Demo is at times choppy and will pause for a second.. anyone else notice this? Shot blocks need to be worked on. Rebounding has improved. Dribble and cross over animations are sick!

Inbound the ball to Howard under the basket and i bet you that the pass will connect no matter how many defenders are around him. Thats refreshing to you TheKasmer???

I haven't tried that. Doesn't sound to wise....a little to risky. I usually give it to my pont guard(Nelson)

I was mainly joking, but if you try to full court press all game and steal every inbound pass you'll be wasting your time. This game has a completely different concept to stealing as the devs have alluded to. Wow, the cheesers are already complaining.

Playing Defense is never cheese....lol I play man on man on ball defense all game im not one of those people that switch to a off ball offensive player away from the play, so when im in position to make a DEFENSIVE move i expect the out come to be realistic. I make people quit by playing N.B.A defense not video game defense. Live needs to step it up defensively !!!

The DEMO would have been more playable for me if it wasn't so jerky and have the skate boarding,skiing and warping. Some animations happen to fast during the transitions...like the behing the back ( not the canned one ) you dont see the ball go around the back, it just ends up in the other hand.

man this guy is getting ridiculous, and its cracking me up

You can steal passes man you just have to cheat in the passing lanes to do it.

Ive tipped a lot of passes and intercepted a couple too by doing this.

Its much harder to do it in Live then any other bball game tho

It should be as easy as the iso dribbling moves Live loves advertising!

They're just trolls. Ignore them.

I bought 2K the past three years, and I know no real hoop fan can deny the fire that Live has brought this year.

OK, I will. It's undeniable that Live has improved. That being said, it's nowhere near 2K. Not even close. Honestly, comparing NBA Live to 2K is like comparing NBA Jam to <insert any sim here>. The NBA Live gameplay feels just as problematic to me as it in NBA Live 08. There's lots of sliding. The gameplay switches from being really fast to really slow - totally unrealistically. The ball/rim physics are atrocious. I think the only thing Live has over 2K right now is the ball handling system.

Pressing the X button isn't a guaranteed steal anymore. The real tests comes when people play online. Hopefully your defense makes them quit.

Is everyone crazy or is it just me. This demo is terrible. Graphics are very cartoonish, AI is horrible, and every shot seems like it falls. Even ridiculous fade away threes consistently. This game is great for arcade style player and terrible for real sim ballers. The AI defender doesn't respond to dribble moves. They let rebounds that are not immediately in range bounce right by them. Once a live fan, maybe never again I don't know what to say.....Amazing

I don't know, man. I guess I'm not playing the same game as most others here. I try to run the basline and end up outta bounds, with being controlled by the engine. Player Lock is broken. I try to do a simple pull up J, and Bryant takes a couple more steps before shooting. And, yes, I can hit every shot, no matter what, and even on All-Star. Some people get too much "credit" here, and sometimes are just as guilty of having positive knee-jerk reactions as anyone else.

Why should it be as easy as the dribble moves I personally like the difficulty.

Makes you think about attempting a steal instead of just being able to attempt steals without a conscious.

Which is case in most bball games, its a refreshing change to me.

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

My take on the demo. I think that the amount of control over my player is crazy. I love being on a fast break and splitting defenders with a pro-hop then lay-up or with a euro two-step. I like that whole jumpshot timing thing, I was able to pull of some nice buzzer beaters with the quicker releases. The freestyle passing is great in my opinion. Driving and the kicking out with V.C is great and I got a lot of open looks with Pietrus, but thankfully they all didn't go in so it seems the shooting sliders are on point for now. The only thing that I didn't really like was the rebounding. Sometimes it just happens so fast and sometimes the players seem to reach for nothing. Another thing is, when there is a tipped pass sometimes the players will just stand around and look at it go out of bounds. This happened only once is the last 3 games I played so it doesn't look like it will be a huge problem. Haven't really gotten into the post up game yet, but I will try that out soon. Graphics are amazing and I dont they are cartoony at all. Crowd reactions are good also, but haven't had a stand out moment with their reactions or chants. So overall I'm impressed with this demo a lot. I think NBA Live will have a great comeback year this year and it should be a competitive year between Live and 2K. I'll be buying this game on day one.

To all the people that like to say there is a lot of sliding and morphing in this game I bet you its in 2k
