Some observations:
It's gonna take awhile for me to get the hang of the slam dunk.
There is a Euro all Star team and an International all star team.
The MPLS Jerseys are here.
The Magic have all of their jerseys in the game.
On Rookie mode, the three point shootout is automatic. I had Pat Garrity pop in 30 in all three rounds.
The best angle is the press, which is exactly like NBA Live 96 angle. The other angles are too awkward.
Editing a player takes awhile, since you have to save the player, and it takes you back out to the menu. You cannot edit one player, save, then scroll through all the other players on the team.
The shotblocks are so damn cheap. Especially if the comp blocks your shot, the player stands there like a moron, while the CPU runs the break. You cannot even switch to any player, it kind of like freezes. So damn annoying.
Jumpshots are sweet, they brought back the feel of the "J" from Live 95--98. No more metallic sounding jumpshots.
The Lakers numbers would need to be edited, since Odom and Brian Cook have the same numbers, and Atkins and Bryon Russell have same no's. as well.
Notable FAs: Cheap Ring Malone, Ho Grant, Dermarr Johnson, Mengke Bateer, Jake Tsakalidis, Robert Pack, Britton Johnsen.
The rookie game is fun to play, it has the feel of Live 2004.
The graphics are improved, but since the best angle is the Live 96 Press angle, it's hard to make out everything.
They edited the TD Waterhouse Centre, instead of "Defence" it now spells it the right way "Defense."
It is impossible to do the Fisher in this game, as a matter of fact even with .9 it is hard to get a shot off, because of the animations.
I cannot find the 1984 Air Jordans, maybe they are hidden?
Anyway, that's all I can think of for now. Gotta rest.
