That would never get called tho.

NBA players get away with that crap all the time... maybe he is in training?

gonna merge this

The game is really coming along, although I would agree that the jumpshots still look a bit twitchy. Hopefully, they can continue to smoothen those out as it approaches completion.

You guys are clowning the assist producer for travelling when he hit that ICE COLD J in some dress shoes? PFFT, and the 2k fans think people complain alot

Nah, that video was nice, i like the touch with the producers explaining the game themselves on the court trying to make things more personable to the fans and exposing who they are.

IMO they seem much more knowledgable about the game than the other guys i remember seeing (no slight).... especially the cheeser guy with the glasses who loved to do nothing but dunk with kobe every play

The dunks look alot smoother, jumpers seem to have different variations that look like they fit. Hopefully you can actually feel a release point because that ruins things for me in Live 08.

Oh and I think they finished the game already so whatever you see might be what you get, so yeah maybe next year they can continue to smooth the game out.

This is key for me as well. I hope you can really feel the jumpshots this year. I hope they don't feel as stiff as they look*pause*

KDRE, the rockets havent had haluska and green for awhile now. SOme of the footage may be what we're getting but I dont know about some of it. I guess we'll wait and see.

That kobe dunk at the end was the only thing that looked off to me animation wise. Sliding or something on the initial take off.. Not a huge issue.

nba rewind sounds fun but awfully complex if you think about, so I do wonder how execution is on that, and the daily updated DNA.... I dont want the spurs to all of sudden change their tendencies to shoot threes for their next game because the past game they made 15 of them.. I want the CPU to evaluate the current matchup and revise its tendencies to match its player personell. thats truely dynamic. The spurs next opponent where theyll be getting their tendency increase in three pointers may be the BEST three point defensive team. Sure you want a team to play to their strengths but it has to be both reflecting on the past and looking ahead. Will live be looking ahead in any instance?

I liked the charge animation at 1:11. The Hornets new uniforms look nice.
