OK.....my 2 cents

I thought playoff atmosphere was done really well but I was hoping that this Houston / Boston demo had regular season atmosphere so I could see the difference.
Graphics look great, some free throw angles and post camera cuts look super realistic.....like for real for real. I kinda wish we could actually shoot the free throw from some of those different angles.
I liked how both Boston and Houston ran different plays than Cavs and GS did.....of course in the retail version they would but for a demo I was pleasantly surprised.
I think the CPU shoots too many 3's....I played a lot as the Cavs and assumed it was only because I was going against GS but after playing Boston a few times they kinda did the same thing.
Some dunk / layup animations seem to slow down or pause as they kick in....kinda hard to explain.
Sometimes when I try blocking there is also a lag in my jump, almost like an "online" lag....only offline.
Rim Physics are much better than recent versions of Live but occasionally you still get a very odd bounce off the rim that looks unrealistic and almost seems like it's tied into the rebounding animation.....again hard to explain.
I saw some HARD picks that looked awesome....completely flooring the defender trying to get around a screen or blindly running into a screen.

That's all I got.......I honestly think Live will be a serious threat to 2K next year. Live is seriously serious and coming hard....u can really see the effort!!

EDIT.....A few things I forgot......sliding is still here. There are times I lose total control of my player, I hope that gets fixed!
On set plays I've noticed them come over to set a pick many times but when you run the play in that direction your guy misses the pick completely, it's like once he sets he does not move, sometimes he sets completely out of position.
Fouls and body contact look great, maybe some of the best I've ever seen in a hoops game. In replay you can actually see how and where the foul was committed, like legit contact! It's something you have to see for yourself.
Graphics....did I mention how good those look yet?

WAIT....another edit!! I'm sitting here watching a CPU v CPU game and I'm seeing things I've never seen in 2K before but I'm also seeing a lot of really ugly things! I however just noticed one thing that floored me! In the crowd you will see a random fan from an opposing team, in the Garden I see a few random Lebron jerseys, in Houston I saw some GS yellow in the crowd. Pay attention to how THOSE fans react to big shots! They actually respond differently than the rest of the home teams crowd, thats a crazy little touch!!
I think we also forgot that finally Madison Square Garden will be back, no more Knicks arena or whatever 2K calls it. In Boston it's nice to see Comcast Xfinity on the basket support.....EA always pay big money for their naming rights to things. It adds to the detail for sure!

The days of #BynumJesus are over!

Hayward looks great...but he's still got that permanent grin from last year....haha





My man CP3:



Really cool these teams were added.....

I dunno. Hayward has got kind of a Bubba Gump underbite thing going on there

Not one of the better likenesses in Live...

Harden knee/leg sleeve is too bulky

no reason to really compare until live gets modes that will bring people in aside from street ball

After playing this again today and watching videos of the other game /18 this game looks so much more realistic.

The lighting is far better the sliding is so much less. the foot planting may not be perfect but my god it's good.

This game just feels more real than any Bball game I have seen yet

They updated Klay Thompson's face as well!

Agreed. And you don't have CPU defenders magically sliding over into good defensive position out of no where. I cant wait for this game.
