Hey guys,
finally found what must have been the only shop in Melbourne Australia that actually had delivery on the actual release date.
Got stuck into some 2 player action immediately which was great. Then once I felt that old NBA live familiarity I went straight into a Dynasty with the Kicks.
During my first game I felt a lot of frustration on both D and O. I was against the nets and Jason Kidd just burnt me everytime he had the ball, I had a lot of trouble defending him. On Offense he was like a glove...i couldnt not get past him with any ball handler.
by then end of the game I felt that it was probably the way I was playing the Nets that was frustrating me. I switched to a zone defence and made up some ground but still lost.
I played 2 more games and wond both.
I am probably not a real hard marker in terms on the in depth cut scenes etc etc. I enjoy them but dont pay much attention. In terms of gameplay i would say this is streets ahead of any other NBA Live release and the improvements overall are great! I love the game.
My one gripe and I am not sure if this is because of the players I am using is the If I see an open man on the break or running the lines I press pass and the reaction time is just a fraction too slow!!!
other than that i cant wait to get stuck into my franchise.
** I have never played online before and would love to join a league or something if anyone needs an extra**
Cheers
