NBA 2K10 vs. NBA Live 10 BattleGround 2010: Round 3

[mrclutch]

I'm ready for the gameplay Battle Ground.

[SHAKYR]

Competition is awesome. It's great to see one game push the other. Live's improvements have been a great thing to see.

I think Live is going down hill this year after Beluba(Mike Wang) left. There vision and his wasn't the same. He wanted more realism.

As usual, the Czar's Battleground is just PURE AWESOMENESS! Great breakdown. I purchased Live 10 and I feel that it has better arena sounds during gameplay that sound like a real NBA game. However, I got question for both games:

"Where in the hell are the starting lineups intros for BOTH teams before tipoff?" Seriously, how does EA and 2K leave this out? It's seriously needed back and it needs great attention as well.

Great video for sure. I love the series. I do, however, wish that it came earlier.

You can see the lineups in 2K before the game by pressing the start button when the pre-game screen pops up.

I'm talking about lineup introductions. Where the PA announcers the starters.

Meh, I think i'd rather have it like CH2k8 did it when you could participate in the shoot around before the game while they gave you a breakdown

Yeah that is nice. Raff breaks down the key matchup to the game, too.

NCAA 10 actually does a good job with the starting lineups in pre-game.

Well, let's do both! I didn't know that CH 2K8 had that. I don't really play college hoops games, but that sounds nice. I I say starting line up intros because that's a major part of presentation and theatrics that occurs in the NBA now.

Then again, maybe it's because I'm from the Chi and I'm a homer for the Bulls starting intros. Especially during the Bulls' glory years in the 90's. WHAT YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT JORDAN AND THE BULLS IN THE 90's?!!!

NBA 09 did that but that has been done in the past already.

I think after awhile people just skip that part of the game and move on so the devs dont waste time on it

[Da_Czar]

I think they should try a layered approach where the intos are only done for maybe the eastern conf finals and the finals that would keep them from getting skipped. I have to admit I am one of those who rarely skipped the intros when they had them...LOL i would use that time to mentaly go over the matchups I wanted to exploit and get ready to go to work...

CH2k8 is the definition of a classic. I wish 2k would release an "open source" generic hoop game for download with all the court and jersey editing tools we need to recreate college basketball. Not to hijack my own thread though....

lol how does a man hijack his own thread?

The matchups were discussed though as you went through the warmups but I agree some sort of intro's would be nice, im sure they could get real creative with it. The last game prior to NBA 09 was NBA Live 2008

That said, to stay on topic I like 2k in round 3 of the battleground lol

That's a great idea Czar. I was thinking they could also do the same thing they already have somewhat implimented with rituals. If they had it also added into this section where rituals wasn't so much shown but just the intros instead and have it dynamic game to game, I think this would be great. Not every game you see on NBA TV or even TNT has the intros shown. You are fortunate if you see this, sometimes you come into the game right when the lights die out and rituals are done or right at the Tip-Off. 2k can definately be dynamic in this area. Not to mention the commentary would be a good feature shown. Having them relay the game is one thing but seeing them relay the game is another. This would be a great addition to overall presentation even before the game starts. They had this in 2k9 during but they should take it a bit further even adding them during the halftime show.


Good thinking Czar. You thinking, has me thinking.

I stil say that NBA Live 06 had the best pre game intro ever.

Unfortunately, that was the best part of the game.

Fortunately and as recently as last month CH 2k8 allowed you to download rosters from this season. It got me through my college bball needs this year. I played EAs offering but it just isnt as good.
