NBA Live 14 Signature Styles, Controls, Coaching Strategies, Adjustments & More

Huge positives: The Defensive settings and control really does sound amazing and could add a huge level of depth and strategy. Bouncetek sounds like it could really be a game changer and just plain fun with the sigs and branching into whatever you want to do. If defense is balanced well it can make for some really fun 1on1 battles and creativity coming off screens or in open space.
Negatives: Still this huge elephant in the room, where is the video of someone actually playing defense lol. It all sounds great so far, but I am concerned that the game is two weeks away and we have seen virtually nothing of real full-on gameplay. Also on the dribbling animations, the players are always hunched over which a player usually will only do if they are trying to set up their opponent or looking to explode with the dribble. Do they stand up straight when casually handling the ball up the court?

Thanks for taking time to answer some questions.

I have one for you that you'll probably not be able to answer. Everything is starting to come together, but when are we going to get some 5 on 5 gameplay froma playable camera?

Props EA!

Been wanting these types of options on defense for a while now. But like most of you have said, it's all about the execution of these added details. If they do work thogh, I agree with bigeast...GAME CHANGER.

Excited to hear what they have in store for playcalling next week also. From the podcast with Scott a while back, he mentioned the system being free from flipping through pages of plays so it'll be interesting to see how that was achieved.

This synergy partnership could be big for EA. Hopefully they use it to not only update the D schemes but playbooks as well. So many new coaches this year, so it's going to be cool to see if they could do this for the community.

Love the End read below about Defense ( you could just show us) but no just more dribbling.

So what we got here?
Powerful next-gen platform and this poor dribbling moves and robotic current-gen doll players.
WTF EA? You must think I'm a complete idiot right? This dribbling looks exactly the same!

Wow a lot of this stuff definitely seems like nice features. It's good that live is working to implement these things, hopefully it pushes both bball games to improve like this year in and year out. It'd also be nice for Madden to incorporate these kinds of strategies lol being able to control how DBS play their receivers, which receivers they cover, etc. who knows, they did mention that features across different EA Sports games could make their ways to others in the following years. Looking forward to it

Dribbling input looks exactly like 2K. This is not a bad thing at all, but it's funny that they have practically identical RS mappings.

The narrator of the videos seems like h cant contain his excitement....
