Re: Mike Wangs Blog!
Yeah, I'll have to admit the force field issue with Ray and Tyrus in that video is annoying. Should've been a collision or something.Comment

Re: Mike Wangs Blog!
Yeah 2k9 has this.....the thing with 2ks's size up moves is it makes your defender move in an uncompromising way and gives the offensive player space just about everytime, I kill with Brandon Roy because of their animations. As long as in Live 10 I have control over my defender and he doesnt get sucked into a canned animation because someone is doing a size-up move then I'm cool. I should be able to have complete control of my defender.Yeah so in summation I don't know who you racing I'm already at the finish line with the flag waving, c'mon!Comment

Re: Mike Wangs Blog!
Okay, so obviously it's a matter of the defender making a mistake. That's not what it sounds like in Live 10. It sounds like no matter what I do as a defender, the Size Up will "charge up" the ballhandler even if I don't gamble, stay in the proper position and move my feet correctly.
Please don't tell me my point is moot.Comment

It's more of a setup move into a go move. If you're worried about the defender being helpless, don't. Look at the other video of Drose ripping Rondo. Plus, as a manual defender you have a few choices --- gap him while he's doing a size up, get up close and gamble for a steal risking him blowing by you, get up close and play solid d by moving your stick in whatever way he moves.Follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com/stephensonmc

Re: Mike Wangs Blog!
Oh, watched it again, you're right about the ball hitting the back rim. Nice blog, hope to see more contact animations soon.

It REALLY sounds like it gives you a literal boost in your ability to get past your initial defender, but whatever... I'll wait and see."charge up" was a bad word choice.

Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Dribble Moves
Not a big fan of the ball physics. Rose's shot looked extremely flat like a lot of the shots in Live 09. Love the dribble moves though.Comment

Re: Mike Wangs Blog!
Just think about it man... You're sitting there dribbling back and forth, between your legs, whatever.. the defender (especially a human, and ostensibly an AI-controlled player) isn't sure where you're going to go. If they happen to guess right or simply give you a ton of space to stop the drive, they can defend you well... but all the size-up moves make it tough to know which way you're driving.
That's the advantage of using size-up moves as opposed to just standing there stationary and then driving to the hoop, using an RS move, etc. I don't think it's anything more than that. And then to counter the effectiveness, the defender has an easier time ripping the ball the longer the ball-handler sits there playing with it.
I'm really not worried about the mechanic, especially on higher difficulty levels. I'm sure this was on Rookie/Pro again to capture the dribble moves for the video.Send your Midnight Release weirdo pics/videos to my new website: http://www.peopleofmidnightreleases.com!Comment

Re: Mike Wangs Blog!
Ray, I think a lot of the effectiveness in these sizeup moves depends on the player using them and the defender. If Kobe is guarded by Quentin Richardson, he'll be at an advantage and abuse him quite often. Not saying it will happen EVERY time because then there's a problem. 75% of the time, Kobe will get to his spot and score. When he's guarded by someone like Bowen or a well-known defender - there's more of a chance of stopping it or containing it. This gives the user much more control of the game and the ability to play 1-on-1 ISOs which happens quite often with superstar players. I love the feature and can't wait to use it.Comment
