I got live 05 now (my thoughts)

Well I got it, and I must say it is a good game. I played some games and some dunk contests, and I must say it is a lot more enjoyable for me. My first game was Heat @ Lakers on starter, and it went to double overtime. :lol: Anyways, heres some things I already see in the 5on5 game.

-much harder to score in the post
-players push off their guy on the perimeter to try to get open
-ai uses more freestyle of course
-lots of cool post moves
-players that reach too much will get 'beat', where basically they miss the ball and the ball handler is clear for takeoff
-players that lose their dribble can get tied up by their defender, and lose the ball if they hold it too much
-free throws are different somehow... maybe it's because I haven't played in awhile...

Those are just some things, now back to my game. :D

P.S. One more thing. Adjusted shots are different. From my experience I make them more, and it's basically no more "instantly let go of the ball". I once went baseline with Kobe, took off for a dunk, adjusted my shot, and Kobe went under the basket and laid in a reverse. Very cool. :cool:

It's like some sort of delay or something.. like when I hit the shoot button the slider 'slides' to a stop, instead of stop instantly. I noticed it more w/ Jumaine Jones. :(

Yea thats it
I'm not just saying that to agree with you either
I actually notice it not stopping right on too :?
But sometimes I think it is going to slide again so i push it just a hair earlier and it stops dead on :x

Yeah I was kind of getting used to it, it definitely slides ALOT more with worse free throw shooters. I mean, I forget who, but when I hit the shoot button I swear the bar went a whole half width of the board farther...
