    As far as the gameplay though, the pick and slip is definitely a money play right now...the AI just cant cover it....going to put a video up when I can....half court defense is pretty solid otherwise but this is a bit worrisome especially if it makes it to H2H..

    A random +: I really like the celebration option after And 1's, really nice touch

      There's a slider for contested shot success. Try lowering it to your liking for the CPU

        I've had my good and bad games. KD and Klay are the main ones Trying to get my timing down on Superstar. If it's not a jumping contest they will snipe you...

          I preferred last years commentary team. I found something that will annoy me every time I block someone. One of the commentators would do a "hmmmph" sound after a block.

          So far I'm really liking the controls though way too many broken ankle animations.

          Its very smooth and a bunch of new animations adds to the smoothness.

          It's probably because it's a demo but I don't think I noticed any sweat.

          I love that we can control the celebrations like Madden.

          I didn't really explore the control but can we change the controls to camera relative?

Don’t want to give a full impression since I’ve only played one game, but I absolutely love the feel of the game. I do however feel the game has gotten a tad darker though, but it’s still visually very nice. It’s definitey a buy from me, but might wait until it’s discounted. I’m a franchise guy & it doesn’t sound like that part of the game was touched at all.
              You've obviously never played any legacy Live game... Say Live 10.

                They main part of the game... How sad... I'm going to see if Sony will let me cancel my preorder and get 2K just for franchise mode this year. I don't love the One mode or Street ball. I'm not buying these games for those modes.

                  Can you CONFIRM this? Is CPU calling time outs regularly if they fall behind and subbing tired players? This was a major legacy issue the last few Live games, cpu never calling time outs and didn't sub out. Also does the camera keep up with the ball being thrown down court?

                    Step up from previous game. only played the tutorial and about an hour of 5v5 scrimmage.

                    Few boxes they checked off.

                    Plays look like they got some attention. Being able to Branch out for back screens and others cutting looks great. Can get players open looks off ball.


                    Defenders not glued to players anymore. Spacing is improved and plenty of small windows for high percentage shots.

                    It's live but the player movement/motion looks great.

                    Post game is improved. Fast breaks actually work(assuming low difficulty). Agree with most in thread about the negatives.

                    Hate passing in both games and both still look like crap.


                    Hopefully someone gets the game early, so we can see franchise mode. I have no faith in any mode besides the one.

                    Help please.

                    How are you getting the plays to work? Every play I ran broke down almost immediately and I don’t think I had 1 guy get an open look.

                    Any particular plays you used that worked good? I would like to try.

                      The commentary isn’t as ‘dynamic’ as I would have hoped for. Maybe it’ll be updated at release? It was one of their selling points this year.
                      Don't count on it, they really didn't make huge improvements last year through patching, other than adding some roster editing.

                        I would take that with a grain of salt. The game really didn't change much from the demo to the full purchase.

                          You might be passing too early and it's breaking the play down.

                            I hope you’re not comparing Live 10 to this. This game is so much more fluid & overall just better than Live 10 and I actually enjoyed that Live.

                              Not with the Live demo. Last year, it was almost identical going into the full game.

                                The best Live game I’m a long, long time.

                                It has never been this fluid in motion and it has the least ‘weird only in Live’ animations, with only a few remaining.

                                The catch and shoot and catch and dunk transition animations are superb. The bumps and pushes and player cut animations are really good too.

                                Commentary isn’t great but it’s the best Live has had in forever as well. Having players call by the first, last and nick names randomly works so well. It is all pieced together a lot better as well. The commentary reminds me of the (Japanese only PS2 game) NBA Starting Five 2005. Now EA just need to replace the stadium announcer (21 years and counting... no joke).

                                Graphically... very good but the skin textures are slightly lower res than 18 and the sweat isn’t as pronounced. Hopefully both these can be fixed.

                                The courts and general colours look great and still pop.

                                So far so good. Best ball game in years.
