Wow. This is the second post I seen of you jocking Mike Wang in the last 30 minutes, dude. Give it a rest. I'm sure you'll find out that he was NOT the heart and soul of the 2K team. But don't let the truth get in your way.
But back to the TOPIC: As for the Live demo, I will say that I loved how dribbling around like an idiot is punished. I wished there was a more realistic way to do it instead of just losing it in open space, but as long as it helps balance gameplay, I'm more than cool with it. Some of the movement is heavy handed, in my opinion, but the animations look good and it helps it all FEEL right. The other thing I really like about Live is analog passing. That is nails.
