Re: NBA Live 10 Exclusive Video: Czarisode 2: Season 2
The defense in these VIDEOS looks meh. I will wait until the demo, then full release to call this a real issue, but IN THE VIDEOS...since we are talking about the videos...if it's OK to mention defense, and not just the magnificence that is Live10...the defense was questionable. In the first of Czars fav moments (1:15) , PP simply stopped defending Wade. Allen challenged his shot, while PP literally stood there and did absolutely nothing. Thats the Celtics defense, and I doubt the Czar had it on anything but All-star level. The other game had frustrating warping cheats to fix that, and I don't want to see that either...but letting Wade pullup for a score in the teeth of one the leagues top defenses...In the video...without his own man doing anything whatsoever, is bad juju.
In the video. Not the full version...in the video. Since we don't have the full version, talkin about the video. Want to be clear.
When Deron beat Ridenhour, the help defender went into a block animation from the left hash (2:45) Williams went with a right handed layup on the right side of the rim...and the help decided to swat at air at least 4 feet away from the play. In the video. That tells me that near defenders are programmed to jump and swat...not to defend the shot. But maybe the full version is different.
On Brons stepback, Lee was guarding Varejao, and may have been shading Bron (we don't know where Andy was...he looks like he cut to the basket off camera, so Lee may just have been following him)..but if so, that looked great. And on Brons drive, we finally see the lowly Knicks help defense actually tries to provide real help and swats at the same general area of the ball. The other two drives were poorly contested.
In the video. Maybe not be in the real game. Maybe Czar was playing an old build before defensive AI was tuned. I respect Czars comment at the end that thse may just be isolated instances based on the vids he captured.
We'll see very shortly...
