NBA Live OTP night six recap
February 25, 2008 by pastapadre
Night six of NBA Live 08 OTP is in the books and it was one of the better all around nights so far. Both games were very competitive and using the lower ranked matchup and international teams seemed to pay off. The first game we had three vs four and the second game was a full five on five.
Following the next roster update we’ll do some games with the teams that made acquisitions (Cleveland vs Dallas sounds good) and probably another international game since this one turned out so well. As I mentioned before within the next couple weeks there is the plan for a special OTP night to take place which will include some NBA Live producers. Look for details on that to come soon.
I lost track of who was controlling who again so if you were in on the games leave a comment letting me know who you had and I’ll add your name in there. Again thanks to Im P Dub for putting together a highlight video. Continue on to read the short recaps, stats, and view the video.
Bucks 111 @ Bobcats 108
In this game the Bobcats held the lead from the start and into the third quarter but just couldn’t put the Bucks away. A couple late missed three point attempts did the Bobcats in. A remarkable 62 point 19 rebound game from Okafor ends up not being enough.
Milwaukee
Andrew Bogut 13 pts, 11 rbs, 2 ast, 1 blk, 5-7 fg
Charlie Villanueva 12 pts, 3 rbs, 2 ast, 5-6 fg
Desmond Mason 7 pts, 1 ast, 2-5 fg

Raymond Felton (Elmira Express) 10 pts, 22 ast, 5-9 fg, 0-2 3pt
Matt Carroll 2 pts, 1-3 fg, 0-1 3pt
France 116 @ Spain 122 OT
Spain held the lead for the majority of the game but France stayed on their heels and played clutch in the fourth outscoring them by eight to force the game into OT. From there it was back and forth but Spain was able to string together a couple scores late that France couldn’t answer. Really balanced effort by both teams as well as spread through individuals. Turiaf had a triple-double and Navarro nearly had one. This was one of if not the best game of OTP that has been played. It was a lot of fun and the score doesn’t really represent how it was slightly slower paced and lower FG% due to the overtime.

P Dub- Do you find playing on that camera angle better for OTP? I hadn’t even thought of changing the camera but watching that video it looks like it would work better because your player doesn’t go off screen.
You can see your player more often if you are upcourt, but your player will still end up off screen if you get upcourt fast enough. I find it better for seeing open teammates, and if you are zoomed in, you can see the graphics better. I started the game zoomed in but changed my camera settings because it was too far in and when the ball is in the air the camera pans up to the point where the players are off screen. I find it a bit easier to stay in front of the player I’m guarding, though.
I am going to try different cameras to see which one I like best.
