damn! nothing negative about live 06 this year as always
i love the part where he says that the producer said that this can only get better!!!!

it's good to hear that LIVE 06 will have better camera angels, and new AI. Looks like there's gonna be a lot of improvements

Gameplay, Gameplay, Gameplay, everyone is really giving the game props, it's improved graphics is the theme right now though. Some are even saying it migth be the most impessive game at E3

Lets hope it becomes a Lebron James, rather than a Kwame Brown.

Looking promising so far

yeah! awesome cant wait no moe!

The more I read about it the more I can't wait. Thanks for the link kp4life, it's on the frontpage

In terms of hands-on time, the only thing we got to see was a revamped free-throw system that works a lot like the swing meter in the Tiger Woods golf series. You won't be pressing buttons to let loose your FTs now; instead, your stroke will depend on your deftness with the left analog stick. To begin your shot, you pull back on the stick and then, at the apex of your arch, push forward to release the ball. Obviously, good timing and a fluid motion will result in a sweet release but, based on our Shaq-like "oh-for" performance, we need some more practice at it.

Sounds like something we'll have to get used to. This is where a Free Throw Practice mode would come in handy. I'm a supporter of the old T-Meter system, but I'll have to wait until I play it to make an educated judgement whether this new system is any good or not. Right now, I'll call it "interesting".

At first I thought that was how we shoot jumpshots now.. guess not.

That screenshot on the site is very impressive, you can even seen the texture of the skin on his face. Nice work EA!

If they improve the blocking and stealing, have an energy bar for turbo and freestyle like in 2K, and make it harder to push the tempo in games I'll be happy with anything else they do.
