Best basketball sim game. Hands down.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I do know what a fastbreak is bro

Yes, pulling up for a 3 is well done / pull up J is well done.

The 2 on 1 / 3 on 1 stuff isn't.

I can't be more honest than that. If anyone wants to post some vids of 3 on 1 CPU fast breaks, please do so.

I wish I had a capture card but I'll try to get some video uploaded with my camera.

I agree.

The only team that I have seen run any type of break is the Suns. Playing against them is really fun.

I had the same concern about fastbreaks after watching all of the vids before i got the game and it 'seems' that this part of the game is still lacking waaaay behind the halfcourt game.

I really hope there is a fix for this via the tempo slider or in the patch.

This game plays too well in the halfcourt to be ruined again by the lack of realistic fastbreaks this year.

I can't stress how good the team sets and halfcourt play is though.

Once the patch fixes the glitch with the PG dribbling out the clock the halfcourt game will be amazing.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Just tested the Suns and they are better.

I am with you edubbs...the half court game is so good, it's just a matter of working out how to get more teams aggressive on the fastbreak. I think Steph and Beluba should be able to fix this easily enough as there's at least 'something' in the game this season, unlike 09

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

However, they don't really fastbreak aggressively at the hoop...they do play fast and go to the corners for quick 3 balls etc.

Example: You miss v the Knicks...they'll bring it up quick. Most of the time though the wingmen will go to the corners for a 3 ball though / won't really attack the hoop unless the lane is completely clear.

I'm concerned about weather or not this can be fixed in a patch. Wasn't this the same problem they had with fast breaks last year? The players would not fill the lanes and they would go to the corners.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Looking for slider thoughts. I'm having trouble in the lane as I'm sure many are. I like that there's so much contact in the lane, unfortunately it's very rare to score after getting bumped, even with star players. Is there a slider I can tweak so that my percentages go up in this area, I don't want to make every crazy shot, but Wade can take contact and make those shots consistently.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Great Sim, some real annoying things that should be patched though (PS3):

The music glitch:
No music playing during quarter breaks and some replay montages happens about 90% of the time.

Player Hair glitch:
Players with long hair geometry (eg. Zaza Pachulia, Andrew Bogut) have long bits of hair that aren't working with the lighting. This makes the hair mostly transparent and the players look very, very weird. I find this VERY annoying because the players look so bad I don't want to use them. It's in all areas of the game, in game, hangar, and even if you look at them up close in edit player.

^^^^
** I would really like to know from a producer if this is patchable because it means that I won't be using teams/players that have this fault which is frustrating **

Video Intro?:
I thought there was a different video intro to start the game with Dwight? I just get the same boring start that is in the demo. Does the 360 have this but not PS3?

Game not loading?:
A couple of times I started a play now game and got all my settings sorted and pressed start. I was taken to the hangar while it loaded, but the loading icon just stayed there....... for 5 minutes until I quit the whole game. I was not able to access the main menu or change players in the hangar. (this has happened 3 times)

They are the 'glitches' I have found with my PS3 version which are very bad. Overall impressions though are very good, but these things should be addressed.

Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Thanks, I'll do that now.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

should be end of month. Wanted to give you guys the chance to give feedback.

I'll just give you my impressions from playing against the Suns using the Hawks. They do fastbreak and Nash finds the open man. What you said about their being a 2 on 1 and you have 1 guy back and they do nothing I have yet to experience. And just so you know, fastbreaks doesn't mean you pass everytime. A player can push the ball up the court and pull up for a quick J, that's a fastbreak. It's not just about 2 on 1's and 3 on 2's being developed.

Sounds like people are inquiring about attacking the basket on a fast break. Like attempting a dunk, and getting fouled, I think. With all of the good feedback surrounding this game, that would be a bummer, if that logic is missing.

Great impressions, guys!

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Purchased Live 10 earlier today and played about six 7-minute quarter games. I went in with an open mind and decided to give it a fair shot.

First off, a definite and noticable improvement over the previous Live game. Arena sounds and lighting is top-notch. Presentation is nicely done as well and the game atmosphere is amazing.

With that said, it didm't play that much differently than the demo. Shot blocking is still broken and CPU fastbreaks were not as improved as I hoped. The players still move and run with a robotic hitch. I played around with a few of the slider settings but nothing too drastic.

Once again let me state that I absolutely HATE what they have done with the players graphics this season. I've gone over this many times in other threads and I'll leave it at that.

I don't play 'franchise' so I can't comment on that.

Overall this game is very good and entertaining. However something is still missing. Props to EA for a fine NBA game this year and while some are enjoying it (props to you).....it's just not my cup of tea. I found myself playing the demo of the "other" game more often than I did the full/retail game of Live 10. Just my opinion of course.

I fully expect Live 11 to be the supreme NBA game next season and I will definitely be back on their bandwagon, LOL.

My copy is going on eBay.

Take off your blinders man. This is an "impression" thread and I've just stated mine after picking up the game and playing it for a few hours. If it rubs you the wrong way, too bad. Not everyone is going to have the same opinion and like the same game.

Last year I prefered Live 09 over 2K9. This year it's the opposite.

Meh seemed pretty impartial to me. He just didn't love it like others here are (myself included). It won't be for everyone but you can't blame the man for having his own opinion on the game.

Hey do you play online?

If you keep the game hit me up because I think it's awesome head to head but you have to play guys that are sim oriented.

Also the fast breaks can be corrected but you have to tweak a few ratings and one of the players DNA tendencies. But i'd only do that after they (EA) release their patche and first DNA update which i think is Oct 26th. Anyway the fast breaks will work from what i observed today just messing around but the problem is i'm not playing Live vs the CPU this year much at all too frustrating for me.

But you should definetly keep it man just for the head to head aspect.
