little bit disappointed by the "freestyle air"

Postby kume on Fri Sep 26, 2003 10:17 pm

I know I may be a little bit demanding...but I think:
1.the "freestyle air" will work better with right analog stick rathen than pressing shoot button twice imo.
2.the air plays shown in the video was quite weird...actually I expected some awesome moves...something like what jordan did in 1991 finals(pass his ball from right hand to left's to make a lay-up in the air...just in case you don't remember :lol: )but certainly, I will only expect guys like kobe and iverson to make these move :cool:

i dont know if the idea above is cool enough or not, but these are the things i have expected.

one of the vince carter interview videos showed him doing double pump coming from one side of the basket to the other.... he got fouled, though...
so i'm thinking there would be more moves than what the "freestyle air" video showed.

its this video:

lol remember we are hoping for realism here ..anything too exaggerated isnt in most cases realistic. I thought the freestyle air was unbelievably well done from the videos and they didnt show all the possible animation either.

don't be crazy. that freestyle air system is awesome! U don't think it will work having to press the same button twice? Have u guys never played any other games besides live? NBA2k3 has that exact same system and what i said about that game last year it that was the best part, but live was more fun to play and i wished they added that feature to live next year and they did finally. About switching hands in mid air, they do that. Did you not see the video of the guy from san antonio i think going up for a layup with his right hand and then taps the button again and switches to his left hand? check it out, it's in there.

Yeah, that was Bruce Bowen. That was sweet aye. (Y) Marv said that he's goin for a dunk i think, then he swtiched hands and layed it in. It was very smooth. The sound of the ball bouncing off the glass is perfection. (Y) in Live 01 it was perfect too. In Live 03 it sounded crap, like a big boom.

Live 04 looks awesome! I'm even more hyped about this than i was for Live 03 last year!
