I picked my PS2 copy up from morley in wa today around lunchtime.

Come on! Lets go allrdy1@?!!!!

I went to EB early yesterday and they said it was coming out later in the day. So I pre-ordered it yesterday morning and picked up my copy at about 2 PM yesterday. I love the game!
The defense in it is first rate. I'm still not very good yet. But hey that is what you get for playing on superstar right from the start!

You have to play defense in this game, or you will get blown out. That's not a problem though, since playing defense in Live 2004 is much easier. Raising your hands and jumping to block a shot will throw a defender off, and if you make an effort to play D, the game won't just be a shootout.

Me and my cousin went to EB at Wetherill Park, they didn't have it.

Then we went to Liverpool EB, they didn't have it.

Off to Blacktown and Mt Druitt EB, didn't have it too.

Then as a last resort, went to Castle Hill... and DANG nabbit we got it!!

Too bad he had to go home, but hopefully I can drop by his place tomorrow and give it a go. I'm excited already....

I think 2004 is too similar to 2K3 (AI on cover) which I loathed. Damn these weird ratings too. If you're bloke is wide open, but average on the three ball - your shot won't even go anywhere near in!

Disgruntled =(

but thats better then them hitting it 90% of the time. Moral of the story is dont shoot threes with avg guys!

Im guessing everyone has the PS2 version...not the others?

I've got the PS2 version, but when I went to pick it up I asked about the Xbox version, and it's out now. If your local stores don't have it, they've either sold out or are slow getting it.

Can i ask how much u guys got your copies for?

Ive seen it for $98 in Melbourne. I wanna get it for my ps2 but im holding out for the PC version. hehehe

Andrew, when are you gonna get the PC-version?

$99.95

Around the same time it's released in the US, probably.

Really? I thought you were getting it little earlier than rest of us.

i hate being a cube owner sometimes, live still aint released on it, its out for everything else tho! (apart from pc of course!)

I'm not sure about the PC version being released here November 11th. I'm guessing it will be out here closer to December.

Andrew, earlier you mentioned that you have to make an effort to play D, what does playing D involve exactly?

The Double Team is a Great way to get some points...and it is very very Easy to Block man....Yao Ming is JESUS in this game when he blocks...No HOMERUN HITERS Aka BLOCKS like in Live 2003!

Andrew, earlier you mentioned that you have to make an effort to play D, what does playing D involve exactly?

Raising your hands or jumping to block a shot when it's put up. Players shoot a fairly realistic percentage, but they will torch you if you are lazy on D. Raising your arms and jumping to block or at least force your opponent to alter his shot (another great feature ) is an effective way of preventing easy baskets.

That's what I was waiting for! That's much more realistic. Defense isn't just about steals and blocks anymore. I can't wait till the PC version.

You do not need XBOX live to get it going either!! We will get it going over XBLink!

wats XBLink cause i dont have broadband(getting...)so cant get xbox live but wats XBLink????

Xblink, is basically, a tunnel program for the xbox, what it does, is trick the xbox into thinking there are other xbox's connected over system link. But you actually connected to the internet. Basically, it's a free online system, which works great for chipped consoles.

I know the main reason, I bought my Xbox was to watch movies (DivX/Xvid, real media) on it. It has a chip, which is why I was able to import a copy of nba live from the states. But any Xbox that has a chip, will be disabled from live, so that leaves XBlink as the only other alternative.

And in the case of NBA Live 2004, since there is no live implementaion, it's the only possible method of getting the game going online.

I tried to explain it, as well and simple as i could... you can find out lots more at http://www.xboxlink.co.uk

More so, I'm fairly advanced when it comes to networking, so if anyone has any questions or anyting, just holla me...

Oh yer, I should say, im still waiting for anyone to ask for a game!!!!

PLEASE ANYONE!?#!? I can't wait to show you, what my C-Unit can do!!!

This is my story, i went into Harvey Norman today where i have a pre-ordered PC version. I was gonna cancel it for a PS2 version cause i am sick of waiting. but the guy there looked it up for me and said the PC version is comin out on the 11th (tuesday).

He rang up the suppliers but they weren't open (I think this was because they are in a different state> time difference). So he gave me there website http://www.powergames.com.au. I went home and checked the release date, it was the 11th. But i doubt this will be right anyway, since they are always late. so i went down and got the PS2 version. I think ill be gettin '04-PC around christmas.
