No jokes intended. Just stating how I feel about the game. Was not aware stating personal feelings/opinions are being taken as joking

no problem, we all have different opinions,

It's cool I really want this game to be good. I'm just scared to purchase it early only to find some major backbreaker or feature that is terribly broken and is only found after being out $60 + plus is spent. I get this game early every year and end up being let down almost instantly due to some major feature being broken.

Personally I liked the Demo but the more I played the more I started to see issues. But as Da Czar stated it was an early build which calmed me down quite a bit.

I think it's a jab at the devs to say CPU AI logic/flawed is broken based on a few minutes of a demo with 2 only teams.

I think your taking it the wrong way personally.....

We could be crying out to the developers to look into it more because it's been a problem not just in the DEMO but even in previous builds that weren't a DEMO including Live 09.

I think most of us realize it's a demo

Having said that i'll stop posting because i see some guys are really taking this way too personel and it feels like we can't really point out flaws in the DEMO just the good things or else people will start to get upset.

If i discouraged or upset anyone with my concerns regarding the AI/CPU logic I apologize but trust me I'm a die hard NBA Live fan and I think the game can be great but it won't reach that level based on the AI logic not just from this demo but from preivious versions all being taken into coinsideration when i express my concerns.

Enjoy the game (Demo) fellas!

Aye, we need blocking fouls. Not necessarily on the physical play. But if on ball physical play forces the offensive player out of bounds. Used to be in ps1 versions of bball games. We def need it now.

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

Blocking fouls are in the game.

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

Some of the i'll advised passes that you can get away with in NBA2k9, you can't get away with here. I really like how the guards playing the passing lanes... it forces you to be extra dilligent with your passes.

This is still taking some time to adjust for me. You need to be pretty realistic with your passing angles or you're going to get a lot of passes stolen and rightfully so. I'm so used to 2K and only looking to see if a guy is open, not A) if I'm at a correct passing angle B) if there are any defenders in the passing lane who may steal the ball. I have to do all three in Live now, which is cool because it takes a tick longer to read but with freestyle passing you can still get the ball there in time.

Are nit-picky comments getting you down?


Had enough of playing the demo generated from earlier in the development cycle?

Is your enthusiasm waning for Live 10?

Well, I have just the thing to rejuvenate your spirits...

Go back and watch the gameplay video at the end of Mike Wang's "Shooting the Rock" blog. http://youtube.com/watch?v=q2-1rCTr0To

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

Yeah that was a good vid. Something I noticed about every video thats been posted when it comes to gameplay including the demo is their all playoff games. I'm wondering what a regular season game experience is gonna be like atmosphere wise, including teams that are during poorly in the season. Will be pretty interesting to see. I remember in the demo last year they game you the ability to back and play a couple of regular season games with the DNA for that game between La and the celtics. Only one option this year though.

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

The only way I can play any b-ball game is with Player Lock. So, with Player Lock broken, my first comments were a bit skewed. After playing the demo more this weekend, and giving better effort controlling all 5 players, the demo is a bit better than I thought. Not much, but I can see what EA is trying to do, and there are some good improvements.
The control has always been a bit more intuitive, and there seems to be a lot more animations. But, as others have already commented, it's a bit awkward forcing a player into the lane, and suddenly losing the ball. But, it will discourage cheese, and that's a veeery good thing!
Still not overjoyed about the bright graphics, but, it seems that defense will finally play a big part in the game, so that's good.
At this point, I'm on the fence. Because, I like how EA's sliders and options are in Madden this year. I can see and feel the difference right away. I like the player models. The animations aren't as fluid as I would like (Madden's big problem also), though, so.....we'll see.

The player models, controls, options, and sliders could = a buy, though. Depends on how it feels, most importantly. I need Player Lock to truly make an opinion.

Cartoonish or not, that is one good looking basketball vid.

Could I actually own 2 EA sports games this year?!

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

I more I get used to player control and off-ball control the more I like it. I tried to play this like 2k9 and I got punished.

Iso around with Kobe? Learned not to do it.

Put the ball on the floor with bigs? Learned not to do it.

Chest passes from half-court? They get picked off.

I constantly have to think on my feet and find good shots. It's not so frustrating anymore because if I turn it over or miss a lot of shots I know it's my fault for doing so.

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

Starting to dislike this game more and more
The rebounding and defense just come nowhere near 2k in my opinion and I like the AI in 2k10 DC better than this demo.

I like the fact that you can't dribble in traffic too much, but I think it's a little overdone, but if touched up a little bit, that'll be a nice feature. Still like the way shooting is done, although I think it gets into the contact shot animations a little too much.

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

Anyone else diggin' the big man dunks..I threw down the nasiest dunk last night(Dwight from Jameer on Pau) from just under the ring on the right hand side...its actually hard to explain. I wish we had replay in this because that was honestly the best most realistic dunk i've ever seen in a computer game! IMO the rim sounds are fantastic..

just had to tell someone lol

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

The ball is getting stolen from me WAY to much, everytime i go into the lane seems like. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

Also it seems like the CPU makes EVERY shot!

Can someone please help me with these issues?
