Don't know if this has been noticed and addressed, but at times they would chant "DEFENSE" when the Lakers had the ball.

And can you take out the "DEFENSE" Chant from the CAVS Arena? Everything sounds so authentic in STAPLES in the game, but that "DEFENSE" chant ruins it.

(0:12 sec)

Overall, For a demo, 9/10.

Interesting to see that the Lakers and Magic just missed two shots in the whole quarter...
This is everything else than realistic ....

This.
When you hold Y your player should stay grounded regardless, and just get in the rebounding stance . Then when you let go of Y your player goes for the rebound.

do you see the drose animation when you time the steal?

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.

Completely agree. Best momentum based shooting I've seen in a video game. It could be better (I don't like the auto-step back. It's slow and predictable) but what is there, is really good.

fifa NHl and now madden have made the jump to next gen flawlessly so much so that we forget the last gen with the 09 10 versions of each. NBA live I feel hasn't fully yet even after saying last year that 10 would be the year for nba live.

I hear ya Tomba... Me, you, Playmakers... lots of old school Live guys that can recognize the game for what it is.

There are certainly some great play mechanics here... but to me it's just evident they ran out of time. Shame too, because I haven't even touched the game but all things you can still do with defense and the post... can't wait 'til next year.

Couple tidbits:

Man the dribbling is tight. By tight I mean hella tight. Maybe the tightest I've ever used. My biggest problem with it at first was 1. It being on the right stick, 2. Moves aren't relative to the basket. These are both control issues but I saw the potential as soon as I fired it up. Once I got used to those two aspects of the system I started pulling off some SICK stuff. The fact that I can pull of the same complex combination of moves every time I want to is great. Sizeup being on the right trigger also feels really nice. The dribbling combined with the RS passing is something special. Can't wait to run with CP3 and harness it's full potential.

Not a fan of the post game or the canned tipped rebounds, it just feels clunky to me. At first I was getting mad because I kept seeing the ball get tipped in the air and I felt I was in position to get it, then I realized whoever tipped it is ultimately going to come down with it. Also, Is there a way to face up without dribbling?

Wipes after dead balls. Just a real ticky-tack thing for me. Any chance we'll be able to get guys walking to their spots rather than being warped? The only time you should see a wipe is if your going to a replay.

No resets after offensive boards. I haven't seen one yet. The AI will ALWAYS go back up with the ball no matter what.

Overall the demo has definitely solidified some things for me, both good and bad. Mostly good though.

hey Mo...can you control which size up you pull out?

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

Not that I know of. You just hold the RT and get one.

Huh???? You talking about Live 10? Are you saying you haven't played the demo nor the retail game?

Ankle breakers are still in the game, just crossed Fisher up with Nelson and he fell back on his a** lol

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

Yeah I noticed that if you really jam the LS on defense and use RT as well you'll fall over on your own sometimes haha.. I was just running around like a nutjob with Fisher to see what would happen and he ended up falling when changing direction as the ball-handler drove (no dribble move or anything, just a drive since I was taking him out of position)... just tipped right over haha.

I also had a crazy shot with Kobe where he was fading to the side near the baseline and hit the ball off the top of the backboard.. it bounced slightly and then slowly rolled off and fell in (after catching rim).. pretty cool ball physics on that one.

I have a solution for ur, and everyone else's stealing problem. When ever u see the that the defender and ur player are about to go into a collision, pull back on the anolog and reset. Stop trying to force it in. It's common sense, this is what happens in real life. The reason why EA did this is obviously to minimize scoring in the paint and scoring in general. I actually feel like this is one of the best things EA added to this years game.

Sometimes i hate commenting on these threads b/c everytime someone says something another person always trying to say "you're playing wrong" or in this case "stop forcing it".

IM NOT FORCING ANYTHING!!!

All im talking about is a simple pass in the paint to dwight and then raising the ball above my head like shaq used to do to see if the double team is comming so i can kick it out to the open shooter or if the double isn't comming then i can put the ball on the floor and do some post moves to try to score.

Please read the post b4 you start bashing and telling me im doing things wrong.

I noticed that half/full court shots almost always hit rim or are in the vacinity of the hoop. I've never seen a player miss by more then 3 feet. Not a big deal, but I do wish there was a bit more randomness to it.

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

What he is saying is every single full court shot goes within a foot of the rim, even if it airballs.

Go to 3/4 court and throw up a buzzer beater. Watch as it ever so perfectly travels the length of the court to just barely miss the rim.

It looks silly.

Someone should post this in the patch request thread.
