Great vid Czar I had know I idea that the QSAB was a rhythm based system. This is a great tutorial for those that are trying to understand how the system works.

Brilliance as always, I don't even need to watch the video to know that.

And and my write-up of the information you basically gave is a few threads below on the front page for anyone who needs a written guide. But thanks for doing a video so that we now have two references to the controls.

Thanks RSM I was almost finished with the video when I saw your post. very well written so I may not finish this series as you have it all covered there. Good stuff.

Haha... damn I didn't plan to single-handedly destroy the series before it was finished. I think you put it into better words than I could anyways. You could always finish the rest of the vids and have the guide and videos co-exist with each other. I think that'd work out nice for anyone looking for in-depth assistance with the controls of the game. I'm more of a visual aid fan myself. But yeah, feel free to use the guide for your vids. After all, that's what I made it for.

Not used to the NBA LIVE series. I have a few questions, maybe some of you all can answer this question.
Since the dribbling/handling of the ball seems so intuitive, is fatigue factored into handling the ball. Seems like if someone dribbles the rock as fast as some of the animations, the player would get fatigued quicker.

I've never checked to see whether or not fatigue drops based on the number of dribbles or whatever, but I'd have to check later on to be completely sure. It seems like something 2k would implement first, though.

czar,
that was pure basketball goodness. don't scrap the rest of your vids man, i need all the help i can get. i was one of those who thought the qsab moves were unresponsive, but its nice to know that EA has added some depth and a learning curve to their games. it makes the simulation experience more true to life. now if they can make the application of these moves more realistic, things will be good. again, quality work, and i look forward to the next. btw, the first czarisode was deep as well. LIVE is going to be a solid sim this year.

Great videos! EA ought to pay you for your efforts because your videos certainly make it harder for me to settle on a choice of a basketball game this year.

After several hours with the demo, I simply find the gameplay more FUN than anything from the 2k series, lately, even though 2k does so many things right. It's EA's new and intuitive play calling system, along with their floor spacing that really drives it home for me. But now 2k had to go and show screenshots of what looks to be an amazing Association mode. Arrrgghhh! I can't make up my mind. If only 2k's isomotion wasn't a broken system and they improved the shot stick (I still can't shoot J's with it) then I wouldn't be as inclined to give EA my money. What's everybody else going with this year?

And no, I'm not one of those people who boasts "I'm buying BOTH!!!!" because games are expensive and there are so many good ones coming out this season.

Re: NBA Live 09 - Czarisode 2

Haha Czar, you are something else man. Great Job as always. I didn't realize the depth of Lives dribbling system and you didn't even cover the explosion animations/Quickstrike A's out of those standstill dribbles.

Great stuff...

Re: NBA Live 09 - Czarisode 2

Just wanted to say great job Czar. I hadnt even noticed some of the subtleties that you pointed out. Your first video about playcalling had me playing the demo nonstop trying out the variations. Keep 'em coming. These training videos should be in the game because they are much better than the usual EA ones.

Re: NBA Live 09 - Czarisode 2

Haha, you showin' out Czar, get you some, haha. I might have to rent me some Live this year, tight video cousin.

Re: NBA Live 09 - Czarisode 2

Man, you make the games look better with your videos. Last year I saw a couple of your vids from 2k8, and they made me love the game even more.

This year, the same thing is happening. I like Live this year too, but with these videos, i'm liking it even more. They help to understand the game better, even if I already know what you're showing.

Amazing vids, and man, seriously, even better music.
