My Ideas for Improving the Post Game:

[ILLSmak]

I will post the same thing I post before every thread; please don't close or move my topics. I put thought and effort into these posts.

I have heard many people say that Live's post game is bland, and it is. But they also say that with more post moves/animations it would improve. I disagree.

I believe the problem w/ Live's post game is it lacks realistic physicality. There is, in my opinion, a whole level of pressure (through the left stick) that would make the post game much more interesting. Meaning that pressure = power. Fouls, drop steps, flops... those are all results of applied pressure.

In the NBA Live post game, there is a suction moment where the two players go into 'posting up.' Once this happens, you can drop step, shoot, or disengage. On defense, you can flop or go for the steal. THAT'S ALL, right? Am I forgetting something?

Imagine what it'd be like if there was no engage animation and there was a realistic space between post offense and defense. I could press hard into someone and that would be like a Shaq shoulder bump. On defense, I could quickly pull back when the offensive player tried to make a move and 'pull out the chair.' These are just examples. I don't want to type out every possibility, but that's pretty simplistic. Can't understand why it's not that way.

It would also require a separate rating for strength as well as mass. Mass would be sort of 'strength at rest' where as strength would be 'maximum bumping potential.'

Maybe I am a nerd, but just thinking about this, properly implemented, makes me giddy. It would change the interior game completely... even without new 'scoring animations.'

Merry Christmas

Re: My Ideas for Improving the Post Game:

EXCELLENT IDEA! One of the best I've heard, and this alone could flesh out the post game SIGNIFICANTLY. Adding in animations and moves would just make this incredible.

I play a LOT o Live 10 and so lately I've just been constantly thinking up ideas for the post game for next year. I trust that the EA guys are probably hard at work on the post game for 11, probably as I type this, but I just have so many ideas. You should def post this in the "Post Game" thread, this is a great idea. Hope the devs keep checking back.
