    Re: NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

    great to hear you plan to release a czarisode wednesday!!

    exactly how many are you planning? based on your exclusive playtest alone? as i imagine you will be doing more after the demo drops and you have more time with it.

    i know 2k10 is going to be a great game, so really dont care about seeing tons of footage and stuff. live is the game making the comeback so all the videos and opinions i can get on that game the better

      Thanks for your coverage...A couple of questions on the game:

      1. Baseline Exploitation - Is this an area that has been addressed?...in previous versions it was far too easy to go baseline and score at will.

      2. Transition Defense - Do forwards and Centers get back on D as they should?...Last year it killed me to see Yao Ming outrunning Amare or other smaller post players in the transition game.

      3. Manual Rebounding/Boxiing out - Talk to me about it...Does it work and did you feel like you could have a manual impact on going for bounds?

      4. Zone Defenses - Your thoughts on how they were implemented in the game...effective and more importantly over-effective???

      5. Mid Range game - I always thought most cyber hoop games were too many dunks and too many 3's...How does the mid range game feel in LIVE

      Thats all dogg and looking forward to Czarisodes
      Dat Swag what up Family ???

      1. Was not an issue at all that I saw. Hated that glitch myself.
      2. From what I remember the individual momentum took care of that. now i must admit i didn't get a ton of fastbreaks ( they are fixed don't worry) I don't recall seeing anything ridiculous as far as being chased down by a big.

      3.Yes it works . it takes some time to get used to as I am using to hitting the trigger or pulling down on the right stick to box out. Once you get used to it its very cool to use. Rebounds are one of my favorite area's in Live 10. Snatch rebounds baby. Just seemed to be a good variety of ways guys were pulling down the boards.

      4. Did not play against any zones for too long. Would need more time to give an accurate answer.

      5 The mid range game in live 10 is best I have ever seen. It's really a combination of many many things but live 10 is really a battle of the midrange because its not easy to dribble in the paint without it getting stolen or knocked away. And the cpu D will play off of guys getting to the basket so that most times your going to have to hit that mid range to get them more aggressive to beat them to the basket....Like I said hands down best ever so far (please remember I have not played 2k10 and that is excluded. I talking about every game i have ever actually played)

      LOVED live 10 mid range game !!!

How does the A.I. respond to clutch time situations? I never really played live 09 to long to see how it was in the clutch but from experiences with 2K where the A.I. just doesn't seem to have a sense of urgency in the clutch, I was wondering if Live 10's A.I. has that clutch time logic to try and get quick baskets when trailing in a close game. Appreciate it in advance man.
        AD2084 ! The jury is still out on this one. That is an area I would really need to be focused on to give you the goods I know your looking for in this area.

        I will say that I had no Head scratching moments when playing the game coming down to the wire. I did give this example earlier where in one 4th qtr game i was being blown out by the lakers and Kobe was passive.

        In another game I had them down like 8 with the cav's and he came out in the 4th and literally took over the game. Now by the time it came down to the wire they had stretched me to a 10 point deficit. I will def be looking at this closely once my game gets here and i can get some full 12 minute focused games going on.

          have a quick question; will you be releasing a czarisode on wednesday?

          basically i will be leaving thursday morning for a week and wont get intenernet access for 10 days. although no problem if your busy and all and cant answer it

          anyway it should be a great year for bball games, i know 2k10 will be great, and if live plays as good as it looks then ill have a massie smile on my face for months.

          oh and congrats on the baby

          Thank you so much for the kind words family !!! Its sincerely appreciated. I am trying like nobodys business to make sure the show is out by tomorrow. There are some "corporation" issues that may prevent that but the entire goal was to have the shows out before the demo drops. Everything that can be done is being done to make that happen.

          i think the live team has a greater respect for how much work it actually takes to produce my type of show now than before... just my opinion though.

            During the main games was there anyway to choose a flashy dunk,basic dunk etc.? I know they've been reduced,just wondering about the control or even if it's like lay ups and you can choose right,left or 2 hands?
            If there was a way to choose the type of dunk then i don't know how to do it. They all seemed contextual.

              1) Did you feel challenging shots on D affect offensive success more realistically in Live 10, unlike 09?

              2) Did they fix the substitutions during free throws? In 09 you couldn't properly sub players in between free throws (please tell me this is fixed).

              Thanks.
              1. definitely. that is the whole challenge though because if they keep that dribble and you close out hard your going to get beat.... Loved that part of the game.

              2. Don't know. during freethrows i was taking notes and such. but demo will be out soon so you can verify then.

                I'm pretty sure I remember hearing they were in fact contextual. Each player has some sort of "dunk package" of what they can or can't do (sort of like the dribbling packages). Don't quote me on anything, but I think I remember one of the devs talking about this at one point...where it depends on the player, traffic, situation, and momentum etc.

                I could also have things mixed up with another game.

                  i had 3 planned originally. however the second one that I capture for Beluba did last week on the shooting controls so that Got scrapped. Right now it looks like just one before the demo drops. The 3rd wouldn't be necessary after people have the game. Some may still have enjoyed it. there is an outside chance it gets though the process in time.

                        It's DaCzar, Its DaCzar, ItsDaCzar.....


                        vital question: before, you had to pretty much alter every team's playbook in order to force them to go to their best players.

                        Do the guys who are supposed to be taking the shots, take the shots?

                          Czar, is it fair to say that Live is the closest game you've played (again, excluding 2K10 since you haven't seen it) to living up to the quote in your sig?

                          "It's about representing the game, and rewarding people for being students of the game. A simulation is a game of basketball problems solved by basketball solutions."

                          Seems like it to me from reading all of this, but wanted your thoughts. The whole thing about knowing each player's individual momentum and how certain guys have faster moves and more explosiveness than others, Synergy playing directly into shot %s, tempo having a huge impact on the game, massive playbooks with authentic sets... Just looks like it's got enough tools to live up to that for the most part.

                          The post where you talked about getting a mismatch with Arenas and burning Gasol then having problems with Jamison with the same matchup due to his limited ball-handling... that screams "basketball solution" to me.

                              They announced Sept. 10th awhile ago. Sept. 17th for ps3 users, unfortunately.
