I like the commentary as well although it is long overdue for some new lines.

Looks good!

Maybe this is the commentary by default. They did say "Dynamic Commentary/ Storylines" would be added as the season/dynasty progressed right?

Honestly, for me anyway, i care way more about the spacing than the animations.

LIVE has legit 'NBA spacing'...that's my main focus.

Agree 100%. The A.I. is quick to recognize what you are trying to do offensively. (example: in Mike Wang's passing tutorial video, watch as Tyrus Thomas is quick to occupy the open space at the left elbow to make room for the pass to Loul Deng.) This helps tremendously in avoiding clutter on the court which happens waayyyy too often in the other game and is a detriment to video game hoops.

Pair this spacing with authentic team play sets, greatly enhanced P&R control, quick and correct defensive rotations by the A.I., and excellent, intuitive passing controls......things can't get much better for sim heads that enjoy executing realistically in the half court.

I've also liked the one on one battles we're seeing on the perimeter. Isolation basketball has never looked as natural and realistic as we've seen in these Live 10 videos, which is great to see because it is a huge part of NBA basketball.

Live 09's dribble system was too stagnant, accentuated by the suction you felt when engaging the on-ball defender (This combination made Live 09's iso's feel very forced) While the other game's total lack of dribbler vs on-ball defender interaction made taking a man off the dribble look and feel very clumsy.

I agree that the commentary is not the greatest. But like you said, the authentic NBA crowd noise and arena specific sounds being added to this year's game will make playing with commentary off a solid option in Live 10. Hopefully dynamic headlines help here.

Wake me up when it's September 10th
