NBA Live 06: Freestyle Superstars from IGN

[MmP]

Did I see in the clip LeBron using the 2 steps?
Does anyone know if the 2 steps will be added in this year edition?

[zmac]

What do you mean by 2 steps?

[MaD_hAND1e]

2 steps between 3 defenders... its in one of the videos

[Matt]

initial reaction is that this will be abused.

i saw Ray Allen pull up for a 3 and didnt get blocked....does ths mean that perimeter blocks are no more?

[.PixL]

these new additions make the gameplay seem too much like the suns playbook (or lack thereof) with the fastbreak moves and everything =\

i hope not, since i like to play a slower half court game. 'the right way' as LB would put it

You couldn't execute a proper half court game in any NBA Live because the NBA Live series never had a good mid range jump shot. It was either post up or three point shot.

In Live 05, it had a good midrange jump shot because I could use it whenever I wanted.

K then, my fault.

i was playing live 2005 couple of days ago and I can not think of all the crazy passing they are incorporating to the new live to be coming out soon. hopefully this will not develop into a whole world of bugs.

That's a terrible lie; the shot works, sure, but it gets blocked 60% of the time...

[T-Comm55]

lol

I just hope that they allow for a true fastbreak this year to all the superstar freestyle thing to work. Live 05' sucked because guys would catch up to you on a fast break all the time.........very frustrating

Hey, 40% from midrange isn't too bad.

2 steps is when you grab the ball and just take 2 steps.. as opposed to doing a jumpstop for example... ginobili takes 2 steps a lot.

Well that's true that it does get blocked, but usually when I do it, I use the iso mode to where I choose the player and move around myself to find the open spot, kinda like Rip Hamilton or I just get someone to set a pick for me and I shoot it.

[Melo_Poland]

but how it will be to control that i don't understand that too much sorry about english

[point-guard]

Use it always,and whine that its abusing the game.why not..dont use it?so it wont abuse the game.it says u need to hold the trigger to execute the moves.so why not dont hold the trigger if u think its so abusing?just do a normal pass then

[Matt]

^^^that's an easy way of putting things. But in 03 you couldnt score w/o abusing the freestlye hop step, you'd just get your shot blocked.

[Bang]

Yea, not to mention the computer will use it too...even if you lower the slider..So it does matter.

[ignatu]

IF this means CPU players on your team and others will also play to this level, it's a good thing.

NBA up to '05, the only player playing spectacular basketball is the human controlled player. If I play the Heat and am controlling Shaq, I expect Wade to be driving or dishing to me, not having to take control of Wade to drive and dish to Shaq then take control of Shaq for the dunk.
