POSITIVES:
NEGATIVES:
-The passing sucks. The way they hand it off to each other , the way they pass to each other overall. Just looks bad. The A.I. player fails to disrupt a pass that's right in front of him.
For example starting 0:59 , Wade + Marshall bounce pass to each other right through two defenders. Those two defenders got their pixels disrespected.
-The shot blocking does not look good at all . 
So many instances where defenders just swing at nothing. Like they swing the opposite way the ball is going .
- One thing that kills some of the immersion for me is that players receive passes without even looking. Just watch any fastbreaks in that video and you'll see what i'm talking about. Players just stare straight into oblivion on fastbreaks.
- The commentary is bad. Marv just doesn't seem right.
I laughed how Marv Knew Derozon's injury before it even occurred.
-There's no umph on those rims when a player dunks . The net animations are lacking.
Overall I applaud the devs for improving Live but i'm still not sold on buying it. I'll probably rent it.

For guys on the fence on making a purchase This is very very important. All throughout the piece I wrote i said over and over again that live is not perfect. I also talked about playing the game vs looking at the game or something similar. I using Dave's comments because these are real issues for him to illustrate a point but also help guys on the fence so this is not a Defend every point type of deal.
For ever so so or bad animated shot block in live there are some that are amazing.
Can you find any ...any nba game that every single pass that could be blocked or knocked away actually is ????
Players receiving passes without looking. That's not right. but are they passes that if the head tracking was working correctly they would be able to catch in real life ?
What nba game can you not find parts where the commentators are out of sync with the actual game ???
Some dunks have no umph and some just look vicious.(he's got a point here though because i don't recall seeing ANY rocket dunks in 2k9)
For Dave live 10 may not be a great game to play because of how it looks. But if you consider that some of these things will continue to occur in any basketball game that is made. How many of these things will effect the outcome of a game your playing to the point of negating everything the game does well.
live 10 does some amazing things but when I or others say its not perfect this is what we mean.
A pass though a leg here or there (again in every game) , A dunk here or there without that explosion.
He's got me on blocks though because 2k9's blocks are basically flawless...LOL
but besides that if these things are not gamebreakers for YOU your really going to be so involved with the mental and stratigical aspects of the game to really really notice more of the bad things in the game than the good.
That is the break-through point in live. However if seeing those things at ALL in your game ruin the experience then def def look closely at every game this year before making your purchase..
this is almost a perfect post to demonstrate where live 10 is not perfect. To ME it simply suffers from things hoops games have always and will always ( except for dunks and blocks cause 2k has proven to do both consistently).
So hopefully that can help guys on the fence in addition to the demo's and such.
i would expect His or any of our breakdown of ANY game would have a similar list with a few things exchanged.
especially if we break out the ol' video cameras and start ta capturing.
