gotta agree with you there. even though the commentary needs improvement, i still need to hear it to get that realistic feel.

watchin this video made me wonder when commentary was first introduced to sports video games. i remember nfl 2k was the first game that the commentary really stood out to me. after a year of playing i was still hearing new lines.

Pared, can moments like that be found in Live?
I am seeing tumbles and off balance shots here and there. The difference I would say is that even the tumble looks to be signature D-Wade. In Live most of the off-balance ani's are slight and simply specific to their positions in general.

As soon as I started the clip, it felt like coming home. I might play a few "play now" games with it on, but none of my Association games will have any commentary.

For me, creating an on the court feel is always the way to go. PA, crowd, whistles, player chatter, bodies hitting the hardwood, rim rattling dunks, all those things draw me into the game, while the commentary takes me out of it. YMMV.

i dunno what YMMV stands for, but I guess I can feel what you're saying and where you're coming from. For me, I'm all about replicating what I see and hear while watchin a broadcast game on TV rather than replicating having courtside seats at the game.

I agree completely. I guess I could see if you had music playing in the background though. But it just sounds too quiet.

Why are you typing in all caps? Anyways, I never said you dislike him. It's just that when one person says something bad about him, then everyone else joins in and I'm left trying to defend him by myself

From all caps to no caps. Ain't the internet grand.

Anyway, on topic, With no disrespect intended, Steve and Rhude, have been making the half court offense/Dynamic A.I. look less advanced then it really is.

I know they'll still learning the game, and are just putting up vids for our enjoyment, not really totally concentrating on how they play, but I think its not really showing the level of depth the game has.

They've been over dribbling, late on passes or not passing it at all, over and over. With purposeful dribbles and quick, crisp ball movement in the half court, I know we're going to see more open mid range shots, better spacing, and just much more fluid gameplay.

out of that whole video, i was most surprised when wade punched at the ball like he does sometimes, i hope this game is full of those "that was dope" moments
 
# 35 jhern87 @ 09/30/08 12:35 PM
Steve, I dont know if you posted the vid for me or not but THANK YOU!

I have been waiting for a Blazer vid! ..

But did he really punch the ball though? To me it just seemed like a natural "damn I missed the free throw" arm swing action, and the ball just happened to be near his arm.

Well, either way, it did look nice, intentional or not. Plus there's really nothing more I can say about the "falling on the floor" animations, every one of them that I've seen looks so smooth!

I also like how the other players on the line do their "little things" while someone is taking a freethrow. Everything in this game seems so alive.

I agree with you,I'm already getting tired of this game and I don't even have it yet. The videos look and sound like 2k8 in my opinion. While it may feel different from 2k8, I think it will get old really fast. Don't get me wrong, the graphics and presentation have improved a lot, but it doesn't stick out as much from a gameplay perspective.

Besides, what is there to do in this game anyway? I noticed that this game has no features besides Association 2.0 and OTP. I think association is overrated anyway because all it is is headlines with an NBA.com interface. This game will probably only be fun to play against other people. That's good and all, but I want a game that's fun to play by myself and with other people. From the looks of it, Live is that game.
