Re: Production team Q and A

I agree as im typing i was thinking the same thing then i turned to this thread. They need to stop listening to the fanboys because they never tell them anything is wrong with the game.

One of those guys played the entire tournament crossing over to dunk

Guys, one of the main reasons why we had the tournament NBA LIVE Challenge winners up here was so that we could get some of their exploits out. Don't think we don't realize that there are different audiences playing NBA LIVE. We're having our NBA LIVE 09 community event next week and a representative from OS is coming to that.

Just because we invite a group of people in doesn't mean that's the only group we're making the game for.

Thats good to hear...hopefully you guys take sim gamers into account because I liked some things about Live but there were too many flaws for me to overlook.

Thanks for the info because that wasnt explained at all.

The devs are making the game sound more interesting on the EA boards but i want to know more about what they're going to do with the physics and animations.

They've got a 'MVP' chant now, which is pretty sweet.

DWade3133: We have some cool things coming with the crowd this year. We were able to record a bunch of NBA games and capture the crowd and ambiance. Probably my favorite is a Lakers game we got this year where we captured a real 'MVP' chant when Kobe was at the line. We've got a pretty cool way of triggering the chant in the game that I can tell you guys about later.

Unfortunately the arena specific sound effects and PA announcers are under contract with the arenas, so we can't use everything.

The MVP chant is pretty cool...

Re: Production team Q and A

I nice post is on the EA forums from Beluba. All live fans should be really happy that he is working on the game. I would post it here, but I dont know if it's ok or not ?

It's on the last page (12, I think ?)

He doesn't work for EA - nor do I think he's claiming he does. If you follow the link he posted, producers are answering questions at the EA Sports boards.

LOL i wish i worked for EA

Its hard not to feel ambivalent when reading that post. We know that live has struggled mightily in all the various animating aspects of the game for a very long time now, but when someone with a established track record for doing quality work says that they have made enormous strides in the quality and quantity of their animations, its difficult(for me at least) to maintain the usual highly skeptical stance.
