Fun but mostly annoying

Overall the game is ok. But I haven't played Live yet. 1st the positives.
Many options when editing/creating a player. everything from style of play to shot style, no shortage of customizations. some nice dunking, decent commentary, solid graphics, good amount of game modes, pretty easy and fun dunk contest.
Now for the Negatives. Navigating the menu is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. you have to hold the analog then press x, and its mildly easy to forget and press x accidentally and have to go back. very pointless. Alot of ratings problems. boring crowd, Player progression in Association mode is horrible, I had David Lee lead the league in Boards and average 18 points a game and he stayed at a 77 or whatever he was, very disappointing. Calling plays take WAY to long and require too much effort. you have to keep your player EXACTLY on the little circle or the play may not start, and the plays take too long to run, so when they do start you will be in danger of a shot clock violation. To easy to drive the lane, not much strategy involved, wish they played better D.
Although it's VERY easy to get your man in the low post, the game Lacks Quality low post moves. Lebron gets tired fast,lol. The 3 point contest is IMPOSSIBLE and therefore no fun. I wish they had the Dunk/3 point contest during the all-star break at an actual arena, instead of the basketball court from "White Men Can't Jump" No way to auto train you players during the season. if you like to simulate half/full seasons watch your players develop and work the off-season it is hard because you have to set weekly practice schedules, and monthly player development drills. so really you can only simulate week to week. I just want to simulate this year with the knicks get Lebron and play next year! That's another thing. The Notorious "summer of 2010" is VERY DISAPPOINTING. None of the top FA's test the market. Lebron, Wade, bosh, stoudemire, pierce, allen, chandler all of them resign. No Fun.
I'm about to try Live
