Now my issue with Live is that after that initial feeling of responsiveness there are a lot or negatives to find. I think Live has a great foundation to built on. if they can maintain the feeling of control, improve the overall quality of animations (which can be quite ugly), and just improve the overall basketball intelligence of the game and AI then they can be a real competitor to 2k instead of just being a second option. Can't wait to see how much Live has improved this year when the demo drops next week. The Live team always talks a good game but the execution doesn't always live up to the hype. We'll see if this is the year they can finally deliver on their high expectations.

i think the canimations might win out over time.
here's why
even though live seems to give users full control the animation quality sucks as we all know. but being a creative, i tend to view it like a flip book. instead of drawing out each motion, mo capping is a much quicker process. 2k adds tons of new animations each year so i think its only a matter of time when the tech arrives that will allow them to take away the puppet strings and everything will feel so organic/real people might not know what to do with themselves.
