NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

[DirtyJerz32]

I'm going to hold off on picking up Live again but, if NCAA doesn't end up getting a patch or something regarding the post issues I may have to say good bye. I just hate when a game has so much potential and then has one or two glaring issues that takes away from the entire package. Hopefully we'll here something.

Anyway, back on topic.

I figures the DNA was gonna come through and help out the gameplay. Keep up the impressions guys. Has there been any word on the 2nd patch?

That doesn't happen in NCAA, if there's a motion where the first or second pass goes into the post the guy always shoots it and completely kills the CPU's offense - esp when it's not a high scorer/good player who should be taking a lot of shots. This is no where near as big of an issue as in Live. .

Always? Damm.

Last I read was in the Patch 2 thread and either blackflash or iminurbase said it's a few weeks away from being submitted to Sony/MS so I'm guessing that we won't be using until close to New Year's. They said they're still testing things which is a good thing IMO, no need to rush this patch out and have it fix five things but break five new things.


I'm making a little mix of replays from my Lakers/Knicks game, probably won't be up for close to an hour though, I saved way too many replays.

I did not play the game for a long time before the weekend and what a difference in terms of fouls. Saw off ball fouls (illegal screens) Fast breaks were not killer but had a few for me and they had a few. Iso was very good. Post play was awesome, both o and d. Like the turnovers. Never fealt like I could not stop them, even though they would at times put it to me. I really enjoyed the game, played 3 games in the dynamic season

It's horrible, the sad thing is you can easily improve it tenfold (I'll refrain from saying fix it) by creating a custom playbook that removes the plays that have a post touch in the first couple steps of a play or motion and then assign it to the CPU. The problem is that you can only change the CPU's playbook in exhibition games and not in dynasty mode.

So basically NCAA 10 is fine right now for exhibition games, but who the hell wants to go all winter playing only exhibition games vs the CPU?

Know what else, didn't you start to feel that down low on drives that you had seen the same contact screen before?

Funny man. Give yourself some time with this game before you declare it awesome. You just went down into the mud and now you picked your head up.

I still can't play this game for too long. Those contact animations just dont work for me in this game and animations are limited here too. When you leave this game alone for awhile, you have a blast when you put it back in, but then after a few games and you see the same things over and over and whamo.

Brandon Jennings is still fun to run around with though
