In addition to adding the Practice Mode, the new update will contain some of the visual improvement on player's face. The past few weeks, EA Sports has been meeting with different NBA teams in which they are doing something called player scans. Player scans are basically pictures and face scans that really focus on someone's facial features (marks, size, etc.). Once they scan every player, they hand these scans to the Computer Animator in order for them to duplicate that face as best as they can. This method has so far proved to be successful. EA Sports ' NBA Live staff truly believes that this will give the players within their games very realistic faces. They plan to use in this year's game, and in the future to really enhance the game.
Last but definitely not least, the gameplay has been modified. With gameplay, EA Sports has improved "responsiveness and control for first steps". This means that will quicker players in the league will have quicker steps when they have the ball. In real life , a quick first step allows you to be a step ahead of your defender as you drive. This part of the new update is supposed to give the gamer that realistic motion. :Look for these imporved aspects to be a major upgrade for NBA Live.
