Re: Everything New and Good in Live 2004 Gameplay
Man I forgot to even MENTION the huge variety of defenses that are available to the User and that the CPU throws at you.
3-2 zone, 2-3 zone, 1-3-1 zone, trapping versions of all of them, halfcourt traps, full court man, many more. It's crazy.
When you play the mavs they are constantly switching back and forth between 2-3, 3-2 and man. They even thro in the odd 1-3-1.
Other teams that don't play zone much (IE sixers) will throw one in for a single possession after a timeout and then go right back to man. It catches me off guard constantly. The T-Wolves run a 1-3-1 and put KG in the middle - it's super-tough to beat.
Hint: I've found that the zones are really tough to score on but are weakest in the corners (just like in reality), so with good ball movement you can get a few open looks at three from the deep corner.
