  1. It shows just how much the company cares about this series, and the hard work and dedication have paid off in spades. All I can say is even you have played or preferred the 2K series in the past; you owe it to yourself if you are a fan of the game, to take this one to the hoop.
  2. NBA Live 10 looks great, and finally plays great as well. The Dynamic Season mode is the highlight of the game, and is worth the price of admission by itself.
  3. The game's focus on the fluidity and feel of real basketball is a great direction for the franchise, even at the expense of revolutionary new gameplay modes.
  4. Electronic Arts have delivered a pretty good package here for the fans, it looks the part, plays well, and has a good selection of game modes to keep most people happy.

    NBA Live is definitely back. Tight controls, amazing visuals (stand a few feet away from an HDTV and you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between NBA Live and Live TV) brilliant audio and deep features (that I've yet to completely explore) make this a real winner in my opinion. You won't be disappointed. Expand

    Its Straight i guess. definetely needs the all star competitions back. adn the ai could be way smarter. i thinkit would be better if the had seperate buttons for shooting and dunking though. other than that its very addicting. the real life likeness of nba stars are definitely a plus. Expand
