I have been on OS for years, but rarely post. This demo is so bad, I felt compelled to say something. Back to bed I guess.

All I can say is WOW!! I don't want to bash this game or EA, but c'mon guys seriously in 2010 this is what EA is offering us as NBA basketball??!!!
I had hoped for some great rtp and nice graphics, but atlas, this isn't the case i don't feel the rtp at all in this demo!! Nor do I like the graphics...I guess 2k has won my heart!!

So, am I the only one loving this game?

No you're not. Trust me.

Real talk, and this is not to be on some silly console war - I say scrap the 360 version for next year and dev only for the PS3 and utilize the Blu-ray disc space to help stretch the engine. At this point, EA is truly losing out this time around although I find some redeeming qualities about the game. If it shows that they actually went in the wrong direction when the sales figures first hit, go hard on the PS3. At that point it would be a what have they got to lose scenario.

To me, it looks like they've really tapped out the engine's resources without the extra disc space. Not to mention they could REALLY go hard like how the guys who dev The Show do. The PS3 has some real nice tricks up it's sleeve, as well. EA could make up lost dollars with even greater sales that way when word of mouth of how great a game they put together on the 3....but then again, they'd need a couple years of dev time to go hard on an Elite 13...maybe.
Just a thought but I know how many of you will take that the wrong way...

Disc space has nothing to do with the engine. You do not know what you are talking about.

I'd be happy to, which one would you like me to address. For the most part they seemed to all state opinions or facts about the game that didn't really need much of a response.

But I'm more than happy to.

I'll be up for at least another hour I think.

DISAPPOINTMENT. That sums it up nicely. They took like 5 steps back from last year's very solid effort. It's not even about getting used to the new controls, the game is just all over the place. The animations are extremely jerky and haphazard. I notice the last motions on any given animation go at light speed giving the herky-jerky feel to it. Almost as if it's missing several frames and just snaps right into the ending portion of the animation.

Another problem that has plagued Live/Elite for a while now is the seemingly lack of body weight on the players. It's prevalent again this year and I don't like it. Also the shot animations are ugly especially if you're close to the basket.

On a positive note, the crowd noise is top notch and the atmosphere is solid as well. Unfortunately where it matters most (gameplay) this game falls way below "Elite" status, IMO. Not a purchase for me.

I don't know what to say.... How about, I won't be selling Live 10 anytime soon.

The controls just don't work. It might sound good on paper but it just doesn't work in motion. Imo.

Here's a question, why would I cross to my right while moving to my left, exposing the ball to a defense that has no interest but to glue themselves to me (glue, as in no matter what I do, the defense is actually stuck to the player i'm controlling without a defensive stance, but just there, for no apparent reason) and not take a swipe?

Whoever wrote, basketball isn't hockey, was right on the money. I apologize to the devs in here, but i'm just being honest. This is... whatever.

Live 06 for the 360 makes this game look dead in the water!!! Can't emphasize it enough, this game is a travesty. Saddest day in my gaming life...

If you don't mind starting with those. I am not trying to be rude, I would just like your opinion on these thoughts that the entire community seem to be feeling. I know that you might be gutted, but I would like to know what you are thinking.

The more I play it, the more I like it, even the way the game seems stripped down and lacks in many aspects. The feel of the controls is just so wonderful. It's overpowering, to me. Not to bring up 2K but it still lacks big time in the control department. Wish I could combine the 2 to make the game I always dreamed up because they both have all the elements but not one does everything right.

Its not disc memory that they are having a problem with its RAM and both platforms are pretty equal in that regard.

No you're not. Trust me.

On these boards he seems to be. And please have once over on what you said you would answer. Thank you!

LOVE how when u Eurostep u still have to shoot the ball manually. Otherwise it results in a travel if u forget to shoot, which I have since I'm so used to the CPU completing the animation and shot for me. Nice touch.

No you're not. Trust me.

Honestly man, I won't let others opinions effect the game for me. I'm having fun with this demo. I love the amount of control that I have on the court. I literally have the freedom to do the moves I want when I WANT. I'm loving the fact I can call for a pick and roll, do a hop step and finish with a switch lay-up. Awesome awesome awesome. Great year of basketball for me. Both 2K11 and Elite will be purchases.
