Anyone who buys a game with the EA logo on it should always expect that game to have a few issues; especially with something that they release every year, like sports. Sometimes the production deadlines must get in the way of perfecting the game mechanics because time and time again EA is guilty of this developer sin. I'm talking mostly about online issues here, such as occasional but crippling lag, a camera that gets stuck from time to time... It really kills the experience when a close game is ripped from your hands because the software failed to live up to its end of the bargain.
That being said, NBA Live 10 is fan-freakin-tastic! The basketball mechanics are solid, almost perfect.

If you want a great online sports game, grab this, just don't expect EA to get everything right.
