As promised, weโre back today showing all of you the new dribble moves that youโll see in NBA LIVE 10 this year. We really wanted to differentiate between players this year. What makes LeBron, LeBron? How about CP3? One of the ways in which weโve captured this is in their dribbling styles. Letโs start with the new โsize upโ mechanic in NBA LIVE 10.
The size up is a series of dribbling moves used to breakdown a defender. How am I being guarded? Where is the opening? Answering these questions is the purpose of the size up. Once the ball handler catches the defender biting, he can then perform a go move out of the size up to take advantage of an over-zealous defender or a mismatch. Basically, the size up keeps the defender on his toes! In NBA LIVE 10, you perform these moves via the right trigger from a standstill position. Once you move the left stick (to move the character), you break out of the size up and start moving. One of the great things about this mechanic is that it can be broken out of at any time, or better yet, seamlessly linked into any quickstrike dribbling move using the right stick. Thereโs no waiting for the animation to play out before going into your next move. If you want to start that next move, you can. In the video below, you can see that weโve captured authentic player specific size ups. You can really see the difference between LeBron and Kobeโs size up moves.
The size up is step 1 of the dribbling moves this year. Master it and youโll be shaking your defender (especially a human controlled one) in no time. Just because we have size ups in our game, it doesnโt mean that everyone can do them. If youโre a big man with a weak handle, and you use the right trigger, youโll do dribble moves, but good luck trying to keep up your dribble as itโll most likely get stripped or youโll lose control. This also doesnโt mean that the LeBron and Kobe size ups are money moves either. Again, this is a simple mechanic used to branch into more deceptive, calculated quickstrike moves. Do the size up for too long, and you open a window for the defender to read your next movement and strip the ball from you.
Thereโs also a couple of things in this video that I want to point out to you. Youโll notice right off the bat that thereโs not a lot of off-ball player movement. Donโt worry, we have a TON of that this year. We just called an ISOLATION set in each clip to showcase the one on one matchups that we primarily wanted to capture. And finally, yes, that is a eurostep you see Derrick Rose doing. Weโll have A LOT more on the different ways you can finish at the basket this year in the coming weeks.
I really hope youโre enjoying these gameplay videos guys. Thereโs a lot of them left, so if you havenโt seen something you want to see yet, donโt worry you will.
