Net animations

Re: Net animations

I haven't played Live in ages, I just have 1 question. Can the ball bounce off the rim and go in? Lol. I don't want everything being a swish or miss.

Answer please?

Re: Net animations

In 09 it looked like it was falling through a Naismith peach basket. It's much better in every video for Live 10, even the Gamescom video. I'm not worried.

Re: Net animations

The ball/rim/net interaction was rewritten this year and it's very solid. Perfect? No. But you will see a good variation of rim rattles, splashing nets, bricked long rebounds, etc. I agree that bad ball physics really takes away from wanting to shoot and I haven't had that happen for me with this year's live.

Having said that, there is something disturbing about the nets in the gamescon vids. It's possible that the nets were dampened in an attempt to optimize the ps3 demo. The new net sim is quite expensive from a performance perspective. I will investigate tomorrow. But I'm playing the 360 version right now and it's splashy net central.

Ok glad we're on the same page. I know ps3 has physx on their gpu so maybe you guys can at least get weight and net reaction on the ps3 at least?

Also since a made shot is determined by synergy and release then where does physics come in in the process of making a shot?

I say this because in real life it's rotation+arc

So if history repeats itself, NBA Live 11 should be great, lol.



No way...can't wait til' next year Live! PLEASE, fix it...hopefully, Mike is correct and the new vids this week will showcase the re-vamped rim/ball/net physics.

Lookin' forward to it!! Cannot wait!

Lol @ hopefully Mike is correct.

Re: Net animations

The competition is right at their heels so I don't think its safe to leave out major components such as nets physics.

We'll see come the demo, I will definitely be posting a HIGHLY, highly detailed review of the demo and hopefully if I find any thing needing fixing it gets fixed by release.

Mike said he's not sure if the new net physics are even in the demo, since they take a huge chunk of cpu power. He was supposed to check on it though. If I remember right.

edit: here is the quote.

Re: Net animations

Hats off to NBA Live 10. Must be a great game if all people can complain about are the net animations. Lol @ cats who will buy 2k over Live because they have 'better' net animations. Then why not buy NBA10? I thought gameplay is what make or breaks a game.

Ridiculous.

There are what, 150 shots put up a game? Isn't it pretty important to see a huge variation of ball/rim/net interaction?

I'm heavily leaning towards 2K but reading Live to see if it can win me over.

I'm no fan boy or trying to argue, just simply stating that in an important area of the game, I like the competition.

Exactly. I'm gonna give the demo a try and see how everything plays.

The net animations looked pretty good in all the videos I saw

I could live with a lot of things not right (I'm enjoying NCAA 10, so there's my EA game...I'm not a *****).

To ME having bad net/ball/rim interactions is a big deal.

Re: Net animations

I suggest you all see the start of the czar's latest video, where he talks about ball-rim interaction between 2k and live in 2009. Live must close the gap in 10.

if this is the case, is this dampening only for the demo? or can ps3 users expect an inferior retail version as well?

no. ps3 final will be same as 360.

either way though, i plan on tuning the net physics via patch for both games.
