NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Does Derek Fisher take 3's like he's Reggie Miller in real life? The man can definitely hit wide open shots, but I don't remember him just catch and shooting with a guy on him...

Did anyone notice Yao, Nash, KG, and Kidd sitting on the sidelines during the shoot around? Can we "sub" those guys in?

I tried. I don't think you can in the demo. Who knows about the full release...

I thinks it the lighting that make the player too shiny. Maybe it's the "natural light" in the Hangar but before I figured out who all the players were I thought CP3 was Steve Nash.

It's funny but I've only played maybe 5 games. I've been in the "Hangar" for hours. My fiance even asked me if I was going to play an actual game. I said, No! I'm trying to get comfortable with the game first. Out of the 5 games I played, I've won 1 which is great. CPU kills you for acting like an idiot.

I'm starting to think I'm a little Bi-polar--LOL. I had pretty mixed feelings on the demo in the beginning, some problems from Live 09 kept popping up and I kinda got turned off. The first couple times I was playing I wasn't trying to look for my shot, I wasn't waiting for guys to come off screens and get open looks, I was basically forcing everything; It's a completely different game when you take your time and let your CPU guys do there thing. Right now I'm having a blast running through all the plays. One thing is for sure, once you let the game grow on you a bit you start to see what Live 10 is capable of.


In hopes of getting some things patched or fixed(if they haven't already):

CPU logic is off sometimes. On a couple occasions, CPU Kobe would back down half way between the 3 point line and the half court line as the shot clock was winding down. He would then force up a 40 foot shot. Just in general the CPU makes some questionable decisions . Rebounding and blocking need work--Lots of awkward attempts at blocks(guys 5 feet away from the actual ball) and some inconsistent rebounds.

I'd be more then ok with all of the rocket dunks being taken out, they take away from the game in more ways then one. I'd also love to see the turn around 3 pointer be taken out as well. If one of my guys catches the ball while hes facing away from the basket and I wanna take a quick jumper, I shouldn't be forced into a turn around shot--especially from 3.

Anyways, that's about it. I'm sure I'll be back with updated impressions once I've gotten completely familiar with everything.

After playing 20+ games here's my impressions:

+ Lighting overall atmosphere is BEAUTIFUL!
+ Player movements, controls is GRAVY!
+ Presentation is GREAT! (Theme song is really NICE! From ESPN perhaps?)
+ Playbooks, very easy to use and user friendly!
+ Post moves are SICK!, dunks, sig shots, etc!

Minor problems for me:

- On rebound plays, sometimes I feel like players are floating towards the ball
- Baseline lay ups going out of bounds
- Players stepping out of bounds on inbound plays
- Some players jumps to HIGH (Gasol, Bynum, Lewis)

Other than that, IT'S GREAT!!!!
