Looks like the guys had fun making this video lol! Anyway, I like it, the game looks promising. As already mentioned the player interactions on the perimeter is a nice touch. The Deron off-the-glass and Nash finger roll lay-ins were pretty sweet, as was the Parker vs. Billups matchup.

But what I really liked in that vid was the footplanting. Just look at B-Diddy's drive, and Tony Parker's hesitation dribbles after...even the defensive jostle animations during the lockdown d feature looked smooth footplanting wise. It looks really improved this year imo, at least from the vids that I have seen.

Game looked really nice in my opinion. I can't wait for it personally. Looks to have fixed quite a few of the quirky animations that I had beef with, the dunks and sig shots are better...

Overall, I'm really liking what Live is bringing to the table this year.

I really like Ray Allen's shot. It looks like his signature shot, but off-balanced. Very real IMO. Lots of off-balanced shots per game in the NBA. It's hard to find a guy with his feet pointing to the rim while he's shooting unless is a wide open shot. Pretty realistic.

This is the best Live video right now. It shows defense (looks good). And the smoothness of all of the animations is impressive.

Both NBA games for me this year. No doubt.

PS: Sorry for my english

Mann, this looks like a real fun game. I'm gettin real close to a purchase on this. Especially if DNA works like its supposed to.

graphically its looking very nice. colors are crisp and just has a great NEXT gen feel. 2k can learn alot from that aspect imo. it really puts the game over past that nextgen hump.

one question, why was curry guarding deron in the MSG sequence toward the beginning. i think the only abuse we may see is from the quick guys just running around. i hope that has some dynamic dna effect on the teams morale and makes everyones rating down because of the ballhoging.

Pick and roll switch maybe?

Nice looking vid, the in paint collisions seem close to non-existent, but stuff on the perimeter looks on point....My issue with Live is...whats with the CORNY FEATURES names?? Quickstrike ANKLE BREAKERS??...how many "anklebreakers" do you really see in structured basketball..point im trying to make here is, that real hoopers who want to play a real hoops game like myself, are turned off by such catchy features and names, it just a bit too "gimmicky" if you will

your right. but at this point I don't care what "they" call it. If it plays good, and has a pretty good sense of ai, im in. matter of fact im in, anyway. It looks to have taken the obvious step over 08 that im definitely in. quirky animations and all. I allready know I will have a love it and hate it with this game. so close, yet not just right...lol.

Lol yeah I feel u..ive really been playing 2K only since..well nba 2k..but every year i hope live is decent enough..stopped caring like 2 years ago, but this year the hope is SLIGHTLY back (cause theyve done such a good job with FIFA counterpart lately), no one's saying it has to be 2K..just good enough so at least its an alternate, would love to have 2 different good ball games i can run leagues in

Re: NBA Live 09 Quickstrike and Lockdown (IGN)

I noticed this picture in the article. Are you able to edit shoes this year?

Re: NBA Live 09 Quickstrike and Lockdown (IGN)

Yeah we can edit accessories this year. Also one of the EA developers has said that the Live 365 feature will edit accessories too. So if there are problems like that on release day we should get fixes for that in future updates if you don't feel like fixing them yourself.
