This game HAS good on ball defense animations.

On ball D can definitely be patched. If this happened more the game would improve tremendously!

This game has good everything tbh. It's just the consistency of it all. If they could get that right and deepen controls they'd be on to something

That's the great thing about the Patch era. If it's actually in the game it can be tuned to happen more often to improve gameplay

Just have to be careful not to make it overly effective.

In a perfect world once that animation happens ratings like strength, speed, ball handling, OBD rating, contact finishing, and help defense will determine the outcome. But right now I think the game really needs this to happen a lot more user vs user/CPU.

very good animation. but here's the problem with asking for the defense to have the ability to catchup and stick to the offensive player.

I have to ask you. Do you want it to be more REALISTIC or just more contact?

There's a difference.

If you watch the above video carefully. once the defender's hands go up and the offensive player is pushing the guy in the hip area underneath one of his arms and looks to have his shoulder past the guy. There is no way for the defender to catchup unless the offensive guy is super slow. that was a ball handler so i cant assume slow was the thing there. so that tells me, that animation on the catchup is more a glitch then a real life type of animation. some may want that glitch because it makes you feel more contact. but the truth is, if you're by a guy like that. thats it, unless the guy wants to hack you from behind. you cant catchup to a person when he's driving under your arm past your shoulders, while your hands are up in the air. not going to happen.

again the defense could TRY to catch back up and all the guy will do is bump you on your way to the basket which is a foul. which you can do in live. you can bump guys on their way to the rack and there's other animations that show them/or you going up at a weird angle from being bumped right before you took off.

its funny because the animation shown here, is the exact complaint a guy had about the other game. he didnt like how guys would just slider over to catchup to you after you are beating them to the basket.

Re: This game HAS good on ball defense animations.

Live is too far behind technically to worry about slight physics like that imo. They can improve on it in future games but right now I think this should happen a lot more when you're trying to play D.

From the online Pro Am games that I've played and the games that I've played against the CPU, I've never been able to trigger this sequence of events.

Totally agree. I applaud live for at least trying to get away from 2 man animations. Would be nice if you could trail where low possibility of block, higher possibility of foul or if you do catch up jostle the ball handler to the outside and have to use the glass.
