NBA Live 10 Player Ratings
NBA Live 10 has had an extensive ratings system the past few years with a ton of different categories which was one way to differentiate the players. This year the DNA updates will have more of an affect on the ratings as real world performance will affect them on a fluid basis. I've gone through and taken screenshots of the current rosters for each team with their respective overall ratings displayed. Keep in mind that the rosters are not completely accurate and that EA has assured that a r...

NBA Live 10 Hard Drive Evaluation
With NBA Live 10 in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces. Interestingly in the case of NBA Live 10 there is only marginal improvement in the initial boot up to the main menu. In other areas there is more time saved but in ...

NBA Live 10 Requests
NBA Live 10 has arrived and as such here is the posting where you can leave a request for a specific screenshot as well as what teams you would like to see featured in the videos. I'll also be working on getting some player ratings out in the next few days. As far as screen requests please limit them to one player and yours will be more likely chosen if the comment is posted with an Intense Debate, Facebook Connect, or Twitter login. Thanks for understanding it will simply not be possible fo...

NBA 2K10 My Player Impressions
I have a love-hate relationship with career modes in sports titles. I appreciate the ability to control a single player which in turn simplifies the games and presents clear objectives and measurements of success. At the same time I've always come across certain aspects that have soured the overall experience. Those conflicting feelings continue with NBA 2K10's My Player mode. My first thought after spending time with My Player is that it's obviously vastly superior to what was offered wi...

NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video
Wanting to get up a video displaying a full playoff game, I figured what better one to go for than game seven of the NBA Finals. The sim had the Blazers knotted up at 3-3 with the Celtics with the deciding game being played in Portland. This was played on All Star difficulty and is definitely the most entertaining from start to finish of any of the videos that I have posted to date. Continue on to check out the game stats and the video of the entire game broken down by quarter. As always ...

NBA 2K10 Initial Impressions
Having spent a significant amount of time with NBA 2K10 over the last few days it felt like a good time to post some of my general impressions of the game thus far. Of course make sure to watch the videos I've posted to make your own judgments on some of the strengths and weaknesses. The demo will be out tomorrow for the 360 exclusively with the Magic @ Lakers in a single four minute quarter. From the way things have been explained it sounds like the PS3 won't see it until next Thursday. At ...

NBA 2K10 Videos Set #2
After getting up the full game Spurs @ Jazz matchup I wanted to offer a little more variety in the videos. Because they are recorded in HD it can take almost an entire day to capture, convert, upload, and process a full game's worth of vids. It becomes easier to do a quarter here and there rather than a a handful to do all at once. So here you can find a quarter of Wizards @ Knicks and Mavericks @ Warriors and the first half of Nets @ Bulls. The Nets @ Bulls matchup has the difficulty bum...
