    Re: Inside Blog This Week.. you'll "witness" something cool.

    It was speculation on the part of the posters in here because of the subtle hint in the twitter post that said we would witness something cool.

    Im sure I saw people asking for it over this past year...but EA never said they'll be showing off the new chalk toss presentation

        So IF Michael Jordan was playing in today's era, you mean to tell me that he'd be rated a "99"....only 2 points better than LeBron (or 3 points better than Kobe)?

        Player ratings need to be revamped and the over-inflation of players value's need to be toned down a bit IMO. Same goes for the other NBA game.

        Since you guys are including LeBron's "chalk toss" and probably other "signature" moves and plays......are we going to expect this from other players around the league as well?

        KG's powder toss?

        Kobe's fist bump of the scorers' table crew?

        Vince Carters pull up on the net before tip off?

        Hedo's hand shiver thingy?

        Shaq and his lineup intro antics...and many others?

        ....or is this going to be EXCLUSIVELY about LeBron? That's basically what I'm trying to understand and figure out.
        Who told you that the blog will have anything about Lebron? Did Marcus state that they where gonna release anything remotely related to lebron? Your just trying to find a reason to talk smack about lebron.

          agree to disagree I guess.

          I think our ratings scale is extremely fair. Besides, it's not us who does it in the first place. This is all Dynamic DNA.

            Yeah, I knew, I just don't like it when people just state an assumption as fact.

              Does anyone else find it funny that whenever someone on a sports message board is trash talking LeBron and talking about how disgusted they are with all the hype he gets from ESPN and whoever, there's usually always some trace of Kobe or the Lakers in their screen name or avatar? You know as if Kobe hasn't seen his fair share of hype or MJ comparisons since his first NBA game.

              Anyway, if something cosmetic is to be added to the game, I personally would much prefer to see the NBA Finals patch make it's way into the game (2K had this on 2K5 last gen, but it hasn't been seen since anywhere) it's a little detail, but it goes a looooong way in the atmosphere of the NBA Playoffs and the moment you're playing in. Also on the note of the Finals' cosmetics. How the heck do you leave out the O'Brien trophy graphic at center court? The Finals' text made it, but not the center court logo? Again this is minor, but it does a lot to suck you into the atmosphere of the Finals to have the patches, the right logos and a hyped up crowd. For whatever reason all of our sports video games have gotten away from delivering an authentic representation of their sport's biggest games.

                The one thing I will agree is that Lebron really improved this year. His defense and his shooting got better so he should be at least 98 I guess?

                  Yeah 2k has had that center court trophy since 2k7 i believe. I didnt know they had patches on thier jerseys in 2k5 (I played live 05 that year and they didnt have it in there either) But yeah patches and center court logos would be nice, along with trophy logos on backboard padding and NBA finals curtains in the rafters up by the 300 level. And maybe show some kinda Nba finals intro with the players coming out of the Big Trophys when they are being introduced.

                    Can we get player intros period before we worry about this kinda thing?

                      They had intros in live 08 but I want the real intros (IE Lebrons chalk toss, KG's head banging, Vince Carters doing pullups on the the rim ect). I am begging for at least Lebrons chalk toss please!!

                        I thought he meant player intros like the PA announcer announcing each player's position, college/HS, number and finally his name.

                        As far as I know that's not in Live 09

                            I think with all the pleading we've been giving these guys they are gonna make sure thats in there, but its not like we havent had just player intros in Live before. I want to make sure they can get as much in as possible and dont leave out the rewarding details of the intos when you make it to the finals. I just looked at the Madden intros they got for Ray Lewis and they are nice, if intros arent in Live that would be kinda disappointing, but im confident theyll be there.
                            Yeah so in summation I don't know who you racing I'm already at the finish line with the flag waving, c'mon!

                                He did slightly, but the midrange game still lacks big time. If you look at his shot charts, he's in the 29%-35% range everywhere outside of the paint. And for a 33% 3-point shooter, he still chucks up far too many 3's....but that should improve. And his 1on1 defense isn't that good really. People get caught up on the weak side help blocks that he has, especially on fast breaks when he trails the play. And playing the passing lanes to get steals doesn't really mean good defender, like a lock down type of defender.
