I agree man. I'm digging on both games as well. First time I have ever bought two NBA games for the same season.

Everyone wants to feel justified in their choice so instead of keeping their mouth shut and enjoying what they have people tend to bring the other game down to further the justification.

It's no different than Coke vs Pepsi, Xbox vs Playstation, Mac vs PC, etc...

Its easy to squash that when you buy both and enjoy something from both

Yup. It's pretty transparent when people do it as well, be it blatantly or with snide comments or key words.

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

It's pretty funny to me. I just don't like it when people try to act like they don't have a bias. If you enjoy 1 game more than the other just admit it. People claim that they are unbiased, but go out there way every chance to mention the other game's flaws, and magically don't see "their" games flaws. If those flaws don't bother you it's one thing, but to act as if they're not their is another.

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

Great post. I have both and I enjoy both games equally. They both have there faults but, they both are good games of bball.

The NFL issue is a big concern of mine. What if we did only have one game to pick from. Look at the Madden board and ask yourself this question. Do I really have it that bad?

I pray that day never comes, because I don't trust any company to have the sole rights to the NBA. I wish the NFL would wake up.

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

I own both games, enjoy both games...I pick on both games....but I pick on the game I like better the most lol. Those "this isnt the other game where....." or "at least this doesnt happen like the other game" comments are what gets me...it seems like it happens every thread. So unecessary and silly imo..

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

I honestly cannot understand why people would rip "the other" game.

For me, I'm into NBA 2K10 but I have no problem with NBA Live 10. I do have a problem when someone tells me that NBA Live plays real basketball and 2K10 doesn't. That's just not true. And if I was to say that Live 10 doesn't play real basketball then I'd be wrong as well. But just because I play 2K10 doesn't mean I hate Live or think Live sucks. This has been the best NBA Live in quite some time.

I was on the fence on release day on what game to get. So when I went to Gamestop and played both games I felt NBA 2K10 had enough for me to purchase. The only problem I had with NBA Live was the lack of fast breaking by the CPU. Other than that, Live 10 played a great simulation game. Never in videogame basketball have I seen an illegal screen foul called until I played Live 10. I just wished they had it in 2K10, then it would have been a slam dunk. But there is the point, both games have significant flaws we can point out all day long about. The question is, what flaws are you able to live with? I myself can live without being called for illegal screens BUT I cannot live without the CPU pushing the ball up court whenever I turn the ball over or I miss a shot. That to me plays a significant role in simulation basketball and gives certain teams a variety of play styles. If I turn the ball over against the Lakers in Live I still have a chance to recover from my mistake. In 2K10, they will make you pay.

This has been the best brand of pro basketball we've seen on the video game scene. And your right Pared, it's always nice to have another option if the one your currently playing is not right for you.

Soooo true. But, that's for another forum.

I really think the competition between each company has helped each game. I don't understand why people put down other people because they like another game. That's like someone liking operation flash point more than COD and bashing that person that likes COD. Just makes no sence to me.

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

Great post Pared.

I've played both a lot this season and it's very frustrating when someone jumps all over one game...because a lot of the issues are in both.

Glitchs, balls morphing through players, wrong coloured players / players missing heads...abberational stuff is in both.

There's been a couple of guys jump into just about every thread by copying and pasting the long 2K patch fix list...as if to justify their purchase of LIVE (The great irony being the LIVE patch list is just as long). There's clearly been agendas from some guys this season.

And WTF is the point of agendas?????? Who the hell wants no choice in the future?????

Anyone with a brain would like to see both games thrive and both games to get better each season.

I am all for constructive criticism and I am 100% in favour of guys pushing hard to have bugs fixed...

But the petty stuff has been just that this season...

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

I'm personally enjoying both games this season. I play Live for its Dynamic Season(which is tight) and NBA 2K10 for the Association and My Player(loooove this feature). All I'm doing now is waiting for both patches to (hopefully) improve their gameplay and then I'll be in bball bliss.

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

Haha I knock 2k10 a lot, because it cost me $45. I payed $60 for it returned it, but only got $15 back. Made me furious! Don't know why I did that deal, should've just kept it for the patch. And it sounds like they made more contact animations and fixed the double teams. I am an idiot! So I have to make myself feel better by telling myself the game has bad defense.

I actually don't really knock it all, by saying it sucks but I complain about its problems a little. I didn't buy Live, so I don't even talk about it much. I do talk about how if 2k had Lives defensive rotations it would be Game of the Year though. And if Live had 2Ks association it would be Game of the Year.

I hate the "Live sucks! They're players look like plastic! That's an arcade game!" Is it just me or does it mostly seem Pro-2k? Maybe I'm blind and not seeing the pro-Live posts. But it seems there is 2k police.

Re: Question for those who constantly knock the "other" game.

I never understood it either. I enjoy 2K10 but that doesn't mean ill spend every opportunity trying to bash Live.

Surprised this thread is this short though since I would think the people who spend their time bashing the other game the most would be in here.
