Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

The embargo was just lifted.

I can't talk about anything online related or relating to the huge announcement coming up.

I have a huge write up I will post later this evening.

So.... what do ya want to know?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

is the be a pro mode just player lock with fancier stuff?

are there automatic replays during the game, end of quarters, half time, end of game?

any ESPN integration while in game?

can we shoot around while the game is loading?

is the gameplay smoother?

does the rim bend when hung on?

did they change the free throw system, and how so if yes?

can you just do directly under the hoop and dunk without being blocked still?

how have GTMs changed?

are they using euphoria or a similar technology so arms and legs of players dont cut through each other?

is the replay camera still very jerky?



...hey you asked for questions thanks for doin this

Be a Pro mode has you player locked for a game. It allows you to do certain moves (have them written down, have to wait til I get home for sure) and you awarded points for successfully completing the task during a run play. Very similar to FIFA's mode.

Auto replays in-game, after half and after game. Again, similar to FIFA.

ESPN integration isn't really advanced. You can play the NBA Game of the Week.

You can shoot around in the practice gym while the game is loading.

Gameplay is much, MUCH smoother. Very interactive on offense AND defense.

FT system is finally changed! You have a blue bar across the top of the back board. You have to time your button press with a white portion for the shot to go in. This may get easier over time but lots of community guys were having trouble with it.

Can't dunk at will under the basket. The blocks have been re-written and blocks from behind are very effective now.

GTM?

Replays are amazing... we finally have EASportsWorld available for NBA Live! You can also change your camera angles... speed up and down the playback speed... much more intuitive than 2k's Reel feature from last year. Saved replays even play in a big HiDef TV in your practice gym ala NCAA. VERY sweet!

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

Did they change the movement of the players, previous version they looked awkward at times. How are the playbooks? Does Washington play like Washington. Thanks

Absolutely no way I can answer that. 2k hasn't revealed what they are doing yet. All comparisons will have to be to 2k8 for the time being.

Plus, you'd have to wait until all the info. is out. Honestly, if someone can pinpoint 3 things like that then they aren't looking at this game deep enough.

Probably my biggest disappointment... I could not play a game vs. the CPU. There were too many guys that wanted to play (and rightfully so) so pretty much every game was head to head.

If anyone got any free time to play against the CPU, trust me... they couldn't make accurate statements, especially since the game was incomplete.

Player animation is absolutely amazing. Guys falling after leaning shots, defenders recovering on blown plays, players making hard contact on drives to the hole... all a welcome addition and bring much life to what was, IMO, a stale NBA Live '08.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

you punk, getting me all excited and stuff, lol

GTM = Go To Moves


sounds like they finally hit the nail on the head after ditching the PS2/xbox/PC engine


I guess my last questions is if there is a sense of momentum with the offensive players giving them a better chance to score. Like if VC gets a couple steps towards the rim he is going be a lot more dangerous than if you play up on him.

That's only for when you start up a game, in Exhibition.

My time with dynasty was limited; There is the use of ESPN for following the league's happenings, but nothing similar to a video sportscenter.

One cool tidbit... as we were being shown the game, the Nets-Bucks trade was announced on the Sports Ticker before anyone knew it.. had to stop talking about the game b/c we were so shocked.

Video clips came up ala NCAA.
