The last couple of days have brought about a flurry of NBA Live 10 blogs and videos. Not only do they provide new information and clarity on previously announced enhancements but there are also side-by-side comparisons to 09 that display the stark differences between the two iterations.

Following up on the Hustle Plays earlier in the week comes a look at the dribble moves being referred to as “Size Ups”. There are a couple of videos here to show off the (in some cases) player specific size ups. Check out the blog posting and videos here.

There is a new visual-centric blog that focuses on the changes to body types, uniforms, accessories and more. This one features screenshot comparisons from 09 to 10 to accentuate the changes. You can check out that blog posting here.

Slam Online has a video which is centered on uniforms, sneakers, tattoos, and signature pre-game rituals. You can watch that here.

Live seems to be doing a good job of showing and explaining these enhancements to the game before they even roll into their new features. Leave your thoughts on all the blogs and videos in the comments!

Can't wait till both of these games come out. I have a feeling that they're both going to be good and hopefully at least one will be great. It's all up to basketball this year for any hope of a real sim game since Madden came with the wackness....again!

This game is making me want to cum my pants. I think i'm going to have my bf jerk me off while i play the demo when it comes out. Luv you guys <3

Several months ago I would've been caught by these "features"... Luckily, PES 5 (far better than FIFA 08 or PES 6/2007) made it clear that a bunch of features are irrevelant if the core gameplay stinks (I'd play just Play Now if the game was awesome)...

I blew money in the past, so I guess once I get a 7G console, I'll play demos before buying - and if Live sucks, I guess no flashiness and not even FIBA's going to save them (especially since I made Lithuanian national teams with Live 07 which were a lot more accurate than what was made for 09(PS2)).

The first step for me to even consider Live is that they allow importing draft classes from their college game to their nba game...

cabrillo24

I guess you won't consider any NBA game by those standards...

bruno

u can live is not gon have da same robotic movement 4m last year bcause if they use mo-cap on dribble moves and looks so fluid, so real ,dey gon do da same with the players movement !

NELL86

If you a true baller you cant tell live has more potential then 2k right now i think people like 2k cuz its a dunk fest no d dribble down the court wit shaq not gettin rip type of game. Its the presentation of 2k which make 2k fans over look the flaws of 2k

bruno

only buyin 2k10 bcause my boy is in da cover go kobe!(no homo)

Anthony Davis

NBA LIVE has changed in a year Easy 2k10 Get low cuz nba live 10 is coming for ya heads....

Live has not had the title in 10 years. What makes any sensible person think Live is gonna take the title back this year, when all anyone has seen are videos shot on $10000 television sets that the vast majority of people don't have? They are doing very well with newbies, fanboys, dreamers, and the uninformed.

jonathanglapion

What are you even talking about "$10000" Lol what the hell is that. Why do the slow and retarded try to get on here blasting people. I'm not a newbie nor fanboy and I can clearly see the direction live has shifted to. They finally have the proper team in place to create a successful product. So the difference is in the team not that fact that the product has been lacking in the past, that no secrete to anyone.

Maybe you need to stop playing games on an old tube tv set, because i'm sure the vast majority aren't using them anymore.

jusmegamer

Live always does good job at hype. To be specific all EA games are well hyped but usually fall very short of the hype meter.

okafor43

Looks like Live 10 is bringing there "A" game to play this year. Lets hope the game play will be as good as the looks.

linguini

looks great but why didn't they do this last year. did they come up with a new technology this year or what or are they just draggin you guys along. basically you're gonna pay $60 for something that they could have done last year but they waited this year to do it.

jonathanglapion

wow this makes no sense. You can really start to get a sense of the people who pay attention in class and you weren't one of them. EA has made it very clear this is a NEW DEV team, NEW FOCUS. The reason the visuals are so much more drastic is Ryan Santos, just as the gameplay will be because of Mike Wang..... it's not that hard to understand.

We don't pay $60 for something because they could have made it better, we pay it because it's what you can afford to spend for entertainment. Do you looking buying a car the same way... LOL!

pastapadre

Different dev team different focus. You saw that with Madden this year also, and NHL the year before.

Jaylon Mallory

when i saw all the Live videos i would say 2K has some competition

nittanylion14

judging on the 2k10 shots,its looks like they haven't really did nothing with the game .Graphics look the same and the games looks similar also..I didn't know the draft combine is coming out in 8 days..feels like an rushed product.

boricua

every yr live shows this videos and then 2k just cruch them lets wait till 2k show their compete gm it will make live their little sister same thing everu yr people keep falling fot it

jonathanglapion

spell check dude!

cabrillo24

People before you pass judgement on which game is better, wait till demos drop (this goes for Live and 2K fans). 2K has released very little, so Live fans don't jump the gun yet.

r00tabaga

very true...I think that 2k is being too complacent with their past successes and that 2k10 will offer very minimal change from "their formula"...I am excited for Live because there is more promise of what it can be now with Wang (he's got a lot of work 2 do)...I'll be waiting for both demos although I'm leaning Live again this year.

Bubba

i'll be looking foward to putting my dick through the center of the game disk when it comes out.

i bought live last year and i fucking shatered it because i ramed it so hard with my cock.

King

def going in right direction!

4YM3R1C

It's way too early to say that Live is back. I'll wait for the demo.
Let's just say that, it will take a lot for me to switch back to Live.

EA's YR U STR8 TRIPPIN BUT WHERE's ur LUGGAGE ????

"DUDES is LIVE TIL DA 2K's COME OUT"

white boys WON'T get it LOL pasta i'm lookin @ u (JK)

pastapadre

Just havent been on my PS3 lately to even look/accept them.

Mike

o aight no prob

walterberrypaok

what live09 really lacks in my opinion is that players don't have weight.When you control them they feel like a feather unlike 2k where they behave like humans and have momentum.Also the models for nba live 10 seem to be better than last year but the movement of shorts is unrealistic.It destroys the whole image of a player moving up the court.2k is still better in this department.
Instead of all these things i really thing that NBA LIVE 10 is going to surpass 2K10 in sales as it provides more new material for the consumer.And when you pay you sure want something new and cool.

thereal35

walter from your comment you can tell you didn't play live 09, how can 2k9 have better mometum when the damm game doesn't even have right footplanting everybody knows the game is notourious for having sliding players. An live is not gonna bet 2k in sales just because EA is releasing vids early.

cabrillo24

Movement of shorts? Nitpicking comment of the week right there. Shorts look like they move fine to me.

walterberrypaok

the ugliness is still here because no matter how mike wang tries the basis for this game is live09.A disappointing game.Nice things and ideas from 2k series r apparent this year with the dribble moves and the collision system but i will have to look really deep to see if the gameplay has any sort of real depth that can hold me at least for a whole game of 12 minute quarters.

bruno

haateeerrr!

cabrillo24

I think they weren't necessarily taking it from the 2K series, rather they wanted to translate what was actually in the game onto the court. The size ups can be seamlessly integrated into quick strike dribbling and is completely user controls vice scripted animations (something that is different from 2K),

As for the hustle plays, it's something else found in the real NBA. For you two say that they took 2K gameplay aspects is unsound. That's like saying "NBA Live had free throws in it first, 2K copied them" That would be a ludicrous statement because of the fact that free throws are an integral part of an NBA game.

Jerome

Graphics are actually better along with Lighting & Shading and body type is pretty cool feature. I beleive 2k will be better tho.

cabrillo24

Lebron's arm, wow. Hopefully the game looks just when its in motion.
