EA Sports has released a new video featuring a few of the improvements that have been made directly to the gameplay for NBA Live 10. Producer Mike Wang describes the hustle plays, sizeups, and rebounding. The hustle plays and rebounding especially were areas that needed to be worked on going into this year and it looks like they’ve made significant enhancements in those areas.

Continue on to watch the video and leave your thoughts in the comments!

o my god live 10 look to sick man yall need to get of 2k bandwagon 2k9 was wack last year if you think 2k9 was realistic cleary you dont know basketball as of right now live looks better then 2k the player movement alot more realistic the dribble system is killin 2ks stiff robotic dribble system

http://intensedebate.com/people/DrLogic DrLogic

Your'e ridiculous.

2k9 was less realistic then Live 09? really?

Why don't you keep it in your pants for Live 10 until you at least play the demo.

Making statements likes the ones you have been posting only set you up to look like an idiot when both games finally drop. I'm sure they will offer different things as they always do, and yes Live 10 looks to have improved tremendously but its august…….relax.

OMG, Devin Harris has his crossover & correct kicks plus they included Courtney Lee's playoff mask (he's #41 though, LoL). Thank You EA Sports!!!, Now if the PA announcer says something like "C-Lee or Brook Lopez off the YI-sy feed" or sounds like the Lakers PA guy i'll go nuts. I'm very impressed.

That is very true. It is a very good video with major improvements on display but If thats all it takes for you to hand the crown back to NBA Live then I feel bad for you……As you probably spewed the same nonsense last year and the year before that about Live 08 and Live 09 and we know how that worked out.

While I am glad to see the new Live dev team going back to basics, there is no way Live 10 will be better then NBA 2k10 simply by adding things displayed in this video. As others have been posting, 2k has had most of the things seen in this video for a couple years now.

Live 11 will be NBA Live's window of opportunity to snatch 2k faithful away, Live 10 is simply the first step in the right direction, so calm down.

Why don't we all wait until we can actually play the games. For example, this new "size up" button, does it make it easier to drive right to the hoop? Will defense suffer because of it? We don't know until we play the games. What I'm saying is you're both retarded.

Ryan

man 2k rapes nba live they got that new my player shit come on now and the game is more real 2k has had players divin and goin after the ball 4 yrs nba live just late

it looks pretty good know that we can finally dribble unlike last years version………. But i think live needs to make a big announcment involving a new feature because NBA2K10 My Player feature will be the sticking point if one is unsure which one to buy. i had every intentoin on buying live again this year and not buy the 2k series but if live dosent have be a pro its gonna be tough not to buy 2K.

I never get tired of these videos with a developer basically saying that last year's game was a worthless piece of crap but this year's game will be awesome… Let's see what they'll have to say about Live 10 next summer…
I will have an opinion the day I'll see some actual in-game footage. So far, the hustling for the ball part makes me think that you can expect a lot of plays with some players literally flying out of bounds to keep a ball in bounds.
I also think that this vid really made the Suns fans happy. Steve Nash looks like the reigning MVP in it ! I hadn't seen him taking the ball to the hoop like that since 04/05…

http://intensedebate.com/people/jonathanglapion jonathanglapion

I think a new team coming in has a write to say what they have created is better, this is a new team.

And I heArd that 2k have a career mode this year Live step up your game eventhought your ttook wang does mean your taking over basketballl one person don’t make a game. Mo diddley the man with the plan and the man with the stick ask your mother cause I have a huge dick

Mo, my dude, Live has Be A Pro, already, if u didn't know that. Now, if they flesh it out more, that's another story. Not trying to defend Live, necessarily, but Live is stepping their game up. Live actually does have certain things I like about it over 2K such as using the right stick for doing your moves, which is now going to be split with the left joystick (should be interesting,eh? lol), the pick and roll/pop/fade system, the low post game, on the fly offensive play calling for individual players on your team along with on-court diagrams of the plays (hotness), 365/ DNA (may be the best innovation of all, especially since they say they've much improved it this year. We'll see), better arena sounds, better commentary with not as much repetition as 2Ks, and the controls, to a degree, felt better, overall, than 2Ks, imo, outside of the responsiveness, which I hear they did try to patch 09 last year which helped (I only played the 09 demo but bought 08). 2K has mostly more animations and the designers uber detailed oriented. I was glad 2K brought back the player controlled double clutch/change shot move that's been missing since Live, uhh, one of those old Live games. I don't understand how b-ball games have been missing this for so long.

Anyway, EA is trying to get what should be in the actual game of b-ball. They admit that their games have been void of what shoulda been there for a while, now.Try to be unbiased in your approaches, sometimes. I was a 2K b-ball guy for the longest but I never hate and stay hateful against something because I enjoy something more than the other. It sounds ridiculous and, honestly, a person just makes himself look stupid and childish coming off that way, not impressing anyone.

wow , so basically EA's strategy is to put in features that have been in 2k since NBA 2k4! just pathetic. do they realize they are 6 years behind? when a company focuses their improvements on rebounding and hustle plays, you know they are desperate. these are two fundamental basketball features. and they are just putting them in now? and how about that traitor mike wang? just pathetic wow.
Tim C.

WOW!! We're talking about diving for lose balls and saving balls from going out of bounds!? That's Incredible and it's something i've never seen before implemented in a video game!! LOL. 2K had this for the longest time and LIVE just now is trying to make it a selling enhancement!? This shows u how far behind LIVE is compared to 2K. Diving and saving balls is just part of basketball and should have been implemented from day 1, until LIVE gets the fundamental gameplay of Basketball101 right, there's no way it can surpass 2K and even if they get it right, i would still trust 2K for it's gameplay since it's ways ahead LOL.

hey it's the time of the recession, ppl go wherever the money is. Then they say things to convince the fanbase that it wasn't about the money but it was because of the "direction" of the former company was going….Bullcrap

Last year Live was knocked for not having certain aspects of the game implemented into its game (better rebounding, hustle plays etc) and now that they do put it in, I see a lot of "2K had it first, 2K has had it since then" If it makes sense to put it in the game and is an actual reflection of whats on the basketball court, how can you really knock it? I'm happy that they are putting this into the game, as basic as it sounds.

2K is hooking up with 82games.com so they can have their own "DNA" feature, but you don't hear people saying "Live had DNA first." Point I'm trying to make is, if it makes sense, why not implement it?

I swear some of you fanboys in here…just makes me wonder if you're really gaming fans at all or if you stock invested in these companies.

Tim C.

But why do they act that it's a feature worth mentioning and it is only implement NOW when it's just the basics of basketball? It just shows you how far behind NBA LIVE is compared to 2K in the gameplay department which is the main component that consumers should look into when they buy a game.

I don't buy a game to look at it, i buy a game to play it and 2K has been superior in this aspect for the longest time, it's just now that LIVE is slowly realizing that the reason why they are best every year is b/c of their gameplay fundamentals.

http://intensedebate.com/people/cabrillo24 cabrillo24

Tim, at what point do they say this is a new feature? These are gameplay enhancements. The number 1 complaint about Live was the gameplay, so they've been pushing gameplay.

As for 2K being superior. At most they have been a mediocre franchise thats been heavily flawed; however, better than NBA Live. 2K basketball compared to other sports games has been a joke.

2K's success has been driven by the short comings and failures of NBA Live, so please get off the 2K bandwagon and actually see it for what it really is.

For some reason, I continue to have faith in Live, even though I haven’t bought it since ’06 xbox. But I cannot support adding stupid features that should have been in it for YEARS. honestly, 2K5 had the sizeup. That’s sad, EA. I’ll continue to watch the progress of the game, but right now I’d rather play Live 2004.

fo real 2k fanboys get out, and everyone keeps refering these to features their not their improvements i will just wait for the demos to chose

DaJuice

dont get mad because Live is just adding these simple BASKETBALL moves into their game about 5 years too late. This games development is terrible.

Come on with all that live hate. All of you who are so adamantly against EA and Live shouldn't even be here. I find that live fans don't really do this to 2k games. Anyway It looks alot better than last years game. While I do find live 09 frustrating at times I still play it regularly. @ Stephensonmc we appreciate the activity within the community. What's good with getting the D-League and summer leagues in the game? Just something to think about in the future. And maybe incorporate the FIBA Tournament into the dynasty mode every few years or so?
