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

[Phobia]

I can't believe I am going to say this. I am a huge 2K fan and would never imagine I would leave the NBA 2k franchise. But this year I got to say I am going with LIVE. It is a huge step in the right direction.

First of all 2k9 really got under my skin last year with the terrible Iso-motion. The whole movement system needs scrapped in 2k. It is to robotic and causes a real lack of "speed" in the way players move and react.

Now onto LIVE. I am throughly impressed with how smooth everything moves at. It is silky smooth cutting across the lane and doing a pull up. As you do a pull up and keep your momentum and fade in the same direction you were running.

The skill stick or what ever they call the right stick for doing the cross overs and such is such a breath of fresh air compared to 2ks.

Little things such as the arrow that shows the direction you have the left stick pressed is such a small thing but really helps in making correct passing to the man you want the ball to go to.

All in all I am getting NBA Live 10 this year. Give me my New Orleans Hornets and let me dominate with Chris Paul

I'm sure the nelson problem won't be an issue in the full version because the demo doesn't take into account fatigue.

Which was a big part in last years game on whether or not you could make jumpers.

The better shooters could still hit them but not at the same rate as they could earlier in the game. And the weaker shooters would miss a lot if you didn't take good shots.

Also you got to factor in hot/cold streaks which will effect your shooting also.

Remember that this demo was compiled very early on in the development of the full game so hopefully a lot of the shading/touchups will be done by then...

Lol at telling people to calm down just because you don't care for the game.

^Right, why would someone calm down and not be excited over something they like and are.....excited for?

I am pumped for this game but for the people who say this was an early build and that the retail version will hopefully look better - I doubt it. Every year people say this and the retail version always looks identical to the demo.
