Exactly

Another question... I'm not sure what defines "sliding" but in the videos, there are a lot of times where it looks like they are "skating" and is "skating" the same idea of sliding? Because if it's not just me, there's a lot of sliding in the game, and Tim did say that sliding is completely eliminated...

Sliding is when they are going past half-court in a (kind of) post-up position. I saw a lot of it, like I said, especially when they were taking the ball past mid-court.

I prefer the Press camera myself. It's not quite in the same position as the Press cam in previous Lives (Live 96-2002) but it's still my favourite camera angle. As far as I'm aware (because I have tried the EA cam that follows the players up and down and rotates when the possession changes), there's always been that kind of rotation when possession changes. It's one of the reasons I prefer the classic TV-style camera angle.

I liked the baseline view that didnt switch after the rebound like one was regular and the other was just behind the backboard, did anybody else like that?

It would seem like whoever had to go the direction of towards the camera would be at a slight disadvantage. But I think EA should atleast give us an option of having this camera view.

I agree, disadvantage goes to the player who has to play towards the camera but they should include it anyway. Now here's the real question we are not addressing:
When is EA Canada going to allow us to set up a camera however we see fit by implementing the life-altering custom camera feature found in the Madden series? This would truly be a Godsend! Can I get a witness?

i don't think the person playing the game did a good job of showing off the gameplay.
agreed.. the person playing did not even show the mid-range game

Haha. I've played Madden and loved the custom camera feature. I never really put two and two together and realized that Live should have it too. NBA action requires a damn near perfect angle, and this feature would really help matters. Good idea
