NBA Live 14 Signature Styles, Controls, Coaching Strategies, Adjustments & More

[The 24th Letter]

Check out the latest NBA Live 14 blog, which discusses how you need to maintain a rhythm of the dribble, instead of spamming the controls. When getting into a rhythm, it becomes easier to chain from levels 1, 2 and 3.

The blog also discusses defensive controls and introduces the defensive slide feature. You will be able to attempt a dig steal, contest, and take a charge with the right stick. You will play against team specific defenses. So something that might work one night, won't work against a team that defends specific plays better on another night. You can adjust your team or specific individuals on the fly to come over the top of screens or go underneath, force players a certain direction, pressure the ball, post defense, double teams and more.

Make sure you read the entire blog here.

Looks good, but more like bounce tech demos. They need to show how this translates in 5 on 5 gameplay.

Not gonna lie, I LOVE the defensive options and settings. If this actually works as advertised, EA could be on to something special with this.

Sounds good, still wont judge till i see off screen gameplay. But the most of the defensive adjustment have been in 2k for couple of years. Still nice

The offensive/defensive strategy sounds nice and I liked the way D Rose's dribbling looked, it looked just like him. Still waiting on that 5 on 5.

This has me as curious as I've been about Live. The ability to choose where to force the offense is sick as well as team specific defenses.

Apparently the pokemon ad didn't want me to read this article right away.

The bar was set.

And now it's raised.

I thought they were posturing awhile back when they mentioned defensive schemes.

If those work the way they should work...then wow. Game-changing.

On-The-Fly individual defensive settings? That's a first.
