    Re: NBA Live 09 - Czarisode 2

    Awesome video. That video tutorial just opened up a whole new world for me on this Live demo. EA should pay you for that and use it on their website. It really shows off the depth and realism that they were able to accomplish with dribbling this year. Could certainly use that as a major selling point to sim players. Give us more man!

      Czar... you know what's up man

      Great video and it came right when I got a chance to DL the demo and play last night. Went into practice and saw what you were explaining to us..

      Broke Fisher off a few times and Lamar Odom as well using some of the moves you showed us.

      Give the man a break EA! Look at what he can do with the game.. the real fans of the game is where it's at. Somebody needs to give this brotha a job.

          Yeah, great stuff as always. I had a lot of fun just playing around with the dribbles in the practice gym... there are super-fast ones also, which I guess would be .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 haha...

          The problems with this system for a lot of people start when the contact animations on the perimeter start happening and they get pushed out of an animation, etc. -- that's where most of the "unresponsive/sluggish" complaints are coming from. I kind of agree, just because with such a rhythm-based system, any disruption can cause you to do a bunch of stuff you weren't planning... but I do think that will prevent a lot of the super-crazy spin-spin-spin stuff that was happening with the moves in Live 08, so it might be a net gain in terms of realistic play and tempo.

            Re: NBA Live 09 - Czarisode 2

            Then that begs the question, how do you compensate for contact... i thought about that as I drove to the bucket on LO with PP, he rode my hip the entire way but i was still able to keep going and get my shot off... it was nice, but i wasnt crossing on him the entire way

            The only other thing about the dribble moves is that the video didnt show much of them in motion, just off the stand still.. but you can definitely do some of it while trying to get the defender off balance.

              Sup Family !! Sincere thanks to everyone who stopped to say something about the video. Its really helpful to know the vids are helping some of you out there enjoy the game.

              stumble that .5.5.5. was Hilarious... Loved it !!!

              Kdre and stumble both have great points on how do you handle the contact. The next vid will get more into the moves in motion. So far I think its spiderman as Czar would say... with much power comes much responsibility.

              I think they gave us a bit to much help with the animations that kick in to "save" you from being ripped like the auto step back or bump back that happens just as you may be making a decision to make a move.

              The way they handle the contact is much much much better than last year... that autoforce you to the right every time was difficult to adjust to. The thing I like is that you know what. Offense does not always dictate .

              If Defense is right in front of you in real life you can try a running inside out if you wanted but if he doesn't move he would in effect "stop your animation" if you will that is an ugly collision in real life. But in real life I wouldn't choose to make that move. I think we have become accustomed to doing anything whenever we want because its a game. But in real life what you can do is in part dictated by how the defense decides to play you.

              again thanks everyone for posting it really does make a difference and we will move on with this series and see how some of these questions get answered.

                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.
                it would be great if it did. I can't say for sure though trill !!!

                            Da_Czar - To echo Marcus' comments, our whole team is definitely blown away with these vids. Unbelievable job! When the play calling vid was posted everyone was watching it non-stop and the guys who worked on it were amazed at how you broke everything down so well. And now with the first look at our quickstrike stuff, you've impressed us again. Matt

                              THEN PAY THE MAN!! Hah.. j/k.

                              It's nice to get 'e-daps' from developers of the game though, I'm sure. There's so much great community stuff that gets created, it would be nice for the developers to reward that much like 2K did with MomentousCeltic and his videos. Some incredibly talented, witty, and knowledgeable people are doing a lot of work for free that would go a long way towards promoting these games and/or making them more accessible. Great stuff.

                                Agreed Stumble.. but not anybody in particular... Czar earned the opportunity if its ever presented.

                                It took him two weeks and he broke down playcalling and the dribbling system... That's pretty great if you ask me!

                                I'm his road manager... Someone Hire this man! His dedication, passion, bball knowledge , creativity and for the fact that he's one of us would go a long way.

                                Imagine this one one of their commercials but taylored really nicely. Im sure EA could find some NBA footage to match some of this stuff he's making up that would make all of us double take.


                                BTW, Czar Jr? ... Respect to the Mrs and welcome Czar family.

                                We aren't all nuts, just seems like it at times...lol
