New Informations of Live 2004

I saw the gameplay video of NBA Live 2004(PS2 version) at www.gamemeca.com(Korean site). I've downloaded the video file from there but I can't share it, because of its size(454 MB ).

The video has shown some 1 on 1(Vince vs. LeBron) gameplay and a match between the Dallas(Ranked 4th) and the Nets(Ranked 5th).

Most of the animations were smooth.
I saw some new jumpshot animations.
One-handed, quick-released(?), and some tough jumpshot animations.
The revamped block animations were good and it was somewhat... realistic.
I saw some interception plays being made during passing the ball around, but not often. Steals occurred when bad passes were made.
There was also some pass misses that went out of bounds. The players missed some shots in traffic too.
In the video, it was a 5 Minutes quarter game.
And the 2nd Quarter Break results was 20(Dallas) - 10(Nets). It displayed each team's score, rebound and assist leaders.
The game's speed & tempo was really toned down but still a bit fast for my taste. Just a little...
I couldn't see any Slider Menu in the video clip, but I guess it's in the Options Menu.

There are some bad news. Some critical flaws.
Player's Body Collision ??? I often saw players running through other player's body!!!!!
According to the video that I've seen, players occasionally ran through others and even sometimes their bodies overlapped each other.
I really hope EA fixes this problem before release.

Now I'll give you some informations about the menu.

Thanks man i'm downloading right now 2 hrs left lol

btw from the info youve provided it seems we will be able to make our own league records and retire our own jerseys on the game

Wow, thanks a lot, steve. You're the man!

Wow the jump shot animations are the sh*t:D especially the fade away animation. Bad news is they still have that booming sound when a dunk is made. But other wise the game looks great.

the video was too good. 18 minutes thats a lot of nba live

thanks man. i love you soooooooo much live is great

I don't get how to view it....I went the link u provided, I saw it but I couldn't play the video, do I have to log in.... if so, where? can u guide me through it plz..

can someone who has downloaded it put it on kazaa or something for us please?

no not kazaa, can u just post the downloading of it on here?

I have Kazaa installed.
My Kazaa's Username is 'madtomato'.
The video file is shared now and the file name is 'nba2004high'.
This is my first time using Kazaa.
So if there is something wrong, just let me know.

I just searched it--no results

you could stream the video if you do not want to download it

how do i download it off of the site on to my hd?

OK CAN U HELP ME!

Ok I went to the link

than I did 256K, than it brought me to a log in page(i think)
than I logged on with yours
than it brought me to another page kinda like the log in page but it had one box than a box under than than a box beside thatone with a - inbetween. than 2 opitions one takes it back to main page and the other I suspect is to contiune, so what do I fill in here.

I think u did it wrong. I think u shoulda pressed the other button or something. A screen will come up with the login name in bold. Then underneath will be three big ok signs with somethin in korean on them. Select the top one.(i think it says 10% then something) Then exit out of the popup.

ok I doing that now... it didn't work... that was stupid, ok I did the OK button, but than it brought me to this payment screen... so like u said exit the popup and I did and ya all it did was close the popup nothing else happened....

ok so I got logged in and I c what u mean now, ok I went back to the main link that u gave us with the video and i went to 56K and it kinda refreshed but wit the play button optional, but when i click it nothing plays, do I have to wait 4 it to download? ok, I got it now it showed a bit of it but it was slow, so I guess it just downloading I will watch it in about 3 minutes so it goes smoothly...

Probably. I use cable modem but i also use mozilla so i'm outa luck. Maybe you should refresh the page.

Saw the video. I'm quite impressed. I think (hope) the collision problem will be solved in the final version. The gameplay looks much slower and more realistic but I think it's still too easy to drive to the basket. Hopefully that will be better with the collision problem fixed.

It seems they added some nice extras this year.

Again, great post, steve! The world would be a much better place with more people like you.
