Thanks a lot Marcus!

I haven't bought a NBA game since like Live 07 and I'm just starting to get back into the NBA now, and WOW, this stuff is sure getting me excited. To have a trifecta of Madden 10, NHL 10 and Live 10 in my dorm room is going to be ridiculous.

Looks fantastic, I never really cared for how Live's models and features were done, but this looks great. And they removed those 6 inch thick sleeves and armbands. No more Iron Man..looks great.

Edit - I think I meant Mega Man

I hope they recreate/revamped there signature jumpshots as well not just signature ARCS, I mean the way they shoot the ball hopefully its the same as there REAL life counter parts... Im looking forward to see there blog about Signature jumpshots this year coz its weird in 09...

Yea same here. All the jumpshots I've seen so far look really good(Harris,Durant,Rose).

That Nuggets jersey has different colors for the numbers on the front and back, we're not able to do that.

I'll stop you right there. They aren't changing the font, NBA Live doesn't have them correct. They were wrong in 09 and they will still be wrong in 10 if they look like that. I swear I'm not trying to start something, but 2K9 did have the correct font for the Magic. Does the NBA send both games different references? Because you should both have them correct if you are going by the same stuff. It seems Live is just using the old font on the new unis. Hopefully this can be fixed this year. Sure it's a small thing to most, but authenticity is the goal right. I only post this because I think we all want the most detailed and accurate NBA games possible. I don't post as a nitpicking troll, I post because I care Live team.

Old-


Current-


Current in Live 09 with old font-


Current in Live 10 still with old font-

Yeah that does look pretty out of place...but one thing I'm noticing about that pic is that there is something about the jerseys, specifically the names, that just doesn't look complete. That was a very early screen shot so maybe they did change it.

[stephensonmc]

you're correct. It was a mistake by our art team, they missed it. I'll see what we can do about it for this year.

But just a FYI -- when teams change things (like font), you wouldn't necessarily know it yet. Jerseys at a team store also wouldn't be the end all be all answer either. Just letting you know man.
