    If you want to enjoy LIVE 10...

    You fellas who've been here a while know me pretty well...I don't sugarcoat things often and like to call it as it is.

    So...i'll say it right now, LIVE 10 has a lot of WTF moments in it. Maybe too many for some. I've seen Dwight Howard take 20 foot fade aways. I've seen big Andrew Bynum crossover at the top of the key and shoot a fadeaway...I've seen rebounds seemingly warp into guys hands...I could go on. Bigs often simply slide off your man when you guard them. I could go on......

    However...you know what? This game also does a hell of a lot right. There's, literally, several times a game even in the demo that I sit there and say out loud "wow".

    Play sets
    Game pace
    Atmosphere
    Depth...legitimate depth.

    I could go on...and on.

    At first I hated the D...but now that I've got more used to it, I am having some great moments using guards and playing on ball D. (Bigs I am not sure about still...but guards is very realistic once you get the hang of it).

    This game is going to require a lot of time.

    If you want to enjoy it this season, you're going to have to:

    A - Invest hours learning it + learning your teams playbook.

    B - Be able to accept the "WTF" moments when you see something stupid. You're going to have to decide that the "wow" moments outweigh the "WTF" moments...relax, accept this and move on.

    Pretty simple IMO.

    If you're really bothered by the WTF moments...this won't be the game for you this season IMO. Dyamic DNA won't fix all these "moments". LIVE 09 still had them...it's in the engine.

    But that same engine has a hell of a lot of depth and is going to give those who perservere a lot of enjoyment this season IMO.

    Ultimately it's up to the individual as to whether the pros outweigh the cons.

    I played live 09 6 months straight when I first got it. I'm sure live 10 will give me a few headaches but overall I know i'll love it.

    If live steps up the dynasty mode it will be the perfect game for me but, I think that's a next year though. But it's cool because I know I'll just enjoy what they offer now.

      LIVE 09 had a lot more problems + way less features...and it was kind of enjoyable for a while.

      I am with you...I think LIVE 10 will have enough quality moments to make it worth playing.

      I am short of time at the moment...so I'm going to have to decide whether to predominantly play this or 2K.

      I really think LIVE will need people to make the time commitment to get the most out of it.

              I think for the people who plan to play Live have been putting in time to learn it...in the demo.

              And to be honest, I'd rather spend time learning my team's playbook, each player's shot time releases, etc. than spending the same amount of time or more (weeks, months) adjusting Sliders...if you get my drift. :wink:

                  well said if the only thing you need to do is learn the team you are using that makes a heck of a lot of sense.

                    Totally agree. Also I haven't seen some of these WTF moments people speak of. I haven't seen anything stranger than what I've seen in almost every other basketball game, so for me Live has already won my time. I had to force myself to stop playing the demo, because it reminds me of a strip club. Such a tease.

                    I really, really hope I can get my hands on this game this week. I haven't anticipated a bball game like this since 2k8, and I think it will deliver FOR ME, like 2k8.

                      Although there are some things I don't like in the demo it's only a demo. In my book this game has more good than bad based on the demo. I think retail will be even better. Can't stand the other game's gameplay anymore.

                        I have not seen any WTF moments either. I think this is the first demo I have had to make myself stop playing. I have not bought a Live game since 2005 and to me 2k just looks too easy to score in the paint again this year. This just turns every game into a KOBE, LB, WADE, ETC, crossover in the paint marathon matinee with friends, online and the cpu. That is why the shooting percentages are high again. Hopefully the full game will address this, but it is a wait and see.

                          I feel the main criticisms are made by people that haven't put in the time to really get into the game. It was such a plus that the demo came out as early as it did because by being able to put so much time with the demo you can really get the controls down. Many of my issues were solved not by sliders but by me simply learning how to play defense and playing the correct style and tempo for that team. Oddly by doing that the WTF moments dwindled to the point where they are darn near gone. If some of the issues are already smoothed out in the retail version this game will be awesome.

                          I've played the demo a ton and I still come across new things and a lot of "wow" moments. I think about what its gonna be like to play with Parker, Duncan, Rose, C. Paul, D. Will, Melo, D. Wade, LeBron, Durant, etc. From the time the retail version drops to the beginning of the regular season I could see myself spending countless hours figuring out playbooks and seeing how all of the different players and teams play. Add in Dynamic Season and DNA and this game is gonna be nails.

                            There are pluses and minuses.

                            Pluses:
                            -Pacing of the game
                            -They actually run fastbreaks this year
                            -Player momentum is great
                            -Shots look and feel great
                            -Playbooks

                            Minuses
                            -Sliding is a problem this year
                            -Passing is still echy skechy
                            -Dribbling moves are not as good as the look, they are still over dramatic.
                            -Players dont play like themselves
                            -I cant tell the difference between players, if pietrus and kobe were on the same team they would look alike

                            You did pay for online roster updates. Do you know why? Thats all Madden really is from year to year, a roster update.

                              Wow. Are you sure you're playing Live10? I disagree with ALL of this.
