NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Very good write up Steve.

Can't wait for this demo to drop.

I never use plays in 2K just because some are useless and they take forever to setup. But if I happen to buy live this year, I definitely will be using them.

Although I do wonder if we will get solid off ball movement without calling an offensive set or play.


Just like some of you have mentioned, not really feeling the fact that players "hustle" when they aren't really necessary. But, out of thirty games, it doesn't seem like it will be that big of a problem. Maybe it was due to the game being set on "NBA Finals" so maybe he saw a few more of them than would happen in a game of less importance. Too bad they don't have a slider to adjust "hustle plays" to one's liking.

OMG I'm in heaven:

"The left analog stick will have other applications when it comes to the shot; if you move it in any direction while in the act of a jump shot, you go for glass and the bank shot."

Time to use Tim Duncan

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

that's key

i'm hoping it plays like a real NBA game....steve nash facilitating the fast breaks, the warriors chucking up shots, the cavs running through lebron on every possession, the lakers using the high/low posts with Gasol or Kobe getting hot and dropping 50, the spurs/rockets feeding their big man down low, and Deron and Boozer doing pick and rolls with cuts to the basket, or have Okur pop out for the jumpshot

If this is true then this will be the first NBA game to simulate the NBA. What a way to start a new decade.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Sounds really good. Had enough of generic plays that appear in other games, so I like authentic team sets. Must have for me.

I also hope that there is off-ball movement if you do not want to call a play at the moment.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

I'm seeing the number of plays in the high 400s. Some are shared, but many are team specific (actually have the team name in the play). All are 100% authentic plays. We put a lot of work into this.

Wooow the demo couldn't come soon enough...thanks for the response

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Sounds good so far. Put me in the same boat of people who's skeptical about the 300+ plays for EACH team. Hell to be honest, unless one of us magically gets a coaching gig in the NBA, most of us aren't going to run each and every play for each team lol. I know the most i'll probably run about 15-25 plays max.

iminurbase just confirmed in another thread that there are plays "in the high 400's" and though some are shared, the majority are team-specific and have the team's name in the play so you can tell. No need for skepticism any more... they're doing it big this year.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Is this demo from an almost final build? Could you state a percentage of the build it was taken from?

What's the deadline for Live 10 to go gold?

just out of curiosity..

Great writeup.

The 392 plays is great! this way each game will be unique as well as per possession!

In 09 after playing for a while, i can predict the tendencies of the AI's plays. It's like playing the game over and over with no variations whatsoever after a while it gets boring.

here's hoping the AI will use the full plays specific to a team in game! That to me will make live much more exiting to play.

Just wondering though, I usually play a dynasty with fantasy draft.
How will these plays affect a team with completely different personnel? Like if I use the warriors but drafted let's say Duncan and a bunch of players who normally doesn't like to run.
Will they adjust to the team run and gun style or will they play more slowly because of their DNA?
