The momentum that ties in with the shot and the set up hop step people use. It's much better than running right, stopping on a dime, and shooting.

Totally agree. Before i played the demo, i kept reading the impression and people saying it was amazing or quotes like " Live is Back", so i came into the demo hyped for this game and to be honest i was dissapointed. I use to play Live constantly, i think it was Live 97' i played where they had rodman's hair changing, i mean i use to be a live fan boy but i feel that they have taken the route of Madden, in that they haven't innovated their game or completely fixed what is wrong. I still feel as if the players on the courts dont move as smooth and are more like robots. The player likeness just isn't there, everyone on the court seems to be thin and in perfect shape.

I think people bite into the hype so much every year with this franchise. I remember buying my xbox 360 and playing with Wade in the Hangar and seeing the close up when the sweat drips down and thinking "Oh s--t this game looks dope." But then you get on court and its garbage. EA needs to realize that they need to revamp the player models and turn down the cartoonish feel of this game.

Madden 09 was terrible because they assumed we should play the game the way they designed it. You couldn't change much of anything and the QB's were god awful without being able to enhance their skill.

Madden 09 had very good graphics but the reason why most people stopped playing it was because the game was a turnover fest and the so called built in AI enhancements didn't work.

This year Madden 10 plays solid out of the box but they realized they couldn't restrict the user from catering the game to his likings. Go over to the Madden boards you'll see there are so many more people enjoying the game again.

It has great graphics, awesome presentation, upgraded animations and the ability to once again create the game play you desire.

As for your comment about Live 10 I think the CPU in relation to moving on their own does look a little robotic but when the human player has control over the moves they animate and move pretty realistic to me. I guess the player models will always be a personel opinion. I don't particulary like NBA 2K's players models but they do animate the best I've ever seen.

What do you like so much about it?

You really don't like Live 10 at all do you? lol

I personally think it is, by far, the best Live ever. And in my opinion, a better looking and playing game than 2k9 in many aspects. Not saying it will beat 2k10 this year (which it probably wont), but it will hold its own.

I asked him what he liked about it. What does that have to do with MY opinion?

Jump shooting is by far the best aspect of the game (in my humble opinion I should add).

The fluidity of the animations and the mechanics of it are very fundamentally sound. Add to it the ability to be succefull by learning to release the ball at different times in different situations and you have a truly organic experience.

Every shot feels different.

What I'm saying is, "What's there not to like about the new shooting controls in Live?"
I guess I was out of line saying you don't like the game (even though I think you don't). But it seems that to ask a person what they like about these new innovated controls should be a no brainer and not need a detailed explanation. Its an almost flawless aspect of this game. You've got to give them that.

I disagree, but I don't feel like being verbally jumped, so I'm gonna pass on elaborating.

I have tested it and it primarilyworks on the wings all the way to just inside the 3 point line but center court not so much because the defenders don't play as closely as they do on the wings.

Thanks for that. Nice little demo.

I started messing around with changing the plays... Used Elbow Ice 4 with Kobe. Worked real nice for getting him into his classic elbow post game, with a nice isolation too.

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

Is there any way the user can shoot around alone in the hangar? Or at least make it so that the other players don't shoot around on their own?

Take the extra balls and shoot them at the other basket then come back until there's only 4. That kinda helps things. Dwight kept pulling the rim/board down messin up my shots.

Why dont you just take the extra Ballers on ur side of the court and take them to the other side and leave only wade.

They'll just come back to "their" side of the court once the CPU takes control of them again.

Learn to live in harmony with them. Relationships are give and take.

I hope we'll have the ability to set which players we want to be hanging around at The Hangar in the final version of the game.
