    Re: Difficulty Question

    I'm new to Live, but the highest difficulty I believe is 'Superstar'. I believe for Live 09 ranked games were on Allstar.

    The label they put on the difficulty is semantical. It's all relative. Maybe it's just me, but in the demo I haven't noticed a huge difference between allstar and superstar. I've been playing the demo on allstar because I'm guessing that's what the difficulty for online games will be.

    Are you the same guy from the 2k boards? Are you thinking about getting Live this year?

      Yeah, thats me. Im just really disappointed with 2K and I dont think Ill be getting 2K10 any time soon. Im thinking of Live because I liked the demo and it seems to be improving every year. After finding out that 2K online games will be on All Star difficulty, I could do nothing more then smh. So Im just wondering the same thing about Live.

            'Allstar' is just a name. You can't compare allstar in 2k to allstar in Live.

            I don't know what exploits and such will arise, but Live feels like a polished version of nba 2k8 to me which is a good thing.

              You cant compare Live to being like 2K games. They are completely different games. NBA 2K8 was nowhere near as good as 2K7, but was better then 2K9. Not by much though. Live 10 to me is nothing like 2K8. It has different controls, different animations, different presentation, idk its just too different.

              Since I play my bball games mostly like 90% online, then making sure its as close to a sim experience is important to me. Hacing 2K on All Star difficulty is just a casual thing. I mean last years it was in Superstar and we all remember how much garbage that was. I just want to make sure Live is or isnt doing the same for ranked games

              So Live will be in All Star you say?

                We will have to agree to disagree on Live 10 vs. NBA 2k8. There are differences of course, but Live 10 without question reminds me of a polished 2k8. I remember 2k8 very well because up until they changed servers I was still playing it from time to time.

                With respect to Live online I have high expectations gameplay-wise. Based on the demo there isn't a huge difference between Live 10 allstar and superstar difficulty level.

                My concerns with Live online are with the whole setup. I'm not sure what options they will have or won't have. It only takes 1 of 2 oversights to completely wreck online play.

                Below is a quote from a NBA Live Producer. Remember 'Superstar' is the highest level of difficulty in Live.

                  So looks like Live 10 ranked matches will be on the highest difficulty. Good to know. Also the fact that they have kept lobbies is also a plus. I just dont know why 2K would remove them. It makes no sense.

                    Nope it will be on the second highest (All-Star)

                    In 2k All-Star is like the 3rd highest but in live its the second.

                      He was referring to that quote I posted where the Live producer stated there would be a superstar lobby. That was a post from August though, not sure if that's still happening or not.

                      What is the difference between Allstar and Superstar in Live? Going by the demo I don't see much of a difference.

                        I havent played the dmeo on All Star really. Only played it on Superstar. So we dont officially know what difficulty it will be on ranked games?

                          I've only seen a comment from one person and it was the guy in this thread who said it's on allstar. I don't think many people on these boards care for online play at all.

                          Maybe this is why.

                          Now, with all of that said, I LOVE THIS GAME OFFLINE, and believe it CAN play similar with like minded sim individuals ONLINE also, but it would take the right kind of people. If we would set up a league where we limit the off ball manual movement to the front of the rim (or limit the points in the paint to a realistic percentage of one's overall points) as well as have players that will run some of the wonderful plays that EA has given each and every team, then the game would play wonderfully online....

                          If anyone would like to give this a shot, my gamertag is selahsdaddy and we could play an unranked 7 or 8 minute quarter "sim-like" game and I believe have a lot of fun.....
