The full court game might suck pre-patch, it was bad in Live before the patch. Teams didn't push the ball all that much and there were few fastbreaks. After the Live patch the CPU is much more aggressive when trying to push the ball and look for open shots/lanes. Can you see if off-ball control from Live is in? Press the L-trigger, then a player's icon (hold it) and then release the L-trigger. That should allow you to take control of the off-ball guy.

Yep its in. On a fast break I pressed the icon and then made him run him stop at the 3 point line, got passed the ball, and nailed the 3. It was awesome. On 2nd thought, the fastbreak game seems to be a lot better than Live. The CPU even had a fastbreak, and I think that's because they are up-tempo.

Good to hear. Seeing that I am a bigger college fan and am enjoying Live it may go by the wayside if I get this

thanks for the impressions.

Glad to hear the CPU fastbreaks seem good from the start. It doesn't surprise me since NCAA 09 did the tempo feature correctly and it seemed like Live 10 didn't port it properly. So NCAA 10 just had to leave it the same from NCAA 09 and it'll work.

Very nice that OBC is in there too, I use it a ton in Live.

Have you noticed any difference between individual players? Does Singler seem to be better than any other Dookie for the most part?

very nice demo love the atmosphere.

no sliders, but you can change the difficulty level. Presentation and atmosphere is awesome. The beginning overlays are a little quick. They showed players to watch but didn't talk about each player.

Saw the overlay for Top 25 after a foul. You have time to read all the teams but not enough time to really pay attention to records.

Overlays I saw - top 25, Acc standings, (pts, fgm/fga) for a player at FT line
