Woot. Developer active on the forums cha-ching. Thanks for your response, can't wait for this game. Even though I don't really like basketball, I love the quality Freeverse delivers on the iPhone. This game (by the looks of the court) looks amazing!
I dont think you should. Look Below for an answer why. Not really, If you read the app info it was stated that this wasnt a full on basketball title, just an all-star shootout game. Looks like another thing that could be awesome turned into something bad (a la MGST)
I think this is just another shooting game. Check out Hoop Jones too. I was planning on doing a full 3D 3 on 3 basketball game but since EA announced they are bringing NBA Live I may cancel my attempt. Might be a while before we have a real basketball game to play on the iphone.
Sorry I just found the teaser on a website. Said that Freeverse gave it to them or whatever. No other videos were there.
We'll be posting more official content once the NBA approves it. The video is from the Simulator (but re-configured to capture video, the UI removed and such). EA holds the rights to the NBA basketball type game, so this is a a sort of Shooting/Skills type game. Think of it as a counterpart to Live when that shows up.
Ehh If this game is anything like the basketball games already on the appstore I probally won't get it. But if its more than just a shooting game than I can definately see myself buying it. I'm kind of hoping it will be like Gamelofts Real Soccer.
It is kinda Hard to compete with Hoop Jones since its free. And if you spend time hanging in bars (not that I do this.....ahem).....then you will already like Hoop Jones. So to make something that will blow it away will be hard! But then again.......Im a sucker for new games with great graphics so we will see!
No games and season mode? I was hoping for that, graphics look amazing. Oh well, gonna have to wait another 2 years for EA to bring NBA Live.
I'm really wondering how EA is going to pull off NBA Live. I would think that the iPhone screen is a little small for a full court basketball game. The controls are also another thing I'm wondering about. Flick NBA Basketball, imo, seems to be on the right track and the choice of making it a half court is a good idea for their business and cash flow. Competing against EA is, unfortunately, not a good idea since they're the "top dog" in the gaming sector. Even though this game might compete with those other basketball apps, I think the good reputation associated with Freeverse will have this game acquire a considerable amount of sales.
Looks good. Screenshots http://toucharcade.com/2009/04/18/exclusive-screenshots-from-freeverses-flick-nba-basketball/
