I tried to use as many teams and uniform combinations as possible. It means the world to know the work is appreciated. I understand eveyone may not like every show but for the people who appreciate it to take the time to say something. ALWAYS means something to me. Its what keeps me going on hour 10 of an 14 hour editing session. Anyway I'm off to bed have a good night family !!!
Much love for showing off those bullets jerseys. I'll never run with the current Wiz jerseys with freshness like that at the ready.

Czar! You are the man! The video was amazing. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into this Live coverage, we all appreciate it. This vid made my night, seriously.

This is a good year to be a gamer nerd who loves the NBA .

EA is getting back to what they used to do best- innovation and great controls. I know Live 03 was the worst dunk-fest in the history of the sport, and overall it was comical... but you know, the freestyle controls that they introduced that year were truly innovative. As laughingly unrealistic as that game was, the controls felt amazing. Looks like Live 10 might just be the innovative next-gen Live we've been waiting half a decade for.

Thanks for making my decision on which game to purchase much more difficult Czar.

But seriously, first year in ages that its probably going to come down to the last day, so I'm not making any pre-orders. Probably will get both titles down the line, but only one will come home on release date, so we'll see.

And as always, incredible work.

Is the title "the takeover" a coincidence?

Why is every shot that goes in a swish?

i really hope the cpu D. Rose will break us down like that, wont be fun for us only to be able to do these moves

Awesome that EA did this amazing turnaround in one year, and didnīt just PR their game to greatness with VIP treatment of key members and hyping personel changes. Looking good.

Loving the vid, this level of control is going to be gangsta, however why is everybody beating up on the hometeam (Grizz) in their highlights...lol. Keep doing what you do, the community appreciates it.

I love the fact that we can control everything in Live and I never really liked the whole "control the player but watch what happens" in 2K.

IDK I feel like when something is pulled of in Live 10 its going feel so much better to me knowing I made everything happen.

Some people like that style in 2K but I have never liked it. Besides all the player momentum and weight is going to make sure their is difference between BD and TP.

So in theory they maybe able to do the same moves but with one player certain moves may be more effective. Which is something Czar alluded to in his preview each player feels different so you have to change your dribbling style accordingly.

My biggest problem with live last year was that i felt players had no individuality...rather just placed into groups...im really hoping players actually feel different as czar said...
 
# 196 Gmoney2002 @ 09/10/09 11:17 AM
I think I get what youre saying Novastar. The same stick move animations are attached to two players who have totally different ballhandling skillsets. You basically want more "Signature" play or animations assigned to players. That's a whole lot more animations to add though if that's the case but I hear you man.

I don't neccessarily mind this for now. As long as they continue to fix gameplay mechanics and the animations that they do have are as smooth and seamless as can be.

The dribbling system looks very cool.
The thing I don't like is that these defenders have no clue how to block shots. It's like they're not aiming their arms to block the shot. It's like a windmill swing...
I predict ppl are going to drive at will because they know that a perfectly timed block attempt will have absolutely no affect on the shot.

In college hoops if you have a pg and a sg, the two have the same movements based on the sticks, but the results would be totally different. If I tried to shake and bake with the sg, more likely than not he will lose the ball or stumble, if I tried those same moves with the pg, he could pull them off with no problem. You have the stick moves, and the individual player ratings that actually play out as you watch and play the game.

In 2k9, If I am on a certain spot on the floor I can hit the left stick button and get a kobe move (if I am using Kobe), if I am on the same spot and hit the same stick I get a lamar move, instead of a kobe move. The kicker and the beauty of it to me is, I get moves I don't necessarily control, the game takes into account the player and does a move that the player would actually do.

After watching some of these videos, I remember seeing Dereck Fisher looking like Chris Paul on one of his moves. Fisher should not be able to even remotely handle the rock like CP3 and Aaron Brooks should not remotely look like Carmelo, while handling the rock. If stick skills are the same for all pg's and sg's then what is the point? If everyone can pull off the same moves with various players due to stick control, that speaks more of arcade to me. So far I have seen that in some of these vids.

It is not so much that they all should be signature moves, is that they should not all be the same based on stick control.
I hear you but again, in order for this to be implemented more animations must be added to provide that variety you desire(I.E. An animation package with slower, less crisp, crossovers)

Even a beaten defender can get a paw in there, get a strip, or make a physical play on the ball from the rear.

I hope both titles provide a good balance this season.
I'll agree with you that there was not as much especially during fastbreaks, but the one on one game in live 09 certainly had some speed cheats going on for the defense that felt cheap with people sliding in front of you after getting beat. That looks to be all but gone based on vids. I'm hoping for two good hoop games but I can certainly say that it appears we have atleast one for certain in Live 10.

I feel you, and I agree. I especially felt that on Bron's moves at the end. While he's got those handles, hes way too tall and stiff to pull them off that quickly. His handles are nasty, but 6'8" 260 nasty, not 6'1" 180lbs nasty. Born and I talked about this offline a few weeks back...Bron has got some sick dribbling ability, we agreed that while he can pull off ant dribbling move at will...it will never quite match a much smaller guard who uses those moves out of neccessity, and not just because he's feeling frisky.

For now, I don't have a big issue with it, since us hardcore players can simply limit those size-ups to the appropriate players ourselves. I have faith that Mike will add sig features to that mechanic in the near future.
