That's awesome rawdog, thanks for the quick answers. After reading your post earlier today i can't get it out of my head, there is so much that sounds good about this game I can't wait to try it.

More questions:

Did you notice any new jumpshot animations, or does everyone shoot that pefect Ray Allen J all the time?

Also, last year the take-charge button on D was ridiculously effective when you got good at using it (pissed me off to no end playing online the few times I did). Is it still as powerful this year?

Are the fastbreaks toned down a little bit? I liked them in 2003 but every single team would run and gun like the Mavs...

On D can you pick off passes? I couldn't do it in Live 2003, and when my teammates did it they would somehow grab a pass when they had their back turned to the play. Please tell me this is better.....

Thanks again!

I did notice a slight difference in Jump shot animations.. for instance when you Release to the O to early you shoot an ugly short armed jumper with no follow through, but hold it just right and you shoot a picture perfect Jumper...
The take charge button I barely used it on D, but I was able to draw one charge using it but that was when a Guy was trying to dunk on me...
Fastbreaks are seriously toned down on 2004..
And yes you can definately Pick off passes, inbounding the ball takes some strategy when the press is on, because you steal of the inbound..

My question is this... I know that there are now seperate dunk and shoot buttons, but if you press the dunk button when you're 12 feet away from the basket, do your players suddenly launch off and do a crazy dunk like last year? Please tell me no!

<hr /></blockquote>

In a word No... IF you press the Dunk button too early your guy will shoot a Floater/Runner or try a Layup if you are just out of dunk range..

Sounds very cool. I'm definitely prepared to give this a shot this year. The battles for position and off the ball stuff sounds great.

Two questions:

1. How are the team styles? I read one VERY early preview that said every team ran it's offense through the SG...but that they'd fix this before release? Have they done this? Ie, do teams whose teams primary scorers are PF's go to them?

2. How are the arena's?

Thanks

I tell you what I only played with the Cavs because thats my team and they had a very balanced attack between D. Miles, R. Davis, and Lebron James... But as for other teams im not sure... the one game I played against the computer they had Denver and they were going to carmello and Camby, with Andre Miller doing most of the Passing..

The Cavs Arena which is the only one I played in Looked pretty good but it was a Little Dark...

Dog........in your opinion how much has the game toned down???

Is it alot slower paced than last year or only just a bit??

thanks

As I stated earlier the game is no longer an Arcade Fastbreak DunkFest... If you Like a Fast Game though you can adjust the Game Speed Slider.. Myself I had the Game speed Slider on 65 the default was 50...
