EA Sports Posts Up On The Top Spot With NBA Live 10

Basketball season is just more than a month away, but you can get a jump on the squeaks and bounces with NBA Live 10, the tenth installment in the EA series every bit big and bad as its cover boy, Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard.

"It’s an honor to be named as the cover athlete for NBA LIVE 10," Howard, who led his team to the NBA Finals last season, said of the game that bears his likeness.

Mike Wang, the game's lead game play designer, said gamers will be impressed by game's enhanced passing controls, which allow for more flexibility and players to control their receivers. Off-ball players will also be enhanced with new controls and technical capabilities, enhancing multi-player games, according to Wang.

The game hits stores Oct. 12.
