Team Basketball with Real Point System

Archive: 5 posts


Hi everyone, this is my first real LBP2 level. It is played on teams or by yourself. It includes a working scoreboard that keeps track of 2 and 3 point shots. Its very realistic and works great. Great fun. Please give it a shot, i've put a lot of work into it to make it near-perfect.

This was about the 4th different basketball game I've played and it had some great features I haven't seen before. The scoring system was awesome. The possession indicator and quarter indicator were nice touches, too. And finally someone did a 3 pt line!

I did think it was a nice polished arena that played well. I didn't have any problems with the ball rolling away too far, getting stuck up on the hoop, etc.

I didn't play with anyone else, though, so I can't comment on player interaction.

Here are my suggestions:

-- Since you are going for a realistic feel, maybe the basketball should look like a basketball instead of rubber bands or whatever it is.
-- Add some dunk/layup mechanics. Because the bounce pads are strong, it's easy to get right up to the rim, but then you kind of just get stuck on it and if you let go, you just launch a hard shot off the glass.
-- Since you are pushing the team concept and using sackbots, maybe you could give players team-appropriate jerseys? Red vs blue or something? That might be cool.
-- Minor, but maybe easy to change: it seems like team 1 should go to the right and team 2 should go to the left, not the other way around like you have it. That's how it's been in every game I've ever played anywhere and I think people are used to that (not just basketball, either...even fighting games, etc.)
-- And I do find myself wishing the shots had a little more arc. It seems like most of my made baskets were hard banks that rattled in. Maybe that's just not possible with the limitations of the grabinators, though.

I know you're not doing F4F, but if you want to try my level Junkyard Jailbreak, I'd appreciate it. Link to thread in signature.

- The game was too similar to the story mode.
+ The ball never got stuck.
- The quarters and possession lights don't really add anything. You need to tie some game-play to them. And example would be combo's for long possession or changing something based on quarter.
