Dwight Howard has been chosen as the cover athlete for EA Sports NBA Live 10. Howard put up over 20ppg and nearly 14rpg during the regular season and in the postseason has averaged 21ppg and 15rpg. He has helped lead the Magic to an unlikely Eastern Conference Championship and is now fighting for the NBA title.

Featuring several innovations to the core gameplay experience and online game modes, NBA LIVE 10 is bringing a renewed focus to the long-running EA SPORTS basketball franchise. The groundbreaking Dynamic DNA service, driven by Synergy Sports Technology, will make a return in NBA LIVE 10, with significant improvements that will allow players to connect their game to the NBA season like never before.

After a year where EA went with boring basketball cover athletes in Tony Parker and Kevin Love, Howard brings back some of the excitement that used to be had with Live’s cover. In recent years Live has featured marketable and on-the-rise superstars such as Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas and Dwayne Wade. Continue on for the announcement trailer and leave your thoughts in the comments.

Kobe is the baddest player on the planet(Lebron James and wade runners up)! this was my first year ever buying and 2k sports title and after shitty ass (live 06,07,08, and 09) I'm glad i made the switch! 2k9 was the best b ball game ever made! visuals, game play, sound! blowed ea out the water! and 2k10 will only get better! i just would like to see signature warm ups (Lebron James dust before tip-off) and bench players going nut z when their team is on a run! and also i would like to see more apparel for the players(mainly more shoe selections and tattoos) and last but not least i would like the ability to run down a guy who thinks he has an easy lay-up and pin DAT shit to the glass(Lebron James, Dewayne wade)! if 2k added this stuff ea will never make b ball games again!

didnt know cover athlete's made the game….and btw you and i both know that nba2k9 was a piece of shit when it came to ONLINE, and game menus plus team up is horrible.. and stupid how they just decide to remove lobbies and have online ranked games random without even informing us. basically these two games excel in the opposite categories and if EA can make improvements to gameplay which seems like they are doing after seeing Madden and hearing them talk about Live 09 they will be in good position…

I like i like, i read through the comments and yea i kinda figured labron would want more money for doing it. Kobe would be a good choice too, it's like they couldn't go wrong with both Howard or Bryant. Prediction… next year if he has a really good year like this… derrick rose!! he's a f'n stud right now as well

Sick cover! But I feel this belongs more in Street game rather than Live.
Still, I am staying far away from this after last year's replay gltich on the ps3

Ha-ha-ha, they are copying the marketing every year: groundbreaking, significant improvements, never before… I think, at the EAs headquarter there is a huge book, a dictionary of advertisement, they are just using it all the time.

Howard was an obvious solution, I believe, EA just hired him, when it became sure, that the Magic will be in the Finals, not before. According to the video, the player models are the same again, Howard is 2x stronger in real life, his shoulders, his arms are much stronger. I do afraid, that again everybody will look like Rashard Lewis.

2K wins round 1 after they signed Kobe "Finals MVP" Bryant. Who'll win the gameplay department? Can EA deliver and beat Sega this year?
