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

Just had to say this somewhere....

Playing this game on on a state of the art 1080p television vs. anything less than that is night and day. The graphics are so crisp that I can literally shoot, defend and pass better, because it's easy to see the nuances. There is a little hitch in Kobe's shot that is the cue to release the button. Couldn't see this on my monitor, or lower quality televisions. I may never play this game on anything besides the big, beautiful 50 incher at the office. I'm not taking my Xbox back home unless I have to hook up to XBL, lol.

Yeah I really need to upgrade from my 720p/1080i 32" Olevia LCD... that should be my bedroom TV. But then I'd also have to get an HDMI-enabled receiver to keep things hooked up the way they are.. agh, better wait until tax return time...

You're right though -- I saw Madden playing on a really nice setup in the snow and was amazed at how much sharper it looked.

Haven't seen it on a lower scale tv but its definitely sharp and clear on an HDMI 42 in or above set up : )

You, Ex and Matrix should come by the studio for a Live fest. You know where I am. Right on SM and Beverly Glen.

Im probably the closest one to you. I work right off of Wilshire and Sepulveda

I'll be on vacation next month close to release. Might get a chance to take you up on that : )

Still playing the demo at full force. I believe I've played around 400 games by now (at least half of it on superstar).

I'm absolutely in awe. Rebounding, shooting, dribling, passing...everything is so rewarding...

I'm really enjoying rebounding and post play (two aspects that have been topic of some heated discussions in this thread).

I'm really happy to say that even after that many hours spent playing it, I've been enjoying the demo even more by now. In the beginning I was afraid that I was under the influence of the initial "wow" factor. Not the case with Live 10.

Couldn't be happier about the game. And yes...I've owned every simulation and arcade b-ball game ever made since Lakers x Celtics.

Come October the 6th I'll be a happy man (hopefully for 2 reasons).

This year's demo is definitely an improvement over last year, and like I mentioned earlier, 2K should take a look at how this game does the shooting where the LS affects the shot.

However, the more I play the demo, the more I'm starting to dislike it. It still has issues with rebounding and defense that are much better in 2k, and even though the AI is certainly more agressive in Live than in 2k, it's still easy to tell when they're going to shoot and when they're going to pass and stuff, just like in 2k. Overall, it's a nice effort and EA is going in the right direction, but 2k is still much more polished for me.
