NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Shooting 3s with Derek Fisher (and every other rainbow shooter guy) is a experience on its own...my god! The game is so much fluid than everything we've seen before.

Your right Dante, I love shooting with Lebron in the hangar as he has a high arch as well. And the net animations are sick to me.

This is what I love about the iso game... every single time a mismatch pops up your eyes light up because the individual player momentums matter

I've had them switch Fish on me as Vince in a scramble a couple of times and I also called for the iso and did him pretty bad... this is crazy

Your right 23, that's what I like about it, it's like your actually TRYING to setup for a mismatch and find one. It's a thing of beauty. The CPU doesn't magically try to make the defender keep you in front due to the difficulty either. It is what it is, just that...a mismatch, and it'll be one every time down the court just like in real life if the situation is setup that way. If Nash switches and gets caught. Strategy time!!!! Can't wait to see how user vs user games turn out. Having a blast against the CPU though.

Kobe is guarded by Vince. Size-up, drive right and get VC backpedaling, stop on a dime at the elbow and pull up for the mid-range J.

He couldn't do a thing. I love this game haha.

What videos?

Maybe because he was being left open by the user. I will have to play and see for myself as I have yet to play the CPU controlled Lakers.

Do you not have access to the demo yourself?

no, i'm on PS3 ... fisher is just taking the initiative, feels like Kobe is a role player. reminds me of single player NBA 2K.

Don't know if it's been talked about already, but Brandon Roy's shot is just, uhhm, aaahham, <Jim Carrey> B-E-A-U-TIFUL </Jim Carrey>.

Just beat the Lakers 27-11 on All Star...I think it may be time to move up a level!

Shard is jesus in this game, much like he was in 2k9. Hits damn near every shot and can throw it down like Jamario Moon. I don't mind him draining spot up jumpers but he's far too effective off the dribble.

I'm seeing a lot of good things here. It's easily the best Live since 05 and can stand up to the competition this year. The animations around the basket leave a lot to be desired though, I'm hoping they're a little more cleaned up in the final build. There's some really odd looking layups from under the basket.

This is definitely the case a lot the time. Fisher will launch shots left and right, contested or not. Meanwhile Kobe just kinda sits back and watches. It could all be due to the short quarters though.

On a side not, I'm seeing a lot of circus shots being put up when there's contact being made in the paint. On a couple occasions I'd be backing down with Pau and as soon as I get in the air and draw some contact he does a sort of reverse layup instead of keeping it simple. It doesn't happen ALL the time but it definitely occurs more times then it should.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Derick Fisher shoots a lot whenever he's wide open just like in real life. I dont see anything wrong with this. Whenever I cover him, he usually gives it to Kobe so it's all good.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

I hope the A.I gets patched by the time the game is released... Bynum and Artest doing fade away 3pt shots with plenty of time in the shotclock with the A.I being on Superstar difficulty is insulting

Man, you guys are seriously making me jealous. I'm tempted to go buy a Xbox 360 just to play this game.. I'm starting to notice people who were complaining earlier are now getting used to the controls and realizing the rebounding and controls are very complex.

It is definitely a learning curve but if you played Live 09 enough you realize when you hunkered down and played defense you could come back from a deficit... its in the similar mindstate where you have to play good, and smart man and help D not trying to get steals, but staying in front of your man, staying between him and the basket, cutting off angles, switching at the right time, (you cant keep up with guys like Kobe for the most part though)

You have to know who you're guarding and playing against. Artest on offense is not more effective in driving but he does get that shot where he goes down the middle from baseline and hop steps a shot. I've seen him do that IRL especially when he played for the Kings, and he can get it on you in this game but its not often. He likes to hang at the 45 degree which is where he's most effective shooting the 3.

I think you'll enjoy yourself much Hoosier

Tell me about it. F'n Derek Fisher blocked my man from behind on a fast break play as I went up for the dunk. I'm noticing a lot of blocked dunks with no fouls called and it's driving me crazy.

[Dantecamp21]

Awkward block shots are definitively happening a atd too much, but at the other side of the coin (as its being the case with rebounding) I disagree with people saying it's a weak aspect of the gameplay.

I've been consistently defending the paint with D-12, blocking shots in realistic fashion and altering many others making the cpu adjust their game.

I mean, you can make the defensive presence of a beast like Howard felt when playing the game (it helps that his block rating is 99 as well lol). That brings great balance to the experience since you can use a offensive challenged superstar like Howard to control the game in a different fashion.

Also, the animation where you go for a block shot when the ball is almost at its apex (way after the shooter releases it) is pure bliss. Very reminiscent of Patrick Ewing in his Final Four against the Cougars.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

One thing that's bugging me a lot is the lack of "contact" animations when a player drives the lane...

I've seen TWO in about four games.

I'm playing on Superstar and there are a TON of contact animations and players hitting the floor.

Is it me or does anyone agree that Superstar seems to have more balanced play?...I thought I would get blown out on Superstar but after several games I'm more competitive on Superstar than I am on All-Star. Superstar IMO has better overall defense
