EA has a new gameplay blog that showcases the game’s authentic responsiveness, various dribble moves and signature styles which helps deliver the most realistic game experience possible.
NBA LIVE 14 is built on the idea that to deliver the most authentic experience possible, you must ensure that the athletes move and respond just like the real thing.
Imagine a scenario where you are in an isolation situation and as a dribbler you fake to your left with a “hesi” move. You do this to get the defender to shift his momentum to his right so that you can cross back left to create space.
The driving force behind your success rests on the defender having to arrest his momentum before he can recover and chase you. This takes time and gives you as a dribbler the time (and space) to beat him.
But what if the on-ball defender could immediately change direction and move to his left without any consequences? The balance of the game would be broken, as there is no reason for me to try to fake since it has little outcome on my ability to get past a defender. This results in outcomes that are less varied and less authentic.
