LIVE 2005: Freestyle Tutorial Videos
Tue Aug 17, 2004 10:57 am
Hiya,
I know most of you have downloaded, and saw most of the 'NBA Live 2005 Freestyle Tutorial Videos' now but I'm just upset with the whole dunking system.
After reading the interview article with NBA LIVE procducer 'Tim Tschirner' I thought Freestyle Dunking was going to be controled using the Right Analog stick on the PS2, XBOX, etc.
As he stated in this here, "You can string together hundreds of different animations to create the dunk you want, when you want it" I assumed you were able to create the dunks using the analog stick. But as you know, after watching the videos, the 'X' button on the XBOX which would be the 'SQUARE' button for PS2 users was to leave the ground after doing the 'step-gather'. As you held the X button, the player would do any random dunk. If you held the button longer, he would do a more dramatic dunk, but if you held it for a shorter time, it wouldn't be so dramatic.
The Slam-Dunk contest would have been more exciting if the Right-Analog stick was used to combine different dunking animations while you are in air. But instead, you use it for self-alley hoop passes, etc.

Also,
I was just curious..
Can ANY of the dunks you can pull-off in the Slam-Dunk Contest be done during an exhibition game, practice, or 1vs1 mode?
If not... then that just sucks.

I don't know if they will be the same dunks, but dunking in 5on5 is the same as it always was- push dunk button and he does whatever.

Yeah, Snypz, you got it twisted. Freestyle dunking is for the normal game modes. That's using the right analog stick to adjust your dunk.
The tutorials that were shown are for the dunk contest.
