Yeah, and we all know that Game Informer is NEVER wrong

I hope ESPN NBA Basketball IS great, but if it's anything like NBA 2k3, it won't deserve the kudos it's bound to get from review sites. Review sites praised NBA 2k3 last year, but that was garbage. I hope this year isn't the same deal.

As for Live 2004, I'm definitely getting it for the PC. It seems like a very good game, and hopefully the bugs that are on the Xbox won't be on the PC.

2k3 was bad but it was better then Live last year. I think thats why it got a higher rating cuz live was horrible last year. I think because of ID, NBA 2k4 looks to be huge. I heard they fixed a bunch of bugs. Anyways I am returing my copy tomm of NBA Live. POS

When they the cpu or another player tries the pro hop on me i stay in front of them and usually get contact causing a charge or a missed shot soooo work on your defense.

i agree with jdawg... I play straight-up, knee to knee D, so even though the CPU does use the cro hop alot I counter it by taking a charge (if I get in really good position) or contest the shot...

Re: Pro Hop IS too effective...my impressions of everything else also

I just got the game last night, and was able to play two games. Per this board, only settings I changed were to change game speed to 45, and moved fatigue up to 75. Played on "Starter" difficulty level. This game is great. I had absolutely NO problems making open shots when they were present. In my first game, I played as the Nets vs. the Raptors. I shot 46% from the floor, and the CPU shot 48%. With 8 minute quarters, the score was 78-72. The game was extremely realistic. The CPU Raptors went to Vince down the stretch, and he kept the game tight all the way. The CPU doubled Jason Kidd midway in the 4th as it saw I was creating shots for him. Mourning was able to post efficiently down low, and when doubled, could kick it out to Kittles in the corner for the open 3 (of which he made a couple). Richard Jefferson was erratic from outside, and Kenyon Martin couldn't hit anything outside 10 feet. I didn't ABUSE the pro-hop...in fact, I often had difficulty finding a clear path to the basket to even implement it. I was able to use a couple of times with Kidd, who would do sweet looking layups, or with Jefferson, who would bring it strong. In the second game I played, I was the Rockets vs. the CPU Sonics. Again, very realistic results. I won 74-70, with Yao (who simply abused Radmanovic) finishing with 16 points and 12 boards. Francis scored 25. I could not stop Rashard Lewis, who had 28 with a number of breakaway dunks. Again, I think you are only going to get out of this game what you put into it. If you are looking for a REALISTIC simulation of NBA basketball, this game will provide it. If you have the desire to use the pro-hop to drive to the hole every single time, even though you will not be successful all of the time (at least not on the difficulty level that I played), you can make this game into a dunk fest. But having not bought a basketball game since NBA 2002 (ouch!), I think this game is awesome.
