NBA LIVE 10: Bring on the Demo

Posted On: Sep. 10, 2009 3:51 PM EST By: sk88z 19 Comments

Hi LIVE fans! Well, the long wait is almost coming to an end. You’re finally going to get a small taste of the new and improved version of Live via the NBA LIVE 10 demo. Sorry, PS3 users, you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer - but don't worry, the demo will be hitting PSN next week. So before the downloading begins, we thought it would be good to let you know what to expect, give you a controller config, and quick rundown of the new gameplay features.

The demo will be 2 quarters of play (4 minutes each) using the Orlando Magic at LA Lakers. You’ll also have access to the new hangar environment when you boot up the game. Here, you can try out some of the new dribble moves and get a feel for all the new shot controls as well. Press the A (Cross) button to cycle through the different players and try out different signature shots. It’s also helpful to just locomote around with different players to get a feel for how the different players move, as each individual in the league will have a unique feel/momentum based on their agility, weight, ball handling ability, and other factors. Keep an eye on the hint boxes in the lower right hand corner as you shoot around in the hangar as well as they’ll give you valuable tips on how to be successful in this year’s game.

  • PeegeePlayer said September 11, 2009

    Why do they always mess around with PS3 users .. i don't get why we have to wait. everything goes to 360 before PS3

  • Pride G said September 11, 2009

    yes that i can say 360 is better? because i have both and 360 already comes with HD and i remember last years live was not looking to right on ps3 without HD its much better on 360

  • xxEastwick08 said September 11, 2009

    everything goes to 360 because we pay for ONLINE and ya cheap ass ps3 ppl dnt pay 5hit so they give 360 all the early stuff...yeah just gotta wait a week...but we will surely tell u how the game is PS3 users OK

    i have both systems btw

    i bought the 360 1st (much better system and online)

    ps3 2nd (online features are a55)

  • mich-knobest said September 11, 2009

    Hey Mike Wang im not usually like this but this game better have some new real

    real good stuff on it. i wanted u guys to have a superstar mode on it like madden

    but im guessing the game is already done. THE THING IS U CANT MAKE NEW GAMES BY

    JUST HOOKING UP THE GRAPHICS, GOTTA GIVE A WHOLE LOT MORE TO THE GAME. AND I KNOW

    U GUYS R GONNA COMMENT BUT RESPECT MY OPINION.

  • KingD2K7 said September 11, 2009

    ^^^^

    We have ALL been waiting for a Superstar Mode.. A REAL Superstar Mode.. Not a player lock and calling it "Be a Pro" or whatever they called it on 09.. Played it one time, didn't even finish the first quarter.. Was really let down.

    Superstar Mode... Please.

  • KdubTeXasV2 said September 11, 2009

    lol i think nba live 11 should have the wnba on the game yay...

  • SLAVEMASTER14 said September 11, 2009

    That's a great idea, the WNBA is a great league and I would love to play the game. It would be so cool to play with players that can't dunk(with the exception of 2 or 3 players), and miss a lot of shots. And who doesn't want to see the super fun crowds of dikes and old people, sometimes there are like over 20 people at some games. YAY! WNBA RULES!!!

    Good:

    * Arena atmosphere is great, best I've ever heard in basketball games

    * commentary

    * jerseys move around not stiff like in previous games

    * physics are much better (the net actually moves realistically this time)

    Bad:

    * Animations are very stiff and very repetitive

    * layups are way too easy to make

    * player interactions are very limited, after they make a huge dunk dunk they should be all pumped up not just skipping around or etc.

    * crowd interactions are also not on par as they tend to get excited on the most basic of plays and quiet when a crucial basket is made

    * players don't react to loose balls they just stand there

    I know i'm being very picky with all these little details but its these little details that make a game great. as far as gameplay goes its much better than previous years but is not a big step forward for the genre.

  • TreyIM2 said September 12, 2009

    mat6777 - Nice break down. I don't think you were being nitpicky, at all, because you broke it down in a constructive, civil manner. I've read those same things in regards to the impressions of the game on operation sports, and then some. Too bad I gotta wait til Thurs to test this out like the rest of us PS3ers and the 360 Silver XBLers.

  • KdubTeXasV2 said September 13, 2009

    look i was sizing up derek fishhead with J.Nelson rite, fake the *** out of him shot a 3 made it and went 2 the line for a free throw the crowd was on there feet it was crazy

  • LrOyJeNkiNs said September 14, 2009

    the ps3 is a much better system then the 360     ARE u ppl stupid

  • Jordans-GodSon23 said September 15, 2009

  • monzy35 said October 11, 2009

    I HAVE NBA LIVE 10 AND IT IS A STEP UP FROM LAST YEARS IN MANY ASPECTS. MY CONCERN IS THE DYNAMIC DNA AND HOW IT SHOULD AFFECT GAME PLAY IN THE GAME. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL THEY COULD NOT VOICE THEIR MINDS ON THIS MATTER BUT, I AM GOING TO BE BLUNT ABOUT IT...... HOW IN THE BLUE HELL MR. MO WILLIAMS IS THIS AUTOMATIC 3 POINT SHOOTER IN THE LIVE RUN ALONG WITH MR. NASH? THEIR NUMBERS ON THEIR DNA IS TRASH WHEN IT COMES TO SHOOTING FROM THE 3. HOW COME THE GOOD PLAYERS GET THE SOUR END OF THE STICK AND THESE SUB-PAR PLAYERS GET THIS HUGE BOOST? I THINK THE PATCH THAT WAS PUT IN WAS A GREAT HELP ALTHOUGH IT OPENED A WHOLE SET OF ISSUES THAT HAPPENED IN LIVE 09. I PERSONALLY FEEL YOU ARE STRAIGHT GARBAGE IF YOU CAN NOT TAKE THE ROCK TO THE CUP IF YOU HAVE TO RUN AROUND AND SHOOT ALL DAY. THE LIVE RUN IS A TEAM EFFORT BUT, I IS SOME HOW OVER SHADOWING THAT NEW FEATURE AND BEING EXPLOITED HEAVILY. WILL THIS ISSUE BE FIXED? WILL IT BE IGNORED BY YOU GUYS? I PERSONALLY FEEL YOUR DNA SHOULD BE ACTIVE IN THE LIVE RUN. FOR EXAMPLE, MR. CHRIS PAUL DNA NUMBERS PROVES HE IS DEADLY FROM THE ARCH BUT, HE IS THE SUB-PAR PLAYER COMPARED TO MO WILLIAMS/NASH WHO FOR SOME ODD REASON ARE THE ARCH GODS IN THE LIVE RUN. WHEN I PLAY OTHER PLAYERS IT IS THE SAME GRIPE WITH HOW CERTAIN PLAYERS PLAY IN THE LIVE RUN AND IN ANY OTHER ONLINE PLAY THEY ARE INJURED? IF THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE ON THE DYNAMIC DNA THEN DON'T SHORT CHANGE IT IN THE LIVE RUN. FIX THAT DAMN BLOCKING TOO. HOW YOU TO BLOCK A SHOT AND YOU TURN THE OTHER DIRECTION AWAY FROM WHERE THE BALL IS GOING. THAT IS GOING TO BE A CONCERN LATER ON THIS YEAR IF YOU DO NOT GET IT CORRECTED. NOW I WONDER IF YOU ARE REALLY READING THIS AND WILL DO SOMETHING TO GET THE ESSENCE OF BASKETBALL 100 PERCENT AND NOT 90 PERCENT. THESE ARE THE ISSUES THE LIVE RUN COMMUNITY HAVE AND I AM VOICING IT LOUD.
