Operation Sports - Press Row Podcast: NBA Live 14 Gameplay with Scott O’Gallagher

03:01 PM - October 14, 2013 by Steve_OS

Episode 49 of the Press Row Podcast features an in-depth interview by host Rich Grisham (@richgrisham) with NBA Live 14 Gameplay Designer Scott O’Gallagher (@ScottOGallagher). Scott talks at length about some of the challenges the team has experienced in bringing NBA Live 14 to life, all of the gameplay features and controls, and the ways that NBA Live will set itself apart from its own heritage and the competition. While there is much about the game that has yet to be announced – and therefore isn’t discussed here – it’s an interesting view into the game now that it’s almost time to be unveiled to a waiting community.

cause if it a success it'll go viral. the nba elite glitch had over a million views. that was bad pr for them. this can be great pr for them if its solid. I do agree with the stance to stay back. Last thing they want to do is show an inferior build and make the final build suffer, which is exactly what happened, last two runs.

yea i agree i don't mess with shoot with the sticks and 2k new controls is kinda annoying when i'm trying to just dribble, i have to hit the right stick quick if i don't want to shoot but it mess me up at time cause i end up turning the ball over by mistake be cause i can't control the stick like i really want to..so i love the controls for live

The great ones are never satisfied with where they are but looking to improve all the time. Just my opinion. I expect a serviceable game but I agree with you that 2014 should be mind blowing!

yea i agree with everything you just said, but i look at this year games setting a foundation for the features games, which EA already said thats their goal for this year...as far next-gen games in general it is what is lol..some ppl love what they see in them and some don't...thats just what type of world we live in....."hate it or love it"

he said they only had a year..and they did took stuff from 13 that they could use...and the game is taken a while to make because of things that had to be re-written and not mention that its going on new game systems(which every developer is trying to figure out)

I'm just curious as to what % of animations they scrapped from Elite and what % are brand new.

elite was not from live 10 if it was then it would not have gotten cancel..and the graphics in elite demo was horrible compared to 10

... What?

Elite 11 was built off of the Live 10 engine. They tried to smear a bunch of new gameplay mechanics and features in, but it was built off of the Live 10 engine.

same engine but completely different game. they scrapped most of live 10 fundamentals

I know that, and doing that was probably the biggest mistake they could have ever made. I was just trying to inform that guy that Elite 11 was definitely built off the same engine as Live 10

Yes it was. Player models, post moves, rebounding, nets, etc.

Hockey dude remapped the controls and nixed the contextual animations.

But the bones were Live 10.

It was the other way around. New engine with some Live 10 mechanics.

It wasn't a new engine. It was the same engine, they just stripped all the good they had with Live 10 and tried to give us Hockey on a Basketball court.

*All ImagesAbout this gameEA changes the game with NBA Elite, a reinvented brand of basketball that aims to revolutionize how gamers take to the court. The game introduces several significant gameplay changes that center around user control. 'Hands-On Control' scheme allows for one-to-one responsiveness of a player's movement and actions on the court, as opposed to traditional predetermined animations that require users to wait while a scenario played out before making the next move. Hands-on Control applies to everything within a player's offensive and defensive arsenal, including: dribble moves, dunks, drives to the basket, fadeaways, mid-air adjustments, blocks, steals and more.The real-time physics system in NBA Elite 11 allows each player on the court to move independently of one another, removing the two-man interactions that have long taken the user control out of basketball simulation videogames. In addition, a skill-based shooting system requires accurate user input, based on a player's position on the court, versus the randomly generated dice rolls that have driven shooting in basketball videogames in the past.Release Date:*Dec 31, 1969MSRP:*$59.99ESRB:*E (Everyone)Genre:*SportsPublisher:*Electronic ArtsDeveloper:*EA Canada

Thats the reason why they f up because they changed most of the game. FACTS

So?..... What does this tell me? It's a new game, with new features. I'm not sure you really understand what it means when we say they built it off the same engine they did with Live 10

It was still built off the Live 10 engine

Real time physics was the new engine son.

ADDING REAL TIME PHYSICS ISN'T CREATING A NEW ENGINE. IT'S JUST ADDING RTP TO AN ALREADY EXISTING ENGINE..

How in the hell else can I explain this to you!?!?! Literally making my head hurt

Just wow

Lmao

EA Sports recently announced that a new real-time physics engine is coming NHL 11 and now it appears that NBA Elite 11 will take advantage of this as well.*"First, canned moves are being phased out in favor of real-time physics. This addresses a major concern for both critics and the development team. Where you used to be committed to an action's entire animation as soon as you punched a button, NBA Elite 11 gives you the ability to interrupt and intertwine actions on a whim. If you're driving toward the basket and a defender cuts you off, you won't awkwardly run into or around him; you can slow your roll and interrupt your movie with a flick of the left stick."

Off topic but man was NBA Elite a horrible name. About as bad as New Orleans Pelicans. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest 3 years later.

You're aware that video games are made up of several engines, yes? Rendering engines, physics, sound, scripting, etc. maybe you should sit this one out.
