Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Ok, was able to get one quick game in and I must say this game is simply amazing!!!!! I played with the Pistons against the Heat and D.Wade was all over the place. I know playmakers was saying he wanted players to play like themselves, well from what I witnessed so far they do. Wade even had an alley to Oneal and it was a nice setup as well. The playsets are crazy as well, running Hamilton off of picks is a thing of beauty. The atmosphere I'm just at a lost of words for. I mean I've never seen anything like it in a sports game before. As far as overall presentation goes they need commentary on the replays during deadballs and at the end of quarters. Its nice but just dull the way it is now. If they can clean up their animation engine a bit more Live 11 is gonna be scary. Back with more impressions later on today.

Sorry if I offended anyone by my stupid remark. It was definitely uncalled for. Poor choice of words on my part in trying to insert some 'humor' into my argument. Obviously there's nothing funny about Parkinson's. I pray for your uncle and anyone else who has this terrible disease.

You got a chuckle out of me dude.

Thanks for apologizing. No worries. Carry on with the impressions.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I was impressed to see some calls I don't think I ever saw in 2k such as a moving pic. What I wasn't impressed with is the lack of Defense the AI put up. I beat the Cavs with the Nuggets by 30 points. The controls are definitely more smooth then 2k for sure.

I felt it was a bit too easy to get into the lane as well. The Post-game presentation is non-existent, but during the game they do have some very good presentation.

I'm by no means a fan of Live but I will definitely say I enjoyed the game more then playing 2k10 this year. 2k's controls just not smooth compared to live.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Simply from an execution standpoint this game is amazing. I'm a playbook guy and the way the cpu executes plays and run sets from team to team is incredible.

Alot of you will 'feel it' when you get you hands on the game but, it's something you have to play to really appreciate.

For example the cpu controlled Nash and CP3 will pick and roll you all day long just like IRL.

I didn't think the authenic playsets would have this big of impact in my enjoyment of this game but, if you love execution like me it's going to be tough to play games with generic sets again.

The team playsets are just that good in this game.

I have seen on 'rare' occassions some questionable moves by CPU controlled bigs out on the perimeter though.

And that one contact animation that plays on drives to the lane is getting old real quick. I'm already tired of seeing it.

Other than that, if you love seeing what teams run when watching NBA games IRL and don't have time for slider modifications (like me) this game will have you hooked.

BTW, like has already been mentioned the game pace in Live10 is PERFECT. The best in any game created thus far, and 12min qtrs you feel the variious ups and downs that you get when watching games on TV.

Really impressed by how authenic this games plays on the floor. Even with lacking some animations to add a little bit of variety in the way some collisions play out.

With that being said, the on court play from the AI and the user control can't be disputed. Couple that with true to life, authenic NBA playsets.......aw man this games just feels right.

You may not get many WOW moments while watching Live10 vids but, I get plenty of them just watching how the AI executes while playing this game.

It's truely impressive.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I have heard out that only dynasty allows you to control more than one team if this is true, does season mode have a fantasy draft? My favorite part of basketball games is the ability to draft a team against my friends and just play the games we match up.

trey, fantasy draft=yes.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I have been playing with Random teams and not my beloved Blazers. So anyway I was using the T-Wolves last night against the clippers and I was so impressed in how they played. This is all on 12 minuets of course.

I couldn't stop Baron Davis he was a beast, attacking the basket when the slightest lane was open pulling back on his trade mark jump shot, I mean they got his fade-away jumper down pat. Please guys go play the clips and see how perfect Davis shot is. Blake Griffin was eating up a lot of rebounds and his post game was very effective, even as a rookie. Also Al Thornton was having his way too.

I just came away impressed how the Clips played like they should have. I just couldn't believe how B.Davis played so much like his real life counter part.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Just got hammered by the Cavs, I was the Magic (there actually better in the demo lol). Lebron was a beast, from his scoring to his passing (Can't wait for PM to play this game to get his opinion). Because from what I'm seeing players are playing like themselves. When I was doubling Lebron he was finding the open man, even threw a couple alleys as well. Also I was down 17-6 in the 1st quarter, and scored 5 straight to make it 17-11 and the CPU called a timeout. I believe I saw a thread about the CPU not calling a timeout. But I was amazed to see that they called a timeout when they did in the game I just played. More impressions coming.

Lebron 28pts 9ast 7rbs
Mo Will 28pts 6ast 2rbs
Varejao 12pts 11rbs
S.Oneal 6pts 8rbs
D.West 5pts 6ast

D.Howard 22pts 18rbs
R.Lewis 9pts 10rbs
M.Pietrus 12pts 6ast
V.Carter 20pts 6rbs 5ast
J.Nelson 13pts 0ast

The Magic bench really sucks. Beluba, Steph, etc.....Auto subs not really tuned right IMO. I had nobody get subbed in until like 2 mins left in the 1st quarter (12 min qtrs). Just didn't like the subbing rotations, nor the time of the subs. Also why is it when a PF or C gets subbed in off the bench they are automatically defaulted to setting a pick first. When the starters are on the court I can have everyone on my team set a pick (it's usually the closest guy to me when I call for one), but once Gordat comes in or Bass, they set the pick like 95% of the time no matter how far they are from the play. I can be all the way on the far right side and the will be all the way on the left side and they will still come set the pick instead of the man next to me.

Also the C and PF get bunched up down on the block a lot of times, as if there both trying to post up in the same spot (even if I call a quick play for Howard to post up). Messes up the spacing on the court.

Also, you guys need to seperate each individual players pressure and double team adjustments. As of now (and it was like this last year as well), if I put TIGHT on Mo Williams and they sub in D.Gibson for him, then he'll be guarded as tight as well. I would like to adjust each player that's being defended individually so that at the beginning of the game if I put Pressure NORMAL and NO double team on D.Gibson, when he gets subbed in it takes the place of Mo.Williams.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Is there any way to calibrate your controller? Plenty of times I'm pressing up but the game is recognizing it as up right.

If I press slightly up left, then the arrow recognizes it as a perfect up input.

Def. not my controller, I've tried more than 1.

I've also noticed instances where my player is moved into a position, almost as if it's an automatic defense assist that I can not get out of.

Can you pass out of a layup? I've had times where I can't.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Are you guys running set plays or just moving the ball around until you get a guy with an open look?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I assure you this game has far more depth to the gameplay than that. Im sorry but the organization and NBA playcalling and mid range game is unmatched dude.

This game is far from a dunkfest.. and its not animation heavy, its based on strategy and intelligence of running authentic NBA sets.
You can win running the offense as a team like they really do, then you can take over with the superstar if you need to.

The games are so random though because no game feels the same, dont let anyone tell you any different man. You wont know til you play it youself.. this game is not for the arcade fan or those who like dunking as most of their offense

Thanks Dre. Did you play both yet?

Great read man thnx a lot, that's what i'm expecting, getting into play to have pure fun without frustrations.

Wish that they could have enhanced the sim engines for dynasty.
