NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

[ehh]

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

Vechi, you're the only reason I even put in Live tonight, thanks for the heads up in the NCAA '10 forum about the update and improved play. I mean the Knicks/Lakers game I played blew the pants off anything I've seen in NCAA '10 so far. It was beautiful basketball, all of the idiotic CPU weirdness on offense was no where to be found.

It will be interesting to see what Patch 2 brings to the table. It may take this game two and a half months to get to its peak but it could be a helluva game by then. It's also sad that it took so long for the DNA to be corrected and that so many people have given up on this game. EA either needs to release this game mid-November or really tweak their DNA so it's not royally effed up when the game comes out in early October.

Dammit ehh! You're making me want to go out and pick this up again. I sold it for NCAA the other day and I'm liking the game except for the CPU's lack of variety when it passes in the post. I may have to pick this up for the ps3 tomorrow.

True. I'm gonna give ncaa some time to work itself out cause it will, and enjoy this. I had an awesome game against Atlanta, jumped out 18-3, they would tie it, I'd open up 12 point leads, then they kicked my a__ in the end. Best a__ kicking that I've ever had. Hard to criticize anything that I saw in terms of gameplay, stats were about dead on

If you can wait until Friday and get it at BB for $35 or you can get it at Target for $45. I feeling the same way only difference I am enjoying the heck out of NCAA 10. I was hoping Live 10 would get back into the action.

Haha, just wait a little bit man. I'll be honest with you, give me a week or so to make sure that I'm not seeing/imagining things. Let me check out more than just the Lakeshow too, since they're the most popular team in the league they may be getting some special treatment from EA.

Kobe finished with 44 against me, neither Bynum or Gasol took a shot outside of 15', Ron Ron didn't do much on O cept his usual random jacked jumper here and there and garbage bucket. I assume this is what EA had in mind with the DNA.

And NCAA is rough with the post play, just can't play a game long term with that type of issue.

Yeah for real, I mean I was ripping this game 8-10 days ago. I had had enough with the ******** DNA, lack of true DNA and ratings updates and bizzarre nonsense from the CPU offense. That stuff seems to all be in order now and the one game I played was friggen awesome.

All I need now is Washington mgmt to stop thinking Gilbert is a pg and start jaying 36 pts/game again!

Ehh, have you given up on NCAA already?

Looking at the vids, that game looks a way behind LIVE...which is kind of crazy. Looks like a very limited game.

Nah, not given up just yet but depending on how much this improved DNA and patch 2 improve Live there may be no reason to play NCAA. There is no doubt that visually it's way behind. Playing Live again after two dozen NCAA games, damn the game just looks beautiful. The motion offense stuff is really cool but the playbooks are also awesome in Live so that's a wash.

The issue of not passing out of the post just cripples NCAA because so many motion offenses obviously have post touches but players frequently pass out of the post IRL. That doesn't happen in NCAA, if there's a motion where the first or second pass goes into the post the guy always shoots it and completely kills the CPU's offense - esp when it's not a high scorer/good player who should be taking a lot of shots. This is no where near as big of an issue as in Live.

The other huge thing is the layup solutions, they are so much prettier in Live. NCAA has some real brutal ones but that is probably on purpose since college kids don't finish in traffic anywhere near as well as pros.

I'm waiting to hear on news regarding a patch, if EA isn't going to patch the game then there's really no reason to keep it even if you are a huuuuuuuuge college basketball fan IMO unless you hate 2K8. You just can't play a game with such a glaring issue (not passing out of the post) long term.

Don't mean to jump in but I've played a ton of NCAA and I have to say Live's ai plays a lot more realistic than ncaa. But it is early!! The motion o is awesome but I love the r1 botton in live to get a guy off of screen, very similar

In part because EA's attention to detail in the game is poor, especially with the ratings.

It definitely has a college feel though, you have to play team ball or you'll be in trouble for the most part. If they could correct the CPU's offense with the passing out of the post then I'll keep the game and enjoy it, it does enough things well and I'm a college basketball nut. If EA doesn't fix it then there's no reason for me to keep it.

To be a broken record, that little face up 6 ft pop in post, can't take it anymore! I tried everything.

And to compound things damn near every PF has the same jump shot animation.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

I'm going to hold off on picking up Live again but, if NCAA doesn't end up getting a patch or something regarding the post issues I may have to say good bye. I just hate when a game has so much potential and then has one or two glaring issues that takes away from the entire package. Hopefully we'll here something.

Anyway, back on topic.

I figures the DNA was gonna come through and help out the gameplay. Keep up the impressions guys. Has there been any word on the 2nd patch?
