does anyone know what the quick iso play for both the magic and lakers? I want to be able to back down carter or kobe and take a sick fadeaway on a clear out.

Since you didnt like the demo now we shouldht hear a word from you. looks like everyting being a "chore" means its not pick up and play great like the competition. Learning curve to much for you

lets not get into a flamefest guys. Each user is entitled to their opinion as to the legitimacy of the chore-ness of the game.

In my first couple of games I was having trouble shooting a mid range because I would end up driving as well. However, I have been able to pop anytime I wanted.

It is a HUGE learning curve - especially if you are used to the other brand of NBA video games.

don't want to keep posting guys so just one last thing.. Think scalpel instead of broad sword... When you have a lot of control sometimes it takes awhile before you understand how to use everything.

So go basic... just play good fundamental basketball until you get to the point where you "need" to do more then work on that particular control.

There is def a learning curve but finally live does not give you everything on first play. meaning the more you play of course the more nagging things you will see. but you will also see more from the cpu AI. Live 10 unfolds so don't expect to be hit in the mouth but rather look forward to a 15 round brawl...

guys that have the demo know like i said its not perfect but it does do some great basketball things.

Have fun !! its very different than playing any of the other games available and as such it will take some time to adjust.

If my memory serves me correctly the final played smoother to me than the demo I'm playing now... I could be wrong but i really believe it did. of course could have been the teams/players i was using...

The dunks and layups are so smooth, the way the ball interacts with the rim and nets is great.

No clunky sounds when the ball hits the rim. the spin moves and baseline drive are awesome.

Wow, I think some of you are praising it a bit too much. By reading the comments you would think its the best bball game ever.

I downloaded it and played three games and also spent some time in the hangar. Overall EA really improved and finally delivered a playable bball game. The Crow Atmosphere is definitely one of the best i've seen. The graphics are pretty good but visuals has never really been a problem. I think the graphics are much improved. One thing that still annoys me is that the player movement still looks a bit robotic. I still get that cartoonish feel from the game, it doesn't seem fluid to me. I owned both live and 2k last year and leaned towards 2k. I think most live fans will be satisfied this year and wont revert to buying 2k on top of live but i also dont think live is good enough to make a 2k player switch over to live. Some of you are comparing the live demo to the combine and thats pretty much unfair since the combine isn't exactly a demo of the final product or in game action. Overall i would predict that instead of getting 6 out of 10 or 6.5 out of 10 in reviews this year, i would assume live will get 7.5 - 8.0 out of 10 ratings but i think next year, live really needs to develop new player models.

Man, I'm loving this. mad can't get a full game in lol.

Bynum just got an illegal screen on me, thought that was pretty cool.

Like how you can take the crowd right out of the game.

Also, Shard is nice on here.

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

Da Czar was right... Live IS back!

Impressions... I think they just set a new standard in bball gaming.

So smooth, such control.

My first wow moment was and Kobe/Pau screen... finished off with "a gorgeous move... by Kobe Bryant."

...and when Marv says "a gorgeous move" he's tellin' the truth.

...and to think the demo isn't even the finished product.

I an unashamedly in love with this game...

Ahh... Ladies and gentlemen! I think LIVE is back.

I got up an hour early so I could at least DL the demo. While I got dressed for work I started reading impressions on my iPhone. I started getting so overly excited that I had to call in and say I was going to be an hour late.

Anyway, The graphics are amazing. The player faces are spot on and the into the hanger was great. Seeing LJames, arms raised high like "I'm hear" let's get it started is great.

Getting used to all the players in there can take up most of your time. There is a learning curve to this years game. It's not 09 by any means. Which is a good thing and bad thing.

It's only a bad thing because I'm so used to playing Live 09 and the controls and player movement is very different. But, different in a good more realistic way. Shooting is amazing. Being able to hold and then release or a quick pop is really done well.

Driving hard to the paint and pulling up felt so natural it was very impressive. I've seen a couple post were guys are having a hard time pulling up in the paint without doing a lay up. I haven't had any issues with it, just let off the L stick before pushing the X button to shoot. It works for me.

The difference between each player is so amazingly done it's sick. LJames feels more heavy and his moves are more drawn out. Whereas Kobe is quick and silkly smooth.

I haven't gotten out of the hanger to actually play a game so I can't comment on that. I had to go into work and forgot to pick up dry cleaning so I've ruined part of my day to play a demo of a video game.

You wouldn't tell that I'm 34 and getting ready to be married can you? Haha... I love being a grown up...:wink:

Man, this demo is off the hook. I am just having so much fun in the Hangar. Then, when I get to the real game.... it BLOWS me away. Wow, this is definitely looking waaayy better than the previous versions, and it plays so "smooth".

Also, I don't know about y'all but... I'm lovin' that organ. I visited the Staples center for the first time back in April and hearing that was so reminiscent. Sounds so authentic and sweet and I'm not even a Laker fan lol.

It is the finished product, all demos usually are the finished product minus a few tweaks, sorry had to comment on this, people make the same comment every year.

I dont know about them setting a new standard though, i think they definitely set a new standard in Nba live next gen bball but not bball gaming in general. I already put in my preorder for nba 2k but i might purchase live also, i'll probably rent it before i buy it just to be sure.

I agree on the organ, i think its definitely something most bball games lack. Its such a small thing but it brings autenticity. I just wish Marv was better in his announcing delivery.
