It's a good game.....for a LIVE game. Which means one thing. DICK. Prepare to get OWNED again for like 10th straight(sorry but I've lost count) year.

You do understand you probably will get a infraction for that statement.

Defenitely not feeling the demo. Players feel like they are skating and big men are too quick in comparison to smaller, faster guards. I also actually preferred the separate shooting and dunk buttons but that's not a big deal. I just wish players felt like they had more weight to them.

Just finished playing demo and visually it's beautiful. The crowd , stadium and players look awesome and pre-game lil jig by D.Howard was pretty dead on. As for gameplay, used player lock with V.Carter and was surprised how well the help defense comes over when it appears you have a open lane to the basket. I'm impressed to say the least. When I was in the hangar, I didn't see CP3 (PS3 only??) .Also if that's Yao Ming sitting on the bench, then kudos to EA for showing our injured Rocket some love. Again great lookin demo and will def look to play finish product when it goes Gold in Oct

I'm playing on Superstar and there are a TON of contact animations and players hitting the floor.

Is it me or does anyone agree that Superstar seems to have more balanced play?...I thought I would get blown out on Superstar but after several games I'm more competitive on Superstar than I am on All-Star. Superstar IMO has better overall defense

I thought that on superstar the game would act like all madden but i have had the best experience so far with this demo on superstar level. The games have been competitive with me and the cpu winning games.

This is definitely the case a lot the time. Fisher will launch shots left and right, contested or not. Meanwhile Kobe just kinda sits back and watches. It could all be due to the short quarters though.

On a side not, I'm seeing a lot of circus shots being put up when there's contact being made in the paint. On a couple occasions I'd be backing down with Pau and as soon as I get in the air and draw some contact he does a sort of reverse layup instead of keeping it simple. It doesn't happen ALL the time but it definitely occurs more times then it should.

From my experience from the demo....Fisher takes mostly uncontested 3's or mid range jumpers.... But whenever you go on a run...either to catch up or to increase the lead...kobe goes off.. at a time i went on a run and fisher just kept giving the ball to kobe while hes posting me up for the turnaround jumper or takes me off the dribble in the perimeter.

i disagree, you sound like a college football analyst saying a team is no good this year because they were last year. i'm a 2K guy all the way, but i'm really thinking about going LIVE this year. guys like you get too caught up in the "mine's better than yours" bull**** and dont have an open mind to anything. i havent played 2K this year yet, but i'm loving this years LIVE. and it's only the Demo.

Really???...what demo are you playing...Players having no weight????...If there is one thing I certainly feel its the weight of players in ths game. One thing LIVE has done right with all next gen versions is have weight be a factor in the game.

Some of the comments in tis thread are very strange...makes you almost wonder if the poster has an agenda...I just don't understand people not wanting 2 great games to co-exist. Some people seem to be hurt or threatened that Live might actually be a great game this year...Weird

graphics are pretty good on this game except they made all the players too shiny.

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

Game is alrite but why is the Lakers so overrated. Especially Fisher and Bryant. They seriously need to fix this quickly because I can just imagine some of the other players on here. It makes the game not fun, its very frustrating.

Superstar is decent, but I feel like instead of playing better defense there's just excessive turnovers. It can play great at times then just be completely uneven at others.

I'm not overdribbling at all, I try to hit VC with 2 moves and Kobe dribbles off his foot? Come on now. The real problem here is that none of these defensive animations force you to pick up your dribble, which would be more realistic, instead you have players tripping on themselves and turning the ball over. This is the NBA, those instances should be a rare occurance.

I'm going back and forth with the CPU winning and losing, but I just wish the way it played out was a little better. They don't play better basketball on this level, players just become capable of things they shouldn't be. It's pretty funny watching Pietrus dropping contested fadeaways on Artest, but on the other end Ron can't knock down the wide open 3s in the corner I'm feeding him. Why is Howard shooting and hitting fades in the post over Bynum? Its fine the first couple times, but when it happens consistently it makes you shake your head.

Criticizing this game in here seems blasphemous though. I'll probably get chewed out by some dudes sporting EA goggles. Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but this level is completely uneven.

No reason to get chewed out, that's your opinion and fortunately enough.....we all have one. And my opinion is I'm not having the same problems you and some of the others in this thread are having.

One thing you'll learn in life is EVERYONE will NEVER like the same thing. And EVERYONE'S perception of the SAME THING is DIFFERENT. That's life.

And with that being said, this is a great basketball game to me. I haven't had this much fun in a b ball game in a long time. The fundamentals are good to see. Is their room for improvement??? Sure, theirs always room for improvement. But I like what I'm seeing so far.

There's a way to slow down the big men so you shouldn't let that discourage you.

The skating is definetly back in Live 10 after 3 years of being gone.....

I don't know what can be done about it if it's in the final build. I guess will have to waite and see then try some things that might work if the game speed is lowered.

I was impressed overall with the product but like all demos I get bored in a hurry with them so now I'm waiting on the final build to see what exactly has been finalized and then go from there afterwards.

That's why i said just hang in there and waite for the final release because we can still edit some things ourselves if need be
