Just a short follow up. It seems to me that Live is actually the better game this year than ESPN. I made several points I remember one of them ...

Now comes ESPN with a new feature ISOMotion. I'm not throwing any assumptions at how the gameplay of ESPN is because I haven't tested it out yet. But I believe that this feature will leave us wanting more... Just like NBA Live 2003 did with freestyle...which might put ESPN where LIVE was last year.

I've tried ISOmotion as was well thrown off with it. I mean it looks nice, but it doesn't feel right and it doesn't feel like I'm actually in control of the player. I've also noticed that many people have the same gripes.
I'm feeling NBA Live more than ESPN Basketball. Will it still be better next year?!? Who knows...but the way I see it to most hardcore fans, Gameplay/Dynasty is the meat of the game about worth 75% of replay and overall value. Presentation/Graphics and all that other good stuff is the rest of the 25% (not really dwelling on that ratio, just trying to make a point). Now, as far as next year, if I was a game developer I would rather try and catch up on the other 25% and leave the "meat" of the game intact with add improvements than trying to play catch up on the 75% part. ESPN/VC has nice "cover/artwork on the book" but right now I'd rather be "reading" EA sports.
I know I got slammed with my other post (and I don't doubt that I'll get slammed with this), but if you look around it seems to me that some people would agree with me now. Amd as long as one person agrees with me now...I've completed my job.
Thank you for your time again...now let the slams begin....:-)
