Just a heads up, this thread will most likely be moved.

But yeah, that game dominates! I'm finally starting to get the hang of the dunk contest. (I'm cheap, my dunks are all basically the same, but I press a different finisher and get 45-50 everytime).

I bought it on Saturday the 2nd. I now have every dunk down but the 720. Talk about addictive

just got the game yesterday mailed to me...i have to say, i was disappointed in the quality of the graphics...the players look very cartoon-like...imo, ESPN 2K5 has much more realistic graphics...not sure about the game play on ESPN 2K5 since i have never played it, but i plan to buy that game as well.

still haven't messed around w/the Allstar weekend or Dunk Contest yet though...i'm sure i'll love that part of it, since it was the main reason i bought Live to begin with...but i think i might play ESPN 2K5 to track the season because the graphics & gameplay are supposed to be better.

Man you are so full of it....

How did you buy it and not mess around with the Slam Dunk competition after first buying it? I woke up this morning and that was the first thing I did was play Live. Before I go to work I might put it at least 3 more hours on this game....and I got kids to pick up and take care of....not to mention sleep.

The graphics are cartoonish? What? Are you serious? They got everything down perfect this time. Play the three point shoot out and watch the way some of those guys shoot.....They got Reggies whole form down pat....Even the way Steve Nash tilts his head to the left.

Take a look at Tim Thomas and Crawford during the dunk contest and tell me they look cartoonish......

They got new annimations on everything. The passing is more crisp and the Artificial Inteligence is smarter than ever. Try tossing the ball ahead on the break....the player does a short skip, that is so subtle it's awesome. You could throw the ball of the backboard on purpose if you want....

Geez man this game is awesome....I would never play 2K5. EA Sports answered all the prays. This time around they focused on the game instead of the soundtrack and that stupid intro and screen saver BS.

Awesome game....man this is some free advertising they need to send em a check. The game is seriously flawless.

The only nock on the game is the post game. It's truly a battle to get off a score down low. But the rebounding blocking is alot better, also the inside finishing moves are breath taking so it's not even a real issue.

This game is the best thing that ever happened to me, lol.

what are you talking about? why would i lie to you guys about my personal experience w/this game? unlike you, i have a life & don't devote my entire day to playing video games when i buy them...

like i said, i played the game, i enjoyed it, but was disappointed in the graphics, because the players looked cartoonish for my taste...i've seen enough screen captures of 2K5 to realize that their graphics seem more life like.

calm down...what do you work for EA games or something? you act as if i just insulted your mother.

Shut up with your silly arse.

It's not even that serious.

I'm obviously overdoing it just to get a laugh....yeah dry humor but for you to take it there it ain't that serious.

never wanted to take it anywhere dude...just stated my own opinion on it...i didn't realize that would upset you.

Geez louis rice and beans venereal disease quarter pounder with some cheese......

live looks like a cartoon on PS2 but not as much on Xbox... its sick either way tho... IMO live is better to play against someone else while ESPN is better to play against the computer

you guy wanna hear whatz goin on in my dynasty so far???

Guess what team is it
