The only issue he have is you get sucked in some animations, hopefully EA can clean that up. Overall im still impressed

Hmmm, i hope they improved fastbreak logic this yr.
In 07,it was usually center who was the first one on the break(and it was very abusable, quick outlet pass and wide open dunk).Seeing Big Z's fastbreak dunk in this video kinda worries me...

Thanks for the heads up.

Interestingly, if the opposing team passes the ball, Live 08 will automatically switch your player control to the player closest to the ball. Although there's no option to turn this feature off that we could find

WTF?!

they updated it, you can switch it off (its switched off by default)

Andrew already cleared it up, he said only if your holding the defensive assist button, then they switch you to the person with the ball

yo andrew how is the blocking
are they any block animations

[Andrew]

I saw a couple of nice blocks, notably one in a game I was playing against Rhude. Rhude was controlling Marbury and I was defending him with Chris Duhon. He broke my ankles and then attempted an eighteen footer, but Ben Wallace rotated over and send back the shot with a nice swat.
