NBA Live 14 Dribble Control Details
The release of NBA Live 14 is less than a month away, and EA Sports is finally starting to release more and more information about its first NBA game in four years.
In its latest release, EA Sports showed off the new dribbling control system that will help players get around defenders by pulling off the best ball moves possible. There will be three levels of dribbling control in NBA Live 14, and the development team has dissected each level for you to see.
"Level one moves are basic handles like crossovers, hesitations, behind the back and so on, all controlled by simple flicks and holds on the right stick."
"Level two moves (above) take things to the next level, adding some more motion and momentum to your dribbles as you chain together moves to lure your opponent to take a wrong step or move out of position. There’s a rhythm to these moves, as you transition from one to the next so you’re not simply jamming the thumbstick in multiple directions in order to try and catch a lucky break in the animations. Think of these as setup moves, where you can lure a defender into a screen or create the space you need for a quick, uncontested jumper."
"Last, but likely most important, are the level three moves or the signature moves. These are the “did you just see that?!” plays that some of the NBA’s biggest stars can pull off. These ankle-breakers are most effective when your opponent has been properly set-up, pulled out of position and is scrambling to recover. All it takes at this point is one well-timed signature move and you’re past his hip and on your way to the hoop. Check these moves out in action below."
