Looks a lot smoother in deed. The game really looks like it has more flow than the previous versions. Hoping the passing is significantly better, and from the previews so far it seems it has, because in Live 08, the passing was very non-responsive. I also hope than when a team or player is on a fast break, they actually run like they're on a fast break. In Live 08, it seemed like such a struggle in the open floor to get to the basket. Two good basketball games would do my heart great joy.

Like the new animations, especially the off balance ones. I'd like to see a high quality version though.

I'd rather see somebody that actually plays a ball game like an organized game of basketball instead of trying to run up the middle like a running back.

I'm a bit disappointed, don't get me wrong. I love the new animations and it looks much smoother than Live 08; however, the speed is still WAY TOO FAST (sliders may fix it) and the crossover looks like it may be too effective.

Hopefully this is an earlier build and Live has toned down the speed and fixed a few of these issues before launch. (crossovers, passes hovering/threading needles, etc...)

A few things that stuck out: Ginobili pass to Parker in the lane looked terrible. Igoudala reverse dunk was unrealistic. Bargnani was moving at light speed.

WOW at some of these animations though.

I think the speed is amped up due to the players playing as well, holding turbo the whole time, etc...

Game looks much better than 08.

However, the net animations are still horrible though.
