    I think that is a company philosophy. 2k concentrated on the big picture why EA tends to do a few things really well.

    Like you have been saying Live does half court ball so much better than 2k but teh whole package is 2k.

        2k half court is not so bad, plus this is not Euro ball, so things that 2k does well (fast breaks, star domination, post play...) are more important for great NBA game.

          I can play 12 min quarters and get fairly realistic stats with live but other than that 2k10 wins hands down in just about every category for me.

          I'm having a great time in my association and My Player and this game will easily keep my hoop game needs in check untill next season.

            I play 12 minutes in 2K and get great stats (except high assists)...

              A month ago, I would have said Live. It's been a lot of fun, but now I've gone back to 2K. I think it's more of a comfort level. I'm keeping Live, though. I love to check in with that dynamic season. That alone gives it a new sim experience 2K doesn't, but 2K gets the overall nod from me. The animations still are too much of a gap when I think about the sim aspect.
              After more than eight years on here, I finally figured out how to edit my time zone!

                On default sliders for each game, it's Live. In 2k, it is too easy to manipulate and go down the middle for a jam. You can't do this in Live because the help defense is a lot better. 2k is also plagued by the same problem it's had forever...it is almost impossible to attempt corner threes. In Live, you can spread the floor and kick it out to the corners for open threes when the defense collapses. I also think that the CPU defense makes a lot more adjustments in Live, compared to 2k.

                Live's strong points have been minimized due to a crappy second patch, crappy animations, and a bare bones franchise mode. On the court, it does a lot of things right.

                  Did the 2nd patch drop finally?

                    My bad, I meant the first patch. I haven't really had issues with it yet but I'm aware of the issues that others have been having.

                      im getting tired of live already (sadly). the chopiness of the animations are getting to me and i miss 2k. live has a lot of potential. expect next year's live to be insane.

                      btw i hope i can get a ride to walmart at like 4 in the morning for 2k10 haha.

                        The more i play nba 2k10 the more i like it. It's a superb game imo.

                          I am with you mate. The more I play it, the more I really love 2K10.

                          I played a game late last night v the Magic...and it was seriously the best game of NBA basketball I've ever played.

                          The depth in this game is stunning.

                          I am still seeing so many new things in 2K10...close on two months after first playing it, new stuff. That's insane

                          LIVE 10 hit a massive wall after a few weeks. It has no depth at all, unfotunately. Exact same stuff over and over again. Post players especially are just way, way too generic.

                              I used to be a huge live fan. But since the next generation, I just can't stop playing 2k. I am not a 2k fan nor am I an EA boy I enjoy all sporting games but too me with the right sliders 2k just does it for me.

                                A great example of this was watching that Spurs vs Celtics game last night. Watching Rondo strip Tony Parker as he went in for what looked like an easy layup. Ball hits off of Tony body out of bounds...Celtics ball. Just thinking to myself..."Wow I just did before in 2k (In the NBA Today Mode)" The game is just amazing.
