NBA Live 10 Critic Reviews

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.

A game that features numerous upgrades guaranteed to please hoops fans who love rainbow threes and rim rattling dunks. On top of that, it has one of the most impressive sounding crowds this side of FIFA 10, and those 20,000 screaming maniacs make all the difference.

NBA Live 10 is a great basketball experience for both the casual and hardcore fan and proves to be the series best outing yet.

NBA Live 10 shows continued improvement for the series. But in classic EA fashion, this feels incredibly iterative. The improvements of this latest iteration are impressive nonetheless, but it feels like a long road to one truly great basketball game to grace our consoles, a revolutionary and defining game of its genre.

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.

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.

NBA LIVE 10 is the best basketball game to be released this year with plenty of new ideas and tweaks over the previous title.

NBA Live is back on track to try to get the crown of the best basketball game on the market. Still some things are missing to achieve this goal, but it's a highly enjoyable and fun basketball game.

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.

What is on offer is probably a series high and it begs the question as with many of EA’s titles right now, what can be done next?

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.

NBA Live 10 is a fantastic upgrade to the series as it focused more on what was wrong with previous versions instead of trying to substitute them with more features.

NBA Live 10 has shortened the gap separating it from the winner’s glory… from NBA 2K10, that is. Its major assets are once again the incredible graphics and the excellent audio. Gameplay wise too, this is an excellent game and the feeling is that its rival is not so far after all. But all we can say for now is: maybe next year.

NBA Live 10 is a vastly improved game, making key strides in the areas of AI, controls, and atmosphere. While there are a few stumbles here and there, hoops fans sour on the franchise will be pleasantly surprised with what the developers were able to accomplish.

NBA Live 10 can easily stand toe to toe with NBA 2K10, a franchise that now no longer holds complete sway over the genre. The flow of the games, the resourcefulness of the AI, and the immersion factor provided from the fantastically dynamic crowd, all serve to make this an absolutely worthwhile pickup.

NBA Live 10 offers huge improvements in its gameplay side, and looks and sounds great. A welcome upgrade for the franchise.

NBA Live 10, while it certainly has issues that people are going to gripe about, is exactly what the series needed to fire up its dwindling fan base and add new players alike. The gameplay is nicely refined and emulates real basketball with much greater success than past games.

Basketball gamers know what they want and it seems like the step back taken by EA Canada last year is making sense this year. Improving on last year’s new features, refining the gameplay mechanics, not adding anything major and removing what wasn’t necessary, it resumes what NBA Live 10 is. Fans of the franchise will certainly love this year’s game and basketball gamers in general will spend a few quality hours with it.

NBA Live 10 is a clear upgrade from last years edition and is another step in the reclaiming the crown of king of the court.

Not a huge leap forward but certainly a step in the right direction. New passing system is pretty solid and the game looks really good. Lack of options in defense is the biggest downside of NBA Live10.
