Nba 2k10 vs Nba Live 10 Demo Comparison

[@AlterEgo2k8]

I like this comparison. I got both demo's and Live 10 is the best Live I've played since Live 04. 2K10 is the best 2K I've played since last year. Live closed the gap between the 2, but 2K10 is still better. But if u like Live 10, its a good buy and u'll have fun with it.

[@Skopin]

It depends on what you're looking for. They play differently and have different features and game modes. I have both, and play them both equally. Same with the 09 versions (although Live 09 had that awful shot arc glitch). They're both fun games that do different things well.

[@drexappeal]

Great video comparison. Thanks for posting this.

[@dreamshakegaming]

i agree with u bro. anybody can play LIVE and enjoy it but to play 2k, u need skills, strategy e.t.c. u can't just do whateva u want in 2k, it is designed so u will actually play it just like you will in real life.

[@tjyayo87]

live will have daily updated commentary this season as well,as far as graphics go this is 2ks second year with those updated graphics so of course they will be better,live is on year one with those so of course they'll have rough spots. And as far as real basketball goes they both are great in certain category and live this year has a few

[@Skopin]

Not just EA, pretty much all developers when it comes to sports games. Even 2k10 has crowd repetitions. And until this year, Live's commentary was much better than 2k. This year 2k did a nice job improving on that, even though they recycled quite a few lines from 2k9. In any case

[@Th3ViperOrton]

@sYmBiOt3CrEaTiOnS do u think live is better or 2k10 and the ups and downs for both

[@Skopin]

The definition of realism varies when it comes to video games. If you want an actual basketball sim, I would recommend 2k. However, if you're looking to play the game like the pro's do, I would recommend Live. Basically I mean that Live does a better job at allowing the player to mimic or recreate the games as seen on TV. That's one of the advantages of the simpler control scheme. I enjoy both games; they both do different things well, and they both have their flaws.

[@MrJeckel]

i just look at last year. nba live put out a demo that had more than 2k9's demo. people bought live and what happened? a high % of em returned live and got 2k making 2k the highest selling basketball game last year. why would anything be different this year?

[@crazyasianskills]

Maybe because its a better game? You are right though, I am probably going to get both games so I can be completely satisfied. I just wish they could work together and take the best out of both and make the best video game possible.

[@DonMagicJauwan]

notice when they look at the magic bench you can see patrick ewing next to van gundy

[@mikeconan13]

why they dont give high five in between free throws @ 2k10?

[@Skopin]

I never said Live's crowd has less repetition than 2k's. I just said that even 2k has repetition in their crowd. I also said that until this year, Live's commentary was better. Please read the entire response before you start arguing with it. And as far as being rewarded for learning to play, Live does the same thing, although it is easier to pick up and play than 2k. But if you actually know what you're doing, you will do a lot better than someone who doesn't.

[@crazyasianskills]

I like a lot of other players, but not teams. I like the Trail Blazers a lot, even though they smash the Lakers in Portland. And I agree with you that Live has sucked, and I actually didnt even play Live 09, I play 2k. But I am playing the demo of both and I am hooked to Live.

[@Skopin]

But the crown reactions are better in Live. Every sports game has crowd repetitions and fans doing the same thing at the same time. It's just one of those things that developers don't spend a ton of time on. 2k has it too, it's just not as noticeable.

[@GisherJohn24]

I still play live 10 today here in late 2012

[@Th3ViperOrton]

@beno2367 should i buy 2k10 or live 10?

[@Kingyb12]

If you watch actual videos of the full game online u will see that the commentary is a lot better this year and the commentators do have conversations about stuff outside of the game being played. 2K graphics are also better in 2k. Dont get me wrong i preferred live until 2k8 came out and i still like live but now i release that 2k is the better nba sim.

[@dologhlin]

2k graphics are better, but i did find live more fun to play. the only thing that really urks me about live is the ball physics and its arc when u take a shot, it looks like something from the snes. fun over substance?

[@pigkid01]

when did nba 2k10 demo came out ?

[@LuisCArenas]

I haven't played basketball games in awhile, and today I downloaded both demos for X360.... And for me, 2K10 is more realistic and the gameplay is far better. Personal opinion.

[@Th3ViperOrton]

@WadeBryant0324 And theres been 360s crashing becuz of the online connection on 2k10,

[@bisirojon]

I've been a NBA Live player since Live 97... and as each year pass by NBA Live gets worst 2k9 was the first of the 2k series I've played and it is way cooler than Live Live is arcade action, 2K has more realistic feel of the basketball

[@jskillz989]

good shit bruhh

[@raovhellz]

You can't say that 2k10 is "not" fun because it's subjective. What's not fun for you is fun for another.

[@H0lyPh3n0m]

i am really thinking of getting live 10 but 2k10 has some features i like.

[@mckay91095]

nba live 10 demo seems to be more fluid, but people say that 2k10 is better. who knows. its all preference

[@mycoolgoodvideos]

nba live used to be my fav. but i started playin 2k and its way way way way way way way way better

[@chikaka23]

I hope in 2k10 they don't sub a player that has 1 foul and will not return to the game until final mins in the 4 th quarter

[@crazyasianskills]

I dont hate 2k, I just dont like the way it plays. And I dont think it added anything new. Live is adding new things because the realized after 03, they sucked. And its not so much I hate the shot stick actually, I just think that there should be something for dribbling. I think 2k completely owns Live in some areas, but Live is improving, and next year it will improve more, and pretty soon it will be back on top.

[@Hovmyster]

i played lives demo, and i sware im not kidding bout this, a minute ito the game i quit because of how bad it was and how wierd it felt

[@Floki5000X]

I just don't like the feel of NBA 2k, Live is fun, easier to grasp, and I dig the art style. 2k looks more realistic, but If I wanted super realistic, I'd actually play ball instead.

[@H0lyPh3n0m]

wow they both look really nice idk which to get

[@moises1199]

nba live 09 and nba 2k10 there both sick but nba 2k10 da graphics is sick

[@kingkerr3]

Why does EA spend so much money,work,time,and effort on madden on if live was that good it would actually give 2k some competition but as of now 2k is the best and has no competition

[@SHEEM973]

good video both games are good in ther e own right but 2k is still a realistic game more than live

[@P3RF3CTCH09S]

2k is better man....Live is getting better but 2k is still better..The Net moves better when you make a shot on 2k it actually makes u feel like u can make every shot just the sameway u feel when u play batketball in real life..The way lives players shorts move when they jump looks so animated once again 2k's players shorts move alot smoother..2k is for real ball players who actually use real basketball approaches when playin.instead of just comming down shooting then on defense reaching in.

[@MClown69]

when I watch live 10 it actually reminds me of watching basketball. 2k seems cheesy looking to me. wonder why everyone else thinks diff. oh well I am getting live

[@icebertz]

man 2k has breakdancing mascot what better crowd than that u want...2k all the way

[@GisherJohn24]

Nba live 10 was a blast. I still p

[@MrJeckel]

... by what you say it seems like you hate 2k because it is too "complex" for you. the shot stick is great imo. but thats my opinion. if you can't grasp isomotion that's your problem. btw, i don't see live dominating anything anytime soon. if you didn't realise, 2k dominated in 09 and is set to dominate again this year.

[@youngcnyce]

mayb its just me but nba2k player all look bulked up, 2k has more of a real presentation than live. But lives gameplay is alot better

[@shattapinks]

@nyckillaheat Stick to your 2k9 because 2k10 is a broken mess. I regret the day that I traded in my beloved 2k9 for 2k10. I got the NBA Live instead because of updated rosters and I liked the demo. I haven't given up on 2k though, so I'ma see what they can bring for 2k11 cause that one is supposed to be epic, although it will be the first NBA 2k game since 2K2 that I am going to rent before I buy

[@juzam01]

live 10 is REALLY just an illusion... its a fun game no debate.. but to tell its taking the crown this year from 2k is just a bandwagon illusion

[@MrJeckel]

nba 2k's demo is 449 mb, live's is 700+ mb. thats all it is, a DEMO. 2k's commentary in the game is updated daily with stats from the night before. thats why 2k's commentary will be better. and ya graphics wise live is better than 2k. but c-mon there is no way in hell live plays more like real basketball vs. 2k no way at all.

[@creed200569]

Live looks better than last year, but it still looks so robotic and unrealistic. 2k10 blows it away

[@DSN107]

THE MID AIR PASSES LOOK SO FUCKED UP IN 2K10 , LOOK AT KOBE'S TO GASOL IT ALWAYS LOOKS UGLY AT 1:48

[@Skopin]

The same thing happens in 2k. They're video games; they're not going to be perfect.

[@thehobbit2001]

i brought nba 2k10 and just dont like it, idk why but for some reason it just doesnt do anything for me. it may be that it just isnt as fun as 2k9 was. it is a pretty realistic game but you have to play it for a while to get the hang of it. ive played live and i like it better but it still kinda sucks. so iam thinking iam gonna get nhl 10 cause that is the best sports game on the market.

[@MrJeckel]

5:43- this is why live will always be an arcade game. period. how the hell is anyone going to tell me that would actually happen in an nba game? ridiculous.

[@crazyasianskills]

Nah I meant you said you hated kids like me. But its chill man Im not an ea fanboy so no need to hate on me.

[@jayjaydiih5]

@Spurs4 C calm down man there's no need to get worked up both of them are good but i think 2k is better and dont mind those nba 2k10 vs nba live 10 videos, it just live fanboy's making video's choosing unfair pics for 2k (like when they are making faces and for live they choose them when they are wit the ball cuz hey, who smiles wit the ball..............or makes any faces

[@juzam01]

2k10 still.... every year is being more realistic than ever... live may have improved.. but still doesnt look realistic.

[@crazyasianskills]

Live has got it this year. I think it still needs improvement, but 2k got cocky, and they payed the price. They didn't make essentially anything better as far as gameplay. Its dribbling is still retarded. I hate the stupid shot stick, it should be a dribble stick. The faces still look nothing like the players. And they copied the same features of Live. Wait till next year, Live will completely dominate. Although I will admit if you watch the other videos, 2ks commentary is way better.

[@MichaelJacksonNBA]

2K's grapphics are wayyy more better. Go take a closer look.THERES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

[@Th3ViperOrton]

@beno2367 same here.

[@iNewgz]

I still think NBA 2K10 is more fun.

[@MOP15321]

the commentary on 2k sucks they dont even talk about the players or the previous season all they say is "he goes for the shot, he misses it , howard gets the rebound.They only talk about the game itself, they don't have side conversations like they do in real life. How the fuck can u say 2k10 has better commentary then live when the demo doesn't have commentary and its probably the same thing like most shit in this game.Live graphics are also better than 2k.

[@DonV310]

I pick 2k10 over NBA Jams

[@mg2prime]

2k10 has bad facial appearances but live has better facial appearances. But I do play nba 2k11. By Facial I mean face. Check for yourself

[@MrJeckel]

real talk

[@crazyasianskills]

Oh thats what you think? And everyone knows everyone whose not a Laker fan thinks Laker fans know nothing about basketball and everything about Kobe Bryant. I do know everything about Kobe, but trust me thats not it. And the reason we defend him is because he is innocent. I read the entire case file, it is quite obvious. Even though what he did was still wrong. And whats wrong with following one team? Im a basketball player, and I live in California. I like the Lakers, so what?

[@zairejulu8633]

Nba Live got better presentation.

[@dellimel809]

2k10 all day

[@jaymarasigan27]

2k10 is more realistics and its way better in xbox 360 and ps3

[@AlterEgo2k8]

U need ur eyes tested if u think Live's cartoon graphics are better than 2k's.

[@MrJeckel]

this is why people like you think live is improving. they actually regressed during their prime years. nba live 05 was the best b-ball game they put out. 06 was terrible. so was 07 because it was basically the same as 06. 08 was even worse because they failed to transition from the crappy nba live 07. 09 is when they tried to get back and 10 is much better than 09 giving people the illusion that its such a great game.

[@crazyasianskills]

Blind love and admiration? Im not talking about my girlfriend here. I dont hate 2k10, I play 2k9. Ive never even actually played Live 09. And it is my opinion. Dont give me the respect for elders crap. Im not trying to disrespect you. You just told me you hated me for reasons that were untrue. So just chill because Im not trying to get you all pissed off. But you are already attacking my basketball iq, which pisses me off. Basketball is my life alright. And I will be buying 2k10 just so you know

[@nyckillaheat]

mmmmm 2k10 but i still play 2k9

[@josincano]

nba live is ok this year but 2k9 in even better than nba live 10

[@chikaka23]

not mine that AI's

[@xJOAHAx]

in nba live 10 the fans are better :D, but i hate the commentator xD

[@bevans52]

2k10 wins its way more real then live is just like how 2k football games are better then madden and ncaa fottball games EA SUCKS

[@ii23ii1]

nba 2k10 kicks nba live10's ass

[@Gen08Hazel]

nba live10 is better. FOR ME!

[@Tubamaster2292010]

2k all the way

[@guny12wunyy]

2k9 graphics are better then nba live 10

[@jafri998]

calm down buddy

[@MrJeckel]

ouch. man you should have just bootlegged it steam is a bi*ch but there really was no need for it as 2k9 had no online. now that 2k10 has online there will definitely be steam imo for pc. especially since its online. but there are many cracks on the net to get around it.

[@georgiamarucut]

nba live 10 > nba 2k7

[@reggiethomas18]

live is better to me

[@KBDR199]

nba live 10 is better

[@owninggreendragsdude]
