NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2

Re: NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2

I didnt see any robotic movement at all..

At times the player movements don't look natural they still look very stiff and awkward. It might be that I'm so used to 2k. 2k's player movement, especially on-ball looks so much more natural and fluid to me. I don't know if their motion capturing is better or what. Hopefully Live continues to work on that. I've already seen improvement.

Like I said all that's superficial and I can look past that if Live doesn't have any gamebreaking glitches user v. user and they deliver on everything I'm seeing because rebounding/defense, dribbling and off-ball play are areas nba 2k struggles at big time.

The one area Live 10 has impressed me with realistic movement is off ball. Based on all the vids I've seen Live 10 has the most realistic off-ball movement I've ever seen in a nba game.

I didn't make a "2k post" -- heck I didn't even say 2k in my thread.

I said that I may have to get both games this year because LIVE looks pretty darn good.

I just think that Da Czar did a positives only video and didn't give us both sides of the coin. I also felt like this wasn't a true "Da Czar" video because of how he sounded at the end with his little disclaimer and "LIVE IS BACK" thing.

And the reason my sig isn't updated is because I don't slave over it all day.


P.S... You proved my point, why in the first place is Da Czar now doing LIVE only videos? That's all I'm asking. YOU are the one who read into my post. I tried to tread really lightly with my first post but you obviously took some imaginary bait that I laid out there.

LIVE looks fantastic and I look forward to the Demo. Is that good enough for you? My question was directed at Da Czar, not NBA LIVE!!!!

Back to your regularly scheduled program everyone.

EA invited him out to preview the game and give his unbias opinion.

He's obviously excited over the game and skepticism like this is natural... but I was in the same boat last year. You enjoy the game early on and want to share that with your fellow community members. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure the comparison videos will come out later in the year.

I agree. It's always come down to small things which is usually the case when you are used to one type of game and then play another. I really like the on ball defense in the videos though because like Da Czar said, the CPU reacted to you and not WITH you. Look forward to getting a good look tomorrow.

Good enough for me. It doesn't matter anyway I guess because it all comes down to how the game feels to you etc.

Features like the D League and 10 day contracts have me excited for 2k's association while the overhaul of LIVE definitely has me anticipating tomorrow.

I'm playing 2k10 today at a 2k event and I would be crazy to think that people wont think the same thing about me if i have nothing but praise for the game.

His wishlist had nothing to do with his comment.

Thats how you see it, thats cool. I wasn't clear on saying that the one guy made a 2k post. There are all sorts of post made in here with 2k references. However this particular guy evan's post with some sort of conspiracy tone to it was only made more amusing when I noticed the "wishlist". Don't see the irony in that???

czar has said it over and over though, that he's not going to touch the comparisons until he can play the other game. He's also said something to the effect of not wanting to sound so "glowing" in his assesment. But it's cool. I hope you come back with a "glowing" review of 2k. My point was that Im not fanboying any of these games. Im just a hoops junkie.

Re: NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2

They are not passing these Czarisodes off as game reviews. He's not going to highlight the flaws, that's not the point of these vids. You've got to wait for reviews for that.

Great video once again. I am really looking forward to the Defensive version, so see how we can stop the fluid offense.

When is this going up on Youtube? I saw the first one on the OS Channel, but not this one yet.

You caught me, my conspiracy to win people over to 2k10 has been outed! Dang! And I was promised .20 for every copy that 2k sold this year!!!

I bought my first ever next-gen BASKETBALL game last year (2k) after I saw my brother playing it. This year I am attempting to tell my brother that LIVE looks pretty darn good this year and am winning him over to that side.

When are you going to just relax and talk freely about games? There is no conspiracy. People naturally are going to feel like they HAVE to like something that they've spent their cash on, but right now, no money is on the table... Both games have yet to be released and it's a fresh start for both 2k and EA, I can't wait to try out the Demo tomorrow and I look forward to 2k sharing theirs as well.

I do appreciate the credit towards such a high act of espionage!

Let me explain to you my point. I've been to EA and 2k events and they are all the same. You play the game for hours. The things that are great stand out to you. You ask the developers about certain issues in the game and they all say "That will be fixed by release" or "We will fix that in the first patch". You take their word for it and downplay the issues because you have been assured they would be fixed. Ive seen it with past 2k games. Pared saw it last year with Live. I see nothing wrong with someone questioning a preview as long as they arent disrespectful.

Re: NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2

I can't wait to see how the defense works. Hopefully there are some equally effective counters to the office.

Re: NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2

I just like the neutral Czar, because he's basically declaring a winner before seeing the other game this year.

I forsee this last part becoming an issue especially for those who only started watching during the battleground series

so i posted this to clarify

hahaha sorry guys i meant to post this blog instead of that video..

Re: NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2

I may be getting both games this year... haha....

BTW, when did the Czar start doing PR for Live? Was it before or after they flew him out to their studios? I know that he doesn't have another game to play, but it sounds like

1. He's getting a free copy of the game this year.
2. He was defending how the game 'looked' in that final slide instead of letting us form our own opinion.

C'mon man -- that's just reaching big time......

Why let you form your own opinion on something when you can get the facts straight from the horses mouth? If you formed your own opinion, ultimitely you'd be wrong...

Bingo.

The lack of issues being addressed come release comes off as very disappointing. But what Aaron described happens to a "T." Whether it be with EA, 2k or Sony.

Ultimately you, the gamer, has to make your own decision. We're just here to help you along the way and help you "get your fix."
