      i mean i was referencing what you said in your post. sorry for the confusion. but yes yes yes all thanks to billharris44. you found something good.

      hey bdoughty, have you..or anybody else seen anything reflecting a true arcade move while using *arcade*? cuz i haven't. in past games, players would fly above the rims or whatever but on this....i don't see it. this is weird. all *arcade* did was make it more sim-like....at least i think. feels more like a 2K game.

        Gotcha...

        I have always thought games like Live and 2K that are giving the "arcade option" are only doing so to remove all the rules like out of bounds, fouls, and the like.

        Not for special power up type abilities. To be honest this is the first time in any of these games I have used the "arcade" option since I always buy the NBA Streets and Jams for that type of game.

            You must be on crack, the two modes are the same. Do you really think noone at EA would have noticed this?!

            I tried 3 games with different teams and noticed no difference in speed. The only difference I think I spotted is that player abilities seemed to get boosted in Arcade mode.

              the players attributes are still the same unless u have changed them so they are still as fast as they always were in the game. The "speed" which everyone is chatting about is the pace of the game and the tempo. If you think about it it makes perfect sense.

                As crazy as it sounds, I see a big difference in the speed and the pace of the game. It's really weird, I had to play 6 mutliplayer games (3 sim and 3 arcade)--well, whatever it's called all my games are going to be in arcade mode with simulation rules. At first, I was "yeah right", but I had to try it out myself--and there is definetly a difference between the modes. If you think both modes are the same, you need to play more. IMHO, the game just got a lot better in my eyes!
                BTW--no one is saying the game is automatically a "sim" but we are strictly talking bout the gameplay.

                      supposedly, over at nba-live.com, they are stating that the rumors of the "switch"are not true. That's coming from a reliable source. IMHO, there is seriously something totally different from arcade/sim mode. Maybe EA won't admit to it becaue they might have to re call all the games they've sold. Or they don't want to get any heat about the game was rushed crap. I just hope they fix it for the PC version. But I'm definetly liking my live experience a whole lot with the new settings. In the end, that is what really matters. Right!

                        here's the direct quote from the web site:

                        "NBA Live 2003 Rumour Killer -
                        A note from EA themselves: the reports about the bug in NBA Live 2003 (Arcade/Simulation Mode switched) are bogus. I can't comment from personal experience as I won't have the game until late November, but the rumours have been dispelled by an extremely credible source, I'd say that reports that suggest the bug exists are the result of false claims or confusion."

                          i noticed a huge difference in dunks. in sim mode you can dunk with any big guy from anywhere in the paint with the turbo held down,this is on all star by the way. when i put it on arcade to see what all this fuss was about i was amazed not that much dunking,more layups and more missed shots. i played 3 games in my season with the cavs on sim and then 3 more on arcade i have to say i'm sticking woth arcade play with sim rules. why would ea have to recall the games for this not so important bug just admitt it and let the public know about the little mistake. i love both 2k3 and live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            So where is the Arcade Mode?
                            I remember there is one video in IGN shows that the player can jump high up the rim. I thought that's the arcade mode.

                            EA might feel that's unnecessary from the feedback and they fixed it.

                              EA is hiding something plus who ever made that post can't really be trusted either. I could have made that post and said that I knew someone at EA . I've played about 3 games on Arcade(OPPS!!!! I Mean Sim) and the difference while not staggering and is Very noticeable. The tempo of the game is slowed and I am loving it. Ok say EA didn't mess up then why does So Called Arcade mode play more like SIM-Mode , and the So Called Sim-mode play like Arcade(kind-of)
