NBA Live 10

Of all the sports, which may be turned into video games, none of them are as simple as basketball. The rules are fairly simple, the qualification is not particularly complicated, and the presentation is fairly simple. Enter "NBA Live 10", the last entry in the venerable franchise, EA Sports. It's only five guys, a ball and a hoop, is not it? Maybe not.

The Basics

Suit with one of the 30 teams in the National Basketball Association, for games through exposure, bows in playoffs, and multi-season dynasty.

The heights

Ultra-Smooth Flow

Much of the basketball is on speed and pace of the game, especially when working with teams like the Suns and the Cavaliers, which greatly in the transition game. Hoops Video games tend to slow down everything, but 'NBA Live 10 "the pace keeps up. It is a constant flow that is not fast arcade-style - basically as fast as an NBA game is to move.

Player-specific skills

More than any other sport, basketball is a game for individuals. A man can absolutely bring the other four on the ground for victory (just watch) the Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron in the first two years. And if a player is hot, it can mean the entire game. "NBA Live 10" includes the situation and act accordingly. Each player can get hot at any time and change the content of the game. To move during a Knicks game with my beloved, I succeeded by a handful of theatrical quality, with Al Harrington, who manages the Knicks lead to victory. It's like the old "He's on fire" trick "NBA Jam" save for Basketball ball real flames.

Camera-Ready Presentation

Although NBA Live 10 "bears the mark with ESPN to the substance in the game is totally stolen dissemination of TNT, which treat them as a basketball crazy Sideshow, it is in general. It is a compliment that all the graphics, repetitions, and play-by - (Care Marv Albert) play together to make one of the most beautiful Doppelgangers shipment I ever seen.

The Lows

Overcomplication

The biggest problem with "NBA Live 10" is the commitment to the strategy as part of the game. For someone who is regularly in the NBA, they know that for every well-designed games, there are a dozen executions are just a lot of physical prowess. "Would like to call NBA Live 10" that every time a piece of the Word, which slows down the game and makes it a bit unbalanced. It would be better if the play calling system was somewhat more effective and intuitive, but after many, many games, I found myself whistling shot clock violation, and I tried to take a position for a pick-and-roll.

Limited Options

Given all the mini-games that are competing in the "NBA Inside 10", "Live 10" is pretty spartan. There is nothing to do but play basketball. No competition of skills, no dunk contest, not two games against two pick-up. It makes the whole thing a little musty. There is not even really a form of practice, except for an agreement on the menu screen that lets you close a handful of giants. So I have to break at the menu screen as a way of the action.

Nitpicky details

I know the answer to this has to do with contracts and sponsorship, but it is strange that the arenas in the game so specific and yet are Madison Square Garden, called "New York Knicks arena. This is nitpicking, yes, but if everything is correct , is this kind of thing really extraordinary.

Final Word

"NBA Live 10" looks and sounds good and looks good, but it seems that there should be more about them. Regardless of the size of fate gameplay is the fact that the overall outlook is not derailed goal. Think of "NBA Live 10", as Darko Milicic: fundamentally sound, but certainly not a superstar, a plateau.
