Okay, after playing ESPN for almost a month now, I decided to go back and give Live another try. So far, I am playing on pretty much default sliders, other than steals and speed, and I just had an awesome game with the Cavaliers (Me) vs Celtics. The game went in to overtime, and I ended up winning 127-119. It was great. It shouldn't have even been close, because of all of my turnovers, but they had the lead for the majority of the game.
Going into the third, I think they were up by 11, but I chipped away, and by the 4th quarter, I was down only 3. I had the opportunity to win in regulation, but missed a jumper with Luke Jackson. Here are a few of the key stats:
Cavaliers 127 119 Celtics
James 37 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds
Ilgauskas 29 points, 14 rebounds
Gooden 16 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists
Pierce 41 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists
Davis 11 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist
Payton 29 points, 6 assists
Cavs Celtics
Points 127 119
Rebounds 66 52

Blocks 13 3

Field Goals 46/98 40/104
FG % .469 .385

3pt % .231 .294
FT 29/41 34/53
FT % .707 .642
Off. Reb 18 15
Def. Reb 48 37
As you can see, there were quite a few FT's shot, which is a major plus in my opinion. I need to tweak the Steals and blocks some how, and this game will be pretty good. It is fun, and immersive, so hopefully I can get into it. ESPN is still a good game, but I just need to take a break and have a change of pace. Don't want to get burnt out so quickly before the season starts.
I can't believe how tough Pierce was to contain. For the majority of the 4th quarter, LBJ was on the bench with foul trouble, as he was in the 2nd as well. But he came out fired up in the 3th quarter and Overtime period. In the third quarter, he shot 7/11 having 15 points in the quarter. It was great. He also went 10/13 from the FT line. Never before in a videogame do I remember so many fouls. It was crazy. But it kept me honest I guess.

What happens is what happens in the NBA, the guy gets a hand in your face but doesn't block it.
