    While I have yet to play enough of the NBA Live 10 demo to post my formal impressions, I did want to get up at least one HD video today of a play-through. Setting the stage for this video it is from the second time I played the demo and as such I was not completely familiarized with the controls and other gameplay changes. Full impressions and more videos will go up tomorrow. Check out the 3:43-3:56 segment which is my favorite part and I didn't even realize how cool it looked until I re-...
