I completely understand the common complaint people have regarding animations. It is quite frustrating any time that you feel you aren't totally in control over your player. That being said, I feel like Live has stayed too far on the other side of the fence. The players just don't move realistically in my opinion. I'm not saying it's deal breaker for me, if the gameplay proves itself good enough, but it definitely takes away some of the immersion when the players all move like robots, both on the court and in the cut scenes. Say what you will about 2k, but the animations look pretty great, especially when you drive the rim. I feel like I rarely, if ever, see the same collision twice, and that's pretty amazing.

I thought the passing was pretty bad on Live last year as well, it will be interesting to see how much that has actually been improved upon.
