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

I just played and had one of the most fun and exciting basketball games I think I've ever had in my gaming experience. I'm an online guy and I think I'll be diving into some dynasty mode this year.

I wish I had a capture card to show some of the things I've been witnessing in this game. I mean this last game I played Kobe was just going off and this is the first time I've actually seen them go to him like this and I've played a good 40+ games. I mean he was hitting threes, down on the low post doing turnaround J's, attacking the basket, it was absolutely stunning to see. I really think the A.I. code in this game is messed up and were in for a real treat once the retail game comes out. Because this last game I played, the A.I. was running plays straight through Kobe, their was so many off ball screens. Nelson got knocked on his a** 3 times from screens. illegal off ball screens, I mean everything. Although I will say 3 in the key needs to be patched, it was right in 09 but it's not registering correctly in the demo.

I also suggest bumping up to Superstar, I've been playing on this level the last couple of games and this is where I'm really starting to see tons of things. The intensity in this game is massive. Im just amazed right now.

That was obvious. Walking size up. Heso drive right. The game's version is not that subtle.

have you bumped the level up b/c if you didn't its automatic on pro and that's for the people who don't really know how to play and the game is easier on that level.

Try putting it on superstar and the cpu will toast you...trust me...thats the level i play on and it is a real challenge.

You definitely CAN just dribble hard to get by the defense IRL. How the hell do you think LeBron gets to the basket? He's not quick off the dribble and doesn't have great crossover moves.

This is especially true since they made playing perimeter defense illegal around the time Jordan retired from Chicago.

LeBron not quick off the dribble???

Man i hate there is no blow by logic based on speed... its as big as anything to me...seems like the only way to get past anyone is crossing over...

There is no quickness or acceleration ratings this year. In fact there is only one rating that determines speed and that is speed itself.

Speed is defined as straight line speed in this game and how quickly a guy can get up to max speed while running.

There's nothing determines a slow footed guy or quick footed guy defensively this year. Unless they tied all that into speed itself which doesn't make much sense to me if that's the case. Add in fact that people no longer have to use their feet because of all the sliding and it just makes things tougher to gage as to what defender is slow and what defender isn't now.

Triple threat seems to be the best way to accomplish what your looking for and that's because the only rating defensively is on ball defense. Find a guy with low on ball defense and he'll be more vulnerable vs the triple threat move. Foot speed should also factor in but hey it's not there anymore.

If ther are no acceleration or quickness ratings, how come players are still different to one another in those areas?

they definately are different because if you get a player out in front on the break who has decent speed he will get to the rim more often than not untouched while a slower player will get his shot swatted

It's built up speed....the rating effects how quick a guy can get to maximum speed running forward.

That's different from quickness especially on defense. For example in Football the term could be used to describe a guy with a quick release or in basketball you'll have the same term quick release on the shot.

I've never heard anyone say he throws with a fast release or shoots with a fast release.

I would associate quickness with agility not with straight away speed. Speed is like going from one end of the court to the other and that's how interpret NBA Live's speed rating. Look at it your self and see what the definition says under the rating.

It mentions nothing about quickness

Warren Sapp wasn't a fast football player but he had quickness in short area to disrupt plays and beat a guy off the snap.

I would think a quickness a first step rating would be in the Final build since the 09 and 10 versions had those ratings.
