NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

[bowdown2shadi]

Oh man, I don't know which title to pick up. Live is looking legit this year.

Did you have a chance to play Dynasty, Czar? Sorry if you already answered it, I didn't go through all 9 pages.

Actually I played the final and not the demo. I am sure there are more things i could have missed but the core gameplay is as or more solid than any other game we have played. Control wise it is the best I have laid my hands on. That part can't be explained you have to experience it. just my 2 cents I am by no means trying to convice you man.

This is something I can't wait to try out for myself. It actually seemed easier to ME to get to the rack with Derrick than say Chauncy...

Live 10 appears to do so many little things like that were your asking youself man is that real.. If you know what I mean. There is so much variation between how each player feels and plays that it will take awhile to "figure out" things like that.

Game was very very organic. I never felt like I had it figured out. Now truthfully I switched to a bunch of different teams and played many different opponents so maybe if you get the game and just play as one team vs one other team you will be able to get the game figured out. hope that makes sense. I actually can't wait until you guys get the demo.

czar, are you allowed to answer gameplay questions yet?

I want to know how the shots felt. Different arcs? Balls rattling in? Bouncing around the rim etc.?

Were you able to use the freestyle passing effectively? Did it feel natural or was it too flashy?

Did you see the Triangle offense in action?

swag is def back man. Just the sheer amount of jerseys and shoes and the new menu's all have a certain flavor. Its like they brought back that live 05 type flavor.

Visually I know i won't tire of this game. The player models to me (i'm no player model expert) are 10 times better than last year. when the game loads up I got that old excited feeling. It felt good and if nothing else the game was just flat fun to play. I think its all the variations.

HA! I am glad to hear that my short demo impressions haven't fooled me. Did you see anything about Dynamic Season Mode since you played the final version? Well I guess even if, you probably wouldn't be allowed to talk about it. However superb write-up. Love reading your stuff...

and congratulations...!!!

Czar - See, I JUST posted a comment or 2 in recent days about how the difference for Live 10 could the controls AND DNA/365 because we can get a good feel of how the game looks and animates by all the vids which is pretty damn good and you just CONFIRMED it.

No hate toward 2K but this game sounds like BASKETBALL and I had already thought that Live had a better control scheme and felt more like basketball as well as the play calling and other things although it lacked in animations, details and presentation but now EA is taking ish to a whole nuva level!! I am beyond siked for this game, now, as it already had me more interested than 2K's offering, this year. Next Thursday seems mile and miles away.

Great write up, Czar and you really sounded like you were keeping it real. Like someone said, it was as if I could hear your voice saying the words instead of me reading them. Nice...

Not that they will like anything. that is not what I'm saying. Just if your a fan you will really enjoy the effort put forth this year.
