To me 2k was trash before 2k10.
Nba live had the best shot-releases, best blocking mechanics, best dribble stick ever, centers would not catch up to you if you were fast, you could actually drive past your opponent for easy dunks.
Man shyt was on point. They added signature move buttons that were classic, like the tim duncan running hook which i used to destroy people with. They added Live DNA which updated player attributes on a game to game basis.
2k shot meter was horrible early on too.
I still remember how choppy the players moved, you would get close to a defender and he'd get stuck on you like a magnet
Also on defense you just had to wait til your opponent began his shot animation and tap jump and could get a block 60-70% of the time
Live used to be the greatest, but 2k took over for sure and i dont see them letting up. Quit being stanboys and being biased.
