Gamespot has posted up a full preview of NBA Live 10 that focuses on player ratings and Dynamic DNA. Different gameplay elements such as changes to controls are also discussed. You can check the preview out here.

According to producers, the NBA Live team barely scratched the surface of what Dynamic DNA could do with NBA Live 09. This time around, the data being pulled into the game has been expanded–with more categories of stats being used–and that data will surface in the game in a slightly different way. Most importantly to me, though, is the process of how the Live team is handling their player ratings.

Other sites have posted up hands-on impressions based on receiving the demo early. The demo includes the Magic @ Lakers in an NBA Finals game with two four minute quarters. Among those sites offering thoughts on the demo are Operation Sports, GCHD, and GameZone. Its somewhat difficult to get a feel for the game from those however considering the restricted conditions.

Lord that looks nice. i don't judge these types of videos because you have to consider the level of the person playing and this is a good example of two people playing terrible basketball. The game looks amazing and I like all the body contact i'm seeing.

Kobe trying to bump his way to the paint was real nice. thanks for the link…..hahaha.

For me 2K always had better gameplay though their controls started to get a little ridiculous last year. I felt like I had to do some type of Tekken or Street Fighter joystick move just to perform a dunk (Wow a Tekken reference). My biggest problem with Live and this may seem stupid to every one else but Live's Franchise mode has always been lame. 2K's "Association" is just much deeper and more realistic. Since I don't play people head to head online, a Franchise mode is what keeps me playing the game over and over again. I go with 2K for the obvious gameplay but "Association" mode is by far much more fun than what Live has ever offered. This year may change that but with all the hype EA is putting out about gameplay enhancements I doubt they are doing anything to their Franchise mode features. I hope I'm wrong in thinking that. As always thanks for the info Pasta, I can't wait for the demos.

Just so you guys are aware in the "gamersyde" video, those two users were playing on "Rookie" which is a dramatically different experience than on our recommended setting "All-Star." Read Mike Wang's descriptions of the difficulty modes and you'll see that there are certain basic functions that we turn off on Rookie.

Have faith guys…you'll enjoy the demo!

I think what i find so interesting about the 2K fans is how insanely angry they get about NBA Live. It's as if EA is the IRS for them, forcing them to purchase the game every year or they will be subjected to jail time or lose of wages. You won't see any the close to these type guys complaining about Ford putting out a new car with nothing but gimmicks and their evil marketing department forcing people to buy their product using black magic. How dare they list any new features or talk about improving on anything…… that's just evil.

If it's not the game you buy whats the point in bitching about the game, why would you even care if you are so satisfied with the product you purchase and prefer.

to jonathanglapion: it's worst than IRS.If last year's attempt to buy 2KSPORTS was successful you wouldn't be here talking like you know everything.
