NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

[WTF]

THe weeks is almost over. You want me to come and play Live and capture it steph? lol.

Like what I see. Player movement is a lot better than last year. Seems like everytime I see a new video the game looks better and better. Can't wait for the demo, but guys I think it's unfair to compare the vids that live has dropped to the combine because I think the combine was built by July 15th (That what it says about the accuracy of the rosters). I think we should be pumped that Live looks really great this year, but also give 2k a fair shot too.
Sorry to go a little off topic. Again, great job by this Live squad making a game that has this highly astute basketball community really hyped. No small feat.

Yeah for sure... don't want to just assume that 2K10 will be the Combine with some minor fixes... they just haven't given us ANYTHING of substance relating to gameplay aside from vague assurances that help defense is improved, etc. And after playing the Combine, if that's more or less what I have to look forward to in the full retail, I won't be very happy.

Anyway.. hope we get that gameplay video this week still. You teases.

Good work EA

Mike you should take tips $$ for the stuff you're doing, it's like a red carpet treatment as we enter the best NBA sim ever!

I thought about you as soon as I saw that jump shot, lol.

Agreed Stumble. For the first time in three years, I'm having a really tough time choosing between the two NBA games. I do hope Live has a career mode (I know it might not be that popular to most, but I've wanted one for B-ball since playing RTTS for MLB.) With NHL 09 and 10 doing such a great job with their Be a Pro, I hope Live can do the same. But I know that gameplay was their No. 1 concern (for good reason) and they have done an AMAZING job in one year's time. I think they might not have had time to do a career mode for this year, which is fine. Just love that Live is no longer a punch line.
Great job again to Marcus, Mike and the rest of the Live staff that doesn't get to post here. We all know it's not a two-man job (I know Marcus and Mike would be the first ones to tell us that.)

Nice looking vid overall...

It's nice to see CHEST PASSES! NBA 2K9 killed me with all of the overhead passes along the perimeter. It's still there in the 2K10 Draft Combine vid and it irks me!

Also love the off-ball AI with teammates setting picks for you as you control an off-ball player.

The baseline layup and fall down was sweet! I was watching thinking "oh God don't tell me this is going to be a dunk", and he layed it off the glass off balance. Nice!

One question. What level is this video on? That dunk in the lane by the Hornets (by Rasual Butler?) just wouldn't happen in a game. He was too ferocious in the lane and elevated in traffic. He looked like a young Amare. That was disappointing to see.
