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

graphics are pretty good on this game except they made all the players too shiny.

Game is alrite but why is the Lakers so overrated. Especially Fisher and Bryant. They seriously need to fix this quickly because I can just imagine some of the other players on here. It makes the game not fun, its very frustrating.

Superstar is decent, but I feel like instead of playing better defense there's just excessive turnovers. It can play great at times then just be completely uneven at others.

I'm not overdribbling at all, I try to hit VC with 2 moves and Kobe dribbles off his foot? Come on now. The real problem here is that none of these defensive animations force you to pick up your dribble, which would be more realistic, instead you have players tripping on themselves and turning the ball over. This is the NBA, those instances should be a rare occurance.

I'm going back and forth with the CPU winning and losing, but I just wish the way it played out was a little better. They don't play better basketball on this level, players just become capable of things they shouldn't be. It's pretty funny watching Pietrus dropping contested fadeaways on Artest, but on the other end Ron can't knock down the wide open 3s in the corner I'm feeding him. Why is Howard shooting and hitting fades in the post over Bynum? Its fine the first couple times, but when it happens consistently it makes you shake your head.

Criticizing this game in here seems blasphemous though. I'll probably get chewed out by some dudes sporting EA goggles. Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but this level is completely uneven.

No reason to get chewed out, that's your opinion and fortunately enough.....we all have one. And my opinion is I'm not having the same problems you and some of the others in this thread are having.

One thing you'll learn in life is EVERYONE will NEVER like the same thing. And EVERYONE'S perception of the SAME THING is DIFFERENT. That's life.

And with that being said, this is a great basketball game to me. I haven't had this much fun in a b ball game in a long time. The fundamentals are good to see. Is their room for improvement??? Sure, theirs always room for improvement. But I like what I'm seeing so far.

There's a way to slow down the big men so you shouldn't let that discourage you.

The skating is definetly back in Live 10 after 3 years of being gone.....

I don't know what can be done about it if it's in the final build. I guess will have to waite and see then try some things that might work if the game speed is lowered.

I was impressed overall with the product but like all demos I get bored in a hurry with them so now I'm waiting on the final build to see what exactly has been finalized and then go from there afterwards.

That's why i said just hang in there and waite for the final release because we can still edit some things ourselves if need be

I see to notice that alot of the ppl that are bashing the game have under 10 post. Some with just a couple post.Anyway I like it so far it plays a Sim game. I also liked last years game it got more playing time than 2k9. I just got to get the controls down and really get into it. But its a big step from last year.

Love this animation when playing defense...

When trying to close in on a Kobe/VC... cautiously moving in, very tentative, as if the defender knows the ball handler is just waiting to blow by him.

Very nice.
