Freestyle vs. Isomotion

Re: Freestyle vs. Isomotion

I myself prefer Freestyle. I think in the end it's about the "natural flow of the game" vs. "look ma no hands" type of showmanship. Obviously Freestyle would be the "natural flow of the game" and Isomotion would be the "look ma no hands" showmanship, substance vs. style kinda thing I guess. I'm not saying that Isomotion is total crap but I do think that EA has implemented their "system" much better than Sega. NBA Live 2004 just plays a better game of basketball, has a more natural flow or feeling to it. Anyone who plays basketball will understand exactly what I mean. I play Basketball with a solid group of players every friday afternoon and I'll tell you it's all about getting into the flow of the game and getting a good rythym down both offensive and defense. In Live I am able to do this. In ESPN it's kinda a detached sorta of feeling. There is no real constant flow to the game, it's broken up so to speak. OK well I am starting to ramble, I'm sure you get the gist.

Re: Freestyle vs. Isomotion

its like russian roulette?? the isomotion moves are much more rewarding with risk, you can cross your man up for just enough room to get off the open j. freestyle is like a mad mash on the joystick with no penalty for blindly bashing the stick, which is very arcade-like. isomotion you can't run down the floor crossing over every 2 seconds or your defender will jump out and draw a charge on you. but when you pull off a nasty crossover at the perfect time and shake your defender, its all worth it. i've only had the game 2 days and i am getting the isomotion down to an art, and overall its more realistic/challenging/rewarding then freestyle is.

lol @ the "essence of basketball is not cat and mouse"...so your telling me that the "essence of basketball" is stringing together 50 dribble moves in a row, with the final result being either your open, or your not?? cat and mouse is EXACTLY the essence of basketball, one suttle move that fakes your defender another way is "cat and mouse", not running down the court spinning in circles until finally your defender moves out of your way. i think you need to re-analyze the whole concept of isomotion, cuz realism wise-it owns freestyle. but if you want an arcade style of game where you can string together ridiculous moves with no chance of getting called for an offensive foul, then freestyle is the way to go. its all preference.

Re: Freestyle vs. Isomotion

Both you ESPN blinded fools are a joke. Those last two posts aren't spoken by people who know the game of basketball. Street ball... maybe.

Aside from this thread, where ELSE have you both posted giving credit to Live? Exactly. No need to come in a forum and defend a game: It's not your child.

And those comments about freestyle being arcadey is a joke... honestly. Sliders do wonders in Live, and help minimize that "arcadey" feeling, if you even feel that it's worth justifying that poor point. Spare us all guys. If we wanted completely biased opinions, this would be posted in the ESPN forum, and the many of us ex-NBA 2k'ers would be there responding to it as ESPN fans.
