Got it about a month ago, just wanted to share my thoughts..

I finally got this for PC no more than a month ago (would have gotten it sooner, but I was very busy with school), and I have been REALLY impressed by the gameplay, especially with the AI's. I've been playing since Live 2003, and pretty much all of the complaints I've had about the gameplay in the last two versions have been eliminated. The computer actually PLAYS with a team's real styles, and their go-to players are the ones putting up the big numbers. A frustrating thing in past Lives for me was when a scrub PG would be the leading scorer, even though the team had a superstar because the computer would jack up threes all day with him.

The computer actually takes realistic shot attempts and so the gameplay in general resembles an actual NBA game (with sliders, of course). Granted, I still can't win a game on All-Star, but I've tweaked my sliders to the point where shooting %s are nearly identical for me and the computer and around 50%.

I'm also glad to see that the comeback code is gone (for me at least) and computer controlled teams no longer play zone by default. All in all, GREAT job by EA this year. Even with the new features, it is not the perfect NBA experience by a long shot, but with the dramatic changes MVP Baseball went under, I'm hoping Live makes a similiar transformation piece by piece each year.

Yeah. The good thing is that you can't predict their shooting pattern. The bad thing is that seem to do the jumpstop pretty often that ends up colliding with my center and getting the offensive fouls.

Weird...they maybe do this once every other game for me...but I play on superstar. What about you?

Same.
