BounceTek sounds like it'll bring a new element to defense, forcing you to pick your spots as a ball handler going against a lockdown defender and driving the lane against shot blockers.

	As promised, we're back today showing all of you the new dribble moves that you'll 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 we've captured this is in their dribbling styles. Let's start with the new "size up" 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. There's 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 we've captured authentic player specific size ups. You can really see the difference between LeBron and Kobe's size up moves.
