QuickSilver I'm guessing your play style will depend on team and coach and not players. I could be totally wrong though.

and me being another 2k fan but I gotta give EA props for the progress they made for live and for that ill be buying both games also...both games look good indeed!

I wonder how kobes shot animation looks...

Can't wait for this demo! Everything sounded pretty good, for the most part. I just was hoping that for once in a b-ball game when in practice, u REALLY get a practice of either 5 on 5, 1 on 1 or sumthin where u can work on your defensive skills as well as your offensive game/skills as if you were going up against a defense.
The hustle play animation was something I was concerned about, on the low, and it came to fruition. I hope EA can work that out a bit so it properly occurs in the right instances and NOT gets overdone.

Once again, overall, nice. Marcus, my dude, keep the wip crackin'!! Lol.

In 09, there is already 5 on 5 practice where you can practice plays of a team.

If kobe ever dove while the ball was rolling and he was by himself on a break away i would shut this game off. That would be horrible. About the play selection..is there really 392 different plays for the Lakers, thats incredible. Can you give me some examples of how they work and some of the names of them. Does play artwork show-up on the screen like 2k does? And is A the new shoot button??

**authentic24** · 08-21-2009, 02:30 PM

4 times outta 30 games isn't overdone, and he said it happens when it's not needed, meaning u could still only have one hustle play in that game but in happened when it wasn't needed, if u can understand what im gettin at.

Some how I knew somebody was gonna complain about the player ratings as soon as I saw them posted.

iminurbase just confirmed in another thread that there are plays "in the high 400's" and though some are shared, the majority are team-specific and have the team's name in the play so you can tell. No need for skepticism any more... they're doing it big this year.

We'll see. I'm not saying that it's not possible or anything, but I find it hard to believe that they have up 400+ DIFFERENT plays for EACH and EVERY team this year. This is probably something that I'll actually need to see to believe before I can get aboard that bandwagon(regarding the plays)but like I said earlier, everything else is SOUNDING good right now. I say that because I've been sold dreams by Live in the past and got nothing but nightmares so that's why im a little skeptical about this. Same goes for 2K as well.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

No, I think he was saying it's in the high 400s total, not per team. But of those 400+ plays, most are team specific, some are shared.. In either case, I assume you can assign them to each team, but it shows which plays are team-specific by naming them "Magic High P&R" or whatever.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Hands-On Preview

That seems like it's about 11/12 or so specific to each team with others as basic plays, like Iso, PnR, Backdoor cuts, Post Up, etc.

Oh ok, I gotcha now.

This is might thought right here. I'd say about between 12-14 ACTUAL plays and then your basics just as you described.
