What needs work: When you press the shoot button it seems if you just caught the ball the player immediately jumps into form which is unrealistic since he has to catch and feel the ball and plant his feet first. Other than that, I think its almost official, NBA LIVE 10 spoils 2K's anniversary lmao

They had a Bobcats scene in there? I don't think Tyson Chandler was in there.

not true. Most athletic players can shoot while they're moving without planting their feet and "squaring up" (kobe, etc.). you don't have to come to a complete stop and plant both feet before you shoot. players shoot in rythm and shoot while moving all the time. That is what is great about Live's shooting - you can actually pull off these quick "moving jumpers", as opposed to 2k's sluggish shooting where you have to wait an eternity for the player to stop, plant his feet, square up, and shoot a slow jumper. Live's ability to shoot quick, moving jumpers is the way to go - much more responsive, and satisfying -and more realistic.

the idea that every jumper must be a slow, both-feet-planted "square up" jumper is a myth started by the 2k community to justify sluggish animations. Sorry, but real NBA players shoot on the move all the time (fades, moving right, moving left, off balance, off one leg, etc.). In fact, many athetic players (kobe for example) shoot moving shots more often than they shoot stand-still "squared up" jumpers.

Yeah he made a mistake there isnt any footage of the Bobcats. I think he is refering to the pass Paul made to Mo Pete.

Everything looked generally nice aside from the Richard Jefferson dunk. There is no sense of weight in terms of catching, planting and going up. He just gets the ball, takes his steps and his body rises. The animation has no sense of momentum - i don't know if thats the right word to describe it, but you can see that its off. It is an issue with the dunks in general in the game, though it seems like they've cleaned it up for the most part it defintely takes away from fun for me when I the dunks are like that. Extra shame since Tony Parker gave him the nicest dish of all time.

I am actually really impressed! The only thing that can impress me more is a video highlighting DEFENSE!!! Dwight Howard is on the box, so I wanna see some vicious blocks! And some great steals by Chris Paul!!!! We all know the offense is usually on point!
