Count me in as officially "not playing".

I waited until after the patch and really gave the game a chance...but there's just so much missing from a basketball game. It's the 2010 season, but much of this game feels like 2004. The CPU never makes the extra pass, so much one pass and shoot...rebounding is terrible...transition game needs a lot of work still...i block a shot and the CPU guys all stand there looking into the crowd whilst the ball is on the floor next to them...generic post game...Shaq shooting fadeaways...the 3 point shot being the main weapon...players standing out of bounds...no real depth of coaching options (please add in LIVE 11 the ability to change each team via a coaches menu)...same animations over and over and over again in the paint regardless of which player...no real emphasis on weight, Shaq can be backed down by anyone...........and a lot of other things.

This game has hit a massive wall for me...and I'm pretty sure that's because I played LIVE 09 a lot and that game had all of these issues. I am dissapointed that so many things from LIVE 09 weren't adressed, whilst others were made much worse (post game in LIVE 09 was actually better than LIVE 10...)

I got to the point where I really disliked a lot about the game...so I traded it in yesterday.

I really disliked NBA 2K9 last season and played LIVE 09 more than the other game...but this season I find myself really enjoying the other one, so there's no need to keep both. As Pared will testify,six months ago I was on the record here as saying LIVE 10 would be the better game. I was very, very wrong. I am really dissapointed they left in so much of the garbage that was in LIVE 09 after the producers posted repeatedly here that all that stuff would be removed and fixed.

I hope the EA team really sit down and realise that a pretty good half court game isn't going to cut it anymore. They need to realise there's a hell of a lot more to basketball than the ability to blow by your defender with a crossover. They need to work on blocks, boarding, defense, game pace....and please add some genuine hustle and a post game. Missing so many things was acceptable in 2005, but it isn't in 2010.

Still playing. The game is a lot of fun and will get better once the kinks in Dynamic Season are ironed out and the 2nd patch drops.

The OP just made a observation and asked a question man...lol...I could see if he was flaming the game....

Not playing anymore. I'm not sure what it is but the game has gotten VERY stale to me. I can't finish games anymore and I'm not having fun like I did when I first got it.

I think once the second patch comes and they've ironed out all the issues I might give it a try again.

Definitely still playing.

Have mixed feelings about the patch. Seemed overly ambitious with a lot of new gameplay additions/changes. It certainly had an impact on the overall feel of the game. I was one of those who really loved this game out of the box. The patch had good and bad parts for me.

But I'm still playing. Elements such as playcalling, offball movement and passing just work so well for me, I couldn't see myself going over to 2K anytime soon. It's kind of like having team control rather than control of an individual and just hoping the AI guesses what you want it to do.
