NBA Live '10 Cover Player Speculation

[Andrew]

I don't think it has any bearing on the selection process though. It just happens to be a photogenic action shot.

[Oakrhum]

Is the cover of 06 the only cover wherein the coverboy's photo was not taken in actual game?

[Andrew]

Pretty much. At the very least it's the only one that looks particularly posed.

[Oakrhum]

According to this http://twitter.com/Jason_Sparks/statuses/1938235131,

EA Sports will unveil the cover on Draft day

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will be released September, 2009 (What's new?)

I hope G-Force could be the one...

The next NBA LIVE 10 Player Cover...

With EA Sports wanting to bring back the old glory days of NBA Live, I don't think putting a Bobcat on the cover is an option.

I could see Rondo being on the cover, but I doubt that they'll choose a point guard 3 straight years.. So my pick will be Brandon Roy, which is a good choice, since he would fit their direction

[Oakrhum]

Isn't it the right time to put Pau Gasol on the main cover? He's been in the Spanish version for so many years already and I don't think that it's a constraint because that's also been the case for Tony Parker.

And putting a Laker on the cover is not a bad marketing strategy.

[George7]

Why not Derrick Rose or Ben Gordon?
Derrick Rose is the Rookie of the year and a good pick for the cover.
Also BG7 is a pretty good player , a star of Bulls, with a very good season

[Andrew]

Much as I like Gordon, from a marketing standpoint I reckon they'd pick Rose over him if they were to put a Bull on the US cover. If anything, Gordon and Deng might be on the UK cover again (assuming they do a regional cover for the UK again this year).

my take on the cover

[Oakrhum]

Cool, that's what I'm actually visualizing except for the Kobe/LeBron part.

[RelaxntakeitEZ]

I could def see Rose Roy or Howard as realistic options as coverboy.

[Narcius]

I'll still stick w/ my G-Force if that's God Option....

Hehe....Go Bobcats..

[Andrew]

Sure, we're all free to pick whomever we want. We could all be wrong, I don't think many people were thinking of Tony Parker last year up until the time it leaked.

[Arcane]

Kobe is 2K10's coverboy it was announced

[Andrew]

Interesting...perhaps LeBron being the cover player isn't too far fetched. We can obviously rule out Kobe for the Live '10 cover though.

[Arcane]

yeah. Maybe 2K played the hard times financially card or really stroked kobes ego by a few under the table deals

[Andrew]

Perhaps he'll rate the players, a la the original NBA Courtside.

Good move from a marketing standpoint though, they obviously feel the investment will pay off in the sales.

I THINK CHRIS "BIRD MAN" ANDERSEN DESERVE TO BE THE COVER OF THE NEXT NBA LIVE HE IS SECOND TO DWIGHT FOR THE BLOCKS PER GAME!

[Andrew]

With all due respect to the Birdman, he'd be a pretty unorthadox choice for a cover player.

[Oakrhum]

Wow, Kobe on 2K10.
EA should go for LeBron or Dwight if that's possible.

Deron Williams?

EA - 0 2K -1

lol, coverboy helps decide which game to buy?

[Andrew]

For some people it might. It shouldn't though, any connection between the cover player and the quality of the game is purely coincidental. Take NBA Live 99 for example; fine game, Antoine Walker on the cover.

[biggD]

I don't care about the cover,never have BUT to causal gamers the cover is a big draw card
