One of Boston's strength's defensively is their ability to rotate and bring helpside defense quickly. I also thought the passing was kinda sloppy but that can be tweaked by reducing the INT slider. CPU offense was running the same generic default plays from what I saw. Usually those plays consist of very little ball movement and they give you simple catch and shoot plays and a basic post up play. But from what I read we have unlimited potential to enhance the CPU's offensive sets this year. I also think the physicality (sp)can be stepped up a bit and maybe lowering speed will result in more contact or help the game render more physical play inside. Of course this wouldn't apply to teams such as Phoenix and Golden St but you get the idea of where I'm going with it especially for playoff type games or matchups during the season. I've seen enough of this years version that has me motivated enough to actually play it all year again which didn't happen over the past two years once the hype died down. Oh Yeah and when will we finally hear the best voices in the business Doug Collins and Kevin Harlan do a video basketball game together for once. They should be the 2nd commentary team in this game if not the 1st since Kerr is no longer doing it and I want a change of pace to Albert for once.

Nah, Live 09 played so much better out of the box than 2k9. Sliders tweaks were barely needed other than minor tweaks to adjust for player skill. Live 09 had awesome defensive rotations...check out czar's video about the defenses. People can cry about the animations and look of the game, but you can't argue that the gameplay in terms of AI playcalling and defense wasn't the best there is. This coming from a guy that played both games EXTENSIVELY
