NBA Live 10 Preview (1up)

[hdaniel1]

1up has posted their preview of NBA Live 10.

"Post moves felt better as well; I had more control over the men in the paint. Getting into position for tip-ins, rebounds, and put-backs felt much easier than before -- even the Magic's Dwight Howard, who's still developing all-star post moves, performed better than I expected him to."

Terrible preview...the didn't know what he was doing playing a NBA game...

"the guy who wrote it" I meant...

"The Wildcat was the breakout play of the 2008 NFL season. If the most recent preview build of NBA Live 10 is any indication, the alley-oop could be the Wildcat of the 2009-10 NFL season.
The alley-oop is one of the easiest -- and smoothest -- plays to run in EA's upcoming NBA sim."

that might be one of the worst ways to start a preview if a game is trying to appeal to SIM players. No one wants a game where ally oops are easy or overused.

The guy writing this was not good. But the game at least isnt bad like the writer it appears. Big leap from last year. I'm so torn on which to get, ive gotten 2k the last 3-4 years. Right now i'm 60-40 in favor of Live.

No disrespect, but that preview didn't sound like it was coming from a basketball guy. Can't quite pinpoint why though...just felt a little bare bones.

I'll be sure not to take this guys word for anything he just wrote, that preview was horrible. He seems out of his realm talking about a basketball game.(Probably why he slipped the Football reference in the beginning)

This preview only helps to cement the belief that a lot of the mainstream gaming sites do not have sport gamers on their staff. Guys who review Gears of War 2 and Killzone use identical criteria to evaluate a sports game...

I guess most of you would only be satisfied if he said Live 10 was the best sports game ever.

C'mon guys, no one expected to hear: ok, Live is the greatest sports game ever! But at the same time, it's clear that the guy who wrote this preview didn't know what he was talking about...

We'd settle for him being qualified to make that statement.

Their issue is dude was grading the game on superficial things, overlooking a lot of the realism that most people on this board look for - and the developers apparently put a lot of work into. It would be like if you built a house yourself, with marble countertops, oak cabinets, outdoor patio, etc - and you showed it off to people and all they could say is "Nice paint"

Marcus, any chance of the demo droping earlier? Like after midnight?
