Features

A new training facility called "The Hanger" was included as well. There were many improvements to the details of the players including their tattoos, hair, shoes, uniforms, signature shots, and moves. Also, "Dynamic DNA," introduced in NBA Live 09, was improved. NBA Live 10 also contained 31 authentic, fully licensed FIBA teams.[2] This was the first year that pre-game rituals were in an NBA Live game.[3]

Due to NBA Elite 11 being canceled, EA released free DLC for NBA Live 10, including free roster updates for the 2010–11 NBA season and free daily Dynamic DNA updates, for the entire 2010–11 NBA season.[4]

The playable players in The Hangar are Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Brandon Roy.

The difficulty can be changed, but the game is restricted to four-minute quarters, and the user cannot play past the first half. All the in-game features are available, and to show another feature, demo features a throwback jersey available for both teams.
