nice injury :shock:

...and prince should get injured cuz he's so thin...if the can have accuracy with the injuries the game is pretty much set...

I can't watch the video but I was wondering since Vin said 'nice injury' do injuries now happen alot in-game?

Yes they do because on the first video Prince went up for a dunk and he was fouled and he got injured. It was a great animation.

Nice.

So there is not only injuries this year...but we actually get to see the injured player grimace in pain...nice.

by **YoUnGzEE** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 2:20 pm

Whoa that Fro of ben's kind of looks like Mr t's mohawk!

by **Bill Russell** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 3:37 pm

Very nice videos... I didn't like Ben Wallace's hair though...

I don't know why so many people have gripes about Wallace's hair. It looks very much like the REAL version.

His hair is not a perfect semi-circle like in Live 2003. And everyone here knows his 'fro is not a thing of beauty.

by **cocobee** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 3:53 pm

I agree Rey J, there was a post here a while back showing how Wallace looks in real life with his fro and the nba live version. The 2 fro's looked the same. I think EA took in consideration that wallace's fro isn't this perfect circle but a wild bush of hair that seems to squeeze out of his headband.

by **ReyJ** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 4:03 pm

Haha! "wild bush"... i like that! :lol:

On another note, I think Wallace looks a lot more intimidating in the game with his 'fro lookin' all over the place. The guy's an animal in real life anyway.

Also, I don't know if anyone else realises this, but the court seems smaller. Is it just me? :roll:

Oh and one last thing, did every shot in those videos appear like they were all swishes?

Nice, especially the commentary. I believe this is the first time the commentators actually acknowledge a player's injury...and they even offer a quick analysis of the impact it will have on the team's fortune!

by **Andreas Dahl** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 7:27 pm

i realy like the videos. it looks a lot better then from the '18min video'.
the injury looks good, although he's normal for like a second, then he gooes in to a complete diferent animation (same goes for most layups)... that will probebly be improved though, it was much worse in the '18min video'
a thing that i still feel is bad is the passing, it looks wierd most times, in a way it looks that they just throw it somewhere and it acedentely stands a player there

but man, the dunk at the end look so sweet, it's awsome.
the blocks look very nice (Y)

, defenetly a step up from 'swatt-fest-2003' :wink:

+ it looks that they completely fixed the 'colision'-thingy

by **Scary Hedo** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 8:46 pm

awesome videos, I really like the webber block on sura and the 2 handed sura dunk, looked very realistic.

by **Darius Miles** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 10:29 pm

sura? i thougt it was darko milicic.

by **Andreas Dahl** on Sat Sep 27, 2003 10:34 pm

the dunk was by Sura,
but Milicic is in the game to... he got the ball a short while...

by **endofanera** on Sun Sep 28, 2003 1:13 am

I liked most of what I saw. Some of the off the ball movement is still a bit clunky. Ie. Ben Wallace going into running animation to get 1 foot closer to the rim as the ball goes up. I simple motion captured step in would be good.

The Jackson set shot strange looking shot was kinda cool in the last video. The contact around the rim looks good too. I was also pleased to see that the rebounding stats popping up looked pretty good. Sura was player of the game and his stats were pretty realistic 10/19 from the field. Mind you I'm not sure if Bobby Sura has ever shot over 50 percent in a game in his life :lol:

Another thing I've noticed, the dunks seem normal to me--I haven't see any over the top dunks as of yet? I like the fact that the dunks are not oo fancy. The animations look very good in this game.

by **Colin** on Sun Sep 28, 2003 4:49 am

I didn't like how Bob Sura had 26 points and pog.

I liked everything else, the injury cut scenes will probably be a lot like madden 2004, with different ones depeneding on what you injured.

by **ThisizaJackMove** on Sun Sep 28, 2003 7:37 am

Good sh!t. Also on the pause menu they have the game leaders in stats great

Yea, but i hope to see some flash dunks when a player is on a fast break and there is noone around. Again, this should happen only rarely.
