NBA Live 10 Blog: Dribble Moves

04:10 PM - August 14, 2009 by KidHypeTellem

Lead Gameplay Designer, Mike Wang, has just posted another NBA Live 10 blog. This one featuring dribble moves.

Quote:


	"Today we�re going to talk a bit about the Dribble Moves in NBA Live 10. As you saw in Jeff�s blog, we spent a lot of time working on the ball handler�s movement this year. So as you move around the court and make hard changes of direction, your player will pull off contextual crossovers and planted turns based on which hand he�s dribbling with and where he�s trying to go. But everyone loves to pull off ankle breaking crossovers and spin moves so we had to beef up what was formerly known as �Quickstrike Ballhandling.� So let�s start by talking about size up moves. Whenever we�re in mocap and we ask the talent to go 1-on-1, the first thing these guys always do is pull off a series of stationary dribble moves before starting their drive. These moves, or size ups as we call them, are the first step in creating space for yourself as a dribbler and getting your defender off balance."

I believe Mike Wang said earlier in the "Ask Developer's a Question" thread, that the free-throw mechanic was going to be similar this year but with a new twist. I just hope that means it will be harder

I hope they have authentic free throw shots and routines. That's 1 thing I really liked about 2K9. Also I hope they have the players interacting between free throws.

In a sense, yes. But some people have their free throw routine but not their form, Pau Gasol and Kobe, for example.

So there really is no way to have Ray wear White at Home and Black on Road? I also noticed in the vid that CP3 is wearing black at home, shouldn't he be wearing white at home and on the road?

Yea exactly. They weren't captured very well like they were in 2K9. I'd be surprised if Live got around to this this year.

Thanks Beluba!

Regarding CP3, in the same video you see David West wearing a white sleeve. Maybe they had not edited Paul's accessories yet in the game and was from an older build. Just speculation though

^ Yeah I thought the same thing too, just wanted it to be made sure by one of the developers.

# 211 SageInfinite @ 08/16/09 12:57 AM

Also Beluba or Steph, can you utilize the right analog moves on fast breaks? Are their any dribble moves you can pull off on the break?

mike you mentioned in the blog locomotion what exactly is that all about?

It means the act of moving the player around with the left analog stick, same goes with defending. Here some videos showing it

	Finally, what is player movement without the ability to guard the basketball? So, we spent a lot of time improving defensive movement. As a result, we were able to move away from locking defenders in canned sequences where you were riding the dribbler around the court. This year’s locomotion system puts the control in the hands of the defender to react quickly and move their feet to stay in front. It’s all about anticipation and knowing when and who to crowd and bump, and who to gap up and play positional D against. Mike is going to get into more detail about what will happen if you do the wrong thing but I will say that this year, playing defense is way more fun now that you have to think about who you’re guarding.

I have concerns with this video ("Rondo Ripped" video):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-JtANiSZ_g

When Ray Allen goes to block the layup at the end, there is no contact - Allen literally "slips" around the other player in mid air and his trajectory actually shifts as his body is literally pushed sideways by a force field that surrounds the guy laying it in. You can clearly see Ray Allen get "pushed" to the right rather than collide with the guy. in reality, if ray allen goes up at that trajectory, he would slam into the other player in mid air and it woud be a hard collision and a foul.

I have seen a lot of these "force field" scenarios where the guy with the ball causes the defender to slip around him rather than make contact with him. This worries me.

Will there be more collisions on harder difficulty levels, or will the collisions be the same no matter what. Can EA put a slider where we can adjust the realism of the collisions so that a situation like in this video can be avoided.

The squeaking of the sneakers has been overdone

# 219 Air_Yeezy @ 08/16/09 09:14 PM

i dnt kno how EA did it but that is EXACTLY how D. rose dribbles and drives. Incredible. I have already pre ordered Live 10. Crazy good job EA.

# 220 heat3me @ 08/17/09 12:00 PM
