I'm talking about dunks with the off-hand for everyone. And big men underneath the basket doing tomahawk 1 handers. Those aren't realistic at all.

I didn't mention about 2k or between the legs dunks? What I meant by unrealistic is what I said above, that's it. Too many off-hand dunks which is unrealistic, as well as the big men doing tomahawk 1 handers.
I'm a 2k player since this current gen (360) began, but only gave up on Live because like all EA titles, it was suffering from EAitis.
However I always enjoyed (as in, more fun playing someone) Live more in last gen (Xbox).
As I watch these videos I can't help but think that Live looks more realistic (player movements, passes). 2k can be pretty herky jerky, and I hate the weird robotic pivots to inbound the ball and stuff like that. It's looking less like a video game than the competition. I'm not seeing as many passes to someone standing 2 feet away. The court looks big as it should.
Maybe I just need something fresh.

I totally agree with you. I actually thought 2k8 was very fluid movement wise, I didn't they needed to adjust anything but the lead passing and revamp the lock on D along with making the dunks alittle more realistic. But other than that everything was good to me.
But after watching these 2k9 videos I actually feel as though they went backwards with the fluid movements. I'm not sure why so many people say live is herky jerky, because when you see the 2k9 vids its so much of that going on, no foot planting at all and the sliding is at a all time high to me.
In live when you watch the player movement and how they set up plays its just so much like basketball to me. Players move aggressive to there spots and agressively call for the ball in the low post. The fakes like there going to one spot then to another, you can tell it was 5 on 5 motion captured. But in 2k when I watch it, its kinda like the movements are lazy, players just walking around to there spots and such. Theres no since of agressiveness or urgency to me.

I actually like most of the dunks that i've seen in the game. Nice to me. And I just seen an offensive foul call out on the perimeter. I've seen not only D. Fisher setup plays, but Odom and Kobe as well. Very deep.
The video above doesn't support my case. But the posted videos on this forum "Team v. Team first quarter" (or whatever) do. They look more like a real game.
I haven't bought a version of Live for a long time (2004-05 season) but I'm sad to see the "herky jerkyness" still present in 2k. Why post that here? Because I'm getting torn up for posting it under 2k.
I like how in LIVE, players don't run faster than they can move their feet, and when "stopped" they don't go from sprinting to statue-still with no in between. It's clearly seen in 2k (player warm ups, in-game animations too) how they "look real" but when they stop moving they just kind of freeze. Rips me from being immersed.
From what someone else said too, 2k does kind of look like 1 on 1 times 5 (if this makes any sense) instead of 5 on 5. I know that sounds weird, but from the broadcast view (again, not the video a few posts up), Live actually looks like real ball. Players feet appear to be making contact with the floor. The court looks big enough. Players don't pass the ball forward/backwards to someone standing behind them.

I cant believe that I have come to this decision, but I honestly think that I wont be getting a NBA 2k game this year.
I have been playing 2k since NBA 2k5 since it has been, without question, the superior product...and have been enjoying it.
Live has me sold so far. I gotta tighten the old finincial belt for the next few months, so its only 1 hoops game for me this year, and for the first time in 5 yrs, Live has a serious shot of being that game.
The 2k series is excellent and all, but I feel like I have been seeing essentially the same game since 2k7.

Just seeing the variability of play among teams. You can't get that from the demo.
The crowd and audio is better... it could just be the announcers as well.
Plus, with the extended play-time you really see decent usage of the bench and how they play.

I must say I am looking forward to those things. I reserved the game already but it looks like i might be playing the other game for the first 6 months as usual.
I do like things I see in Live this year, but if it needs work, it needs work. If its better than the demo I can see myself having fun just playing it as a videogame and not real life in the short spurts I do get to play.
Totally curious how other teams play though.
