NBA Live 08-10

[lhslancers]

Picked these games up for the 360 real cheap maybe $15 for all three this week. I think 10 is the best without question but 8 and 9 are pretty good too. Can't understand why EA is no longer making these games they had a good start to build on with these 3 titles. I am a big fan of the 2K titles but no way are they head and shoulders above Live 10 even to this date. Too bad no one updated the jerseys and the courts. I know it's a lot of work but...

Amazing how EA dropped the BB and continued to make trash like Madden while 2K abandoned the greatest football franchise with 2K5 and APF 2K8. I know they didn't sell. Just UFB to me what sells and what doesn't.

Where did I say 2K13 was sub par compared to Live 10? What I said was the newest 2K offerings are not head and shoulders above Live 10.

I had some good times with the Live series. NBA Live 06 was alot of fun on psp and ps2. And then the last Live game ever made was great, I had alot of fun playing that on ps3.

I had lots of fun with Live 05. Live 06 (PS2) was...ok, but I didn't really like that it became more arcadish, plus players had huge heads.

Live 08...I tried to make it more sim, tried everything, messed with the sliders/settings/player edits... for months, but nothing worked. I loved the post-up game, though it was arcadish as well (that drop step spin...I stopped using it, and still it was too easy to score in the post). I loved doing those shoulder fakes.

Live 09 - I didn't like dribbling system. Though it was pretty deep (deeper than 08's, at least) I just didn't like the animations, and along with the stickiness (glue) the game had all over it, it became boring and too repetitive for me. I did like the signature animations, and blocks were nice.

I only played Live 10's demo, and when I thought about getting it, it was hard to find it here. Except for the stupid bunny hop after every basket, the terrible color scheme (skins + uniforms) and the Live'ish animations (never really smooth), it looks like a solid game.

Talking about old Lives... can anyone explain what's the deal with the shoe?

Why do they show this shoe there, what is it about?

Can't agree with that. 2K11, 2K12 and 2K13 are all >>>>>>>> Live 10.

Can't agree with what? Maybe 10-13 are better than Live 10 but not head and shoulders above. You do know what head and shoulders above means right? Like miles better. That said I still prefer the graphics and movement on Live 10 but I guess that's a personal opinion.
