NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

[fffffffff9]

I was thinking as I continued to play the demo, that I would unveil some fatal flaw that prevented me from enjoying the game.

Instead, it's only gotten better.

If the retail version cleans up some of the glitchiness, Live is going to get great reviews this year.

Probably because you're shooting off the dribble.

Normal spot-up jumpers work fine. If you're playing as the Lakers and win the tip, you can push the ball up the court and find Ron Artest open in the left corner most of the time. That shot is money. It only works once, though, then the AI adjusts.

The level of detail in subtle animations is impressive...2K is very good at the same thing and Live has finally stepped up their game up amnd replicated the same level of detail...after a layup I saw VC go banging into the post looking kind of agitated...it was a wow moment

Has anyone gotten rim stuffed yet?

Oh and did you know you can deflect passes and get steals with hands up on defense (up on the right stick)? This is real useful when guarding the post entry pass.

I hope they dont cave and start dumbing down and automating the game for people who think its too easy... i have zero problems getting rebounds or playing D... my favorite part is funneling fisher or kobe baseline into Dwight...

Switching to them and contesting the shot.

the only thing that sucks is the A.I teammates dotn really try to contest shots..you basically have to do everything...which I dont really have a problem with because I LIKE switching and doing everything myself...

its just a lot different that you can just sit on one person and allow your teammates to play D for you.


Welcome change though.

I agree here im not having the rebounding issue either as well as defense, but im used to playing defense in this game from last year and this is a similar approach you had to take to shut a team down... hunker down, play the angles, body up on the guy when he tries to run in the lane to cut him off, run him into the help D...etc. People didnt like it then because it takes work, and its no different now, just more work.

This again is the demo though, im sure the final has more things in it on both sides of the ball than what we see
