I had Live and just got ESPN for Xmas. I like the game play of Live much better but I do like the online gaming in ESPN. Anyone else playing ESPN?

I'm playing both for my xbox. I like ESPN better--not as buggy, and the graphics are better.

I do admit I didn't like ESPN but I was unable to rent it for Xbox and only got to play it on PS2, but playing on Xbox is much better. I still don't like how easy it is to block everything.

The great thing about ESPN is how customizable it is. You can literally adjust the settings so that blocks are impossible.

Saw that just haven't had the time to change stuff yet still trying to figure out everything. I also hate how you do a crossover you get called for a charge. eeeerrrr!

Yeah I stopped doing the ISO motion moves all together because you'll get called for a charge 95% of the time. I have both ESPN & Live and I prefer ESPN 2K4. I also turned down the blocking because it was just ridiculous.

i have Espn on PS2. at first i didn't like the shooting mechanisms. It seemed very slow and the iso motion was almost usless. I've gotten used to it now and love it. When you press down on the iso motion stick you do a nice little step back cross over. I use that all the time. It looks realistic and is very useful.

The little thins bug me in ESPN like no playoff or finals markings on the court. Overall it's a pretty solid game.
