Exciting sim of pro hoops with challenging shooting.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that NBA Live 10 is a straightforward simulation of the National Basketball Association. As in real life, the arenas feature advertisements and ESPN is prominent in the game. The game is playable online, a feature Common Sense Media does not recommend to children under the age of 12, and it offers open chat so that the conversations can be unpredictable.
Educational value:
The game provides a great way to learn the rules, strategies, and terminology associated with pro basketball.
Positive role models:
The game showcases real athletes playing the game. Some are great role models for kids, while others just aren't.
Ease of play:
When players fire up the game, they pop up on a practice court they can use to learn the game's moves. The left stick moves players, while the right stick executes Freestyle moves such as fancy dribbling and passing. While there's only one button to shoot the basketball, a player's momentum dictates what type of shot they'll take. For example, if they're moving backward, they'll shoot a fadeaway. It can be tricky to judge what kind of shot players will take, but it gets easier as you practice. The controls can turn pretty advanced for players seeking more on-court options.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
The game includes cheerleaders wearing tight clothes that dance during timeouts, but nothing racy.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
ESPN plays a big role in the game, including providing sports updates and other news. There are also some ads that appear in arenas.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
