I always used the Press Cam, its just that the court is to small. When I call plays, the players 9 times out of 10 get stuck or bunched up into one another. Its becasue the court is so small that you cant fit 6 guys on one side of the court with out everyone getting stuck together. Watching a real game makes Live court seem even smaller since the camera used to televise the NBA game is the same camera I use when playing the game.

I know what you mean, although 9 out of 10 might be a bit much. I think it's more like 4 or 5 (hehe). Anyway, one of the things I do when I see some bunching up is to immediately call a different play, maybe one that spreads the floor, then immediately call the play I want to run again. Which, in a sense, is the same as pulling the ball out and yelling "reset" when a play isn't working properly. When I look at it this way, it doesn't bother me as much, lol...

When I watch real NBA games, I must admit, I think to myself that one way to open up the REAL game is to widen/lengthen the floor. NBA players are just too big nowadays to keep using the same court dimensions. And I don't mean just widen the lane, like in international ball. I mean lengthen the court a few feet, and widen it a bit as well to compensate for today's super athletes.

The post game does get REAL easy once you become better at it. However, if you move up to Superstar and make some changes to the sliders, you will have much more realistic results with the post game.

First off you said that in Live Shaq can dunk over anyone at will, and In ESPN that he cant so you think that ESPN is more real. I say, you gotta be kidding me right, LIVE is more real cause the last time I checked SHAQ could and always will dunk over anyone at will

. Secondly you must play ESPN again, cause the last time I played ESPN I couldn't even back Jason Kidd down with Shaq, now thats not real at all. Get the facts straight.

<hr /></blockquote>

No buddy, you get your facts straight. In ESPN, there is no doubt that Shaq can back down anyone, just not to the extent that you can in ESPN. Furthermore, Shaq cannot and does not dunk it down on every play. Most of his shots are close range turn around shots after backing down in the post. Finally, I never said ESPN was more real, just that the post game seems more realistic in that you cannot dunk at will. This is true. Besides, make up your damn mind. First you post your stupid brother was impostering you, now noone knows if it's you or your stupid brother. Decide once and for all if you like Live or ESPN. If you read waht I said, you know I haven't decided yet.

Re: Okay I Got Both ESPN and Live and here\'s my tTake....

damn, another dude playing some form of live that i don't have.....my copy is great. I am using the lakers for my dynasty and it's so weird how in my game the cpu doubles almost immediately on shaq and if I drop step Im in no position to do anything except get ripped...or charge...I must have that gold edition... I guess my tv is different too, cuz the court seems just about perfect. try this...see how many steps it is from freethow line to the basket in practice...yep, pretty much the same as it would take you or I....unfortunately basketball is not a one on one game and the court is not supposed to be wide open, unless you are in iso, or on the break....ie, half court game....maybe you should play nba jam or street, much more wide open flow.

Am I the lone person who struggles with Shaq in the post? I just played the All-Star game and he missed his first 4 shots. It definitely wasn't a matter of simply backing them down and hitting the dunk button. Of the 4 shots 2 were blocked, 1 was missed, and 1 was altered and missed. Even after this, it seemed like Ilgauskus and J. O'neal had his number all day.
