NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

I have seen many posters so far surrender to the idea that travelling (like LeBron's near the end) must happen in order for the user to retain control. I honestly am not entirely sure what you guys mean by that. Isn't there a way for us to have control and not have travelling like that occur?

From my perspective you have three loose choices for these situations:

1) You make the dribble animation playout before the user's input to shoot/hopstep/etc goes into play. Here there is no travel, but there is a sense that you don't have full control or responsiveness. NBA 2K8 comes to mind.

2) You transition to the users input, resulting in a more responsive experience which can occasionally have a travel as a by product. This is what i'm assuming is going on in Live 10.

3) You transition to the users input and call a travel, training the user to not input instructions that will result in a travel. Interesting, but I don't think devs are taking that step just yet.

Also, again Live's "cuts" are not prerendered cutscenes, they are simply camera cuts. Not sure that the game would flow more smoothly without them but as you said, its likely something you can turn off if it bothers you.

I can't tell if that's a complement or not?

Haha, neither can I.

But I really believe you have some valid points there.

I really think this is a huge step in the right direction for Live, I mean that really looked like an actual NBA broadcast.

The thing's I noticed though, there were some choppy plays.

ex) Delonte tried to pass to corner, tipped, saved, ball rolled around for a while before Delonte got to it, just didn't look good.

The Delonte Block on Ray.

The commentary really wasn't good at all, at times there was just complete silence, but when actually watching games commentators find something to talk about all the time, it was also just really robotic.

All in all it looks like a great game, I'm gonna have to let the demos decide which I get this year. Hopefully Live has an oline Franchise.

Honestly, in an actual NBA game that probably would not have been called on him.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

As usual EA games have poor play-by-play commentary, and GREAT color commentary.

Other than that, video looked nice, can't wait for both demos already.

Probably not. Also, I didn't mention it as I have zero knowledge of how game programming works, but i'd imagine coding the game for option 3 and testing out the requisite bugs would make it a bit unwieldy to implement.

Well said. I'm not sure number three (as you mentioned) would be completely legit because the move made by the player controlling LeBron was a legal move, but he was drawn into the defender with two more uncontrollable steps. The good news is it occured only once in a video clip and by no means insinuates it happens all the time. At worst, it's a small pock.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Eh....Not feeling the vid...

But I have to say man...EA put in work this year...although im not feeling the vid as a whole I do see MANY improvements...Hey, there is still a chance that when I actually get my hands on this my whole view can change...but im not very impressed as far as this video.

Steph, you guys keep up the good work man!!! I still plan on picking this up either way...

Best Pierce jumpshot I've seen to date well done EA

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Looks more fluid overall. But it still looks like the movements, commentary and the presentation is still not my cup of tea. There was really weird animations going in this video and the hunched players makes it look unrealistic. I'll have to try the demo. Looks like live is making steady improvements. I'll have to see if I can actually play this one. Because live 09 demo was painful for me to finish the short game.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

Thnks Blingballa but the link doesn't work either. I guess someone took it down, if it did work at one point. I'll just have to wait it seem.

Re: NBA Live 10 Video: Cavs @ Celtics

I mainly only play 2k's series, and I never liked how Live moved or looked in this gen, even last year when everybody thought Live was "back"...........



But this video was Beautiful............I'm actually impressed with everything in it .
Credit to EA for this one..........beautiful.
Keep this up I might even switch back to Live...............

[apManila24]

this is a great improvement from live 09. graphics are beautiful especially the lighting. the animations look great and are smooth. but i saw a few problems. i saw sliding on defense and i saw 2 players go through each other. the rim still sounds weird and the commentary was surprisingly bad. hopefully they fix all of these problems before release. this should be a good year for basketball fans
