The launch of the NBA Live 10 website also brought about a page describing some of the features in the game. Of the items listed only one is actually new. At this point it is probably safe to assume that they are holding back on describing the larger improvements or additions after the events of last year proved why holding off can sometimes be necessary. However it also could signal strong attention to gameplay enhancements rather than adding features. The strength of the 09 was its wide feature set so the need to expand on that isn’t great, and the developers have hinted at gameplay being the central focus for 10.

Dynamic DNA- Player and team updates based on real-world performance are transferred in-game every day. Current trades, injuries, player tendencies, streaks, and more provide the most up-to-date experience every time you hit the court.

Pick & Roll Control- Take control over both the ball handler and the screener, as you execute this fundamental two man play. Select who sets the screen, and choose whether the screener slips or rolls towards the hoop then hit them with the perfect pass or make your move.

Play in a Playoff Atmosphere- Play in a Playoff Atmosphere—Feel the emotion and intensity grow as players, crowds, and bench react to every dramatic situation. The electricity inside the arena intensifies dynamically based on rivalry games, time of year, and what’s on the line.

5 vs 5 Online Team Play- All 10 ballers on the court can now be controlled by users on 10 different consoles around the world. Now the game outcome can be completely dependent on how you play as an online squad.

Create your own highlight mix then upload the video to EASPORTS.com to show off your baller skills.

Player’s Court- Test out your moves with the best NBA players in new, cutting edge basketball facility.

Although the majority of these features are ones that return from last year they are all expected to have improvements within them. It’ll especially be interesting to see what has been done to expand on the popular DNA feature. One common request was for the inclusion of defensive tendencies.

NBA Live is a joke! They took NBA Live 08 and trashed it for the BS 09 version. 08 had it's problems but the player models where on point and the control was great but the 09 version shot that to crap. The player models are worse and they will use this engine for the next 3-5 years. 5 on 5 is not a new gameplay mode so why is EA continuing to promote this year after year? Here is my list of what they need to add:
1)Rebounding!-How is it 2009 and they still have yet to add any symbol of rebounding in their game?
2)Tip in's and put backs-That's in the actual NBA game EA so how come Tip in's aren't in the game?
3)Smart Franchise A.I.- Watching a team not place a starter back into the lineup after getting hurt is lame
4)Control-08 had great control 09 took it all away.
5)Ball Handling-I have yet to see a game outside,inside,college or professional where nobody loses the ball dribbling. Why does everyone still have Pistol Pete handles?
6) GRAPHICS- 08 had great graphics that were very realistic then they decided to go with Saturday morning cartoon graphics for 09 WTF EA?

I thought that the whole purpose of next-generation was to push forward not regress backwards. Shoving 365 down our throats don't mean a thing if the gameplay is lacking. EA this is my promise to you until you improve your NBA Live system on what I mentioned above I will never ever ever buy your game or will I ever rent it. That is my promise to you EA and since you will probably continue to use this cartoony engine for the next 3-4 years I might see you in 2013(and that's only if I haven't converted to a better basketball franchise).

P.S. to all the NBA 2K lovers, that game stinks as well. You are only settling for it because all the basketball games on the market are lame.

NBA live is a joke i agree, but to say 2k sucks is just a dumb statement. how has NBA 2k9 dominated the sales and critics reviews for the past 9 years then huh? The gameplay in 2k is far beyond what Live has done ever. Gameplay should be one of the biggest reasons to make a sports game, and NBA live is just realizing that now? Last year they claimed they are finally "focusing on 5 on 5 basketball"? are you kidding me? what were they focusing on before, backyard basketball and labeling it as NBA live?? what a joke lmao. 2k10 will destroy NBA Live once again in both critics reviews and sales.

Hey IAN CUMMINGS I know that you read this post. I want to thank you for the excellent job so far with the Madden franchise but can you please get with the NBA Live developers to put out a better product? The foundation in NBA Live is broken and needs to be drastically rebuilt. They are dragging your team down as NHL, Madden, and FIFA are all on point and give us players satisfaction. NBA Live is like the only women in your class or job, on a normal scale she is busted but on the sliding scale you use because she's the only female you might give her some play. So IAN CUMMINGS I'm calling you out man get with the NBA Live developers and put a foot in their @$$ so they can get on point like the rest of your group.

Good day Pasta,

To your knowledge, has there been any mention of online dynasties in NBA Live as they have in NCAA and Madden?
