Nice find!

"He places the ball down on the ground, kick flips it up over his head and off of the Jumbotron to the right of the basket, but instead of going after the ball, performs a front handspring then leaps into the air to grab the rock. But that's not enough. After snatching the ball, Webb, still in the air, decides to do The Doctor one better. Spud takes the ball and swoops it between his legs, not only once, but twice in a figure-eight style motion before finally slamming it home."

WTF?

Haha I hope some of that is an exaggeration. I cant wait to try dunks with Dr J though.

LOL

While all of the focus is on the Slam Dunk contest, and for good reason, it's a mistake to overlook the quality and improvements made to the rest of the game. In one year, Live has really transformed its 5-on-5 game into more of a sim without losing the fun and flash of previous seasons, Dynasty mode has been revamped completely, and the AI across the board, from the trade scenarios to how players behave on the court, is far superior to any basketball game EA Canada has ever put out. Like I said, even with its flaws, this is still the best NBA Live game in series history and the addition of All-Star Weekend really elevates this title to must-buy status. And at only $39.99, this is a steal even Marcus Banks could appreciate, even if he does only have 70 speed.

Marcus should be a 99 speed and quickness, hes the fastest player in the league bar none

Re: IGN gave it a 8.9

I dont think they base scores of off last years game.

yea, i dont think so either, but i just hope its not the ASW and the its the Gameplay that makes it 8.9

With all the enhancements, ASW, new engine, etc. i was expecting 9.3+

Re: IGN gave it a 8.9

Haha yea that Banks line was pretty good.

I have not paid a lot of attention to this years espn / ea basketball games, but I did not think this was what they had in mind for the dunk contest.

"You can throw the ball off of the Jumbotron, the backboard, the shot clock, you can bounce it off your head or elbow, run and do front hand springs and spin in the air for a 720. Simply amazing. "

Re: IGN gave it a 8.9

the main complaints were about that thing that happens when you steal and the camera does turn quick enough (doesn't bother me because I play on press box). Also he was saying about the fastbreak on how guys catch up but Steve has basically said fastbreaks are better this year. And of course the ratings but hopefully people here will start on the ratings right away and I'll be able to d/l as soon as possible. It sounds like it will be a buy for me.

Re: IGN gave it a 8.9

as far as the fast break go. since its said to be alittle catch up isnt that based on the jacked up speed ratings or players? i mean marcus banks will be caught by the average forward according to the game. a true test would be having the center from Philly, try to chase down Steve nash. if he does then we know it isnt fixed.

I kindof notice them catching up on the fast break. But steve stop the the cpu was next to him. I thought he should have just tooked to the house and dunk on someone or hoped for a blocking foul
