You can really get some nasty moves going while there are only generic spins and power moves in Live (excluding fade-aways, which both games have (I'd have to say I like 2K's more)). But I do like the play-calling and equipment of Live 10 MUCH more than 2K10. This will be one tough decision.

I'm having no problems protecting the paint in the demo. I'm using the magic every game though starting Gortat with D.Howard. I'm owning the cpu inside on allstar and superstar. I agree with your other points though, especially the post game. 2k's post game is way more advanced.

The live demo reminded me of NBA street on offense except without the 20 foot dunks.. It was very easy to make a jumpshot and I was on superstar difficulty. I didn't have to run a play to win the game, just gave the ball to Kobe and mainly hit mid range shots. I shot 77%. Thought maybe the Lakers were just too good, but then I did the same thing with Jameer Nelson because Fisher would play so far off him. It is much improved but just too easy to break your defender down. I played 2 players too and we scored in the 40's or more each game. Therefore, I do believe that it is leaning more towards the arcade side. It is really fun though.

IMO, that's because the gameplay in 2k10 is heavily focused on inside play. The animations and gameplay elements around the basket are very well done for the most part, but the perimeter gameplay and defensive AI are trash.

One of the funniest things I saw in the demo happened last night. I fended up launching a full court shot with Howard by accident and Marv Albert goes, "Has he lost it?!!!!!" The way he said it was so unexpected lol.
