Back on topic, it looked like a fadeaway, which is probably user controlled, especially the way he caught and turned to shoot in one motion.

It's seriously such a short clip and so closeup you don't even know all the variables/circumstances of it.

Stop jumping to conclusions that they got his jumpshot wrong. You don't know that. For all we know it can be spot on once we see it in its entirety.

Can you read? I CLEARLY STATED THAT THERE CAN BE REASONS FOR HIS JUMPSHOT BEING LIKE THAT, SUCH AS IT BEING A FADEAWAY, RELEASING LATE, ETC. Stop complaining about me complaining. Everyone else understood what I was getting at, your the only one still complaining. Shut up already.

I also think its a dumb idea to have the shooting button and the dunk button being the same. Imagine using Lebron on a fastbreak and you plan on doing one of his one handed tomahawks from far away like he does irl, and you end up shooting a jumper. That'll piss me off.

Will never happen in the game. You holding turbo and the shot button establishes the fact that you're going for a dunk.

I understand what you're saying, but if you look at my post about Live 10, specifically Melo, I stated how this was the most realistic Carmelo looked in a game since Homecourt. I've been praising this game left and right. I have no reason to just bash them for no reason. Like I said, if it was just a late release, then cool. That's good that we actually get to hold the ball longer if a defender may block the shot. I just thought that was how his release actually was and not him shooting the ball late intentionally. From all the things I heard about the game, I love it. But, until I play the demo I can't say I'm going to buy the game. I think a lot of people feel that way.

Hey I didn't say you were wrong anywhere bro. You don't have to explain anything to me. I agree with you.

Bottom line for me is I'm really excited about Live this year. I haven't been this excited for Live since 05. I was a serious Live ***** until I played 09.

Lol I figured that, but just the thought of it bothered me. So I had to get it out there. Thanks man, game looks very promising.

So what if I left off the left stick, but I'm still holding down the trigger will my player still go for the dunk or pull up for a jumper?

Lol. I have every Live game from 94 til 2007. Once I played 07, I gave up on the franchise. 08 was horrible. I loved the 09 demo, but to be honest with you, the player FACES is what turned me off from that game. That's the only reason why I didn't buy Live 09. Now with the players looking much better and most likely an upgrade as far as gameplay, I'm definitely excited for this game. I plan on buying the game, BUT I have to plan the demo first. Still, this is the most excited I been for a basketball game since Melo was on the cover of Live. Lol.

Re: Exclusive Hangar Developer Diary

meh...the more i see of this game the more the defense seems to be lacking. the defense on the lebron dunk was terrible. someone already mentioned that K-mart is facing AWAY from lebron when he goes for the block. He's facing the wrong direction! come on EA. not to mention Lebron runs into 2 defenders and there is no contact to be seen.

the defense on D. Wade's layup was just as awful. he just pushes the defender all the way through the key with no contact or resistance..the defender makes no attempt to even contest him or stop his progress. the defender is clearly touching him and blocking his path, yet there is no visible contact at all. I can see this getting old real fast. Once the real gameplay vids and the demo come out, we will see for sure, but the defense just looks terrible so far. I have yet to really see a defensive moment that looks right to me.

i dare say that all these demonstration videos are gonna be set on EASY. I understand you wanna see some defense (as do i) and i'm sure we will see a blog about defense soon

I see his point, and it's valid...but Live's D is solid. The rotations, the mechanics, it all works good and has been revamped for '10.

The fact that you see players jumping the other way is just a part of video games and something we can live with, especially with user controlled players. It's really not that big of a deal if occasionally the ball awareness is a little not perfect. It's virtual representation of basketball and I don't think people understand that programming and making every little thing spot on perfect is just not going to happen.

I mean, when playing with your buddies and having a great time with the game, are you seriously going to say "omg my player faced the other way (the direction I was aiming) when I jumped for a block" ?

This. I've been noticing that too in a lot of their vids.

Maybe.

To me, it would make more sense for them to show some better defense, as a lot of those plays would look a lot more impressive with some collisions and better defense.

Why make the defense and collisions look bad like they do in some of the vids?

I would be more impressed if I saw nice collisions and solid contests on these layups and plays in traffic.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how this plays out.

My only thing is these things have occurred in every basketball game. Some guys just like the way it looks in 2k better.
