The website for NBA Live 10 launched earlier this evening and with it came new screenshots and what appears to be the slogan for this year. The site also confirms the already known date of Tuesday October 6th for release.

The slogan is “Authentic basketball experience…all season long”. This is clearly referring to the Live 365 feature but also points towards the desire to produce more of a sim game that has the authentic touches (such as unique player routines) that fans can get really excited about.

There are four new screenshots that can be viewed in the gallery. Leave your thoughts on them in the comments!

    They look much improved from 09. It'l be interesting to see the game in motion.

    P.S. Why is the spurs jersey so gray? I feel like it should be as black as goodens arm band. 2k9 had the same issue with certain teams' black uniforms

    Looks okay. I still think the lighting is way off. 2K Courts look great compared to Live. I was a big fan of Live when there was no real competition, but once 2K hit the market it was over for Live.

    finally the us airways center isnt dark like the staples center, and im assuming that all the "lighted" arenas will be that way in the game

    Looks improved from last year. Still looks too cartoony though. I'll hold off judgement until it comes out but I don't have high expectations for Live. If they nail the gameplay (which I doubt they will) then I'll live with cartoony graphics.

    Pasta, I know this is off topic, but when can we expect the patch for NCAA 10 on the 360? I know the PS3 got it yesterday. Also it would be cool if you could post some gamertags of people who are posting named rosters. I'm having to search all over to find who will be uploading them.

    Hearing all of these people comparing NBA Live to NBA 2K just makes me wanna LMAO! It's like comparing getting stabbed to getting shot, both hurt and both can be fatal. The truth is NBA Live sucks and NBA 2K suck just as much they both came in 2nd in a 2 man race whoopie! It is beyond me that a decade ago basketball video games where the best out of the sports bunch now after 15 years of mediocre BS they still can't get it together.

    Madden has made significant strides, NHL has made a huge comeback, FIFA is the world's fav sport and has a great game, MLB the Show might just be the best game period on any console and then you have that sorry excuse for a game called NBA LIve. It's not even fun. When you play FIFA or NHL teamplay most people stay for the whole duration. When you play NBA Live everybody quits mid-game as the controls are a joke. How is it that we still don't have decent rebounding in a game? Why in 2K u have that retarded meter for every shot? Both games r weak and you know what the worse part is? That because their is no other competition they will use these weak game engines for the next 3-4 years. Yall have fun playing that weak excuse for a game Live and 2K, I'll be hitting the courts taking out my frustration on the kids in the park.

    I got a little side-tracked looking at all of the awesome Madden screens, but yeah, the this game looks good too.

    I don't know why but basketball games still always seem to have those awkward moments where you're just starting to get sold on the graphics and then something weird happens.

    It is exciting to see them working on this and I really think this year is going to be a good one for Live.

    Not impressed. In a video game player models are very important. If I was a game developer, the 1st thing I will get right is the player models because that's the first thing people see. Its hard to look at other positives if the player models are not appealing to the eye. I guess they still don't understand that concept even today.

    Reading up on operation sports. Deron William's pic is him biting his upper lip on the pass. Stephenson states that they are implementing facial express in game, interesting. Hopefully its more than 4 different expressions.

    Player models have been an issue, in terms of player body types. Most players were too skinny and too cut. Every year felt like a progression in terms of player faces except for NBA Live 09. They weren't necessarily bad, but didn't feel like a step forward for Live 09.

    Very perceptive. The staples center in reality has a unique lighting system when compared to any other team in the NBA. Jeanne Buss was recently on "The Herd" with Colin Cowherd and she made mention of such. The lakers tend to keep the stands more dark than other arenas bringing the focus on the court.

    btw tony parker looks pretty good, this game is not horrible, its just that they have some work to do gameplay wise before they get even close to 2k.

    What i'd like to have some one explain is why EA tends to take things out of the game like the ability to raise your players arms for shot or pass interference. Isn't that a fundamental you learn playing basketball as a kid. I thought part of the selling point for nextgen was the ability to add much more information on disc but instead they just seem to keep making things pretty visually but leaving out even the basics. what's the point of taking features away? What I want is authenticity in gameplay as well as appearance.

    lol i love how on one article on the nba live site, the developer is like "NBA Live is back… thats right i said it.. and i mean it" LMFAO!
    IT WAS NEVER THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!! 2k has killed live in sim-style gameplay every year for the past 10 years!! The critics have agreed every single year since NBA 2k first came onto the scene.

    You're right that both Live and 2K have flaws in their basketball games, but I think you dissed the wrong game when you mentioned the meters for shooting. You were actually talking about the Sony game called NBA 09: The Inside. Have you played NBA 2K9? It is clearly the best basketball game out of the 3. Sure it has a lot of flaws, but every game does, right?

    "Graphics: The players are more detailed than last year. The faces and skin textures are better and the arenas look like they should. White players don't look like mutants for once. " quote operation sports or just about any where you will read a reveiw about the 2k. Graphics and models in Live are hit or miss. Cabrillo one day you will realize that everywhere you read except on here that Nba live is getting thrashed in graphics and gameplay compared to 2k basketball. Not even close buddy. Try again this year and we will see. I do live will step it up and force 2k to add more to the game.

    Okafor, who is comparing 2K to Live? I sure wasn't. You said you didn't like DWill's pic and you told me to reference DWill's 2K9 pic and I did, and that kind of trashed the point you made earlier. Stick to the argument at hand instead of running over the place as you always do.

    Thanks for showing some love here stephenson, you have some hardcore bball gamers on here as well, just not OS & Sean, DWill has been having thinning hair, especially near the top of his head. A few more years and he'll be shaving it.

    I think for the most part the feedback has been positive with the visuals, but obviously the last two years people have been demanding more out of game play than anything. I'm sure you will get into it soon, but in the mean time, you're not going to win anyone over with the whole "wait and see thing". Until they see it, they won't believe it. Good job on the visuals though, and hopefully you guys can get the Spurs jersey right, I think that has been the biggest complaint on O/S.

    Totally. We know where it counts this year. As for the Spurs jersey, it's the lighting on the jersey making it look "grey," but we'll lighten the sleeve a bit because know accessory should be pitch black like that. That's just a bad image.

    How does not knowing that Deron Williams has thin hair on his head have any relation to how much I play basketball video games?

    I think people would be more satisfied to see a darker jersey vice a lightened sleeve. Could you guys compromise? Lighter sleeve and darker jersey….meet half way? Take it as a compliment that people are being this granular, that means you guys are hitting other bench marks when it comes to visuals.

    Wow jazz in 3 of the 4 screen shots didnt see that one coming, deron i slosing his hair some but not the way that live shows it. Plus they didnt really get his beard. Ak for once actually looks good, i think.

    Pat get off rocks. Any review or critic you will read will tell you about the realism of the players models and faces on 2k. Live seems to base player models on the cover boy of the game. maybe that will explain all the malnourished players they had last years version of live.

    I agree with making the jersey darker. One of my biggest pet peeves with NBA 2k9 is that the Spurs black jersey's and Bulls black jersey's look grayish black. It doesnt look right, especially when next to the actual black color of the wristband, elbow pads, etc…

    I get the whole lighting thing and the fact that you're going for realism, but in all honesty it looks the opposite of authentic and would look much more realistic if the Spurs jersey didnt looked washed out in lighting for 95% of the game. Plus thats not what they looked like on my tv during the playoffs or in that picture of the Spurs that i believe some posted earlier.

    The players models already look a lot better then they did last year. kudos.

    Its good to see you really diving into the community stephensonmc. It has really changed my perception of EA's approach. I can imagine how difficult it is to take heavy criticism from fans that may not know much about the creation process, ecpecially while your invovled in that process on a day to day basis. Much Props

    Walterberry, curious to hear your thoughts on how you think our NBA LIVE players don't look like their real-life counterparts..

    I hear this occasionally, and if it's something we're fundamentally doing wrong, I'd love to know.

    2k's player models in 2k9 were far ahead of live 09!! check ur facts whoever said that.

    just compared these pics:

    2k9: http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2008/feature...

    Live:http://ll-741.ea.com/easportsworld/media2/nba09/4...

    there is a drastic difference in those two screens, 2k is by far ahead in graphics as of nba 2k9.

    or this

    NBA 2k9 :http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article...

    Live 09: http://www.juegomania.org/NBA+Live+09/foto/ps3/0/...

    the graphics in Live look like they have a glossy effect added to them, while 2k's models look much more suttle and dull like actual people. Just compare them closely and unless you are blind, you can notice that 2k is far ahead of live 09 in graphics. If you put them both side to side on a 1080p HDTV, and asked someone which one looks more like TV, They would say 2k9 by a landslide.

    Just look at screens and videos of both 2k9 and Live 09 or watch two screens or put two videos of each game side by side, and you will clearly see that 2k9 looks more like a real TV broadcast and if you zoom in, you will see every clear detail on the players faces.

    Figured that would be the reason. 2K9 and LIVE 09 are games of the past, and we agree that LIVE 09 wasn't up to snuff from an all-around perspective. With that said, we've made some major improvements with NBA LIVE 10 that I think you guys will be pleased with.

    i played all LIVE games and it's really sad that each version has some of the same old animations.You must understand that your game ,until now,is WEAK and you can't fool all the people all the time.We don't need improvements.We need a new game.BUILT a new game from scratch.That would be awesome…

    Watch this though 2k has a almost complete max out graphics and almost max out gameplay and soon 2 be max out presentation its the little things that 2k is fooling around with rotation, glitches, morphing etc. Yeah its just the same game but they done got the basic aspects of a basketball game down pack. But for live, there messing up on the key part of basketball, the gameplay and when you mean live fixes the game, that doesn't completely makes them good it makes there game product same bad with all those problems that should of almost been fix since they start fixing it. One more thing i'm not a 2k or live fanboy i research and decide the best bball game.
    I'm pulling for nba live 10 still.
