	"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."

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...

Yeah I feel you on that and I honestly feel like Live 10 is going to deliver on that front. I liked the player differentiation I saw in the shooting tutorial.

I think your problem is harder to overcome though because that's just the way the game animates and its something I don't see changing.

Maybe once you get your hands on the game you'll be able to look past it. I feel like for most of the guys here if it plays a good game of ball people will play it.

And I think that's all that matters in the end anyway, because videogames are meant to be played not watched.

Yea man you couldnt say it any better br0..Good looking on that..Thats why i say die hard live fans will be amazed at what live 10 is doing this year overall and i use to play the crap out of nba live 05 day in and day out and when i seen nba live 10 in videos i was like ohhhhhhhhh snapp. Nba live 10 doesnt need 100000 animations to make it look smooth and thats what people are use to you know. Its all about fundamental basketball and the controls,macanics,everything about live 10 brings it..I cant wait untill thursday

You're not alone 24th, I'm with you. Although Live has really good animations, but to me it's still herky jerky. Jano was right, 2k is deliberate and much slower so you can see how the animations branches out. Live's animation I think is too quick on branching their animations that's why people see it as herky jerky.

Not dissing live at all here people, I'm getting both games just not sure how! hahahaa! Man, I've watched that 5-on-5 gameplay video for the 54th time now! The atmosphere is just plain sick!

Yall use to watching 2k...So anything different will look strange to you

# 325 Jano @ 09/06/09 04:43 PM

I think that Live has the speed and the efficiency of NBA players down pat.

Where as 2K really nails it when it comes to having every player move and respond like they would in real life.

I hope yall understand what I'm saying here.

So some like one style over the other but, luckily it looks this year you won't go wrong once you settle on which game you like better.

- That's the thing, if 2k basketball didn't exist, I won't be saying Live has herky jerky animations. It's just 2k got it right at least IMO.

- Well said my friend. 2k is very authentic. 2k Captures NBA player movements right.

It's not that Syntax...Jano's point is on point, hence the

i am loving the look of live, and this is coming from someone who found live 09 very hard to play. it all felt a bit canned and one dimensional,

i will be buying both nba games for the first time in ym life this year, and if both are as good as they look, i will be such a happy sim gamer

add in the show 09, (and maybe fifa 10) and those will be filling up my hours for a whole year with ease.

I have a friend that says the same thing, but I don't see it. I wonder if it has anything to do with the physiology of the eye, because he can see the "rainbow effect" on DLP tv's and I own one and never seen it...

I dont see anything funny either.

# 336 Jano @ 09/06/09 06:40 PM

So do I guys game looks fine to me also but I think that the speed of the anims really bugs people.

I actually prefer the way Live animates because to me it replicates NBA ball the best when your playing it.

I agree..The real nba is fast pace and uptempo and nba live brings that to the table..

What!? two posters, with two diferent views on a subject, that can see where the other is coming from? w\o the thread catching on fire? we may have just made history Jano. LOL. I guess its simply a matter of opinion though you know? You put it it a good way...both games capture certain aspects of animation perfectly...at the end of the day simply preference.

The shooting tutorial was just confirmation for me from what Czar had stated. The net/rim ball interaction is MUCH improved from years past. Damn those swishes look sweet...
