NBA Live 10 Blog: Bring Your 'A' Game - The Adidas Live Run

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

DEFINITELY want a "Be A Pro" type offline mode. PLEASE consider a mode like that for 11.

I really want to see something in Live like the EASHL in NHL. Creating your very own player, editing his look, size, appearance, position, etc... Ranking him up through games by earning EXP or a similar rating points distribution system. Throw in some team creation where you can select the logo for your team and edit its color and select the style of jersey your team wears...

This mode sounds great. Hopefully, its not a nightmare with ball hogs and unsportsmanlike players. I really hope you guys build on it for 11.

Same thing I was hoping for but.....Gameplay really needed an overhall I hope they look out for us in 11' and I still aint picked up my NHL 10....but yea we need a NBA League...drop the adidas license have customizable home courts and a huge creation system.

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

This sound like a fun mode if you can find the right guys to team-up with.

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

This player choosing option is a good idea, but I hate how "arcade" the gameplay is. It doesn't look like there's any skill or strategy involved - looks like a dunk fest and a non-stop scoring race. lame. if you could adjust the settings to play more sim if you want, that would be ideal, but I don't like how it forces you to play in this unrealistic dunk-fest style.

Chia commented above that this mode should be called "ball hog live" which sounds about right - looks like a bunch of dunk-happy cheesers trying to score as soon as they get the ball - no strategy, no plays, no picks - just scoring...I don't feel like I would be proud to be the top team because it's not based on skill or strategy. I just have no interest in the gameplay style of this mode at all. I could see how a bunch of 12-year-olds would like this mode because it encourages non-stop dunking and a lack of intelligence, but for an adult like me this mode doesn't offer much.

I liked it better when it was called NBA Jam and it was 2v2 lol

I'll stick to just ranked games... at least this will get rid of some of the kids that JUST pick the Lakers so they can try to do everything with Kobe

SWEET JESUS IN A BIRCHBARK CANOE GIVE US PROGRESSIVE FATIGUE FOR ONLINE PLAY SO THAT WE HAVE TO PLAY BENCH PLAYERS

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

For the type of "pick-up" game mentality it's trying to recreate, it doesn't sound out of place to have people ball hog. I mean, unless you go to the park or gym with 5 guys you're always going to get on teams where people will hog / and or never run any offense. However, there is a "squad" based mechanic which allows you to play with people you know.

Basically I see nothing wrong with those videos, because that's pretty much how those type of games go. You're always going to see ball hogging or 1 on 1 action in gyms and parks, so why wouldn't that happen in this mode. If you don't like that approach then find 4 other good guys that like to run offensive sets, or set pick and rolls, etc...

All, I'm saying is this mode has that type of atmosphere, which I think is fine, but usually teams that don't run offenses at the park get beat by those that play together or understand basketball more. Honestly it's no different than playing a FPS online, because when you play with randoms many times you'll lose to a clan or a group of guys that went into match making together and call things out.

I can't wait to try this out with people I know. First time I'm getting live this generation. Oct 6th can't come soon enough.

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

So will this inevitably lead to teams having pretty much the same Exact team in the different squads?

PG- Paul
SG- Wade
SF- Kobe
PF- Bron
C- Dwight

Or did I miss something?

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

looks nice , but several questions:

1. can AI difficulty be changed?

2. can sliders be changed?

3. the 'non-human' players are replaced by AI, ok, but can you play a 3humans+2AI against 5 AI for example? I mean, can you play a coop game against AI?

4. Can you use a created player?

keep the good work!

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

Now, can you kick an un-cooperative player off the squad?

Yes, squad GMs can boot players.

There's the potential, but in all the games I've played the rosters are mixed up. Lots of people like to pick who they want to play with, not necessarily the best player possible.

Re: adidas LIVE Run Blog

is it me or does the gameplay look way smoother than the demo? if so, that's great. the animations look more polished than in the demo.

the feature is amazing. i can imagine getting addicted to this and playing it all night. looks awesome really. on the fence but have one leg over to live's side. for playoff/finals atmosphere and features.

Good point.

I would not use Chris Paul if I was playing point. I would run with Jose Calderon......

I know right.. I think they should put the players in different pools and only let you have 1 from each pool or something.

like LBJ/Kobe/Wade.. pick 1

D12/Dirk/Duncan/KG .. pick 1

etc
