NBA Live 10 Video: Hustle Plays

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Hustle Plays

Of course, the NBA saw a new way to market their golden boy. They couldn't give two sh*ts about Josh Smith, though.

Josh Smith not only invented and mastered it, but he has perfected it down to an art form.

Bill Russell wishes you all would just pipe down and understand there isn't anything new under the sun. "Josh Smith invented it" my foot.

lol, sure. A lumbering, unathletic (no disrespect, greatest defender of all time), 6'9 PF/C invented the chasedown.

He may have been the first player to use it (I'm sure you're thinking of the ONE clip in existence of Russell getting a chasedown block on a fast break and swatting it out of bounds, which he says a shot-blocker should never do), but Josh Smith was absolutely without a DOUBT the first player to make it part of his defensive arsenal.

The running seems a bit robotic. I mean they hustle animation looks awesome but afer they hustle for the ball, the players don't look in a rush to get into defend. They are running casually and sort of robotic.

yep - that's what I noticed. On fast breaks, the players don't look like they're really sprinting at full speed - they're kind of just jogging casually - EA needs to add another level of running speed for fast breaks only - i want to see guys really sprinting to the hoop and running as hard as they can.

Josh Smith may be the best practitioner of the art in the modern game, but you are seriously misrepresenting Russell. He was the fastest man on those Celtics teams, a collegiate track and field star known for his freakish athleticism (much like his rival Wilt). He would, with some regularity, get a defensive rebound and beat the other team down the court for an easy score.

I trust my father and grandfather, who saw probably a hundred of his games, when they say he did this, and not "one time." Just because there isn't much footage doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I wouldn't dare compare Russell's alleged athleticism to Chamberlain's-- that's gotta be illegal. Also, I didn't say it didn't happen more than once.

I know basketball history-- it's in my blood, so you can't preach to me or try to educate me on this matter. Believe me.

It was like that last year too its only a minor gripe for me though. As long as I can still move fast on the break with quicker players I can live with it because other than that everything else looked pretty good. In fact the running animation seems like the only one that still has that awkwardness to it imo.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Hustle Plays

Oh, I most definitely will. I'm getting Kobe first thing and attacking the rim. And my first demo impression will be the results of that action.


O, and those are some bold statements you've been making. You sir have been added to my sig. :wink:

hold me to it. Enjoy

keep in mind you saw Kidd and Fisher...not exactly burners (although they did get seperation from big men).

Try the same with DWADE, LeBron, Kobe, CP, D-will...different kind of speed my man.

I'm not going to continue this - we've gone so off topic as to be silly - but Russell was a 400m sprinter of note and an Olympic caliber high jumper, with numbers comparable to, or better than, Wilt's in the same events. That anyone could describe him as lumbering is just a horrible mistake.

And remember, after all, Josh Smith is about the same size as Russell. And with about as good an outside shot.

Yeah, I agree. they are passively swaying their arms. Its not really the level of speed. I think it has to do with the animation. If a player wants to run for a fast break, he should look more urgent. Its all about authenticity. It seemed like it was a scrimmage. lol Kinda bummy for me as I was looking to buy a basketball game, and this was definitely looking better than its competitor until I saw that video.

I'm taking it with a grain of salt tho. Demo is not out and its not a final product. But I hope they fix that.

Also with the hoop. It doesn't look too rich. the graphic and animation still need to be fixed.

I can't wait for the demo though

Wow that's great news if they have their own animations for sprinting w/ ball.

Or is it just a difference in speed only like in Live 09?

This game is pretty to look at. The thing that catches the eye the most is the OUTSTANDING lightning. The arenas feel very distinct because of it.

On the Mike Wang trailer we could even see the "foggy" effect that resides inside the TD Banknorth Garden. In this latest trailer, during the Nash play, we have a beautiful shot of the US Airways Center upper level, full of details.

Marcus, I hope the AT&T Center has been re-modeled. In Live 09 it had the same roof as the the Pepsi Center and the tunnels were in the wrong place (in real life they are behind both backboards).
