Hey, I bought Live and love it. I just can't understand why jumpshots are absent and you can never get around your defender. There are also a few other quirks, but it seems like a good game. I don't see the ESPN boards like the streets of Compton for two reasons. Number one, I have family in Compton and contrary to the media's stereotypical portrayal of the area, it is not nearly as violent as people think. Rap videos and biased news reports do not constitue reality. Perhaps a Colorado suburban school would be a more adequate analogy??? Second, I think that ESPN fans - myself included - are under pressure for the games to do well because the intense competition and the fact that they (or we) are aligned with the underdogs. I just want games that are good, consistent with their feature set, and fun to play. Thus far, NBA Live does that for me.

Also, if you guys could tell me how to get around defenders and take jumpers I would really appreciate that. Right now, I can't get any fast breaks, and one defensive player can stop a 2 on 1 or even 3 on 1 with ease. Last night, I played it all night instead of football and was pissed off because I love the game, but I can't figure out how to make my players perform. Holla if ya hear me.

Hey man, I wouldn't take the analogy to heart. I think he's just running on stereotypes. The stereotype is Live is a straight Arcade-fest and ESPN is for anyone who likes "sim-ball." And actually it seems like Live is the underdog on most Internet Forums, IMO. It's slowly changing as more people actually play and experiment with the game.

If you want some more tips, check out the slider sticky above. I, as well as others have some really great sliders up there. It makes Live feel even MORE like a sim, amazingly.

All in all, EA did a great job this year.

Thanks for the info Pared. I'll be checking them out since I really enjoy playing Live. Now, I feel I have the perfect group of video games - Madden, Live, Top Spin, and NCAA. All I need is March Madness and I'll be strait. BTW, does that game usually get good reviews?

Graphik How's it going, I knew I would hear from you sooner or later. So If I get flamed I get flamed not biggie for me, BUT rember I never bashed any one of these games. They are both good games in there own right, but only one seems to stand tall and I see it being LIVE. I still love sega. Oh well.

<hr /></blockquote>

You really dont have to worry about getting flamed in here. Everyone seems to be enjoying Live and are in the stages of just disscusing the game and hooking new ppl up with info. Well, in my opinion thats how it seems.

I've been reading in the ESPN forums and sometimes it looks like thier actually discussing the game, then other times it looks like a mob rally. Someone is always getting beaten to death over there like they slept with somebodys sister. Well, this place is pretty calm now due to the fact its been out a week longer. My comparison for the ESPN and Live forums are, Live looks like a quiet house party or gathering where ppl are laughing and mingling amungst one another. ESPN looks like the streets of Compton where studs are waiting on the corner for someone to step into thier territory so they can ask "what set you claim fool"? so they can bullyfoot em right quick.

Dumb anology, but it seems like ppl are jumping ship by the masses. Both games seem to be real good this year, it may be just one that lacks something as you said ESPN does so to each his own.

Now tell me, "what set you claimin homie "????!?!?

So far the best thing I've found as far as getting around defenders is to use the freestyle moves out of the triple threat position, especially with someone like Iverson, McGrady, or even Franchise. Catch the ball on the wing, jab step, and explode past the defender to the basket. The CPU seems more vulnerable to penetration BEFORE you put the ball on the floor.

As for jumpers, the best thing I've found is to move the rock until you find the open man. They'll make open jump shots, but you've got to swing the ball, especially if the CPU doubles the post, just kick it out and rotate to the open man for the shot.
