Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I was not gonna buy Live initially as I was not that impressed by the defensive play in the demo. When I went to pick up 2k today, the place I went to also had live. I figured wtf and bought it.

I must say I am glad I did.

After running a few games and woorking on my defense the game does play well and is better than last years game. The only problems I have with it so far is sometimes when you go to block a shot your man seems to block at air instead of where the ball is, like its not aiming at the right place. It dont happen often so its not that big a deal. I also wish you had more control over bodying up on guys when playing defense. You can but sometimes not as fast as Id like. Ovearll though Live has come a long way, and I will be giving it time this year for a change.

Good job Live team.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

2010 is a big year next year and you'll find in dynasty that sometimes in that year players go or teams trade in anticipation, and you'll find in others that they stay.

We wanted to make 2010 a big year in your dynasty.

Hey stepensonmc, I just want to let you guys know that you did a great job this year. I love this game! But I do have one gripe-the framerate issues for the PS3 version. I made another thread about this, that is how bad it is. Some games I've played just have a slight problem. Others almost make the game unplayable.

Is this a random disc problem, or does FW 3.01 have anything to do with it? Again, I love this game, but the framerate problem with my copy can make the experience quite brutal sometimes. Will a patch be made to address this issue soon? Thanks in advance, man!

*Also, with the PS3 version, I noticed that music only plays after one of the quarters during replays, while the rest of them just show replays in silence. Is there an audio bug as well for the PS3 version? Please help me out, bro!*

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I find this LBJ trade very concerning for the Dynasty Mode

lol that made no sense at all for the cavs to even do that trade... they already got mo williams at pg and why would they take baron and for LEBRON!?

damn lol probably the crazyiest trade i have ever seen in a videogame.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Any Dynasty impressions? I mostly play that mode and would love to know if they've done anything to it. Probably not, with all the work that went into Live Season...

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Any way anyone can post the league leaders in dynasty.....screens would be great but I would be happy with th numbers

What I would really like is for someone to really give a great break down and analyze the dynasty mode and see about rookie progression/award winners.
Any word on the stats

Exactly what kind of framerate problems are their with the PS3 version? Does it occur on the broadcast angle during gameplay? This does not sound good, as I was very close to making up my mind what NBA game to pick up.

Aww H%*L NO!

Thats what I said when I saw the Mos def intro.

Then, I said it again.

NBA Live aint dead.
oN the contrary, its simply 'wangderful'.


Ok so here's the deal.
Each time I purchase a b-ball game, which is not every year, I flip flop up until release, usually picking one based on my preferences.
last year I got both at Toys R Us with the buy 2 get one free scenario. But ended up selling NBA 2k to someone and kept Live based on the DNA feature.

I was enjoying live until the glitch where the CPU NEVER called a time out. By by to that.
So, I bought 2k9 used. Ended up digging it and hung on to it.

2009 rolls around. Looking for one hoops game to keep for a few years and dig deep into career mode, like i do with all sports games.Back and forth I went.

2k had 10day contracts, restricted free agents, d-league and morale.

Live had.....hmmmm.

Not much else it seems.

Buuuuut. It had ridiculous gameplay based of the demo. Just silly. I mean silly like a Seinfeld premise after Larry David left the show.

Oh by the way, thats a good thing.

Ok so now it was time for find out a bit more bout Live. I was hooked.
I needed a good deep dynasty mode.

I needed something with teeth. Something with legs. Tyra banks was taken and I don't go to bars, so I looked deeper to the OS Community for NBA LIVE Dynasty tidbits.
Got a few nuggets but nothing super special. I was looking for created faces for rookies in the draft classes. Not silhouettes. I didnt want to be in year five and have a bunch of players who look like they are staring in at me thru my curtains at night. I sure as heck wouldn't want that guy running my half court offense!

I decided to go with 2k as the safe bet.
So I returned my unopened Live and got 2k.
Then got home and has buyers Wangmorse.

I couldn't open it. I wanted Live
after the demo, I had to come home to the live of my childhood.

it felt new. exciting.
Like a girl in a thong getting goosed on a beach in Miami, it felt too fresh.

I figured lets take a shot. Especially after hearing that there were issues with restricted FA's in 2k [you would not be notified of offers for those players, so you couldn't match]. Also guys were having trouble sending guys back down to the D-League after sending them down once previously.

Others were saying those problems didn't happen for them.
Like David Lee, I said, "I'm dubious about that".


I went and got Live again.

Finally busted it open Saturday night, simmed a dynasty and there they ere.
In glorious ridiculous looking cartoon cyber faces. The end of the year draft class. Even one guy who looked liek a Nordic supermodel who has banned himself from using conditioner.

But thats exactly what I wanted...

Uh oh. I figured, this is is gonna get good fast.



Didn't want to beat this thing like Chris Brown after a Laker's loss , so I'll just stop here with my story of how I arrived at Live.
I will break this thing up in separate posts. Next i will add thoughts of the game itself. What an idea huh?


Side note, these r not impressions, they r FACT!

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

econoodles eco-fact review: part II - Menus

Ok so yea, I booted it up.
I read all the legal stuff at the beginning.
I fi I can get serious for a second, that’s no joke guys. The FIBA ‘IS’ the property of the FIBA Federation De Internationale’ de basketballe’. Its not ours, So all you entrepreneurs out there. Chill. And no taping the games and airing them on youtube.
But keep uploading the clips of celebrity nipple slips.

Lets start this next part with the menus aspect.

Everyone knows menu navigation is huge.
It needs to be simple. Clean.
I loved madden 10’s style.
Bottom left, simple font. Unobstrusive.

I got lost navigating 2k menus once. I was just trying to get to Blacktop mode but ended up in the Bronx at some liquor store..
THAT’S how confusing that shyte is!

Ok so yea, Lives was nice.

But do not, I repeat do NOT try to play live on a standard def or non widescreen tv. If you do, bring your eye doctor so he can give u a lollipop if u can read everything the screen says from top to bottom.

Thanks to playing it in the bedroom, my girlfriend now thinks she needs glasses.

Great.

Don’t matter,
Me buying live= no more purchases this month.

Anyways, the menus are awesome.
Love the mos def intro, love the random NBA’ers pics that show up during it.
LOVE the music. That’s how you do NBA videogame culture.
Snoop, Pete Rock, De la,
Please.
Is that not menu music for an NBA game?
Second best soundy ever, since Street 2.

The one thing I’d change is have them let you pick your favorite team, then have random player photos or sound bites from that team show up during menus.

Me being a Knicks fan, not sure I want a Joe Crawford shot popping up of him in practice pants sitting on the bench talking to Herb Williams, but hey, its better than nothing.
With that being said, if you didn’t like last years game’s menus, then, yep. Sorry.

Side note, I love what they did this year, madden and live, when u pause in game, it freezes on the screenshot. Nice touch. Elegant.

In any event. Live menus are once again, IMP, classy and sharp. It just feels like 60 bucks when you look at an EA menu screen.

overall this is the best menu I have seen since Mcdonalds added the McRib. and I don't even eat meat!


My thoughts on other things after I take the oatmeal off the stove, which like Jamal Crawford on a pick and roll. Burnt.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

In NBA LIVE 2010, is it POSSIBLE to play ANY team's matchup in your franchise or can you ONLY play your user controlled team's games?

Sometimes, in NBA 2K10 and Madden 10 I like to play other team's games around the league when I need a break from my own team. Its kind of like a Game of Week game in my own franchise.

Can you do this in NBA Live 2010?

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Can people with the game speak specifically about ONLINE issues such as:

1. How does Online play Compare to Offline (Gameplay?)
2. Online Presentation
3. Connectivity/Lag?
4. Leagues?
5. Online Options (i.e. Sliders, playbooks, camera settings etc.)??
