They let rebounds that are not immediately in range bounce right by them. Once a live fan, maybe never again I don't know what to say.....Amazing

Yeah just you, its just a different way to ball

Yeah I don't know what hes playing.

Kobe is making me make a thizz face constantly... just put up 16 points with him on mostly jumpers (one poster over Vince on the break) and it was gorgeous. The running jumper to the left baseline was falling like crazy, a deep 3, stepback from the right elbow, a turnaround catch-and-shoot.. craziness.

Now that I semi know what I'm doing, I'm loving this more... I'm starting to get the hang of rebounding and blocking it seems like -- sent one out of bounds with Gasol earlier from the weak side and also managed a stuff on a Dwight dunk with Bynum surprisingly enough.

But wooo, Kobe!... can't wait to use my dude Melo in a real game.

After playing the Demo for most of the day, I played the Combine again, and right now I got to say I'm leaning more towards 2k10. It's a difference what all the little things make. Live 10 (based on the demo) needs A LOT of polish and refinement, where 2k10 a formula well established and just needs to be tweaked. All the stuff the Live guys put work into is revolutionary and definitely have raised the bar, but you got to meet the status quo in all the other areas first.

Unless Live has online franchise mode, I'm 85% sure I'm not getting Live this year...

sounds to me like you're playing on a lower difficulty level. Try playing it on All Star level or Superstar level if you want more realism and less arcade.

Told you stumble !!!! to me whats not good doesn't get much worse than what you originally see. But what is good continues to unfold. IF you dig the gameplay strategy aspect.. That is all I was trying to say. The micro battles and adjustments that are necessary from a basketball standpoint are beautiful IMO.

If your unwilling to go through the learning curve then I can see how some people just don't get it... It is very different gamplay wise to me than other games I have played. Takes some adjustments.

Watching the lakers run the triangle and get everyone involved to me as a student of the game is just too beautiful to pass up. one rocket dunk or bad rebound animation can't ruin that for me.

I'm telling you guys now: Cut the Live vs. 2k garbage out.

You have impressions on the demo? Post 'em.

You don't? Think twice about hitting that reply button.

Ill that is the beauty of having 2 gaming companies. You gave it an honest shot and you feel the other game is more complete to you. Beautiful but at the same time you were able to acknowledge that progress has indeed been made with this title maybe just not enough for you... thats is a more than fair assessment.
