P.S. Thankx for answering the ?s

I'm still playing around w/ it, but for now it's set to 10 min. qtrs.

Re: Beta Impressions...

From what you seen what are the biggest improvements on this years version?

What can I say, I love the All-Star mode.

But for real, I love the midrange game so far and the pro hop being toned down and less effective really makes me happy.

Re: Beta Impressions...

do players still get all bunched up on one side of the court again like in Live 04? or has spacing been improved?

Re: Beta Impressions...

How would you rate the flow of the game compared to Inside Drive? I think ID had the perfect flow and feel to it, but lacked the atmosphere. How does Live compare to our late, and great Inside Drive?

Thanks for the answers, and I am sure you are having a ball playing. Have you created virtua-Steve yet?

Man, I love me some Inside Drive!! Live has a different feel, but then again every basketball game is different in its own way. Thats why we go out and buy em' all, lol. There are some things ID does very, and then you'll wish some things that Live had was in another game. We'll never have that perfect game, but it's so fun to try out and see what they all offer. I'm just happy there is competition out there, that way we don't see the same thing over and over every year.

I created myself w/ ACL brace and all, lol.

Re: Beta Impressions...

What's the first thing you witnessed whch made you say, "That was new 7 cool as hell"?

Thanks

I must admit of all things that actually stood out, it's been the steal animation. It's sooooooooo nice to watch Billups swipe in and take it away from Iverson when he's trying to cross him up.

Not to confuse the actual steal button animation, but when it actually kicks into the steal animation that actually steals the ball, it's absolutely jaw dropping.

Re: Beta Impressions...

What's the coolest new things that have jumped out at you Steve upon playing the game? In other words, what were the first things to make you smile upon playing the game?

(I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I guess I just want to know what struck you as "new and cool" about 2005)

There are a few new post up moves that left me salivating.

Re: Beta Impressions...

How varied are the jumpshot animations...we've all read about how many there are, but in-game...can you really see the difference? Also, how are the tip-ins? Like last years Pro-hop, does it seem too easy?

Thanks Steve

:y4: Speaking of which, I've got a story, but I'll PM you with that, lol.

How would you rate the authenticity of the game. Mainly meaning, do you get immersed into the game as you wuold a real game? And have they improved on the arena sounds that were there last year (Arco cow bells, MSG organ)?

How many games have you played thus far? Are you sleeping on the couch yet for lack of attention to the wife and child?
