Re: NBA Live 13 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
The more I watch this, the better it gets. Some of you guys should go back and watch the video a second and third time. You pick up little bits every time that you missed before. Like the entire crowd jumping up and cheering when Lebron stepped out of bounds. Or guys like Shane Battier going for a rebound but he can't jump high enough and it goes over his head while he's leaning backwards. Little things.
I am worried about the shot selection from the Thunder though. I know Durant likes to shoot, but man, he was chucking. I really liked that play where he didn't settle for the top of the key 3 and stepped in to take a 2. That was a nice sequence. There was also a really nice sequence where the Thunder passed it around the perimeter a bunch of times before Westbrook finally got the ball and drove to the hoop to finish. Sadly, the Heat didn't have many highlights because of the person playing, but I did see a great back door cut from Wade at one point, and he was wide open.
I also like the way the players move without the ball on offense. They don't overdo it, but they seem to move to the right spots. After setting a pick Ibaka ran to near the top of the key but still within jumpshot range. And it seemed like wherever the user moved, the AI teammates tried to adjust to the person with the ball's position. One time this kind of broke down into madness though ,where the Thunder players were passing each other the ball while standing 2 inches away from each other and all bunching up near the top of the court. But I'm sure stuff like that can be tweaked.
Overall though, I can't wait to see this game in the hands of a good player. I think some of you should watch this footage numerous times and see if you can't pick out positive aspects of it instead of bashing it.
