I thought about going into detail but I may be jaded due to not playing last year's game --- so for the sake of not getting burned a la "That was in the game LAST year a-hole!" I decided not to.

But I will elaborate:
The game speed, camera angle/distance, and college atmosphere seem to be what differentiate this from this year's live. It seems really well done and I noticed the flow of the game while passing the rock quickly between players (like a lot of college teams do but few NBA teams do) really stood out to me. In my game the CPU felt more like I was playing a human being for the first time ever in a hoops game. Basically the CPU seemed much more random and less easy to predict. They also changed up their defense a LOT. They'd be in a half court defense one possession but the very next possession I got hit by a nasty half court trap and turned the ball over. More later, i'ma play again!

Live 10's patch fixed a lot of the crazy "rocket dunks" that were happening and I noticed in some of the NCAA '10 videos that those dunks were present. So either in the retail or the NCAA 10 patch we'll no longer see those, def a big positive.

I'm confused... Were they in or not?

Definitely IN. But he was saying chances are since they've already patched NBA Live for it.... it won't hit the shelves with them in...

i dont own live but played the demo tons. i owned 2k10 but returned it for defense. so the controls are tough for me.

For everyone wondering Player Name indicator is there!

Ok only played one game but here are some impressions:

Presentation is amazing! Gus and Raftery talk a lot, and there's no akward silences like in those videos (atleast I didn't notice them) The stat overlays go by pretty quickly though (patch?), but its not a big deal. This crowd is insane! Best job a dev team has ever done with the crowd. Duke went on a 7-0 run on me, and the camera shook, and it was loudly as hell. And to top it off, Gus was screaming, this is College Basketball!

Gameplay is very good. Dribble moves are the best they've ever been, and the motion offense is very easy to run and well done. The passing controls are hard to get used to, but once performed well they look great. The half-court game is great, but the full-court game has me a little concerned. Will test it out more though. Also for the people that own NBA 2K10, you'll notice the amazing help D and rotations. Its very lovely when your CPU teammates can defend on their own. I am also a big fan of the coaching tips. They let me know when I didn't put the ball in the post enough.

Anyways, gameplay wise this game is very good. Now if only we get some dynasty issues fixed like recruiting and the sim engine and I'll be in heaven.
