:First time i see this issue… i wish I had seen it before. We’ll look into this for 10. Our apologies to you all Hawks fans.

I have also been meaning to inform you of the slight change in the Washington Wizards uniforms side paneling particularly on the shorts. The curve in the shorts trims is straighter and less distinct and on the away shorts the there is a black trim outside the soft gold trim.

here are some images.

Posted an hour or 2 after that response of when did the change occur:

Ok, done some investigation about the Atlanta collars and the Washington shorts...
For Atlanta, the reference we received was inacurate, so we'll ask for a revised version for 10
For Washington, our gold is a little too yellowish... we do have a pretty accurate shorts panel, but it gets distorted as the player moves, which is difficult to avoid.
We'll look into both issues after the post LIVE break

The functionality is much better now... you just hold 'B' at any time to bring a double team. When you let go of B, the player will go back to his original man.

He has a beard... not as thick as he currently has it, but it is there.

We have added a halftime highlight reel (similar to the end of game one from last year), but beyond that chose to focus on other areas.

We try to keep our dunk packages as authentic as possible... so while there are a handful of over the top showtime dunks, we reserve them for the high flyers and only allow them in the appropriate context. As far as a number, I think we're somewhere in the 200's currently.

nice info, if you find more keep it coming. It's good to hear about the "little things"

[huddy187]

In terms of hot spots, yes they will change over time, not not that specifically. If a player gets better at shooting over the course of the year, we will bump up his hot spots to reflect that. However, hot spots are tracked per game in the same way that DNA and tendencies are.

Good eye on that bug. We have fixed this almost 100%. Sometimes for a fraction of a second you can see it, but for the most part you shouldn't notice this.

Not sure about the difficulty level in the vids. Defense has been increased substantially this year.

they fixed the half naked bug on the ign video

I have witnessed some facials yes.

they are in the game

I'm still getting used to that defensive system. I'm still not quite sure how much I'll enjoy it, but it is a very active system, so you'll always need to be paying attention, which is a good thing. I didn't find it to be too easy to steal like last year, and it seems like you'll get more reach-in fouls now.

I saw some nice lay-up animations yea. I think the most exciting moments were when I was the Clippers. One time Kaman came across the lane and swatted Durant's shot out of bounds. Then another time I controlled Camby from halfcourt, and basically I just watched the ball handler as he came down the wing on a fastbreak play. Waited for the right time and got back in time to just swat the ball clean. So both those felt good.

We do have a win the championship cut scene on the court however.

"I also posted this on EA forums but no answer so here you go...

1. Will we see players getting dunked on...Because last year when you are going to get dunk on the defender just slide away and back up...Will we see people getting dunked on like in 2K...Here is a video of Lebron Dunking on people like Tim Duncan and Kobe killing it...Will we see animations and dunks like this or is this not in this years game..."

Beluba: True multi-player dunk collision scenarios didn't make it into this year's game but you will see guys getting banged on from time to time. So my answer is, yes, you will be able to re-create some of these moments in Live '09 but we do have plans to further enhance our collisions sytems going forward to get even more incredible dunk on situations.
