Playing the live demo at first I thought the game was so basic, but as I learned more moves and learned when to pull them off with varying success due to the physicality of the game, it felt like actually playing basketball. To me it feels as though players feel like robots with unique movements and everything you do fits within these predictable game rules without real physics variables that makes basketball amazing. The 1 on 1 to the 5 v 5 is lacking in fundamental structure and needs to be reworked. Everything outside of the actual gameplay like the play calling, the unique team playbooks and all the off the court stuff is amazing, but the core game play. It doesn't feel like playing real basketball anymore. But that same technology has locked them into a game that feels more like a predictable series of animations. 2K excelled since its infancy because their animations offered a better alternative to the technology available at the time, which made for more realistic looking and feeling basketball. However, after the game that 2k put out last year, a game that I couldn't even play because of the bugs and injury craziness in GM mode, I needed something better. First i'll start by saying I haven't played an NBA Live game since live 98.
