Freestyle vs. Isomotion

Re: Freestyle vs. Isomotion

As a person who enjoys both games, Id have to say its a wash. Freestyle has zero risk vs. reward like Isomotion, which sucks. I love how in isomotion people dont just bring the ball down the court constantly crossing over because theres too much risk involved. On the other hand, Live is more responsive to my controls. The AI in Live (even on superstar) will fall for a fake eventually if you just wiggle the stick back and forth, which will lead to a wide open jumper (at least). The AI in ESPN attacks people using isomotion, which makes it very risky to over use the moves.

I think some of the moves in ESPN are over the top, but a quick adjustment to the ball handling rating slider fixes that. I really dont think one is better than the other, if you are actually willing to learn to use Isomotion which has a much higer learning curve than freestyle. So far it has seemed to me that people popped in ESPN, wiggled the stick a bit and decided freestyle is better. "OMG I cant control him" "WTF is he doing?" "God this sucks" was exactly what my friends said when they first played. But once they actually took a day or two and learned how to use isomotion, it was a different story.

Isomotion needs work without question, but imo so does freestyle.

Re: Freestyle vs. Isomotion

Good question, I asked this before ESPN was release if Iso was totally user controlled or just dribble animations. Sega needs to take this back to the drawing board impliment total control to the user. Even if that means admitting EA was first to do this with freestyle.

He asked who played both games . So what's your beef How is there a bias from people who spent their time/money to play both games

You're in the ESPN directing people like Air Traffic Control to different forums, so why don't you do the same?

I also noticed that you didn't answer the question? But you claim others are biased.

Get off it.

Re: Freestyle vs. Isomotion

I don't think people like worrying with starting a move then having to cancel it. How real is that?

man i beg to differ. with the tough defense in LIVE, i've yet to shake a defender like i did in 2003. i triyed ESPN for the weekend, and the iso-motion is like "russian rolet" i can't seem to do a simply cross-over in this game. it alway's gives me a combination of moves, which aren't necessary. if you learned to do iso-motion to were is benefical the game to the game...

OH! i pick, FREESTYLE!...
