How is Rashard rated 85 but Vince only rated 83? averages more points and assists.

I highly doubt many people would say Rashard is a better player than Vince.

Because Rashard gives better effort on the defensive side of the ball, doesn't choke away playoff games like Carter does, and he can sometimes be a useful post up man.

Hustle plays are cool, but there are times when the hustle kicks in and it's not needed. For example, Kobe would have had an easy breakaway dunk, but instead he dove for the ball (Seen it about 4 times)

just like 2k lol.

Choke in the playoffs?

Vince plays incredible in the playoffs, why don't you go check out his playoff averages? http://www.nba.com/playerfile/vince_...eer_stats.html he averaged 27+ for 4 years straight.

Rashard wasn't known for anything before playing next to Dwight Howard, let's not forget that. He was an 18 PPG scorer on a bad Sonics team, and he's an 18 PPG scorer on a great Orlando team, Rashard hasn't changed as a player. Vince averages 1 steal per game btw, as does Rashard. There is not much evidence to state Rashard is a much superior defender to Vince; they are both average.

Vince can beat any SG off the dribble and he's an incredible shooter, he's a much better offensive option than Lewis. Lewis can post up and it doesn't even translate into higher assist numbers, go figure? He chucks 3's and he converts them at a high rate, Vince is much more well rounded.

only on those going out of bounce ball....

They should give us the control to press the shoot button when the ball get deflected halfcourt to dive for it, if not just run toward and pick it up no need for hustling

I hope they fix the hustle plays as well as the other issues because this is sounding like an entirely different game from last year. Shows EA put alot of work in. Cant wait to see some gameplay vids steve

overall player ratings mean nothing in Live as they are comprised of dozens of ratings that are equally weighted. Additionally you can't compare different positions and 83 SG is not same as 83 PF. Don't worry about the ratings.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Good write up Steve, thanks for the info!

**RayDog253** · 08-21-2009, 11:10 AM

Wow.....I can't wait, the new controls, the new animations and all the little things. It's going to be crazy fun this year, and this is all from a demo.

How does that make sense? so a 97 rating for Kobe and a 93 rating for Howard is not overall indicative of how good they are as a player? I see little reason to believe what you just said. especially when Synergy provides them with a wealth of info on what each player is good and weak at.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Guys, the ratings argument stops NOW.

This thread is about the Live impressions. Stop side-tracking it.

Create a new thread STRICTLY for ratings if you'd like.

No more ratings talk guys. Lets keep this on topic. Last warning.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

Steve, do you take questions? I want to know more about on-ball/perimeter defense - is there a lot of contact, esp when players are driving to the lane? Or is it "invisible force field" like?

Great write-up btw, thanks!

Illegal screen? Wow.

Hate that they still don't have number indicators for the sliders though, but it's minor.
