NBA Academy: Part One

One of the most intriguing additions to NBA Live 09 is the NBA Academy. While this hasn’t gotten much fanfare after going through some of it at the community event I believed many people would find it to be extremely valuable. One thing that hasn’t been done is producing a full list of drills and showing how they are run so that is what I plan to do over the next few days.

The following drills are available in the NBA Academy: Fast Break Offense, Fast Break Defense, Pick and Roll Control Offense, Pick and Roll Control Defense, Offensive Rebounding, Defensive Rebounding, Low Post Offense, Low Post Defense, Quickstrike Offense, Quickstrike Defense, Offensive Lockdown, Defensive Lockdown, 5 on 5 Full Court Team Practice, 5 on 5 Half Court Team Practice, and 5 on 0 Half Court Team Practice.

An issue that remains from back at the event is that the players defaulted to for the start of each drill are random. Even though I was using the Blazers in the practice gym each time I loaded up a drill it was different players from different teams. In some cases the players involved don’t make much sense for the type of drill being run. This is something I was told would be fixed but apparently wasn’t.

In this first set of videos I’m showing the Fast Break Offense, Fast Break Defense, Pick and Roll Control Offense, and Pick and Roll Control Defense drills.

So Pasta are you saying that the players that you use in NBA Academy are random and you can’t choose who plays the drills? Thanks…

This would've been cool if the rebound drills weren't buggy and the low post defense weren't impossible to pass beyond level 1.
