CONTROLLABILITY>

I can actually replicate the same difficult chained move time and time again.

LOVELY

move was a baseline spin back to the basket for a dunk with Lebron.

responsive and smooth as hell.

practice mode will take atleast 8 hours of my time today

it will be well worth your time too ruben the game gets better once you are comfortable with the controls..

also guys a tip especially on defense don't be so heavy handed on the left stick it will make it more difficult to change direction. for more precise defensive movement be very easy on the left stick. and also play position and don't think like in the past where you have to literally move at the speed of the offense. In real hoops defense is a step behind. as such move back and at angles to cut off the drives..

enjoy

This is the year I convert to Live. These guys have really put in the work at it shows! I don't see PF/C doing stupid crossover moves that i saw in the draft combine. Haven't seen sliding. Locomotion is INSANE.

Good job, Live team! I guess it must be the Canadian prowess

Just downloaded it. Now I'm in the Hangar messing around with Wade.

First and most obvious impression is that the youtube videos et al do NOT do the graphics any justice whatsoever!

This is crystal clear in HD. Beautiful visuals.

Controls are sick! The moves you can do feel soooo Smooth. Czar wasn't lying man.

They give you things to work on in the Hangar (lower left corner).

It mentions Adidas Live Run. Oneline- you pick your favorite players and join a group of friends best to 21 wins.

I'm going to mess around some more in the Hangar and then fire up a game before I head off to work.

Great Job EA!!!

Could anyone compare it at all to 2k? Not the draft combine since we were playing as and against scrubs which may be why it felt a bit sluggish at times.

Previous Live games felt "strange" to me. The animations never looked smooth at all, and especially on dunks it felt like people jumped and came down way too fast. Thoughts? I hate having to wait until next week (ps3 user)

The atmosphere is amazing .

Love all the control you over your player.
Post moves are nice.. i was gong to work with gasol.
Court Spacing is great as usual (great thing if you run plays)
Love the fact that players are trying to get open constanly via it Coming of screens,making cuts to the basket, even falling behind the 3 point line when i drive it in.

i like being able to size up my defender while be switching to any move on the dribble with out a hiccup.

Game is very smooth.

Just wow at the moment. Love the movement.

Had LeBron in the hangar, went baseline and stepped back to pop the J. LeBron ended up slighty behind the backboard and normally this shot would just be flat and hit the backboard but the arc on this was beautiful and it floated over and in.

Looked amazing.

I can't find it. I'm an Xbox Live Gold member and it isn't in the new arrivals and I couldn't find it when I searched for it...

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

As far as graphics... I know Live had had nice graphics, but my issue has been that similar to Fifa the visual style itself was cartoonish looking. It's one reason I felt that 2k looked closer to a TV broadcast because their players had more definition to them. Could anyone comment on that too?

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Also hoping someone could compare using the left stick for different layups compared to the shot stick.. lol

Let me tell you something-

The time you release your stationary jumpshot is SO important. I've basically had 5 foot gimmes that just rim out.

The Old Live is GONE. Enter the Mike Wang Era.

So far, so good.

- Amazing presentation and graphics

- Ball/Rim/Net interaction is very on point.

- Loving how guys go up for rebounds and dunks with authority.

- Lot of different shot variations. Guys catching a pass and pulling a 3 in rhythm on the break looks so beautiful.

- A good amount of players to practice with in the hanger

I'm sure I'll find some things to nitpick the more I play, but my initial impressions are very good. My issues right now seem mostly due to unfamiliarity with the controls. I have to remember that this isn't 2K and there is no shot stick.

I don't know what's going on this year but I can't hate on EA. Tiger Woods, Madden, and Fight Night are among my favorite games this year. Now NBA Live appears to have exercised the demons after playing second fiddle to 2K for a long time. 2K is gonna have to step it up next year because this series is headed in the right direction.

Right now I'm actually contemplating whether or not I'll have to buy two bball games this year. That hasn't happened for me since NBA 2K5/Live 2005.
