This game is sweet.

There are so many moves and so much strategy that if you actually can't find the balance in this game, you're not doing it right.

I totally agree. I haven't changed a SINGLE SLIDER and after 2 straight days of play I am finally learning what it takes to compete at this game. And guess what? It's playing real basketball.

The absolute best simulation of basketball I have ever played. Period.

I agree. This game is hard because it makes you think ALL the time.

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

We have so many people already complaining about the Pro Hop EA has implemented into the game. If anyone plays real ball, this is a move to create some space for you to get off a shot. This is exactly what happens in the game. I do not find that the move is exaggerated. I have used the move in the game and have not been successful on every shot after a Pro Hop. Understand that some moves will be easier to execute on the default and rookie levels. It is made to help you get acclimated to the game. If you get to a point where you have perfected your moves, bump the difficulty level up. It really is that simple.

Live 04 is a great game. It does feel a little floaty, but I love playing this game. It looks great, animates great and has an overall good feel to it. I am not trying to convince anyone to stick with Live. Just don't complain about a move if you really do not know what the purpose of the move is for. When I "Pro Hop" on the court, I create space where there isn't any or I get bumped by some big guy who has stepped up. This happens in Live. I can then get off a sweet lay up or dunk, or I could throw up some trash trying to force a shot. It happens in Live. Learn how to use it in gameflow and not just because it is there.

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.

This is the preseason for me, basketball starts once nba live 2004 for the PC is released.

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

Yall might now remember me but I was on this board lasy year.Well anyway....

Some of yall are lying yall azz off/I got Live 2004 on ps2 and there is nothing wrong with this game.Im playing starter mode and the pro-hop isnt that effective.Actually if you do it alot you charge into people and it only works good if you can get an angle to get pass your first defender if not you will always run into a man.The jump shot is great.It depends on your shooting technique.You hgave to release the button when you reach the peak of you jump.I be busting 3's like crazy with good shooters like Pierce.The Alleys are beautiful and so are the dunk animations.The AI is mart as hell now.I was abusing the paint with Amare and then they started doubling me and forcing me to kick it out.When I was crossing themo over with Marbury they started doubling the perimeter.When I gave the ball to Scott Williams they didnt double.And now they scramble for the foul in the fouth quarter to stop the clock.I dont know what some of you guys are talking about.

if yall remeber me I would post in the NBA 2K3 forum.Im copping ESPN 2k4 without hesitation but I be viewing this board on the low and noticed alot of D ryding of ESPn in here and people going to Live forum bashing.I know a [censored you naughty boy] when I see one.
