EA Sports has recently been kind enough to give us the first video insight of their forthcoming basketball title, NBA Live 10.

As you can see from the trailer, NBA Live 10 will feature beautiful graphics, amazing physics and true-to-the-game gameplay.

EA Sports is in full swing releasing all of the sports games they can, Fight Night Round 4, Madden 10, NHL 10 and now NBA Live 10. However, previous to now EA had kept both the cover and cover athelete under wraps.

As you can see above, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has gotten the honor of gracing the latest installment’s cover. Howard gave the following statement after the announcement:

“It’s an honor to be named as the cover athlete for NBA LIVE 10. This year has been a crazy ride and this is a cool way to cap it off. Of course – there is one more thing I’m on the hunt for that would complete it.”

I wonder what he’s on the hunt for? Maybe a final victory over the Lakers? Oh yeah.
