No doubt Live is improved but if you bash 2k, use better arguments and at least compare apples to apples. You're comparing an add on game thats a draft combine/practic, to in game action of nba teams.

did you see that I said it has become stale FOR ME? I hardly played 2K9 after a few weeks. I've gotten too old to worry about what someone else thinks about a game and too damn old to be arguing with someone about my opinion on a game. It's MY personal preference. Later.

Again, why are trying to dismiss someone elses opinion. Not one person is stating fact here. Everything here is someone elses opinion. Not everyone is going to agree with them. You are one of those people. So again I ask you. What gives you the right to bash someone elses opinion?

i feel like this is the game that every live fan has been waiting for. Good job to the developers and everyone else who were involved in making this game a certain success. Now imagine what live 11 will look like.

Thank you. I said the same thing.

In game 'practice' may be the only place I will be. Throw in a real defender and animations based on defensive positions, and its truly hard to replicate the moves in the hangar/practice mode

hangar practice mode is nice, but im getting better with true in game "scrimmage" practices... With defenders bumping you, you open up so many more animations

Wow, Live...wow.

Wow.

Definitely set the bar for control in a basketball game. I can't go back to anything less.

Speaking of anything less, try comparing Live 10 to 07. Major props to the developers and EA for finally turning it around.

I hope they have the different practice types like they did last year in the academy. That would be great place to practice all of the new moves against a defender.

I dont know about them setting a new standard though, i think they definitely set a new standard in Nba live next gen bball but not bball gaming in general. I already put in my preorder for nba 2k but i might purchase live also, i'll probably rent it before i buy it just to be sure.

Fair enough, I'm a bit overexcited perhaps. It's all hype and excitement at a new product right now. I'm sure it'll pass.

I'm sorry, but I just think live 10 is awesome and I wished to express it.

And fair enough about it being practically the finished product too. I imagine the difference to the final product is just a bit of spit and polish.

Some specific thoughts on the demo...

-The freestyle passing feels great.

-Each possession seems to have a natural flow... the broken plays feel very authentic

-Passing to a cutter is great, they catch it mid-stride and their cut/lay-up. This really stood out to me as in previous iterations the cutter would always stop dead in their tracks. Great improvement from 09.

-I don't really know what I'm doing in the post. (S'pose I'll have to go read the instructions of something crazy like that.)
