New Informations of Live 2004

Postby SteveT on Sat Aug 30, 2003 7:00 am

I saw the gameplay video of NBA Live 2004(PS2 version) at www.gamemeca.com(Korean site). I've downloaded the video file from there but I can't share it, because of its size(454 MB :cry: ).

The video has shown some 1 on 1(Vince vs. LeBron) gameplay and a match between the Dallas(Ranked 4th) and the Nets(Ranked 5th).

Most of the animations were smooth.
I saw some new jumpshot animations.
One-handed, quick-released(?), and some tough jumpshot animations.
The revamped block animations were good and it was somewhat... realistic.
I saw some interception plays being made during passing the ball around, but not often. Steals occurred when bad passes were made.
There was also some pass misses that went out of bounds. The players missed some shots in traffic too.
In the video, it was a 5 Minutes quarter game.
And the 2nd Quarter Break results was 20(Dallas) - 10(Nets). It displayed each team's score, rebound and assist leaders.
The game's speed & tempo was really toned down but still a bit fast for my taste. Just a little... :)
I couldn't see any Slider Menu in the video clip, but I guess it's in the Options Menu. :wink:

There are some bad news. Some critical flaws. :oops:
Player's Body Collision ??? I often saw players running through other player's body!!!!! :evil:
According to the video that I've seen, players occasionally ran through others and even sometimes their bodies overlapped each other. :x
I really hope EA fixes this problem before release.

Now I'll give you some informations about the menu.

Wow the jump shot animations are the sh*t:D especially the fade away animation. Bad news is they still have that booming sound when a dunk is made. But other wise the game looks great.

This is my first time using Kazaa.
So if there is something wrong, just let me know.

I think u did it wrong. I think u shoulda pressed the other button or something. A screen will come up with the login name in bold. Then underneath will be three big ok signs with somethin in korean on them. Select the top one.(i think it says 10% then something) Then exit out of the popup.

Saw the video. I'm quite impressed. I think (hope) the collision problem will be solved in the final version. The gameplay looks much slower and more realistic but I think it's still too easy to drive to the basket. Hopefully that will be better with the collision problem fixed.

It seems they added some nice extras this year. :)

Again, great post, steve! The world would be a much better place with more people like you. :wink:
