	"Hi again Live fans. Well, this is the last gameplay blog you guys will see before the NBA Live 10 demo hits PSN and XBL next week. I�m really looking forward to seeing all your homemade videos and reading your feedback. Keep in mind that the demo isn�t final code, so it�s really just a taste of what you�ll see in the full game. Take my word for it, one of the real strengths of Live this year is playing with and against all the different players and teams, which unfortunately, you won�t be able to do in the demo. But I�ll let Novell speak in more detail on just how deep the AI upgrade was this year and how we took player/team differentiation to the next level with Dynamic DNA. I know you sim-heads out there are gonna love it, so expect that blog in the near future. But with the demo coming soon, we thought it would be good to give you one more tutorial to help you hit the ground running with some of the new gameplay mechanics. And today we�ll talk about everybody�s favorite subject: shooting the basketball."

Yeah it's been a while since I've seen two sports games get this competitive (maybe since NFL 2k5 versus Madden 05). Can be a good thing as well as a bad thing - let's see how it plays out....

Are you really going to be paying attention to that while you are trying to win the game, if these are reasons that you will lose the game then you probably will suck anyway. I understand that we want the perfect game but we also need to be civil in our approach because these are people who we are talking to about these issues and when the next version comes out we want to be involved with the process again as well. There coming here isn't really part of the hype machine as people will like to call it. they just want people 's thought's and are finally able to converse with us. and b4 anyone say's anything about what I have said or done read my first sentence. I wil be getting live because every video just about has answered every question that I have had. and by the way i'd just like to add OS is the best site ever to discuss anything, let's keep it that way.

I see where you coming from...People miss over the bigger picture and this year they brought nba live 10 back to the way it use to be..Imo if you a true nba live fan you will clearly see how they brought back the fluid/movement/fundamentals/Everything live 05 had but better.

I guess people's standards are low when it comes to collision detection/ ball physics. That's fine but mines are not. It's 2009 & I was expecting me or the cpu to atleast pay when we attempt a pass right through defenders.
Saw plenty of instances where the ball gets passed across the court and the defender just gazes at it.

Why couldn't they just code in a kick ball call in that gif I posted? I'm not a programmer so I would like to know.
And people saying why I'm bringing this up every game has detection problem, well not every game is the ball the essence of the game.

And @ the CZAR
Players receiving passes without looking like they have telekinetic powers has always killed some of the immersion for me. It just looks bad to me. When it happens it brings me back to the last gen Lives.

you are right its 2009 and this "shouildn't" be happening.

but HEY guess what, it happens in every game released!!!!!!! so that pretty much messes up your whole gripe.

its like complaining you're banana isn't bright red when in fact no other banana in the world is this colour. (weird analogy i know

)

so basically my point it, if these two gripes really bum you out, imagine if the devs DID fix them, then however the time they invested in that area made other areas, like shooting, dribbling, momentum, CPU AI a lot worse than we are saying in the videos.

you have to weight it up, its been a year, just one year since what was really a VERY poor nba game in live09. the fact they have managed to improve this much, and only leave a few errors in the game is actually a massive achievement, especially when those errors dont really disrupt the core gameplay.

i even try playing live 09 now and i truly cannot stand it, its like night and day 10, i never expected it to be so much smoother. the demo will hoepfully confirm this opinions as i would love to have two great nba sims to play all year.

For a minute there I thought you had Live 10

# 311 Nephilim @ 09/06/09 11:18 AM

You observed right DaVe, but at the same time, what if AI does recognizes every pass that goes by and kicks/deflects/intercepts it? What then? AI has to make some mistakes to, or you cannot beat it (because you make 'em too). Sure mistakes have to look believable and within concept of situation, but they have to be there. Even in real life, mistakes decide games. If both sides would play without mistakes, they could as well flip a coin and decide the winner that way.

# 312 Manbearpig @ 09/06/09 11:40 AM

i noticed great collision detection, especially compared to other games. Dont know what you are seeing

I feel you Dave !!! I hope they fix it. But if not i think I can make it one more year.

also I don't think its low standards man but this could be a to-ma-to to-ma'-to type of deal. AFAIK its just varying degrees of brokenness with colision detection. Once somebody ... anybody get's it perfect or close to that. Then I think that's when i feel comfortable making a demand that there should be no more CD issues in hoop games. But until that time comes its not like we can say hey that is not fixed lets go play game "b" where that doesn't exhist.

So in my mind i can at this point enjoy the game that best represents the sport despite its flaws.... Or sit it out like i did last year.... Well last year sucked : ) this year looks to be a lot better on both sides IMho but not perfection.

Just my 2 cents man. I hope you find a game you can enjoy because i couldn't last year and it straight sucked a big one !!!

Good look. You're right. I must of have misread article and had the impression that all games were cpu vs cpu. In that case, the game looks sharp to me. I've bought both Live and 2K (on release day) for the last 4 years now. This year will be no different.

I think im going to have to take Lives animations for what theyre worth.....im just not a fan I guess...some of them just not look smooth to me at all...

other then that, I love the atmosphere in the building....probably the best ive seen in a game....and that sequence w\ Bargani grabbing his eye is just awesome...

If you a true nba live fan you will see where its coming from.. I kinda see live 10 like nba live 05 in a way but a million times better. Its fluid and not over animated or overdone. This is they year!!!

# 317 Jano @ 09/06/09 04:21 PM

Lol 24th that's exactly how my cousin feels. He for some reason just doesn't like the way live animates and I dont know why either.

Maybe its just the speed of the game everything is so fast, where as in 2K things are more deliberate. You get to see more of the intricacies in the players movements then you can in Live.

And that's one of the reasons why I dislike the way 2K animates because though it does look nicer sometimes it gets in the way.

Like if I'm going for a layup the animation is nice as hell, but its annoying when that beauty is spoiled by Dwight throwing my ish out the gym.

At that point I'm like damn why didn't he just get the shot up quicker.

Hopefully this isn't considered a 2K vs Live post lol.

But with Live 10 it seems like we will never have one game that will look the same and we have NEVER had that in an NBA game. There's no real choice from what I've seen so far. And I'm happy it's almost here. One of the reasons I tried breaking my blu-ray disc in half. The canned animations where the guy takes 5 years to put up a lay up 1 foot from the hoop.

Nba live 10 is going to be fun and exciting to play

# 319 The 24th Letter @ 09/06/09 04:29 PM

yeah, I hear you...to me, some of the animations just dont look natural...kind of jerky to me...Everyones view on it is different I guess. Me, I prefer something that looks and has the smoothness of a true to life basketball move....and some of the motions dont reflect that to me...

I want to be able to say "Man, that totally looks like something that D Wade would do...." when im playing w\ D Wade. He may be quicker, better handles, maybe even shoot like D Wade....but I want to see him finish at the basket\ make moves different from everyone else... that makes a big difference to me...

You should view the history of nba live and that will give you a rundown on nba live 10...From everything ive seen nba live looks amazeing and even in vids it looks like a fresh nba live thats never been seen before. The idea of this year was to bring it back to the way it use to be and that has been done.
