NBA Live 10 Review

To me, posting up is not a problem... if you are smart you can do some crazy things... as well as draw some fouls. I was able to post David West vs Dyess in my first new Dynasty game and get him two quick fouls. The key is to be patient, wait for it to unfold... is the double going to come? Then you can put the ball on the floor... bump him, you can spin either way, fake a fade away... face up. I wouldn't say it's GREAT and I really am waiting for the manual post up because online (maybe because of lag?) I am not able to do it as fluidly in the post... I always end up losing the ball instead of engaging the post up. As for defense, it's too good. All you have to do is get in front of someone. You don't need to jump or anything. They will miss 85% of the time. Bron and Kobe maybe 60%. I hate that they gave the big men size up moves... that really screws it up, and they overdid it on the hands inside. If you aren't smart or if you get unlucky the ball will just fly out of your hands (not even triggering an animation.) You really have to be patient... and let the players move. If you try to do too much you will really get screwed. It's rewarding to me to get owned by Superstar's logic and defense... and not feel like they are making cheat shots. I'd rate this game 9 out of 10 for gameplay. 8 out of 10 (currently) for online due to lack of ranked team play, slight lag at times (which really affects free throws!), the lack of fatigue (and the auto subbing in teamplay), and lack of manual post up. 8.5 -Smak

definitely right buddy

We should all be glad there is 2 decent basketball games making us question which one is the best or we'd be stuck with a pretty lame game like this years madden or even worse forced to buy a PS3 so you can have a good baseball game LOL I hope EA LIVE becomes better then 2K10 one day. AS LONG AS ITS BETTER I'LL BUY ANYONES GAME. AND BETTER IS ALWAYS GOOOD!

MY BEST OF THE BEST SPORTS TITLES 2009
NHL EA
NBA2K10
MLB THE SHOW

HERE'S THE GAMES WE OWN BECAUSE WE HAVE TO:
MADDEN BECAUSE WE GOT NO OTHER CHOICE
TIGER WOODS BECAUSE WE GOT NO OTHER CHOICE

SOMEBODY OUTLAW VIDEO GAME MONOPOLYS SO WE CAN HAVE

NASCAR HEAT
TRIPLE PLAY BASEBALL
NFK 2K10
ANOTHER GOLF TITLE BY SOMEBODY
A BETTER COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME

AND LONG DISSCUSIONS LIKE THIS ONE ABOUT WHICH ONE IS BETTER.

I have to admit Live surprised me this year, much better than I was anticipating! I've grown a little tired of the NBA 2K series, that said, I do think it's the overall better game. I'm just more into live for something DIFFERENT.

Here's an idea: This is thread on the review of NBA Live. Post on the topic.

Honestly, i don't think either of these games are sim.. I have NBA2K10 and Greg Oden plays like an all star , even though this is his 2nd year and he stunk it up in his rookie year.. what were HIS ratings based on???

Sim doesnt mean perfection but Cmon 2K??

This is a Live thread not 2k

Yes, that post was a good reason to up this thread.
