    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.

    It’s not without its quirks and imperfections, but NBA Live 10 gets enough of the fundamentals right that it’s hard not to be excited about EA has in store for next season.

    EA Canada has taken huge steps to create one of the most impressive and enjoyable basketball titles in recent years, and if they’re able to continue and improve upon the core mechanics they’ve instituted this year, Live just might usurp NBA 2K’s throne in another year or two. It’s not quite there yet, though. Despite the vast improvements, it’s a bit rough around the edges.

    Overall NBA Live 10 is a significantly improved title from last year and you could even argue it's the best game in the series so far.

    NBA Live 10 proves that you don’t have to be a basketball fan to like this sort of games. Especially because of the accessible gameplay, everyone can enjoy this great basketball title.

    I enjoyed myself while playing Live 10. It's slick and mostly captures the feel of NBA basketball. I hope that next season, Live takes the new, inexperienced player into account and helps them learn to enjoy the game as much as the hardcore player.

    Much improved, but still behind 2K10. [Christmas 2009, p.93]

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
