NBA Live 09 Quickstrike and Lockdown Video

by pastapadre
Posted August 28th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

IGN has a interview and video with NBA Live 09 producer Jeff Antwi on two of the new features to the game this year in Quickstrike Ball Handling and Lockdown Defense.

Back at the community event I struggled to find much success with quickstrike but felt that lockdown defense was a very valuable addition by adding motivation to play good defense as it could be rewarded.

You can find both of them here or watch the video here by continuing on.

    Per the producers, for every offensive measure, there is an equal counter measure on the defensive end. Obviously this is where the players rating abilities will come in. From what EA has been saying, they want there to be mini games within the game, however, I don’t know if they’ve addressed the post defense.

    I’m really psyched about the Lock-Down defense feature. Defense is my favorite part of basketball. The Baron Davis dunk was nice, very realistic, and Steve Nash’s layup was very nice, in the past layups were just unnatural. From what I’ve been reading, next year they want to implement player specific ankle breakers (ala Iverson, Kobe).

    sdot, yes 2K has player specific AB, but they are pre-set animations you can’t break out of, which kills my 2K experience.

    I wasnt trying to diss you i just didnt understand what you where talking bout, it was in march madness i think 06, but can’t you also say 2k copied it as well with lock on d but changed it up alittle which wasnt tht great. imo.
    either way both games look good, 2k9 proable will be better but I like the changes I’m seeing in Live.

    I wish 2k had a better fastbreak game even if I turn up the fb setting all the way up 2 100 it doesn’t feel right. Whatever happened 2 a solid 2 on 1 executed properly. I wish most players didn’t have the same floater or runner when U push LS back on the controller. I would like 2 have more sig moves that U have controll over. They can use the same idea but when U push LS back Players do the move U want them 2. 4 example chris paul gets in the lane then U push back on LS with the turbo held down and he will try 2 dunk on some1 with 1 hand, without turbo he will do his little sig floater. Every player should have a couple of sig moves U have controll of. I hate not knowing what move Im going 2 do in the lane when its not a dunk. 2k is still the better game( not by much ) but both have their issues. If ANY1 agrees please let me know. I will be buying both this year. Even though they both have issues I think they both will be solid bball games.

    1 of the reasons I’m buying live 09 is for the FIBA teams. Some of U R going 2 hate me 4 saying this but I found myself rooting for spain 2 win the gold. I guess the whole underdog thing took controll of me. I really believe if kobe wasnt on the team they would have lost that game and I know d wade was ON that game but I dont think that would be enough. Even though USA dominated the whole olypics that 1 game gave every1 hope again. U cant forget spain didnt have calderon who is a bad ass. I do know USA would win a series against any1 but 1 game eliminations against good players U never know.

    fam STOP tryin 2 be JC cuz ur NOT you CAN’T be dat MAN just be urself NO matter how much dat ish SUX

    Now 2 sfc there R NO randon moves in 2K it’s basket relative if you go on the 2K message boards i’m sure sum 1 can find da guide detailing wut moves you get out in wut situation

    ie 1 direction makes you try & draw da foul
    another makes you do a floater
    another makes him try 2 use his body 2 sheild da ball
    & the other makes you go off glass (I think datz wut dey did if remember correctly traded dat game in a while ago)

    all EA does is fill their games with features that don’t work. i’m a big online player and I know EA’s server will suck. i played 10 games of Madden online and got disconnected 8 out of the 10. Ridiculous. 2k all the way.

    Padre,

    I’m not one to tell people how to run their blogs…….. but you really should consider blocking this sdot character. This guy is ruining your blog. It’s one thing to have an opinion but it’s another thing to just be completely ignorant and ruin the experience for all who participate in your blog.

    I’m sure if you took a vote you’d have an answer as to how many people would like to see him/her gone.

    Last year on Online Team Play and Versus, it was smooth, never experienced any lag. I’ll give EA credit for that, 10 separate users and the game was as smooth as offline play.

    Oh wow, it is rare, when producers are so desperetly advertising a game, pros would be more creditable.

    At least I know now, why the Live series got a so bad player-movement system, probably the producers made the motion capturing…
