Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

Can't wait to blow by people with Derrick Rose...Good looking on the extensive info i wish it was me...Congrats

This is something I can't wait to try out for myself. It actually seemed easier to ME to get to the rack with Derrick than say Chauncy...

Live 10 appears to do so many little things like that were your asking youself man is that real.. If you know what I mean. There is so much variation between how each player feels and plays that it will take awhile to "figure out" things like that.

Game was very very organic. I never felt like I had it figured out. Now truthfully I switched to a bunch of different teams and played many different opponents so maybe if you get the game and just play as one team vs one other team you will be able to get the game figured out. hope that makes sense. I actually can't wait until you guys get the demo.

Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

czar, are you allowed to answer gameplay questions yet?

I want to know how the shots felt. Different arcs? Balls rattling in? Bouncing around the rim etc.?

Were you able to use the freestyle passing effectively? Did it feel natural or was it too flashy?

Did you see the Triangle offense in action?

Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

this article sounds so good it makes me want to cry...I have waited so long for EA to bring Live back to it's greatness and from what I am reading and seeing they are getting that swag back.

swag is def back man. Just the sheer amount of jerseys and shoes and the new menu's all have a certain flavor. Its like they brought back that live 05 type flavor.

Visually I know i won't tire of this game. The player models to me (i'm no player model expert) are 10 times better than last year. when the game loads up I got that old excited feeling. It felt good and if nothing else the game was just flat fun to play. I think its all the variations.

HA! I am glad to hear that my short demo impressions haven't fooled me. Did you see anything about Dynamic Season Mode since you played the final version? Well I guess even if, you probably wouldn't be allowed to talk about it. However superb write-up. Love reading your stuff...

and congratulations...!!!

Czar - See, I JUST posted a comment or 2 in recent days about how the difference for Live 10 could the controls AND DNA/365 because we can get a good feel of how the game looks and animates by all the vids which is pretty damn good and you just CONFIRMED it.

No hate toward 2K but this game sounds like BASKETBALL and I had already thought that Live had a better control scheme and felt more like basketball as well as the play calling and other things although it lacked in animations, details and presentation but now EA is taking ish to a whole nuva level!! I am beyond siked for this game, now, as it already had me more interested than 2K's offering, this year. Next Thursday seems mile and miles away.

Great write up, Czar and you really sounded like you were keeping it real. Like someone said, it was as if I could hear your voice saying the words instead of me reading them. Nice...

Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

Great read! Everytime I read a word of it, I can just hear Czar's slow voice after each letter....I wanted to start laughing that I had that stuck in my membranes..

Overall enjoyed this write up, great news and info and entertaining!

Bshadows YOU... YOU are going to LOVE this game man. After all the lives you played that I thought were almost unplayable your in for a treat man !!!

if your a fan of the live series. This is the one to play. If you thought live 09 had any redeeming merit This is the live to play. (remember I am talking about fans here. Not that they will like anything. that is not what I'm saying. Just if your a fan you will really enjoy the effort put forth this year.

Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

Did you play 12 minute quarters and if so in the past it would result in unrealistic stats and game scores. Can you explain how this ISN'T the case with Live 10. I'm a realism junky so i'm really loving the idea of the longer quarters resulting in a more authentic end result, just doesn't sound possible for a basketball game.

On another not EA you have to implement an in game save option, 48 minutes is a lot of time and I don't always want to leave the console on when my daughter or girlfriend bug me..... get my point. Can't wait for this game to consume me!

inkpimp I only played a few games on 12 minutes because of the time. I think i may have taken that part out of the article. The cpu just doesn't warp though the game. They will sometimes walk the ball up the court. Sometimes a star will get the ball and break a play and iso you and run clock out. It the most like playing another human I have seen since inside drive.

Again once I get the game here i can play and play and play and then get a true feel for how it does it. But it may through some of you off who are used to the cpu playing an 8 minute game scoring the same amount of points as a 12 min game in real life. It just a neat thing to see but it also takes some adjusting to get used to.

Now a golden state game might have a higher score than your averages because they do not mess around. I am very interested to go back in the with a half court team and see if I can command the tempo for 48 minutes.

Simply put live 10 is quite a different experience from what I can remember. Normally when I play I use my extensive game library (Shawdows may be the only one who has a bigger library than me LOL) to compare and contrast and that helps me get some context around what I am seeing. I was not able to do that in Canada so I truly look forward to gaining more perspective as I play here.

Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

Yeah stumble I meant left stick that controls player movement. Sorry about that guys diff pressure on the left stick and it was very consistent. forgive typos I'm at the hospital mrs czar just delivered a brand new future sim gamer so I'm on my phone. It was really a fresh and new experience. I played my left thumb raw. Not trying to overhype just pour what I thought as purely as possible out there for you to hopefully get what you need indivually from an information stand point.

I was reminded the most of inside drive when playing that. New passing control is the Bidness can't believe I left that out complete game hanged As far as passing controls go.

Congrats on the baby fam. my little one just turned 3 months this week!
