This game appears to be too rigid and choppy. I'm just not feeling it.

Re: NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

i can deal with herky jerky animations, bad animations in general, its truely the gameplay and AI that im interested for this year. especially the dynamic dna. included among that would be late game late qrt AI, substituting at the right time for players in foul trouble etc., and lastly if teams play like themselves and or take advantage of mismatches.

This is basically how I feel about live this year if they can get most of these things that were listed here right. I won't have a problem buying this years game.

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

Re: NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

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.

***this video was actually good in terms of seeing gameplay by a decent player..Man NBA Live will be good this year..I'm loving the post game and the press spin moves going up the court

Me likey!

I agree with you guys Live still has some herky-jerky moves and the floaty passes, but I'm loving the post moves.

I actually thought that was by far the best video we have seen so far for Live, the player movement looked pretty good to me, but then again I have always been a Live fan except for 07

lovin that Bosh dunk @ 2:38

Colour me impressed - that was by far the best vid we have seen of live 09 imo and looks like it'll be a fun game and at worst a nice change of pace from 2k9.

I played lots of 08 and with this gameplay movie 09 looks MUCH improved. The rebounding especially looks good. Players just box out and grab the defensive board.

That dunk at around 2:39 looked reaaly good. I wish all the dunks animated that well

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.

Re: NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

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

Re: NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

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.

Re: NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

You can control you jumpshot this year so its more like 2K's where if you want to shoot well you have to learn that persons shot.

Does it matter how long you hold it down like last year?

or do you have to time the jump shot?

[stizz]

Re: NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Youtube)

Yeah, shot release does matter this year. Supposedly the arc of your shot will show if you released too late or too early.

I honestly don't understand the cartoonish player model comments

LMAO! How are you of all people gonna talk about broken records when you're on an infinite loop in the 2K boards about marketing? Oh my god.

It stuns you that people don't like the look of the game? It just doesn't look good to some of us man, we have a right to say it, regardless if whether or not we buy it. Videos are posted to solicit comments in general, not praise. We post our reactions to it, good or bad. Sorry it irks you we don't share your enthusiasm for a product that doesn't look like it will live up to our standards.


Not really.
