Mr. Wang had the right idea. Competition helps everyone, especially the consumers.

Finally someone says it! Live 10 was one of a kind! That playoff/Finals atmosphere was incredible!

2K needs competition just like Madden, The Show and NHL. I fear we'll never have a sports game renaissance to the level of 00s again. Everything is just one option. Which is horse shit.

This is a certified NBA Live 10 moment

One thing I noticed about live 10 was that the Mascot moves around the stadium instead of staying in one spot

Speaking of NBA Live 10, the new March Madness Legacy Mod for NCAA Basketball 10 uses physics and AI from NBA Live 10 to make the gameplay much better.

There’s probably an alternate universe out there where NBA 2K didn’t surpass NBA Live as the go-to NBA video game series.

NBA Live 2005 still to this day is my favorite NBA Live

You've been killing it Softdrink, much appreciated.

NBA Live's gameplay wasn't amazing, but I always though the game was fairly deep, fun, and controlling your players felt smooth. I loved being able to spend time playing with the international teams. Players actually felt different with Dynamic DNA and online was incredibly fun with Online Team Play and The Run. I spent so many hours on Run and OTP, I remember playing in an OTP league through Operation Sports. Great video as usual.

I played nba live 10 so much I literally burned out the disc so a point where the game would crash or be laggy even offline. The disc was in perfect condition just over worked lol

My older sister got this for me I remember there was this practice mode where a whole bunch of popular players at the time were in a gym shooting hoops that memory is burned into my head

off ball passing and those 09-10 rosters make this game legendary

Just bought NBA Live 2005 for PS2. Its wild how much more realistic a game made with horrid graphics is vs games today

This was legit my favorite basketball game back in the day! 2k for real life like play and EA for fun play.. This game is still even really fun today and i will always come back to this masterpiece.

I love how in every greatest/last great video SDTV drops, there is never a game that dropped in the last 10 years 😂.

NBA Live 10 was amazing on 360, a true classic.

Yess finally nba live 10 video thank you so much

I'll never forget the day I got Live 10 was the same day Kobe hit that buzzer beater over Wade. I loved this game a lot but man I was ADDICTED to 2K10s MyPlayer. I couldn't stop playing that for anything. Just imagine if we had 10 years of consistent improvement off of Live 10, the basketball game landscape would look so different now. Instead of 2K dropping a great game every 4 years they would have to come with it every year. What could've been sigh

I still play Live 10 a shit ton to this day. I even happily bought NBA Live 14 and 15 on launch day, and enjoyed the hell out of them. Sold them when I sold my Orbis back in January 2017. Live 96, 98, 2003, 06, 08, and 10 are my favorite Lives. No matter the age of the sports game I am playing (the newest console I own are the PS3 and 360), I like to get around the lack of roster updates by just doing a fantasy draft every time I start a Season or Dynasty. NBA 2K1 is what made me a sports game player, but the last one I enjoyed was 2K6. Because starting with 2K7, it got WAY too realistic for it's own good. I hated having to learn every player's shooting stroke. It sucked all the fun out. It's a video game. If I want that kind of realism, I will watch an actual game or go play basketball myself. I recently bought NBA Live 19, and can't wait to start playing it once I buy my nephew's Durango here soon.

I just got live 10 man the graphics and gameplay still hold up In 2023

Great video! Love these retrospective videos of sports games! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

I remember playing this game my first basketball game with Dwight Howard as I'm also a orlando magic fan, those were some good times

I think the videos you have been doing are your strongest suit. I'm honestly super excited for the 2022 content yet to come! Great work softdrink!

Live 19 is still lit

Who remembers NBA the life games? They were actually quietly solid games

You a a great KZfaqr and I been watching you since 2019 keep up the good content

Just imagine if ea would’ve built on wangs foundation here. I still go back and play live 10 to this day because I love the rosters from my childhood(Kobe gasol lakers) plus I like how different this game stands out. I remember growing up playing both nba 2k10 and live 10 and not knowing which was my favorite.

Still hoping for a video series about the rise and fall of midway sports i still to this day enjoy NHL Hitz 2003 and Blizt the league

You really should think about displaying the fifa series. I think its' history from 09 to 15 (maybe 16) is an example of how we ought to make Ea get to work again.

Nba Live 19 was a good game but it was graphically outdated. I hope they release a new entry because I really like the way NBA live was focusing on attracting a more adult audience.

Live 03 04 and 05 still the best basketball games of all time

Loving the new content. Your retrospectives are fun. I would love to see some nfs underground retros.

Nba Live 19 is hella fun for me at least

Just to put in perspective how good you are at these topics; I would never watch a video on any of these games but I don’t even care what game/series you cover, I’m watching the second I see it in my feed

my uncle actually had nba live 10 but i kept playing 2k but i played it before it was pretty decent i didn’t know what nba live was at the time plus live 19 is a great game

I don't know if it's just me but I feel that 2k is more realistic but it has a bigger learning curve while EA games are more arcade like but are easier to pick up and play

I personally enjoyed the last two NBA Lives (Live 18 and 19) but they can't hold a candle to NBA Live 10. That was truly the last great Live in my opinion as well.

One of my first ever PS3 games when I was 12. I was soooo stoked when it would play like live TV updates or highlights through the main menu/main court or whatever

In the rarly 2010’s me and my older brother and cousin loved this game and I can remember countless times us loading up the game on my cousins XBOX 360, this was the last nba game from either franchise that I was super hyped about to play regularly and very much enjoyed, not saying the games now are trash though, they aren’t, but this was just another level of fun to me, and we always loved competing in the warmup screen before the game too 😅😅

I call BS on his idea of leaving. He just wants a bigger paycheck with 2k so he used EA salary grade as leverage.

been team live my whole childhood, then elite 11 got canceled and 2k11 was the only other nba game i could get, and now i been team 2k ever since

I'll never forget just loading up into the hanger mode in this game and just sitting in there for hours

Dude this is what your channel is man. Never stop doing this i don’t care what anyone says. Never have doubts your the king of this shit🐐🐐

Great video as always bro.

I used to love using the hawks and making a 3. There was a cool ass piano noise that would go off & then you’d hear “for threeeee”

I never played live 10 as I have live 2005 but Mr. Yang had the right idea then and I wish more had and that competition and having that competition to push you to do better is what’s right

Wang was an inside job. He went and took everything Live had and made it stiffer, play live 09, it was a smoother game, especially from building upon the responsiveness of 08’s dribbling. Elite 11 was what live 10 could have been, but then derailed by what changes happened, they were always focused on physics and responsiveness, live 10 took the good of 09, stopped it and added canned animations like 2k. Mike wang is why Elite 11 was a mess, it was an inside job by 2k, not to be commended.

I miss NBA LIVE

NBA Live had the perfect vibes that a basketball game exactly needed from the menu, shoot around while loading, presentation, atmosphere, sound effects etc. Only thing I like about 2k is the deep customization of rosters and mynba/myleague settings

I miss the PS2 NBA Live days 😢

Great video!

Mike Wang is to live what Kawhi Leonard was to Toronto

“The refs wouldn’t even call it” sounds like a real scenerio😂😂😂🤣

If the next video isnt Blitz a retrospective we fightin

Nba live 10 is my all time most favorite basketball game, man that game was fun and way better than 2k was. The newest 2ks shooting and defense is so garbage it makes me miss this one even more

I saw someone purchase a copy of NBA Elite at the Midwest Gaming Classic back in 2019 and without knowing the whole sordid story was shocked that a sports game of all things would go for so much.

That MWGaming clip you showed was actually NBA Elite 11 lol

so live 19 was bad? i thought it was quite decent

I remember my cousin and I going back to this game in like 2013 and we were able to update the roster to what it was at that time.

Thanks Softdrink great video.

I love these videos.

I suggested you to make a retrospective of this on your old Twitter

I owned live 10 and played it on my 360! An amazing game! played online adidas live run! So much fun! I owned nba 2k10 also! Currently playing nba live 2019 on my series x.

yay back with another banger :)

2k started domination in 2k8. The last "great " live was 06

I think it has to be said that lots of people hated on live 10 at the time.

Nfs that janelle monae sing on there used to jam 🔥🔥🔥

Another NBA game hidden gem is TOTAL NBA 96, that was far ahead of it’s time

Let’s goooo! Glad to see some more nba on here man

NBA Live implies the existence of NBA Tape Delay, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation

Wow the memories. I know madden 11 2k11 and this j cud go back and jus play

I really enjoyed playing this as a kid!

I really enjoyed this live...definitely one to talk about

Mike Wang leaving immediately after Live 10 is what killed Live and put it into a 4 year hiatus.

Live 16 was the comeback game but Live 19 was good too. But they just couldn't hack it anymore.

Can’t wait for the next video

you're saying this as if live 19 was bad or something. its really fun and a good time.

man I'm Glad Someone Giving Live 10 Some Love

Bought this game at a GameStop once a couple years ago.

Man me and my friends played this alot

As soon as I get my PS3 fixed or buy a new one, I'll get NBA Live '10 someday since I enjoy the NBA Live games on Mega Drive, the original PlayStation and the original Xbox.

I want this guy to make the games i play. You can see he actually cares and passionate

Nba live 19 honestly in my opinion is the last great live !! EA DEFINITELY should’ve gave that gameplay they was working on another try with more upgrades and animations !! The game was good asf but I guess it wasn’t enough but I still play it!!

I switched to 2k after Live 08, and switched to FIFA after 2k11. Started playing 2k21 and it’s almost unplayable. I’m waiting for the next live game to play a realistic game of basketball

Crazy part is I still own a copy of nba live 10

EA doesn't even try to make games this good anymore. 05 was a literal golden age for sports video games. It fills me with a bit of dread how that was 18 years ago. I was a single man playing these games for money, now I'm married with kids, still popping in NFL2K5 on occasion just to play a sports game that actually good.

I still have this game. My favorite nba live

This made me want to play Live 10 again

This was the very last sports game I put all of my gaming into besides Madden... and both were very fun to play that year... man I fucking miss whooping ass on those games and the effort & detail EA put into them. I turned 32 a week ago and I can honestly say I grew up in the "Golden Age" of video games because the shit they put out today is just disrespectful compared to the ps2 or even ps3 days 😞

What is the music used in the video? The one that sound like an 8bit version of a song is what I’m trying to find. Is that a childish gambino song?

nba live 10 fantasy teams was so much fun

NBA Live 09’s shooting was also timing based. These videos are always cool but are filled with weird errors. JS.

I was just playing this the other day 😍

Live 10 was so awesome

NBA 2k11 is the king, and I do agree NBA live 2010 is a solid game, it’s not great but it’s decent, still own my copy …

its really weird to attribute so much to One Guy. there was probably dozens of people working on each individual part of the game, there are no real One Guys in games. games are these peoples babies, but it still takes a village

Mr. Wang is an irl bad ass

You should make a retrospective video dedicated to the infamous Andrew Bynum Jesus Christ nba elite 11 glitch

I never played this Live 10. A friend gifted me NCAA basketball 🏀 10 for PS3 now i want live 10.
