Finally got to play the PS3 demo.. Great demo, saved me $60. The demo gave me the reassurance I needed. I haven't purchased the game, and don't plan to thanks to the demo. It looks and plays like NBA2k9. The player movement is sluggish and unresponsive etc.. Looks like no b-ball for me this year. Live sure as hell isn't getting my money.
Sports games (with the exception of MLB: The Show) have been a letdown this gen. I don't play NHL, soccer or Tiger Woods (though I like Hot Shots) I've decided to stay on the sidelines for the rest of the current gen with basketball and football games. I'm trough throwing away money. I'll sit out well into next gen if I have to. The engines they build these games on are fundamentally flawed. Hopefully by next gen EA and 2K get their acts together.
