NBA Live 14 - The Science of BounceTek

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has posted an NBA Live 14 blog detailing BounceTek, their dribbling mechanic. The videos show that they have eliminated some of the flaws seen in the dribbling animations that were seen in NBA Live 10. They are looking to squash all of the canned animations and bring you more responsiveness.

Quote:

The dev team recaptured all of our dribble animations in order to give players the responsiveness they were looking for. Our technology allows us to ensure that movement is as fluid as it should be in order to deliver authentic gameplay. Our dribbling has something called "Authentic Responsiveness," which means the ball is controllable when it touches the player’s hands, ensuring that control is responsive when it should be and unresponsive when it should be. While that sounds counterintuitive, it's important to create the depth required in a top-notch dribbling system. Depth is created through decision-making and risk-reward options that forces users to think about what they want to do with the ball in their hands.

NBA Live 14 will only release for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles, later this year.

Check out the blog and let us know what you think of BounceTek.

They seem to only be focusing on bounceTek. I like the idea of it but I hope they start focusing on other areas of the game.

I liked how the videos detailed flaws from NBA Live 10 and showed how they will be corrected in NBA Live 14.
