Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I think it is just for the upcoming season. Rewind Games, I am sure you can find it.

Do the rewind games have the DNA of that certain game in it also? I could've sworn I seen a video of dynamic season saying we could go back to last season.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

How are the player rotations? Do the right guys close out the games as they should?
Also, how is the cpu end of close game management? Do they make the correct decisions 9 times out of 10?

Thanks in advance

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

1st game 12 minute quarters Boston vs New Orleans

user controlled Rondo had 18 assists(familiar)

Awesome catch and shoot sequences...silky smooth

Zero framerate issues on my ps3 slim

CPU Hornets shot 65 percent in the 4th qtr to stretch a 7 point lead to a 30 point rout...hopefully not another NHL 10 situation where the CPU is unstoppable in the final period..definitely something to watch

God my D sucks

Fun game

nice touch to come out of that game and have 8 rookies in the Hangar(Griffin,Thabeet,Harden, Jennings,Psycho T ,Curry, Flynn, last one escapes me)

28 combined blocks, and 22 combined steals...needs sliders and tuning from EA itself

Seriously considering buying this game for the first time in a long time but man 28 blocks and 22 steals, that worries me.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Only had time for 2 games but man, I'm really digging this game so far.

First game I ran with the Nuggets (my favorite team b/c of Melo) and took on the Cavs. LeBron is an absolute beast in this game. He murdered us all game. He drove the paint, hit a couple of spot-up 3's and went to the line a bunch. He finished with 33 points and 8 assists, I think.

Melo had a good game, going for 20, as did JR Smith. Nene had a good 1st half but cooled in the 2nd half. Chauncey was off and that hurt as I fell behind late in the 2nd half and lost by 12.

Second game I took the Thunder and played Golden State. It was a shootout as GS pushed the tempo all game long. Kevin Durant is the truth; I went off for 44 points against Golden State's weak D. Golden State started doubling Durant in the 2nd half, so I had to move the ball around and the shots were hit-and-miss. Westbrook had moments and Etan Thomas provided a nice spark off the bench. The Warriors won 112-102.

Both games had realistic shooting percentages. I don't think any team was over 45%, it was in the 40-44% range.

The floor spacing is real nice.

I love how responsive the controls are.

Size-up moves are a nice risk-reward. Sometimes they work, sometimes you turn the ball over and sometimes you just miss a shot.

Crowd noise is impressive. Commentary is serviceable and I think it will improve with the Dynamic Season.

I really don't have anything negative to say at this point. The only thing is that the CPU doesn't appear to foul very much, so that might need to be fixed with a slider tweak. Other than that, this game is TIGHT out of the box. And, as a guy that detests sliders, that makes me very happy.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Amazing how you really see the different offenses with different teams. Very noticeable.

Absolutely true!

The team styles and playbooks are great in this game...absolutely outstanding.

I've played 3 more full games...and the game just gets better and better.

I am using the Jazz and it's just great to see their real offense in there...I ran a break with Deron and big Okur trailed to the top of 3 point line, got set and I hit him for 3. I watched the replay and you could see Okur, a 7 footer who can hit 3s, actually stop and set up at the line...just like he does in the real NBA.

I played against the Mavs and Dirk was Dirk. He was isod and taking 17 footers with a perfect sig shot all game.

The Mavs barely attacked the hoop at all...it was all mid range Js...so I went and played Miami and D-Wade attacked the hoop all game.

The fastbreak issue I mentioned earlier is the only negative...and it's NOWHERE NEAR as bad as last season. Faster teams do play at a genuine pace + occasionally attack the hoop. (Last season everyone walked up to the corners...team pace was all the same).

This game is very, very good this season.

Massive turnaround on LIVE 09...massive.

UPS just dropped mines off and it's installing on my Ps3 now. I'll be back later for impressions and hopefully some good highlight videos. If anyone wants to add me my PSN is thaKEAF hopefully we can get the OS community strong on Live 10!

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Rented 2k for ps3 (avoid framerate issues) and live for 360. I have not played a live game since ps2 so I was very scared to try it. After 5 hours of playtime with both games I am buying live this year. I have played 2 games with 2k and there is no outside shooting and its all scored in the paint. The dynasty commentary is sick as well as the previous game stat overlays. Well done.

BUT, I am all about gameplay and I am in love with live10. I cant explain how excited I am to have this game. I am going to buy it this weekend when I have to bring it back to Blockbuster.

I play as the Suns and I LOVE the arena sounds like barbosa's meep meep when he scores and the 3 point bomb noises. Im in love!

I got SMOKED by the Celtics by 45 points after giving up the ball on 2k moves about 40 times. I enjoyed the mid range game and the sheer excitement of working the ball around to get the open man and watching him nail a 3 pointer.

I simmed 1 game in the dynasty so I could play game 2 of my season v. the Warriors and they play like the Warriors. They put up Bombs all day and Stephen Jackson/Corey Maggette combo DESTROYED me. It was a pleasure watching them carve up my porous suns defense.

Jason Richardson was awesome for me and I just cant say enough about this game.

There were 14-0 10-2 runs back and forth all game long. I dont know if there is comeback ai but I was able to chip away at a 20 point deficit to 1 and then GS bounced back with a 10-0 run. I was only able to get to within 4 in the 4th quarter before they ended the game winning by 12.

LOVE it.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

* Each game is different. Playing against the Suns was a totally different experience to playing against the Heat or Bucks. Great longevity here as this will keep it fresh.

So true M8.

NBA 2K10 will have to be really, really good in this area to drag me away from LIVE. Guys I trust say they have, so I'll wait and see on that game.

For an 82 game season, this IMO is the absolute main thing needed...different team styles each game, different challenges.

LIVE has done this extremely well.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

another cool touch...when u miss a free throw badly with the meter, the foul shot reflects that. CLANK! lol love it

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I am so impressed with the defensive rotations in this game. Not only does this make for great basketball, but it also allows you to exploit mis-matches. It's simply amazing.

yes dna and boxscore from all of last season and playoffs. The actually have a calender for each team and when you click on a day you can see all the games played. Much more organized than last year.

I played against bron in the 50 pt game as the knicks....DNA is the truth !!!

i really enjoy this part of the game. I am able to do what nba coaches do and have the personel in place to take advantage of the help during certain plays... Awesome !

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

CZAR...I am still not clear on th whole DNA Dynamic Season thing.

If I start my season...i can actually add DNA into my own season as it's being played?

I.e. I don't need to start again to get updated DNA?

You were right about the playbooks bro...they are a thing of beauty

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

man I cannot beat the Cavs on All-Star with the Raptors. It is really brutal. I can keep up with them for 3 quarters, but the last quarter just gets brutal. I miss wide open jumpers (especially threes) and LeBron usually takes over.

Is there a way to see the 3pt ratings of all the players?
