Re: Live 10 = Live 9.1

Another thing guys -- you're seeing gameplay videos of NBA LIVE 10.

We've shown you them ourselves and you've seen these. Not trying to compare, start a war or anything like that, but when our competition does this, let me know. In my opinion, they'd be crazy to show 3 minutes of unedited game footage like we're going to do this week. Why? Because there is no doubt that you'll see alot of stuff you don't like. Why is that? That's video games folks. Halo's sword was so powerful, Grand Theft Auto IV sucked walking around / camera, Madden didn't have hand towels for quite a while, and NBA LIVE 10 doesn't have Kobe's Free Throw routine. LIVE 10 will not be perfect, a will have problems that you guys won't like. BUT - LIVE 10 is a very good basketball game that if given the chance, you'll discover the depth and fun that's in the game.

And then just think about the videos you all are seeing from Germany. They're not HD, they're being played by guys who have never played the game before, don't know the revamped controls. You combine these two, and the videos were setup to fail. This isn't a knock on the guys at all, but our game has a learning curve this year. Anyone can make this game look bad if you don't know what you're doing from the controls side. If you do something wrong in LIVE this year, it's your fault.



We showed you gameplay because that's the most important thing to you guys. We could've continued to put trailers together showcasing cool moments in the game, while focusing on one player or matchup and leaving out the off ball movement, etc for people to nitpick at. We didn't. We feel confident in our game enough to show you guys the full thing. We know you're not going to like everything, but we know the informed guys will notice huge differences from last year to this year.

Demo is coming shortly, let us know what all of you think then for sure!

A lot a lot of people appreciate what are you doing here and with the game Stephen (I've never seen so many Europeans on this forum before:wink. Others just sometimes speak before they think. Nobody with a dose of common sense should rate the game based on pics and videos.

Thanks once again for caring about an average fan.

Re: Live 10 = Live 9.1

Difficult to pass full court -- you'll throw it wildly alot if you do.

What about the defensive matchups Steph? Please tell me you guys fixed the coding on this so I can match up good defensive guys like Artest, Shane B. and etc on guy offensive players. I'm praying.

And does the good defenders stand out and actually make a difference this year. I think it was noticeable last year but hoping it's even better this year.

Re: My Gamescom Demo Video

You don't like the game, so be it..I could care less if you like this game or that game, but don't come here making stuff up like saying that the game is the same as last year..

there is a difference between having your own opinion and making stuff up and you saying the game is the same is MAKING STUFF UP

Where the hell did i make something up, What i said was watching the gameplay videos made me ask myself "if it was the same game with better models". I'm not forcing my opinion on you or anyone else, it's not your job to defend this game...it's the Devs, So unless your one of them, then i suggest you step to the side. LoL and of course opinions are thought of "Made UP"they dont just pop in your head out of nowhere.

Re: My Gamescom Demo Video

too much running back and forth, need to setup half court game to feel the simulation of it. holding turbo and passing every second is not real basketball

lol, you said you didn't even play earlier Live games, let alone Live 09. If you honestly can sit here and think that this game is the same, then I don't know what else to tell you. You not only haven't played last year's game, but you haven't even played Live 10 either. You can sit here with your preconceived opinions or just play the game for yourself when the demo comes out, although I already know you're one of those guys that won't like it no matter what, and look for things to justify your simple opinion.

@stephensonmc

People think that everything in live 10 gameplay and animation wise are totally new, Can you as a Dev say that you guy's didn't use or keep old animations from Live 09.

Whats your opinion about how Live 10 stacks up to what 2K10 is doing.

Watch him skip your post, like nothing happened.

Re: My Gamescom Demo Video

I just don't get what guys like him are trying to accomplish. OK, he doesn't like Live. Fine, stay on the 2k forums and stop trolling. He obviously has no intention of buying/playing the game, and if he even does give it a try, it's already clear he won't let himself like it. He won't change our opinions on the game either...so basically he's just trolling.

If you're going to make your decision before even giving it a fair chance, then so be it.

I hope this trolling guys are just small kids and that they will learn in time that more choices are good thing etc... If we get two great games so be it (I'll get both anyway) if we don't, at least one will be good. I don't care which one. But it really disturbing that they destroy almost every thread, and that they don't stop when people ask them to stop destroying.
As a buyer I want quality opinions and info, not some fortuneteller bull**** from kids that don't even try to play one or the other game before they start talking ****.

of course you can do defensive matchups man. Artest is one of the best defenders in our game. He's sick.

Mike will have to answer that for you. I have my thoughts, but he's the guy who would do your question justice.

As for my thoughts on us vs 2K? That's for you guys to decide. I'm extremely confident in our game, and what we're delivering this year from an overall package perspective. I think our game is night and day compared to what we have been doing and this won't be your "typical NBA LIVE" this year.

Re: My Gamescom Demo Video

One thing that definitely impresses me is the score at the end of the quarter.

In the 1st quarter (I'm assuming this is pro difficulty) the score was only 6-5 with some amazing defensive rotation sequences.

Considering these are 4 minute quarters, 12 minute quarters may actually bare realistic scores this year!
