Storylines

One of the most interesting new features, at least from a presentation standpoint, is game storylines. After all, it's not just the athletes that make a basketball game; the personality of the players, and the inevitable conflicts and rivalries that develop as a result, are a huge draw for dedicated NBA fans. Everyone remembers Shaq's return to Los Angeles in 2004 after being traded to the Miami Heat, and the expectant friction between Shaq and former Lakers' teammate Kobe Bryant. As your season progresses in NBA Live 10, you can expect storylines to develop based on players who are playing well or struggling, or between rival teams playing pivotal games. Producers said the game will include more than 100 possible storylines as the season goes on, and each will be outlined by Live announcers Marv Albert and Steve Kerr during the pregame warm-ups.

You'll know the stories heading into a game in Live 10; so too will the virtual crowd: Raptors fans will boo Vince Carter every time he touches the ball when the Magic are in town, and it won't take long for Lakers fans to get going with the "MVP!" chants when Kobe is dominating on the court.

tons of throwback jerseys (including Latino heritage-specific jerseys for certain teams)

Last year's gymnasium practice space, which served as the game's interactive front end, has been replaced with a court set inside what looks like an airplane hangar. The idea is the same however--you can load up a few of your favorite players and mess around shooting and dunking the ball before launching into a proper game.

Nice!

HAHAHAHAHA!! VC!!!!!!!! YES FINALLY!! I hope along with boos they'll chant that he sucks.

They already have it 09 when he's at the free throw line.

Oh man, I grew up with Live, last year was the first time with 2K, I want Live to return to PC... (It's not that I don't like 2K, it's amazing, Live back on PC would be return to my childhood)

Damn, the rivalries feature seems awesome. I wonder like if you trade a player and then face the team you traded him to, will there be like special intros and stuff? Or the players doing something special? Like AI, when he returned to Philly and KG when he was back in Minny.

Mike Wang seems like quite an intelligent individual so if anybody can do it, he can. He was right that Live '09 didn't control or flow well or feel like basketball. I think that's why people have flocked to 2k over last few years as it feels more like basketball. Here's hoping.


Bottom right hand corner, Sean Marks everybody Looks a little like me actually, pale enough that is

But if you're in a dynasty & if Lebron jilts Cavs for Knicks, will the Cleveland fans boo him?!? Now that would be impressive & not 'canned'.

What that boils down to is more animations in the game (150 or so new animations, according to producers), as well as smoother transitions between moves and better on-floor context for those moves. <--- I would of thought more than 150 animations would of been added especially with dribbling animations being completely redone from scratch.

* I read in OS article its 150 off ball animations from players v-cutting and so forth so not 150 new animations overall.

That sounds awesome, hopefully it succeeds in adding some extra spice to Dynasty Mode. They've played around with the rivalry idea before but this sounds like it will really capture the big game atmosphere, which you need if you're playing through an 82 game season in Dynasty Mode.
