NBA Live 09 & NBA Live 10 Screenshot Comparison: LeBron James

[HOLLIDAY1183]

@ dantecamp.. hey thanks man, I hardly ever post anywhere, I just feel like when you're posting to give feedback, it's extremely pointless to make irrelevant posts arguing or advertise for the competition (lol). These guys are in here interacting with us for one reason, feedback to improve their game. I wish devs in more genres would do this more.

Plus, I'm a hardcore bball sim guy, I buy a bball game and play several franchises, go online, and play it almost exclusively for the whole season. The closer it is to the real thing (and the less things that pull you out of the realism, like weird ball physics or rim sfx) the better. I see people asking for things like throwback jerseys, when really the focus should be on gameplay period, until it's nailed.

I've played 2K to death this year, but with their decision to make the Lebrons and Kobes COMPLETELY unguardable (especially against skilled users), heck, if Live shows me that these guys can be at least limited somewhat in their game, it's almost to the point that alone will sell me on '10...

Same here man. That's all I care about. I cringe when I see multiple posts of people asking for things like halftime shows and custom shoes/logos.

I just want a game that replicates the NBA and its gameplay. I want to be able to play 82 games and see realistic gameplay, stats, smooth animations etc.

The rest can come after that.

Marcus,

So why is it after everyone proclaimed the NBA games will have foot planting that we still see sliding and teleportation into animations?

I'm starting to question if the people working on 2k and Live are serious basketball players in real life or gamers who got stuck doing sport games.

If technology exponentially gets better why at the end of the first decade do we still have lackluster showings with fluff and gimmicks?

Marcus, now talking about a more direct request: please put the scoreboard on the bottom of the screen.

After a couple of days without playing Live 09, I played it for 8 straight hours last night and had a good time because I was able to focus on what the game does well.

The only thing I couldn't get past was the scoreboard placement. I kept changing the camera settings in vain since the scoreboard was always in front of everything, hindering the experience.

Please fix it man, such a small thing keeping our beloved game from being better than it could.

I'll let Ryan Santos speak about our plans for shoes this year. I think it'll be awesome.

If it's what a proposed a few months ago in the 09 accessories thread, then it's a great thing that only makes sence. plus it makes everybodys life easier.

I hope they can add some type of Nike ID feature, so we can alter colors and create shoes. So when later limit edition shoes are made we can add them to the game.

It would be nice to have a shoe option added to the players edit menu too. Kind of like this.

(HOME SHOE)

(AWAY SHOE)

(ALL-STAR SHOE)

(ALTERNATE UNIFORM SHOE)

(LIMITED EDITION PLAYOFFS SHOES)
