NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

11:25 AM - August 28, 2009 by stephensonmc

Check out the new NBA Live 10 blog, going over passing controls.

Quote:


	"So for this week, we�re going to take a look at passing. Passing is one of those features that hasn�t seen a ton of new innovation in recent iterations. Everyone just expects to be able to get the ball from one player to another with as little frustration as possible. Sometimes that�s easier said than done. It seems like every year people complain about �directional passing,� saying that their passes are getting thrown to a different player than the guy they�re pointing at. We spent quite a bit of time working on the directional passing logic and re-tuning the system to accommodate the tendencies of different people. You�d be surprised at how different the expected behavior is from one person to the next when trying to throw a simple pass. Some people flick the stick, some swing it, and some people are always just off a little bit because they can�t compensate for the camera angle. Another tool we gave the user this year is the player indicator direction arrow. If you�ve seen videos of gameplay you�ve probably noticed a little arrow protruding from the ball handler�s indicator. That arrow represents exactly what you�re doing on the left analog stick at all times."

Again guys, lower difficulty to showcase a certain feature.

Awesome Controls EA.

I am eager to give out some no look assists to KG for the slam. Or a drive and dish to the corner 3 with allen. Or a pick and pop with KG. Or a simple pass to Pierce so he can take advantage of a mismatch on the post. Or....Or....Or......WARNING! WARNING! SYSTEM OVERLOAD!!! SYSTEM OVERLOAD!!!

Someone had a great question... what if you want to revert user control back to the ball handler. is that possible?

If i were to pass out when the demo hits then i hope i wake up on the 6th lol. If that was the case, who wouldn't want to pass out?

LMFAO!!!!!!! That was the funniest **** i have heard in a while. Man that would suck, and against my will too. If that's the case i should start writing a letter of notification saying that i will be waking up on the 6th lol.

lets make that a bounce pass too.

Also imagine a two-handed between the legs pass in the same scenario. that would be sick.

Cool2fool beat me to it, but he's right. You can pull up the icons and switch back to the ball handler if you want, or any other player for that matter.

# 118 VilleCity101 @ 08/29/09 12:35 AM

i don't know if this has been asked already but can u still do freestyle passing without pulling up tha icons?

# 119 Rob. D @ 08/29/09 12:43 AM

Looks good

# 120 Cnyce86 @ 08/29/09 01:12 AM
