NBA Live 10 Blog: Shooting the Rock

[TreyIM2]

All I know is that I am FIENIN' for that Live 10 demo to drop on Thurs. but Pasta had posted last week that the demo ISN'T gunna be dropped for the PS3 this Thurs. but NEXT Thurs. He scared me with that because I know he has closer ties with the devs and such but Mike Wang not only said it during his last podcast that BOTH systems are getting it THIS Thurs, but he also posted it in the Shooting the Rock blog. I would rather so believe Mike. I mean, he is ONLY the lead designer of Live 10. Lol...

I really think the level of control could be the biggest thing to separate this game from 2K10...as well as DNA/365. And didn't Mike and and Marcus say something about how they couldn't spill the beans about something "top secret" in regards to DNA/365? They may have a smokin' ace up their sleeves with that...if that is the case.

I wanna see what 2K10 does as well but the game doesn't sound as interesting but it looks like they really did a good job with skin textures. Some of the other things mentioned have my eyebrow partially raised but I need vids and/or the demo because it seems like mostly the same game as last year, which I really dug, but level of control will be an issue. Maybe that demo will drop on Thurs, as well.

Oh, as for the nitpicking and flaming in regards to both NBA game's demos after they drop? Goodluck with that, 23. Lol. It's already off the hook, now and I can agree that Live 10 already looks and sounds like it will get a ton of burn in my PS3, as well.

Same for me. I'll dabble with the other big titles like fallout, GTA, Uncharted, GOW3 etc but over 90% of my gaming time is spent with basketball games.

I think so far by the looks of it with Live's advanced control's and realistic playbooks i'll probably be using it for my chise and maybe some online play and i'll be using nba 2k10 for 'my player' and maybe another franchise down the track.

Mike, a couple questions regarding shot control:

1. Will we be able to adjust our shot while in the air?

2. Will we have any control over the type of dunk that we want to do? For example can I choose between a normal and reverse dunk?

[23]

1. yes

2. i have no clue

Thanks 23, hopefully we can get an answer on #2. How does it work BTW? just press the shot button again?

I think that's how I'll also go initially. Franchise with Live and My Player with 2k10.

I'll only be balling too I think. All the other games I get just sit there and gather dust anyway.

You guys plan on playing the college game along with NBA Live or no?
