NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

[J.R. Locke]

Some good things in there but my goodness do the models and animations look funky.

not bad...

I owned LIVE 08 for quite a while and still fire up the old demo once in a while and this is leaps n bounds ahead of it... still has a few rough spots on animation but one thing I've noticed about that is you almost always notice it a lot more when watching it than when playing it.

I think this will hold up pretty well to the competition this year

The fact that some people can't be satisfied no matter what video is released by all means stuns me.

Okay you've posted in every thread posted, about an animation that bothers you, we get it. But dang seriously its a broke record. What about the hundred others that look fine.

One thing I heard no one comment on, is the foot planting and how well they run up and down the court with out all the sliding.

No one gave credit to the skin textures, court detail. The emotions in the players. How great every details in the some of the crossover animations.

All I hear is negative after negative from the same people, who keep saying I'm not going to buy it and 2k this. Seriously if you have no intentions of getting this game, stop posting already.

I didn't see one animation in this video, that looked anywhere near a game killer or such as issue of unplayable. Game looks great, and much better than 08 in many ways.

I love the fact that I will finally complete my dynasty, game looks solid overall. Even with the hiccups, its looking to be a great game this year. Thanks EA NBA Team.

C'mon man, plenty of people had a lot of good things to say. I'm as big of a 2K basketball fan as their is and even I said I liked a lot of what I saw.

I feel you. I was actually surprised after watching this video (that I personally thought looked great) that people were really unhappy....but there are some positive thoughts. I also agree with Klocker who mentioned how you don't notice some of this stuff as much when playing. Only problem I really see are the floaty passes, and those even look improved from 08. I don't expect live to overtake 2k at anypoint honestly. But they have definitely provided me a very playable alternative.

[jtdribbles25]

looks like the spin move is the right speed as well.

Tell em jt.. its definitely looking worth a buy. I have Live 08 that i bought when the price dropped as i said i would, and these videos look alot better than the current game from animations to the simple fact that the players dont just pop off the floor when they dunk now.
