NBA Live 10 Blog: So Amazing

Game Designer, Ryan Santos, checks in with another NBA Live 10 blog.

Quote:


	"As we start to wrap up the game, it�s amazing to see just how far LIVE 10�s player visuals have come. Today I�ll be going over those improvements in more depth. Like all sim sports games, we strive to achieve the most realistic looking player models. I�m fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented people in the biz. Because of that, NBA LIVE 10 has made a huge leap forward in terms of visual improvements regarding the players. Let�s start with the models."

Marcus, tell us there's time to fix this before the game ships (sorry, couldn't control myself, last nitpick LOL).

Don't hold me to it until I ask Santos again, but I think we did the font based on the reference the NBA sent us. I THINK this might be their font for this upcoming season. Also, your Nuggets uni question -- we only have the ability to have one font per jersey (that includes color). That Nuggets jersey has different colors for the numbers on the front and back, we're not able to do that.

Good thing not many teams had different colors for the numbers on the front and back. That Nuggets Throwback you've been showing us is probably the only one

Thanks a lot Marcus!

I haven't bought a NBA game since like Live 07 and I'm just starting to get back into the NBA now, and WOW, this stuff is sure getting me excited. To have a trifecta of Madden 10, NHL 10 and Live 10 in my dorm room is going to be ridiculous.

Looks fantastic, I never really cared for how Live's models and features were done, but this looks great. And they removed those 6 inch thick sleeves and armbands. No more Iron Man..looks great.

Edit - I think I meant Mega Man

I'll stop you right there. They aren't changing the font, NBA Live doesn't have them correct. They were wrong in 09 and they will still be wrong in 10 if they look like that. I swear I'm not trying to start something, but 2K9 did have the correct font for the Magic. Does the NBA send both games different references? Because you should both have them correct if you are going by the same stuff. It seems Live is just using the old font on the new unis. Hopefully this can be fixed this year. Sure it's a small thing to most, but authenticity is the goal right. I only post this because I think we all want the most detailed and accurate NBA games possible. I don't post as a nitpicking troll, I post because I care Live team.

Old-

Current-

Current in Live 09 with old font-

Current in Live 10 still with old font-

Yeah that does look pretty out of place...but one thing I'm noticing about that pic is that there is something about the jerseys, specifically the names, that just doesn't look complete. That was a very early screen shot so maybe they did change it.

# 109 stephensonmc @ 08/16/09 04:03 AM

you're correct. It was a mistake by our art team, they missed it. I'll see what we can do about it for this year.

But just a FYI -- when teams change things (like font), you wouldn't necessarily know it yet. Jerseys at a team store also wouldn't be the end all be all answer either. Just letting you know man.

I do know that, but I believe we can both agree that is not the case here.

I love how every year sports video games, only point our their problems a year later. How do a much better quality control system in tact. Focus on gameplay first...fix that crap.

Coming from a big time 2K supporter I am impressed with the subtle changes to NBA Live 10. I used to love playing Live but 2K has been the way to go for me since 2006. I have mixed feelings toward 2k9 as it was a fun game but it had rigid game play problems. NBA Live was a fun series as my friends and I had a blast playing Live 03-06 on PS2 and XBox. If NBA Live 10 can return to its roots that made those games a success I would consider crossing the Rubicon. Competition is great for sports games and now I am searching and awaiting further information related to NBA 2k10.

Truley Live's graphics are clean,but not realistic.Everybody isn't cut up,chissiled,or buffed. Paul Peirce is lean not cut up. But much respect to the developers though

I know right EA why would you waste your time on graphics when 09 graphics was perfect, nobody was even complaing about them, the bodies where just fine, EA really needs to start listening
