I'm just hoping for the best bball game.

Can't be quoted enough. I went from Live to 2K a few years ago, and can't remember the last time I played more than one season without getting bored. In fact, 2K7 was the last time I've made it through an entire season. 2K8/2K9 were played 95% of the time with my brother in law.. That just shouldn't be.

I'm liking what I see so far from Live. It's always been the gamplay aspect that kept me away. If they can pull off both aspects (gameplay/franchise) I'll gladly come back to the Live camp.

I agree. 2k7 was the last game I finished a full season on as well. It just got stale after that.

To me the Tyrus Thomas dunk looked a little floaty and stiff (same with the corner three pointer by Ronnie Brewer maybe?). In addition, it looks like the ball sticks in the net or goes through the rim too slowly on made shots. But again, it could be my being accustomed to NBA 2K. It's kind of like when I go from playing my XBOX360 to playing someone's PS3. The PS3 controller feels so tiny and unworkable but truly, if given a couple days, it'll feel natural. I'm glad Live is stepping their game up. I also love the amount of retro jerseys they have. It makes a big difference when using classic teams. With that said, I believe I'm still going to roll with NBA2K at this point, unless something drastic takes place.

"I think it at least has a little bit to do with being used to NBA 2K." was the best post for today...Its true we all looking at it from that standpoint and nba live is amazeing..
