Ahhh got you man.... Now that sounds resonable.

One of the things that has me excited is that they said in that interview they had beluba on an "incubation"(sp) team. Hopefully that also involved getting him familiar with all the in engines they have in house (fifa ,madden, etc) and how he can leverage that technology. In addition by the time they had their meetings on live 10 I bet B already had a clear vision for what could be accomplished this year with gameplay.

That plus the fact that they are sharing the engine with the ncaa basketball crew means we can expect a much more mature engine in 2010 because it has been worked on practically year around. Add all that on top of dna and the outstanding playbooks and it should be impossible for them to not make this the best live in the series... not to mention the procedural awareness and the crap load of animations
stephensonmc hinted why would worry about lack of animations with B on board and I have got my popcorn and 6 pack and a leave slip all ready 4 2010...LOL

I totally agree with you. I only brought Live this year on the 360 because somebody misspelled it on ebay and I brought it new for 27 bucks in November. Glad I did because it is a good game. It's not perfect but what game is. The NBA Live Team laid a good foundation this year and I only see it getting better next year.

The animations and bad locomotion bad passing. Horrible rim physics, suction defense and scrawny player models in addition to the severly limited animations all together after playing for a few months can make this game unplayable. not that it is a bad game. if you want to like it there is certainly enough there to do that but there just isn't enough there currently to make the game as good as you seem to claim. Remember I actually like live 09 for the potential it shows but that doesn't mean its great in its current state. I do think live 10 will be exceptional but a year away from genius.

Good Post.
Me personally, I cant play this game, I just cant take it....but you have got to love the potential.

Great article.

This game is a huge leap forward...but it's still not close to 'season worthy'.

It's on track though...
