How do you explode out of a triple threat move? I've done it a few times by accident but I don't know the proper way to do it.

Point the right analog in the direction you want you want to explode in then use the Left analog to start the animation in that direction. I hope that helped.

playing the heck out of the demo

pros
- great playing calling system ( I love it )
- very good use of the double team from the AI
- like the easy pick & pop or screen & roll system
- some very cool animations

some cons

- full body clipping ( player warps through the defender) too many times
- the direct passing not great
- sometimes you don't always feel in control
- some of the faces just look way off to me esp. sasha for the lakers
- one last thing kinda strange i was making 30foot plus shoots to easy in the game playing on superstar.

having fun overall cant wait to see 2k9 demo to compare.

You don't need to point the right analog stick in the direction you want to explode, just point the left analog in that direction. For example, you can do a jab step (right stick flick right, or hold right if you want to hold the step), then while in the jab step simply point your left analog in either direction, and the player will explode out of the triple threat in that direction.

While standing still you can also hold the R2 button (or QSA button) and move the left analog stick in either direction, and your player will quickly drive in that direction. Works great after a shot fake.

Everything also applies when your dribble is alive.

I just had Kobe do the Jordan dunk and then his airplane flying around the court. Just nasty. I love coming off of a screen, catching the pass, and just letting your momentum carry you into a fading or leaning jumper. Looks so fluid.

Here's the thing, I love the demo when playing offense, but defense just seems more difficult than ever, anyone agree?

Re: NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here 360 & PS3

Not at all. On the ball defense is an absolute blast. You pay for your mistakes if you go for the ball all the time.

IN the post... needs work.

When the **** is this going to be available at the PSN store? Nobody wants to play NBA 09 Sony, quit delaying this demo.

Nivek, on your PS, go to "new user" on the far left

Create a new account but choose UK when choosing the country.

Once you set it up and go to the PS store the Live 09 demo is there.

You can delete the UK afterwards if you wish.

Quick Question:

This is my first time playing NBA Live since like 04 so I don't know too much about the edit mode.

I have noticed that some players don't have team colored shoes, like Rondo's are I think blue and others have colors that don't match their teams. Do you guys think this is a demo problem or will it be like this in the real game? Will their be an option to change the shoe and make sure its the same color as the teams?

How do you play defense? Just hold down on the right analog stick?

Re: NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here 360 & PS3

think 2k's lockdown system with the trigger button. Its in both games but executed differently.
