totally agree


all of those dunks are possible. I never thought anyone would go off th4 ground or glass between the legs but it happened

I never thought anyone would catch a windmill opp over someone, but it happened


Vince, Lebron, JRich others could probably pull most of that off. They didnt go to crazy. I think the contest will dope. They had to put some stuff in there that hasn't been done to make it fub.


Maybe some of the cats in the real thing will steal some ideas and we'll see the real thing

Ummm, they did a front flip and then dunked it in the video. You most defently cant do some of the crazier dunks that are represented... Also a 1080 dunk was mentioned in the preview. So unless some long jumpers and gymnists learn how to dunk the ball and enter the contest, i dont feel there is a need for such an arcadish approach.

I remember Corey Maggette doing a front flip then dunking in the slam dunk contest. I don't remember what year tho. He didn't do exactly like the video but he did it and he dunked.

Re: Crazy Dunks

I've seen someone do a cartwheel and then dunk it. I'm glad EA has these dunks in the game. Most of them can be done in real life but not that many dunkers in the dunk contest are creative. I remember someone say the were going to try a 720 in a contest(Can't remember but I think it was J Rich).

Re: Crazy Dunks

I hear wat the kid is sayin......I think Live is goin for a complete arcade approach with the Dunk Contest and the reason they say you can do like 20, 000 dunks is cuz they are impossible...............it could be fun, but it can also be annoyin playin against someone and you see them jump up, do a 360 and then put it through their legs TWICE!!.........that can't be done.

Vince Carter himself wouldn't even dream or think of tryin to do that...........

The dunks in the, most of them are impossible.........it could be fun, but it's really UNREAL

also, the 3pt contest, that mess about signature shots is BOGUS.........there was nuttin different about Ray Allens shot or Pejas shot.........i know Live fanboys will say there was a difference, but there wasn't a difference......if it was another player doin the same shot, you wouldn't even recognize that Live was tryin to do a signature shot....

Well the videos are very early, remember this game comes out in October. So they will probably implement the shot amimations later.

Re: Crazy Dunks

Man, you guys are the biggest bunch of whiners and cynics I've ever heard. Why would a reviewer from IGN say there were signature shooting styles if he didn't know they were in the game? I agree that the shots I saw in the video were not signature at all, but I bet they have them when all is said and done. If it were just some press release from EA I would be more skeptical, but we're talking IGN here.

As for the dunk comp, I think it looks tight. I read an interview with VC where he said he could do a 720 so why not? And I haven't read anything about no 1080 so whoever posted that please send a link or paste it into this thread or whatever. If that's true I'd be pretty disappointed - that would be going too far for sure. I hope they keep the guys below the rim, too. I'd hate to see dunkers with their heads way above the rim. I've seen blockers in Live 2004 with their neck at the rim and I always hated that.

Still gotta give EA props no matter what. I've wanted this for 10 years and it's about time someone did it.
