I am takin mine back to EB and pre-ordering ESPN. I just got live yesterday but what a disappointment. There is slowdown, the guys stop on fastbreaks, the graphics aren't as good as I expected, and worst of all the free agent problem. What is the point of having such a great, deep dynasty mode if after a couple years none of the stars are signed to teams!!! I thought it was a mistake at first and signed Kobe for the league minimum, but after going to a couple forums I realised it is a glitch

This is crazy! You only had it a day? WOW!!!!!!!
Does anyone utilize the tools they put into the game to make adjustments? Come on fellas. I'm not trying to convince anyone to keep it but dang. I'm having a ball with the game. I have accepted the fact that there is no way to correct the "guard ball" stance you get stuck in on offense. Nor is there a way to correct the "momentum freeze" after attacking the basket and your man gets stuck and can't move. I have a problem with blocks as well but I can deal with that (for now he he).
After making a few adjustments, I am on chill street. I will gradually go through and change the player ratings to where I feel they should be. EA as well as every other developer has gotten lazy when it comes to player ratings. I had to do the same thing with the 2K series. I said I wouldn't but this is the most fun I have had with a b-ball game in a long time. 2K3 was fun for a while but there was too much dunking and spinning to the hole....no defense!! Points in the paint was extremely too high etc..etc..etc.
With that said, I to will add this to my library. I just wish they had made it for XBox Live.
Lowpressure Out!!

don't bother trying to convince these clowns about LIVE2004. when ESPN comes out next week, there will be a bunch of bitchin' about that game as well. i am LOVE LIVE! just played a game this morning before coming into work. Bucks vs Sonics(me). it was a great game. R.Allen has a 3pt rating of 85 and he shot (good shots) 5-12, seems realistic to me.
also, the cpu AI is pretty good. the Bucks had TJ Ford guarding Barry. common sense would tell you to post Ford up, right, well i did, and abused him for 10 early points. what does the cpu do? switched defenders on him and d-team him everytime, forcing him to get rid of the ball.
the fastbreak issue rarely happens to me, why? because i throw the outlet pass to the player running in transition asking for the ball. this tells me he's ready to run the break. this is usually the pooint guard.
the players ball protecting stance happens because the defender is playin' tight defense, giving yu lil' room to make a move. if this occurs, back away from the defender, and use the some free style moves. if this doesn't help, then it wasn't meant to be (for this round) and look to move the ball & get a good shot before the shot clock expires. don't sit there trying free-style your defender til he bites. your wasting your time, and what fun is that. EA was smart for tuning down the free-style stuff.
the pro hoop can be your best friend and your worst night mare. the cpu will actually bait you into using it too much. when you think you've got it, you'll be called for a charge. i toyed with the charge slider, and this made a big difference for when i use the pro-hop now.
ppl complaining should just purchase ESPN when it comes out. after seening the videos of LIVE and ESPN i knew what to expect, and i honestly feel LIVE has got it this year, overall...
