Re: NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here (Xbox 360)

Been playing the demo a few days.

Pros:
-New dribbling mechanics..more of the freestyle control look and feel
-Aggressive nature of jumpshots, dribble drive, layups/dunks
-Defense..(contact, falling on fouls)
-Different free throw routines/shots

Cons:
-Lack of ball/rim interaction on jumpshots (possibly rmv for demo)
-Arch on jumpers, while a good visual aid...perfect arch doesnt mean basket all the time)

BIG Issue: With perfect Release I'm constantly able to hit 35-40 ft jumpers. I know u should never shoot these as they are bad shots. BUT, they are only bad shots b/c players can make the shot but a very low percentages. This needs to be addressed imo.
