[h1]Bring on the Demo![/h1]
10-September-2009
Hi LIVE fans! Well, the long wait is almost coming to an end. You're finally going to get a small taste of the new and improved version of Live via the NBA LIVE 10 demo. Sorry, PS3 users, you'll just have to wait a little bit longer - but don't worry, the demo will be hitting PSN next week. So before the downloading begins, we thought it would be good to let you know what to expect, give you a controller config, and quick rundown of the new gameplay features.
The demo will be 2 quarters of play (4 minutes each) using the Orlando Magic at LA Lakers. You'll also have access to the new hangar environment when you boot up the game. Here, you can try out some of the new dribble moves and get a feel for all the new shot controls as well. Press the A (Cross) button to cycle through the different players and try out different signature shots. It's also helpful to just locomote around with different players to get a feel for how the different players move, as each individual in the league will have a unique feel/momentum based on their agility, weight, ball handling ability, and other factors. Keep an eye on the hint boxes in the lower right hand corner as you shoot around in the hangar as well as they'll give you valuable tips on how to be successful in this year's game.
When you finally jump into the game, make sure you check out the various game settings to personalize the game to your taste and style of play. And remember the difficulty levels we discussed a few weeks back:
Rookie = for kids and beginners
Pro = for casual fans, pick up and play (lots of dunks)
All-Star = for the hardcore sim gamers
Superstar = for the ultra-hardcore
Also, check out the new throwback jerseys and atmosphere settings…they really add a lot of life and variation to the game.
Lastly, I just wanted to throw out a few caveats. Remember, this is NOT the final product that you'll be getting on October 6th. Because of the timing of our development schedule, we have to branch our codebase for the demo quite early. So you guys may experience some odd glitches from time to time that we've already ironed out for the full game. Either way, we really look forward to reading your feedback on the demo â€" both good and bad. And if there are things that you'd like to see changed, please let us know. We've probably either already taken care of it or we'll do our best to address any problems you might have via a patch. Also, because of demo size limitations, several features within the game are trimmed down to make it slimmer. Audio/commentary is probably the most noticeable area that gets affected.
Well, that's about it. Hope you guys have a great time with the demo. But again, please remember that the purpose of it is just to give you a small taste of the improvements made to this year's game. You won't get the full picture of the great work the Live team has done this cycle without experiencing the full version of the game on Oct. 6th. All the player/team differentiation, Dynamic DNA all year long, and new game modes (including the most engaging online experience I've ever played) are just some of the things to look forward to next month.
Here's the controls stuff I mentioned earlier. Be sure to give it a good read.

Freestyle Passing:
On Offense, while LT (L2) is held, the Right Analog stick becomes freestyle passing. Use this to quickly throw a pass one way while moving another. For better passers, this is the best way to get a flashy assist.
Direct Pass Receiver Control:
When using Direct Pass, if you keep the LT (L2) and selected receiver's button held, you can use the left stick to control where your pass recipient goes. It's a great way to quickly move the receiver to an open spot, into the post, behind the 3PT line, or to the ball carrier for the dribble handoff. Releasing the receiver's button while still holding LT (L2) will throw the pass.
Direct Offball Switch:
If you want to temporarily player lock to an offball player on offense without throwing a pass. Pull LT (L2), press the button of the guy you want to control, then release LT (L2) while still holding down the teammate's button. Now you can release the button, the pass won't be thrown, and you'll be in control of the offball player. Now you can run around and play away from the ball as if player locked.
Dribble Moves:
Like last year, you can still perform move chains out of the hesitation dribble, but we've simplified dribbling a bit by removing the need to hold down RT(R2). From the hesitation pose, move the Left Analog to the left or right for a go-move or hesitation crossover, or move the Right Analog stick down for the hesitation stepback.
Size up Moves:
To get your defender off balance and set him up for a drive, pull and hold RT (R2) while in a stationary dribble. The ball handler will perform a cool set of size up dribble moves. The longer you size up your defender, the better your chance of being able to blow by him. However, you'll be more susceptible to getting the ball stolen if the defender attempts a steal. You can string together size up moves with the new Right Stick dribble moves to get some really nice ankle breaking sequences.
Attacking Size ups and Escape dribble:
While sizing up your defender (holding RT (R2) while dribbling in place), you can move the Right Analog stick Up to perform an attacking size up dribble. Moving the Right Analog Down will trigger a quick escape dribble and allow you to reset your 1-on-1 battle.
Jumpshots:
To shoot a regular jumper, neutralize your Left Analog stick prior to hitting the Shot button. Otherwise, if your Left Stick is deflected you'll either shoot a layup, leaner/stepback jumper, runner, or floater. Experiment with the Left Stick in different situations and with different players to discover the various shot types in the game.
Layup Solutions (Basic):
When attacking the hoop, throw the Left Analog stick to either side of the basket just prior to hitting the Shot button to take your layup in that direction and evade getting blocked.
Layup Solutions (Advanced):
Pretty much every guard or swingman in the NBA has adopted the prohop, euro step, and spin layup. Now you have that control in NBA LIVE 10. When attacking the basket, hold RT (R2) and throw the Left Analog stick to the left or right when you hit the Shot button to pull off those moves.
Dunks:
When attacking the basket, hold RT (R2) when you hit the Shot button and your player will try to dunk (if he can). Don't force dunks in traffic or you might get rim stuffed.
Bank Shots:
If your Left Analog stick is deflected (in any direction) at the time you release your jumpshot, your player will try to go glass.
Pick & Roll Control:
Point your Left Analog stick in the direction of the teammate you want a screen from and press and hold B (Circle) (*note: if your Left Analog is neutral, Synergy will select the best screener for you.) Press RB (R1) to toggle back and forth between roll vs. fade. A small icon will appear above the screener's head to indicate what you've chosen. Releasing the B (Circle) button at any time will send the screener on a slip, roll, or fade based on what you've selected and the timing of your release.
If you're controlling an offball player, press and hold B (Circle) to call for an offball screen. It's a great way to get free for an open jumpshot. Also, you can set screens for your teammates by holding Down on the Right Analog stick.
