Re: Live \'04: The Subtle Things...

I'm a huge Pacers fan and cant believe how perfect they captured Reggie running backwards down court after ripping a 3.

Live is the most complete and realistic sports game since NCAA Football 04. It captures almost all of the NBA game.

My ONLY complaint: that point guards dont come back to get the ball from a big man on a defensive rebound - unless I just havent figured it out yet?

Re: Live \'04: The Subtle Things...

NBA tv did a preview of all the NBA games. Something that was pointed out in the Live presentation was the authentic move that Dirk has when you hold the ball in the air. It's when you push down on the right stick he kinda turns his body and holds the ball away from the defender. The EA people on the preview said that he's where they got that animation. They showed a Dirk highlight and sure enough, they copied that animation from him.

guys i got another one, not really sure what it is for though.

when playing defense try pressing the right analog stick down then up then down again then up again etc.. in a continuos motion. (you have to do it kinda fast) your player will get into this 'new' animation where he waves his hands up and down.

at first i thought it was some way to pump up the crowd, but when i tried doing it in my homecourt the crowd didn't even react. i think it's just a taunt for the opponent.

kinda cool though.

Great find pao_q.

I actually tried this and it worked.
It's definately a taunt. For those who haven't seen it yet, try it out. It's as if the player is saying "COME ON!!" and he flails his arms up in the air.

It would be cool if it was a way to "pump up" the crowd. I did it in a road game and there was no crowd reaction.

But it's definitely a taunt.

Re: Live \'04: The Subtle Things...

Here's something no one's mentioned:

After a big shot by one of your players (with time winding down on the shot clock for example), check out the your bench! Your players jump out of their chair and celebrate!

Things like that just send chills down your spine....

Re: Live \'04: The Subtle Things...

I think the fact that there are slight differences in the slams. Take a guy like Mobley into practice mode and have him slam over and over. First thing he can slam one handed with both hands. Then he does a one handed dunk off 2 feet from a stand still. Make him dunk while running, he will jump off one foot, Some time he will have his feet together and dunk, other times he will spread his legs far apart. And even in a third variation of the almost same dunk his legs will cross. These are all normal one handed dunks. Keep doing one handed dunks and you will notice that some times he will **** the ball back a little before dunking. Other times he is stretched out like he can barely reach the rim.
I started noticing little differences in the dunks when someone posted about they can't see the 100+ dunks that the game was rumored to have.

They even have a dunk where Steve Franchise dunks with two hands, and hangs on the rim with with one and turns, landing facing the opposite end of the court. Classic Franchise.
