My Live 2004 first impressions

[trey1343]

Just got it for my cube, living in Oz its hard to get gamecube stuff..so thats why its a little "late"

here's a few observations, maybe people will agree with me, or suggest a way to improve it..

In playbook, I specifically say "no" to double teaming individual players, yet that stupid (I have a gripe with it) double team animation always kicks in, could it possibly be that when a player subs off, and comes back in again, I have to go say no again?

The double team animation is my major concern, too often I throw it to timmy in the post, I hold waiting for the double team, the animation starts, the ball gets knocked loose, my guys stand around looking at it, while the cpu makes tredemendous dives. I hope its just my noobness!

The game runs very fast, replays occur in a sec, and are over just as fast, FT's, out of bounds etc etc are BAM! you're doing it, there needed to be a split second delay or something, so I can breathe a little. This point leads to my second gripe..

I got called for defensive 3 seconds, despite the fact Nesterovic was standing right next to Ostertag in the key. I thought...ok fair enough, a little bit of BS, Harping makes the FT, the Jazz inbound STRAIGHT AWAY, even before ANY of the players are in the half court...only Harpring under the ring, so 1 point turns to 3 (Ive turned defensive 3 secs off now) it happens often, players seem to not "hustle back" is there a way to fix this?

Also, Im able to sitck with a team for the first quarter (12 mins superstar) and the scores are realistic, 2nd quarter I get owned, BAD! Fastbreaks galore. Could it possibly be that the cpu gets used to my offensive sets/defensive sets (I play half court man to man, generally run a post up offense) and that I should mix it up? would that help?

thanks!
