NBA Live 10: New Modes Revealed (IGN)

[brahmagoul]

I'm pretty optimistic about the NBA games this year because of Dynamic Season and NBA Today. Both could be pretty awesome and give, at least, me exactly what I've always wanted in a sports game, feature-wise.

Has Live added nuances like subbing in players waiting at the scorer's table? I asked this question in the Dynamic Season thread, but a moderator took it upon him or herself to lock it.

You have one post so I'm not really going to argue with you but

If you think either NBA game is better than the other than you're extremely biased. If you are to take the persepective of a game critic then you will see both have massive flaws, neither is really getting at where NBA games will/should be in the next 10 years and for now it's just adding on blinders to distract you from what NBA games should be. And in my opinion highly physics based like the upcoming sports game "backbreaker" is where they ought to be headed.

And Mike Wang came to EA because they have more potential with their technology to create the ultimate NBA game. 2K has no where to go as evidence by the incremental upgrade from 2k9-2k10.

I hate to post off topic but I had to address you in public that you're way off.

2k10 has issues, every game has issues, but i think Live surpasses 2k this year. everyone has opinions, but just dont always revert back to the history of Live and automatically think 2k will be better. i see some glaring issues in 2k10 based on what i saw in the vids, it just looks like the last 2 versions w/ a little flare added, and i honestly think Live will be right on par, if not better than 2k10 this year. no one will know until both games come out, but don't come in and tell me 2k is better than Live without it even being released yet. i like 2k, i have played 2k basketball since the first one ever came out, but im tired of people just blindly saying that 2k is far superior this year, just from a demo, i like Live better, but thats just me.

I'm sure a player could get hurt in a game, but it wouldn't be something where you'd know he's out for more than just that game. I don't think this will be a problem. Unless, of course, you're trying to cause a rift in the matrix and rewind to a game where a player gets hurt. lol. Seriously, though, in that case you know it would just affect that single game.

this is not even new....2k9 already had this last year lmao

and what i can say to this new live mode is that i'd rather be playing MY own created character from my player in 2k10 online with other people the same way like this, and still have the option to play the nba superstars just like this in NBA 2k10.. more options..more fun
