animations are beautiful.


KG taking turnarounds J's looks sweet.

[WTF]

Re: Live 09 will be in PSN update today

Just sitting in the gym watching the players shoot around, you get to see a LOT of animations. Watching KG just take it to the rim and throw it down hardcore is a lot of fun. You get to see a LOT of new animations that way.

Yeah I know Scoop, I should of done it when you told me.

Just got done playing the demo:
I must say that I really like it. The gym like most people are saying is really cool. I saw KG throw down some nasty dunks. Wish that they would do a better job on the animations when a player is going for a layup and you try to swat it you go horizontal when you are pushing that way on the stick rather than straight up, 2k has it the right way and that is what I like.

All and all I like the look of the game, EA always looks good presentation wise. I do agree with most on the score display, why in the middle is beyond me you have the left side where you could put it at why the middle? Maybe it is something they could fix, not sure.

But I am impressed with the demo. That is my two cents.

I just hit a 3/4 court shot with Kobe as time expired, haha. I got the rebound with .8 seconds left, called a timeout because I wanted one more shot before I went to bed. Tossed inbounds to Kobe, and just heaved it... Front iron... backboard... front iron... drops in. Funny.

If you play the demo alot you'll see a couple of those.

Quick question, any of you guys notice that during some cutscenes the players/coaches have some sort of glow around them, with a thin black outline of the player/coach (sorry I can't provide a picture)? It looks like a graphical glitch of some sort. Anyone else seeing this?

Other than that, there are no more graphical hiccups in my demo.
I'm using a component cable on 480i setting by the way (yeah I know, it sucks), on the PS3.

I'm loving the demo so far. I'm having so much fun running the plays, and like a lot of people have already said, the court spacing is great. You really get to see the beauty of it when playing on press box camera angle.

I also played a couple of games on player lock (Kobe) and it was so much fun! At first I was worried about the plays being ran on player lock, because I wasn't sure where Kobe was suppossed to go. But to my surprise when the play was called the gray circle appeared on the floor telling me where I should position myself during each step of the play. Nice to see that EA thought of implementing the gray circle on player lock also.

I don't mind the delay on the blocks, what I don't like is the unpredictable angle that my players take when going up for the block. Hopefully this was fine-tuned for the final build.

I'm still getting the hang of quickstrike anklebreakers, and I actually stopped playing for a while to see there are some people here at OS who can provide tips on using it. Low and behold I see Da_Czar's 2nd Czarisode! Off to watch it now!

I noticed the same thing, I thought it was my TV, I have a 360 and PS3, but no online on the 360 so its my first experience with the game, I hope this is not how the retail version of Live will be on the PS3, otherwise I will play on 360 or not at all.

It was just too wierd looking to see the cheerleaders, players, and coach's have this "X-Files" glow about them, like it was a blurr.

What what cable and resolution are you playing the game at? Maybe it has something to do with that.

Also, I don't seem to hear the referee's whistle when a call is made (fouls, 3 in the key, defensive 3 seconds, etc.). How about you guys?

Edit: Well, just had a game where I heard every whistle. Probably just a demo thing, I remember a Live developer saying that the sound is gonna be much better in the final build.

Re: Live 09 will be in PSN update today

I didn't notice that at all when I was playing.

Re: Live 09 will be in PSN update today

Did the UK thing and got the demo. I love it. Much improved over 08 IMO. Feels much better. I think the animations are much more fluid and less jerky. The players look fantastic. Nice that they have sig shots now too. Day 1 purchase along with 2k9..

Re: Live 09 will be in PSN update today

Exactly pvj... Im looking forward to this one and since ive been playing nothing but Live 08 the last few weeks i can tell the difference immediately from the movement of the players, to the changes in animations.
