I was just wondering if you guys were able to add more variety in Live10, in regards to how players position themselves in halfcourt sets before plays are called. And will these new formations be player/team specific? ie; Bonner, Sheed, etc. setting up behind the 3pt line even though they are considered Bigs. Pietrus, Bowen, setting up in the corners etc.... thanks

Yeah this is something i think you guys are really going to dig. Novell, one of our gameplay producers, will be blogging about this later on... but this is an area of the game that got a significant upgrade. We started by integrating the team tempo feature from ncaa and then built on top of that. If you're a big x's and o's guy, i think you'll appreciate the level of authenticity in the team specific offensive systems in Live 10.

Beluba/Steph,

Were you guys able to add saved replays/photos for online games this year ??

Last year we could only save replays/photos for offline games.

Thanks as always Beluba, I'm really looking forward to the blog that provides the specifics about this.

I think this could be the biggest improvement in the game if done right. All the DNA in the world can't help if all the teams run the same exact plays.

Beluba are you guys planning to add more camera view in live 09, there wasn't any camera views that i really liked and all the camera views besides broadcast were lame. Any chances of us seeing a replica of the 2k cam?

So, not sure if this has been asked already or not. But, what about the FIBA teams? Will we finally be able to put together rosters for these teams? It'd be cool if I could put my created player on the USA team or China or whatever nationality our created guys are. Or at least add FIBA to the dynasty mode so that we can see new faces on the team that way. At the very least I'd like to be able to at least edit the gear of the players on FIBA teams. Speaking of editing gear, I think in dynasty mode, you should be able to edit every player in the league whether they're on your team or not. It really sucks if the Rockets trade someone to the Bucks and you're stuck looking at the guy in black and red shoes with the Bucks green uniforms.

How are the celebrations after a buzzer beater or winning the championship? Not that big of a deal, but once you go through a long tough game or 82 game season a bad celebration makes u feel like it wasnt a big deal at all. it ends up not fulfilling. look at how intense the celtics celebration was after the 2008 finals.

And will the larry obrien trophy be on the court this year during the finals?
