NBA Live 10 Video: Hustle Plays

[Rocafella83]

I'm just gonna say my piece about the video.

The Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer play was a lil unrealisitc, because Boozer would not have got that high for the dunk.

Everyone seems to have the same roll on the ground and mouth openinig facial expressions when diving.

It doesn't seem to be any Signature anmiations or variety of them.

As others have said, the lighting and benches look amazing. I love the fact that you can now be rewarded with smart plays and utilize player strengths to take advantage of a average ball-handler. As far as the comments about the robotic feel to the players, I think it's dramatically improved from previous years, if I had any gripe about the animations - it's that the point where the player reaches down to pick up the loose ball is abnormally too fast. Takes away from the clean animation, IMO. Overall though great stuff EA.

Marcus (or other EA devs) I have a few questions if you don't mind.

1) I understand this video was to show the hustle plays, but every single time there was a steal/loose ball the defender got the possession. Will this be an issue?

2) Many of the steal animations are actually reach-in fouls (especially the ones going across the ball handlers body) - that would likely be called a foul, are there occasions where neither player retains possession of a loose ball animation and a foul is called?

3) It sounds like the old rim/net sound effects are still being used in this video, is that right? Is there in fact new sounds like was mentioned in a previous thread?

4) What percent is this build at, if you had to put a number on it?

LOL, my friend isn't going to like that. He hated '09 cause he couldn't dunk at will and abuse the steal button (he's a big cheeser, spin move spin move dunk in 2k9). Before that he would just bomb 3's every possession. Back on topic though, I hope if the player does get bye the defender we'll still have a chance to block the dunk, and not just get the foul animation like in 09.

I think it's easy to figure out that the next video is on size ups and then after that it's rebounding. If I am mistaken Let me know Marcus, but it looks like you guys are going in the order from the Producer video with Mike Wang. Regardless of whether I'm right or wrong, I'm still going to be happy to see some gameplay. good work EA, The game is already a lot better than last year so i see no reason to look for Flaws.

Change of subject: I was looking in the Live forums in another site and people are complaining about the ESPN license not being used in the scoreboard and etc. Well i forget but i think i remember seeing somewhere that this year there will be games on ESPN (Wednesdays and Fridays).

Marcus, Can you tell us whether this is true, or am i wrong?
ESPN is also associated with NBC right?
