NBA Live 09 Trailer

[eDotd]

Looked good. Players looked great, textures and jerseys looked great as well. I'm also wondering how much control we'll actually have in Pick and Roll Control.

One thing I didn't like was how the big men showed on PnR situations. In the Lakers and Mavs PnR's, both Garnett and Gooden showed before the guard even made his move. I don't know if that's a human making them do that or if it's the AI, hopefully it's human.

Reading the devs talk on the EA forums you have control whether you want the pick man to move, stand still or move out for a jumpshot, depending on a button or a meter or something like that.

It doesn't sound too bad if its implemented right.



BTW, my buddy in the gaming industry in Italy sent me a link from his site. I cant view it from work. Is it the same vid

Thx Mc...


Here's hoping to Mike getting alot of his ideas into the game being the Gameplay/AI programmer.

He's probably loving EA's resources

I like what I saw, I really did.

Animation-wise, a lot of the same from Live 08. That said, I'll hold judgment till I play the game. I don't have much expectations, so any improvement will impress me really.

[Klocker]

it is still really early to judge the quality of the animations IMO, however, what was there showed a helluva lot more than in 08.

I think 08 got a really bad rap (especially here) because it really was on the right track and I can see that if the animation progress that was made on Madden makes its way here along with Mike wang's presence that all but the most hardcore will have to at least give this year's game a look.

I am pretty certain that most people on this board never even played Live 08 and hate it on screens and trailers and the demo alone.

I'm not defending it, it is flawed, but if you can not see the progression here (as well as what EA is doing with its other titles and its NEW fan interaction/communication) then you have the EA ***** glasses on.
