NBA Live Needs the Dream

[23]

I just played Live 09 for the heck of it since Sage mentioned it to me

There are so many things where they dropped the ball from that game its crazy

Right now the CPU wont even kick the ball around the perimeter looking for the best shot... its a one pass and shoot or just come down and shoot by the PG

The defensive rotations in Live 09 were far better than this game also. Some sad stuff to see

Another one of those things that isn't broken, along with good Post Game in 09.

Like I said, that is one of the things that is flawed about the series, removing things. But again Live 10 is a very good and fun game.

Also Be A Pro should have returned, ASW should have never left, even though I did kind of hate it. I hated the controls more than the mode.

But again on the court this game does a lot things right, but like you said,"a lot of what was removed is crazy"!

Right now, the way things stand, my 1 main concern is the EA team/suits, saying to themselves: "We have to make the game more like 2k."

That would be disaster.

They need to stick with a direction, and keep Live distinct, and the best it can be, without making the game a circus.

Im not sure if they're saying that or not.

2k had a gameplan and stuck with it. Im not sure what happened with NBA Live. It was tops in 2005 then it started going haywire starting with the wacky freestyle superstar gimmick

Main thing is you dont drop the ball this much and expect to be on top

Go back and play Live 09...although some things in 10 are better, alot of things are worse from animations to basic CPU passing the ball around the perimeter.

The poster above said a dev said this wasn't true. They want to create their own identity.

I agree.

There are things in Live 09 that I really liked that I was bummed were not there in '10.

Alot of those things were the reason alot of people were high on Live for.

Playing it, they worked on the controls and stuff for sure, but the rest of the game wasnt polished up in kind.

Its kinda sad, but i was just answering the questions posed why people are hesitant about this next release and in the future.

Remember that defense chant the play in staples center? Do you hear that anymore in Live 10??

What happened

[bigsmallwood]

NBA Live 09 was a better game than NBA Live 10 in a lot of regards to me personally. I liked the post game better. All-Star Weekend was still going strong! They just removed modes and litle things that the game did right for no apparent reason.
