Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

Nuggets footage is much appreciated! Nice start to the day.

The Melo fade away and pump fake around the 4 min mark looked spot on. Liked how the cpu played post game at first, then started running near the end. I cannot believe how this game flows this year and I will be purchasing a Live game for the first time since 96.

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

on the Lakers video, i still dont like how the cpu holds the ball that long before doing anything, but the way i remedied that in the demo was go out and body him up to make him move. i dont like how some of the blocks look either when going up for a shot. other than that, i still love the way the game is going. oh, and thanks for work u guys put in, it's great to be able to see the games and make comparisons or see what the game is gonna be like before it comes out, saves us some rental fees, props to everyone who's provided the inside scoop.

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

one other question, do the free throws seem too easy? is it pretty balanced between the good and bad shooters from the line?



I think this will be preference man, but you can always do what Beluba said and bump it down 10 clicks...just dont expect to make any

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

Again, thanks. Although I don't like seeing Malik Allen make an appearance so early on in the game.

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

i forgot I came bearing gifts. This is NOT my best playing fellas but here is some user (denver) vs cpu (lakers) action. I captured this when I got off the forums around early so i was very tired. At any rate have at it.

live looks much improved this year, but the cpu offensive ai is horrendous in this video. at least user vs. user games should be fun.

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

LOL this what I was thinking when I was watching the game. Some knicks fan help me out but I swore I heard their head coach say when he was phoenix that they like to try in score in the first 7-10 seconds of the shot clock...

What is hilarious is this game had a 35 to like uhhh 15 or something first quarter and they both ended the game with a total score of less than 90 with the knicks coming back to within 10...

They started off hot and got ice cold both shooting under 34% for the game. It was great to watch in that aspect.

listen let me restate this. I have no problem with people pointing out what they dislike about the game.

Its just I was on here not playing and answering questions and uploading vids and capturing them from 7:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. I was getting a little tired and though guys might be overreacting a tad bit. My apologies if I stepped over that everybody should be able to voice positive and negative opinions without being attacked line because I do believe that.

Please notice who EA sent the game to for this community. Sage HATED live. I refused to do videos for them for years. Dre and Born are guys who KNOW their basketball. The could have went another route and If we were like its WACK it would have been a wrap for them. So I give them credit for taking a chance with that. However I think that also points to the direction of the game. They went SIM this year. Its going to take an adjustment.

we have never really played a game that so closely mimics the true pace of an nba game. On youtube some people were posting that the knicks Golden state footage was boring... I LOL real hard cause that is why those games are NOT sold out.... that is nba basketball not video games. video games are exciting everytime down the floor right. But when you watch the lakers on TV on some nights kobe does NOT iso to death he just stay withing the triangle and they set it up and run it to death...

It not all dunks and excitement but that is the real nba. There is a reason Bucks vs the Nets are not playing on christmas cause it would bore the hell out of the average viewer. Yet some of us could watch that whole game and be entertained by the BASKETBALL strategy that occurs and the mismatches and how coaches use certain plays to lul you to sleep and then run a diff option in the 4th.

If you guys are unable to see the beauty in a sim. It will go away and i def don't want that regardless of what game it is we want them to cater to us not cheesers.

I have been amazingly consistent with what I have said. It's a game to be Played and not watched. The feeling of the control is soo much apart of the experience.

Anyway just wanted to get that out there. Nitpick away. But also recognize good baskeball when its being shown. I have yet to see a more aggressive cpu offense than what you saw in that opening sequence. Remember the days when you would see the cpu open and you would hope they would attack ??? but they wouldn't.. That did not occur in that video. LOL and I for one loved it !!! So I'm back and rested and ready to get my velvet hoop on.... Carry on Family !!!

Czar appreciate the vids and your impressions as well. They mimic my impressions and the feelings I get from just playing the demo. You can tell you really know basketball and the fundamental aspect of it. That's the one thing I really liked about not only the Live 10 demo but also Live 09 as well. No it isn't heavily animated with 1,000's of dunks and etc. It's just solid basketball, but the things that are really important they get right, from the P&R to help defense, variations in the pressure defenders put on the guy they're defending, different play sets, variations in the scorers on the teams, it's like you feel your really experiencing a real NBA game. One minor thing I can think of right now that no one may have notice that I liked as well in the demo is, Not only does Fisher bring the ball up the court and sometimes Kobe, but I've saw Artest bring the ball up the court as well and it's not just after made baskets either. Things like that may really be minor to others, but it really stands out to me and brings a great deal of diversity to the game.

Most people will probably be turned off by Live due to the competition being animation heavy. And rightfully so, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But I myself can say I like the direction Live is going in (Sim all the way), the true essence of fundamental basketball.

With that said, I can relate to you and 23 when it comes to b-ball talk. So keep the vid's coming, much appreciated.

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

Great job on getting vids up Czar. I know this forum was thirstin' real hard the last week.

I think a lot of what takes away from the videos are the camera angle. I can't get into bball like that anymore.

Perhaps if you were to put up some broadcast view vids you'd see a more favorable reaction to the videos. It also allows others to compare to a real game. I know that some parts can't be appreciated from that angle, like the break run by the lakers after the miss at the 4:50 mark.

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

Yeah I'm not a fan of the camera angle he used in the videos at all but I appreciate the effort.

[pdawg17]

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

I agree about the camera angle as well...

Btw, there still seems to be a lot of standing around by the cpu...it looks like it is because the cpu is setting up a play and is waiting but Fish spent a lot of time in the video standing 35 feet away dribbling...commentary does seem a bit "quiet" compared to the demo...

I'll be runnin' with my Dubs on 10/6 though!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCz-SmQZYVg

one thing to note. The lakers have a huge size advantage notice how they wait for that post interchange and try to bang us inside. Melo had a terrible game and I had to find offense elsewhere and struggled later in the game.

NOtice the difference of pace between this game and the kicks gs game. Also please rest assured Kobe led all la in scoring in this game.

also notice out of the same set they tried to bang us in the post. notice they also goto kobe and Fisher on down and up screens. It looks the same but they move personnel and attack you from different places out of the same set... Nasty basketball action right there. you have to figure out how to stop it.

Also notice my difficulties scoring inside with nene over the taller defender. Now with melo stuggling that puts me in a tuff situation. Do i stay with the jumpers and run more plays for JR ?? If I do can I maintain that over the course of 48 minutes ??? in my mind I was having a blast. We lost this game for that reason. And lakers offensive rebounding. our j's fell for 3 qtrs and went south in the 4th lost by 15 I think

Thank you, Sir.. I see you are fresh up from that late night.

[ehh]

Re: NBA live 10 Retail Video thread

Thanks for the vids Czar.

A bit troubling that the first possession the Lakers have Kobe just holds the ball out for 15 seconds before running a pick and roll from Gasol, hopefully that first patch will fix that.

Loved the difference in the Knicks/Warriors game and the tempo in the Lakers/Nuggs. Run and gun to the extreme in MSG, LMAO at all the people complaining about quick shots, did any of you actually watch a Knicks or Warriors game IRL last year?

That was a nice ball reversal/flex cut to get Melo the bucket in the paint on your second possession. Nene's tip-to-himself offensive rebound and put back dunk looked sick.

The game looks real good out of the box, gonna be scary once we get some tweaks in there. One thing I love is that it's hard to get points in the paint. You can't roll in there at will and get a shot off or get a bucket and it's EQUAL for both the user and the cpu.

czar, i like the way you run your offense trying to get space for open shots. looks like users will finally be able to use some strategy this year. i'm looking forward to trying the game out myself. but i really must say the cpu offensive ai is just plain broken. out of 11 possessions for LA they passed the ball more than 2 times just TWICE. on 5 possessions they only passed the ball one time. they passed 3 times once and 4 times once. on the possession where they actually passed 4 times, the first 2 passes warped through defenders. i can already tell playing against the cpu is gonna suck and i really don't see how some of this stuff can be overlooked.

Agreed on all accounts.
