NBA Live 10 Video: Gameplay Enhancements w/ Mike Wang

[Jamesmaster]

Looks great. The animations seem to look better than anything I've seen/played from Live. It may be a hard choice this year between Live and 2K.

Holy ****! I love how this game is shaping up...

On another note, I love how each stadium has it's own unique feel to it. Also the crowds look insane.

Yea but are the sounds from the video from the actual NBA Live 10 game? I know when you guys do trailers you often add sound effects. I think this was done in the 1st trailer as well.

Shakedown ? I think they showed that just to show that the big man size up is different. Not that cpu horford should and even will do that move against us. The thing is as a video game they have to allow a user to size up (maybe different animation) if they want to. and to account for that at least he isn't doing the lebron joint...

So I agree i don't want to see horford sizing me up with 4 behind the back dribbles but as a users however uswise it may be I should be allowed to attempt a size up with everyplayer and then face the consequences if for instance I 'm playing you and you strip horford eveytime down = lesson learned.

yeah but they didn't have someone we believed in doing the gameplay in previous years. Also they have taken steps not to start the hype train as early as last year. remember the big splash with dna at E3 ? this year they weren't even there.

From 06-09 in live next gen hardcore hoop heads were not excited about what live might bring to the table. You have guys that really understand the nuts and bolts of the game actually impressed with some of the things they have done so far.

True we won't really know until we get our hands on it. But to me Live has never looked as good in every area of the game as they do this year.

One of the biggest issues is how the game moves. while not everyone was completely happy with this footage you don't hear the overwhelming cry or concern (as in live 06-09) about all of their animations. right now it just marion's and a few folks feel something else is off.

At every turn the live team is saying don't get overhyped. that is completely opposite of lives past position before they had to get you to buy the game before too many other people can tell you the game is broken. Now they want you to play it because they believe the gameplay can sell itself.

Watching the vid again, man when they showed Rose sizing up in Live 09 then transition to 10...the difference is like night and day.

Amazing improvements in the arena, crowd, player models, animations..HUGE leap so far from 09.

Great post as usual.
