NBA Live 10 Blog: Dribble Moves

05:10 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."

He's being realistic, it's not possible to please EVERYONE. There's going to be issues that people have regardless of how hard they work. All I ask is that the game improve every year, and it's clearly done that already from last year.

I agree. Especially with the expectations some posters have for these games. With that said I think Live will be well worth it this year. What I don't look forward to is trying to find the time to play both games, lol.

You act like NBA players don't react to the gather

Tell Steve Blake, Nate Robinson, or Antonio Daniels (just to name a few) that this doesn't happen in the NBA. If you don't get my references then you don't watch enough ball...

Yea Im pulling for both games this year Live and 2K just gotta find some time to play em both. Hey Marcus man im itching for some OTP info man...I need my fix lol. Honestly I just hope OTP and 5 on 5 in 2k is very playable this year, thats all I really need in both games and I'll be set. 5 users vs 5 users is so epic online granted theres some sim style of playing going on.

totally confident in the product we've built, but I'm also a realist when it comes to OS. The way some of you guys are talking, you're bound to be disappointed b/c it's not perfection.

LOL at Ray and how ya'll tryna convince him. He's not going to like it, there are plenty of people like him, esp on 2K forums. I love 2K9, but trust me, if I looked with the same eye he's looking at Live with, I'd have shattered the 2K9 disc into a million pieces a LONG time ago.

LOL x100 at complaints about Rose's arc (on a leaning fadeaway in the paint for pete's sake LOL) and I watch 100+ NBA games a year, people DO jump as the shooter is gathering, and as someone else said, a good dribbler sometimes can get a defender to jump without even picking up his dribble. And ya'll call yourselves bball enthusiasts complaining about this!?!??!? SMH x1,000

But as for us objective ballers/gamers who got the $$ to cop both if they both good, we are excited because a better Live means a great year for virtual bball my friends! Marcus, Mike, ya'll deserve props for doing this in a one-year cycle, 09 vs 10 is like night and day!

As I say, the $60 is on tap! "Just my thoughts people"

Agreed. Sounds very "Sim' to me. Letting you make basketball decisions on offense and defense.

My kind of game. Controls seem simple and allows you to solve bball problems with bball solutions.

(...and yes, that last line is taken from Czar's sig.)

Again agreed. I don't think people realize what an accomplishment it has been to achieve the things you guys have achieved this year.

Can't wait to play the game.

I think I'm becoming a bit of a fanboy coz I'm getting all defensive when I hear people nit picking this or that.

The arc looks fine to me.
