Live's issues tend to be with animations which only need more animations so more options are available to see on screen whereas I find gameplay issues in other sports titles to be the biggest culprit. I really like the graphics of Live. I think they are severely underrated. Despite the lack of names under AI controlled players, I constantly know who has the ball without question. You may need more than a working knowledge of the league and its players (and what they look like on your television screen) to take advantage of this, but as a fan that watches mostly only highlights and a handful of full games during the season (wish I had more time to watch more), it's enough and Live does a good job of portraying the players. I definitely would like to see mid-range players play more of a mid-range game (it seems that guys like Nowitzki prefer to play the blocks or the three point line when in reality Nowtizki will mostly hang around the three point line and free throw line extended) and obviously more options in the post game but this series is improving substantially. Live 17 will be purchased on release date so consider that an extra sale come October.

I agree with you 100%, you are not alone. I'm a big supporter and will continue, IDK I love Live.

The graphics part you mentioned, its so true, I think LIVE is one of the most beautiful sports games, very underrated.
