NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

[Quicksilver]

Great writeup.

The 392 plays is great! this way each game will be unique as well as per possession!

In 09 after playing for a while, i can predict the tendencies of the AI's plays. It's like playing the game over and over with no variations whatsoever after a while it gets boring.

here's hoping the AI will use the full plays specific to a team in game! That to me will make live much more exiting to play.

Just wondering though, I usually play a dynasty with fantasy draft.
How will these plays affect a team with completely different personnel? Like if I use the warriors but drafted let's say Duncan and a bunch of players who normally doesn't like to run.
Will they adjust to the team run and gun style or will they play more slowly because of their DNA?

I hope NCAA uses this engine.

QuickSilver I'm guessing your play style will depend on team and coach and not players. I could be totally wrong though.

and me being another 2k fan but I gotta give EA props for the progress they made for live and for that ill be buying both games also...both games look good indeed!

I wonder how kobes shot animation looks...

Can't wait for this demo! Everything sounded pretty good, for the most part. I just was hoping that for once in a b-ball game when in practice, u REALLY get a practice of either 5 on 5, 1 on 1 or sumthin where u can work on your defensive skills as well as your offensive game/skills as if you were going up against a defense.
The hustle play animation was something I was concerned about, on the low, and it came to fruition. I hope EA can work that out a bit so it properly occurs in the right instances and NOT gets overdone.

Once again, overall, nice. Marcus, my dude, keep the wip crackin'!! Lol.

In 09, there is already 5 on 5 practice where you can practice plays of a team.

If kobe ever dove while the ball was rolling and he was by himself on a break away i would shut this game off. That would be horrible. About the play selection..is there really 392 different plays for the Lakers, thats incredible. Can you give me some examples of how they work and some of the names of them. Does play artwork show-up on the screen like 2k does? And is A the new shoot button??

4 times outta 30 games isn't overdone, and he said it happens when it's not needed, meaning u could still only have one hustle play in that game but in happened when it wasn't needed, if u can understand what im gettin at.
