NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

[Logic Doctor]

Why can't people talk about ratings?


Steve made it a point to post the 2 teams player ratings as part of his write up. A conversation about ratings seems perfectly legitimate as a discussion point for this article.

I don't think its cool to try and censor peoples comments based on what you think is appropriate. That's a very slippery slope and on a community site like this people shouldn't be threatened or warned for expressing their opinion when its a completely legitimate point of view....

to be fair, VC was the focal point of the offense...whereas Lewis was sometimes the 3rd or 4th option (with dwight, hedo, and nelson) and more of the receiver at the end of the plays, which explains his lower assists. He isn't the facilitator and primary ball handler that VC was most of the time. Different roles in the offense, man.

fair to say they're both premier players

The amount of plays in the playbook is staggering. Good to hear.

Hopefully the playoff atmosphere is well done. Not sure if this is a Q&A, but maybe Steve will see this and discuss how much better it is compared to last years game atmosphere.

Great preview Steve. Sounds like the gameplay has improved a lot from last year I can't wait to get my hands on this demo. The 392 plays alone has got me pumped to play the demo.

My goodness did I read that right? 392 plays for the Lakers alone? and all of those were available to use in the DEMO?! woooooow that is unbelievable.

Love the fact you can now choose which hand to finish layups with. Nice to hear the smoothness of the pro-hop/euro steps and spin layups are good. Loooove the fact the the MID-RANGE game can be used effectively, it helps that Live has good court spacing.

The "Hustle animation" frequency has me worried as well. I hope that its more contextual than it is situational. It's a demo sooo we'll see.

"By default, the game is on Pro and it is a dunkfest, as I was dunking on fools left and right. Thankfully, we can adjust the difficulty to All-Star and the game plays great." This is the quote of the entire article Steve haha.

If you're are taking any sort of questions Steve, there is someting you didn't touch on that I wanted to know about. Net/Rim interaction and sounds have they improved from last year? is there more variety in the animations we've seen from last year?

Great read...

I like when, the player goes to the hoop strong they yell out as if they're trying to get a foul ala Kobe.


That's Great
