NBA Live 10 Impressions From Da_Czar

05:53 PM - September 3, 2009 by Steve_OS

Da_Czar recently had an opportunity to head out to EA Canada and played a ton of NBA Live 10. Check out his impressions, right here. Two Czarisodes will be available next week.

	"Recently your man Da_Czar was invited to go up to EA Canada to have a look at NBA Live 10. While elated to have an opportunity lay my hands on the game early I also had a few demands of the LIVE team on my visit. I wanted to be certain no one was spiking my kool-aid (berry blu), so I requested that outside of my tour I be locked away and allowed to play with no one telling me �hey this is cool look at this�. To my surprise they had the exact same thing in mind. I was shocked by how open they were with their product. As I always do I will give it too you straight... No chaser... But to the haters of the series that also includes things I enjoyed about the experience."

There is nothing wrong with it. I just would like more player specifc individuality in the post up game. ------------------------------------------------------ I sure as hell hope that after 3-4 years Shaq has some power game in NBA Live. I can't get anyone to answer this question....it's like it gets ignored or something every time. There are only a few legit offensive minded centers in the NBA today. There are only two guys who i consider power players inside Shaq and D.Howard. I can live with Duncan and Yao shooting mid range jumpers. But Shaq and D.Howard should be very unique. Everything should come basically inside and in a physical way in which they are simply looking to use their size and strength. Can someone please tell me if LBJ drives and Shaq's defender leaves him to cut off LBJ at the basket.....when LBJ dishes it to Shaq down low will he look to tear down the rim on a dunk or shoot some weak looking inside 5 ft jumper? I'd also love to know if defenders simply just hack a Shaq inside because the big fella is way too strong to be pushed off the blocks. I hope I'm not asking for too much realism but that is simply one thing I've seen ignored year in and year out when it comes to NBA Live and YES I know his DNA tendencies but it didn't work last year plain and simple.

Sup Playmakers. The scenario you described never happened when I was playing Mostly they left Varajao when they did leave anyone. Stuff like that you will probably have to get a feel for yourself man.

I tried to not to get soo deep in the forest that I couldn't see the trees so that question is really too specific. I played with many teams and not always for a full game especially when i was capturing.

even in the L though they don't let shaq do what they used to. you can't start at 15 feet and just bowl somebody under the rim anymore so if that is what your looking for then no that's not in the game. I didn't play a lot with cleveland outside of capturing for King James...

You should be able to gather something from the demo though with dwight who is another player i did not play with.

Like I mentioned earlier though backing down with aldridge from portland was not a very successful strategy especially against bigger players.

Once I get the game I will def look into to that and let you know what I find.

Jamesmaster welcome to the OS family !!!

To be honest I did not see a lot of dunks period. i played mostly on all-star and there just aren't a ton of opportunities. most dunks seemed very appropriate to the situation at hand.

I did perform a NASTY signature cuff dunk with Lebron that i can't stop watching so that would lead me to believe there are more in there although the exact number may take us awhile to figure out depending what level you play on. Most of my dunks came on broken plays or against poor defensive teams as I look at what I captured.

The lebron dunk was against the knicks and they were spread way too far apart and I put Harrington in a mixer but doing a right to left double cross over and he overcomitted to cut me off and I went behind my back... Had the floor not been spread just like it was help d would have been all over that.

Honestly I love that part of the game. One nitpick could be that the rookie post player guarding shaq should not have been that far from the basket on that play.... But It only happened once for the Jam !!!

My apologies as i would not be able to comment with confidense on the free throw's as there was soo much to look at. Most times I was making a note or something during the free throw routines. I do remember seeing Melo blow into his hands before shooting though.

So Czar how did you like the controls overall, from the vids they look pretty intuitive. And how would you compare them to previous Bball games?

# 204 seemoe @ 09/05/09 05:59 PM

Czar, random question here, but this is something I've wanted back in the games since Live 06. The menu look. Does the menu still look like they are trying to do the next gen thing or does it have the vibe that the last gen games gave off? Its not like really important, but I just want to see the old menu look rather then the next gen style.

Loved the controls and the control they offer. To me easily the best I have used if you consider them as a unit. One game may have a better invididual control but when you consider all the systems together i really enjoyed using them after a brief learning curve.

Just seemed to make sense but also offer advanced stuff if you care to use it.

LOL thanks Toddisballin. Welcome to the OS man !!!

# 209 Jano @ 09/05/09 07:01 PM

Now that's what I was hoping to hear. Can't wait for your upcoming Czarisodes man it should be really interesting.

It'll be great to have even more video evidence of the stuff you stated in your article.

Ah missed this one. what up cxmz ???

I did play with the mavs but it was only 5 minute quarters and I only played for 1 qtr I believe. I don't recall seeing JJ on the floor man. But Dirk Mcgirt looked really good. I think he had like 10 pts in that first qtr against me.

They really pushed the ball up the floor against me.

I'm really impressed with this as this review was done based on an out of the box experience.

# 214 nccomicfan @ 09/05/09 08:36 PM

CZAR, you've seen this game alot better then most of us...are my eyes playing tricks with the sliding(especially in the paint) or am I right?

# 215 basketball0725 @ 09/05/09 10:57 PM

Did You see anything about put back dunks in the game?

No its not just you...there is some minor sliding here and there and its expected with the amount of fluidity in this years game..i guess the sliding should be decreased for next years title.

No put back (dunks) in this years game only putback (tip-ins).

You made a comment about dynamic season, care to comment on live run?

# 219 cxmz_18 @ 09/06/09 02:58 AM

Thanks a lot Czar. All Im hoping for now is that we could edit anyone in the game and be able to change their shots. We should DEFINATELY have that option in Live 10. Some people might like to change a jumpshot to another one that they might think better fits that specific player. I REALLY hope this is in the Live 10. Is something that 2k offered and Live needs this.

# 220 zakarias @ 09/06/09 06:38 AM
