Re: Biggest Mistake Buying Live

I have both on the 360 and I find myself playing 2k10 99% of the time for one main reason. The fast break.

Live has a ton of cool features that 2k10 doesn't and it plays a more honest halfcourt game. But the defense gets back on every play so quickly that there is not fast break offense to speak of. If they had fixed this in the patch I might be playing it instead. Both are solid games but I think 2k10 feels more exciting when ti comes down to it. At least for me.

Ah ok. One poster mentioned he gets fastbreaks when he thinks he should, so I'm kinda torn after this post. I would hate if I'm trying to push the basketball, but their transition D beats me up court everytime.

Guess I'll find out for myself Tuesday.

Re: Biggest Mistake Buying Live

Well, I am talking about fast breaks off of steals and such. I play as the cavs and Lebron knocks the ball out of someones hands out at the 3 point line and cleanly grabs it I expect that more times than not he is taking it to the house at the other end with little resistance. This is how it plays out on 2k10. Maybe happens a wee bit too often, but I'd rather a have a tiny bit too many fast breaks vs. none or almost none.

In Live, the CPU controlled payers appear to Anticipate the steal and get down court ahead of you or they get a super speed burst and make up so much time that they cut off Lebron before he gets to the charity stripe. I am not talking 1 guy running him down, I am taling 2-3 defenders in his way taking away any lanes to the basket. It just seems odd. I don't know if there is a slider to compensate for this or not.

Good Luck.
