after playing live for almost an entire season.....

i have changed my opinion on the game. Yes i still beleive that the graphics are way too cartoony and players look nothing like they do in real life. which is probably why they don't have a lot of closeups during gameplay like espn basketball does because EA know's that they didn't put much detail in the players. Also my only other huge complaint is that the create-a-player is awful! especially the faces to choose from. Trust me guys, if anyone has played EA's Tiger Woods 2004 and used their create-a-golfer feature, if EA used that same create a player in live next year it would be awesome! All that aside, NBA live 2004's gameplay is fricking incredible! I mean from the forced double teams automatically, to the backpeddling animations on defense, to the diving for loose balls, and the new mid-air shot adjustment, it's all good! I have looked past the graphics issue because the AI and gameplay is so much better, it makes up for the graphics issue. I just hope next year they upgrade their graphics to make their players looks as realistic as sega does.

You want graphics and that wonderful gameplay--Nov.11--the PC version will be your wet dream come true. After the Patchers get done with this game, it will easily be hands down the best looking basketball game of the year!:wink:

That's why I can't wait for the PC version to come out, Patches plus this great gameplay--man it's going to be awesome!

And you wanna talk about Tiger Woods create a player, in the PC version, you can put your actual face in the game.
