NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

[Steve_OS]

Da_Czar recently had an opportunity to head out to EA Canada and played a ton of NBA Live 10. Check out his impressions, right here. Two Czarisodes will be available next week.

"Recently your man Da_Czar was invited to go up to EA Canada to have a look at NBA Live 10. While elated to have an opportunity lay my hands on the game early I also had a few demands of the LIVE team on my visit.

I wanted to be certain no one was spiking my kool-aid (berry blu), so I requested that outside of my tour I be locked away and allowed to play with no one telling me “hey this is cool look at this”. To my surprise they had the exact same thing in mind. I was shocked by how open they were with their product. As I always do I will give it too you straight... No chaser... But to the haters of the series that also includes things I enjoyed about the experience."

Very informative write-up. The points about defense have me quite intrigued and anticipating the demo on the 17th.

It's unfortunate that the frontcourt hasn't received the same sort of individualized attention that the guards got, as dribbling was overhauled and each player feels different there but the difference in posting up with Shaq vs Yao isn't as pronounced.

Live takes my excitement of this control to a new level by incorporating individual player momentums ( I know I didn't believe it myself). Each player... EACH player in the game has the ability to “feel” different.

when you control D.Wade and notice how quick his spin move is compared to another wing player you realize that his physical tools will finally be accounted for and that some moves are more effective using him as opposed to another weapon on another team.

In last years game the faulty defensive mechanic allowed you as a defender to close the gap on the offensive player with no fear of being beat. In live 10 closing that gap to stop the jumper can be a precarious situation depending on the match-up. Don't play videogames... play basketball. You will not have an anwer for elite players without using a double team to take the ball out of their hands.

If you thought the playbooks from Live 09 were great I just don't know what to tell you. It is a very surreal experience to see the team your playing run the exact same thing you know they run in real life.

There is nothing wrong with it. I just would like more player specifc individuality in the post up game.

Are you saying big men dont have signature post moves? ugh almost a perfect preview

I am probably not allowed to say this but I feel I must just to set the record straight. Synergy = axiom. PERIOD.
Axiom:a self-evident truth that requires no proof.
The data points from synergy can NOT be competed with. I wish I could tell you more !!!

I'm on my way to Gamestop to pre-order the game.
