NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

I'm really loving the "New" look to NBA live 10. I say new because it is new for Live. This will probably be the best Live game to date. I'm really feeling the Sig animations (pierce), (Bron Bron), and (M. Williams) in particular.

I know Live wont have tip-dunks.....thats ok since i didnt see that many in 2k9.....but seeing the tip dunks in the 2k combine made me realize what i was missing...it gave me that "Oh S*** feel....didnt see that coming feel.....Hopefully Live will have this mechanic perfected for 11'

Back to the vid'.....I Love the organ sound effect after made baskets in the "Garden" gives you that real game feel, which is what we all want. Question to Devs...are there others arenas like this that you havent mentioned before? Like in Cleveland when someone scores they all have a mix or song

On the flip side some things I did notice is that the arena sounds are not arena specific

I know its not a BIG deal to many but its an "enviroment kill" for me personally. I mean dont get me wrong I love that they are even in the game....especially since 2k even hasnt put them in their game yet (but Chase or someone did say that they have MSG's organ in there for 2k10) I long for the day the devs can emulate this in the game to the TEE. This goes a long way in the presentation department. I dont wanna have the same sound effects as my rival friend that always picks the Lakers or any of my other rivals that I play against....we should have our own unique sound. Kinda goes into that home court edge Pyshicee when your playing in an arena that you just HATE, lol .I thought adding this would be easy to do thats all.

-Of the sound effects i heard for "Defense", the 1st one (originated from the Bulls back in 94'.....and now other teams use it now like the Cavs, Houston, Bulls to name a few)

-the 2nd one is used at the Spurs arena (when Moe will shoots his fall away jumpshot off the backboard)

Those are my nitpicks...

Other than that I love the way it looks, it looks like a real broadcast and its definately smoother than any live on the Next Gen.

....I really cant wait to play this game

Overall, I'm impressed with the video. The game isn't going to be perfect, I'm still amazed at the progress that was made in a 1 year cycle.

Yup. I'm as excited as anybody else, but people have to have realistic expectations. Luckily for me, at the end of the day I know I'm playing a video game of basketball, and so my expectations are realistic. I don't let some minor sliding, or a block or two with the forearm, or wrong color arm sleeve for ray allen, or minor things here and there ruin the experience. People like to throw "gamekiller" around too much, heh. OMG the net splashed the wrong way!!!!! OMG KG bent his knees too much!!! OMG OMG!! Coach Nelson looks 20 pounds skinnier!!! OMG the jersey font is slightly off!!!!

Live 09 was solid overall, and Live 10 is looking better in every facet of the game.

i don't mind reading the comments when it's something that's clearly a problem, like the very little bit of sliding which i can deal wit especially on defense because you don't really plant your feet hard unless u just got shook out of your boots and your trying to recover, but the little nitpicking clogs the room and keeps people from talking about the things that should be added or taken away. the one thing i would love to see is the on contact dunks as well as the of ones that are already there. i do like the fact that when a guy goes up to dunk sometimes the defender jumps and it looks as if he has the oh **** why did i jump syndrome and somewhat holds himself back, i love the player models especially close up the models and skin texure looks very close to real skin. good job on using the fight night tech to pull that off. my brother was a non believer as well then when i showed him this vid he said it looked like a live broadcast, and now along with me he can't wait to rekindle those days when we used to play live (live 98 that is)religiously. the speed seems about right if u watch alot a basketball especially teams that are real aggressive like the warriors or the rockets when mcgrady is healthy they seem to move a more uptempo speed than other teams.

i have a Bro-Crush on Mike Wang. He's restored the love I had for this series, once upon a time.

Nitpicking is what got Live to this point.

All nitpicking is important. If someone doesn't like Garnett's dunk, then he doesn't like it. He has the right to say, "Garnett doesn't dunk like that." It just means that perhaps the Live team needs to work on adding more dunk packages for player types. Which by the way was not a part of basketball games five years ago. Nitpicking got both major developers to finally look into it.

What really clogs the thread is arguments and the "other" game bashing posts.

Clear thought out posts makes the cut not silly nit picks like there are too many backboard layups (when in fact the last version had none) and then saying a guys feet should be lined up with the floor.

yes its one mans opinion but not one shared by the majority and one I dont think is something that will ruin the gameplay like something such as doing Dominique windmills out of context left handed.

Im all for adding tons of contextual dunks and layups and whatever else they can get in the game, but pointing out some garbage and ignoring everything else we've seen as far as improvements are concerned is just blah.

I don't do that.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Count me in as impressed. There are some really good things in the vid. If I get Live, the first thing I'm shutting off is that cut cam though lol. It might take them another year to get the animations to my liking, but the controls from 09 (if it hasn't gotten worse) more than make up for it for now.

I do wonder how the post game works. IMO, it looks better in this vid than it did in that rookie video a while back.

Good work, definately considering a purchase depending on the demos.

Yo WTF. This game looks pretty damn good. Was it this hot last year? Damn, I might have to cop it this year.

Yo Pappy Knuckles... This game does look pretty good. Haha...

But seriously guys, critiques are critiques. But honestly, some of the smaller critiques that I've seen are pitiful. At least we aren't seeing players warping into one another, 360 dunks in traffic, terrible animations, etc. Just subtle differences. Granted, Garnett doesn't dunk like shown in the video as often, however he does have the ability and athleticism to do it.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

The nitpicks are basically overlooked unless it's something blatant that needs addressed. How often does that happen? The dunking a certain way (KG) is about the same nitpick as Howard dribbling between his legs. Both CAN do IRL, but you rarely see it. Neither make or break the game for me. As I stated earlier, I'm impressed with the progress and will be purchasing both games.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Really pumped for these new vids to come out now!

**Peninc** · 08-31-2009, 08:00 PM

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

At this point ...all I want to ask is please....the bouncing up and down animation after a made basket....please reduce how often this is seen during the game. In every video shown so far I have seen that animation. I'm almost tired of it already and Ive not yet played the game. Its a nitpick but hey I'm a fan
