[Playmakers]

The OP is right.....

The super star players don't play like Super Stars in Live. They play like role players for the most part. Sure they'll have a few big games but for the majority of the time they don't take over games because DNA input doesn't recognize a GO TO PLAYER on any team

You can kinda trick the system by heavy loading the playbook designed to force more plays to the Super Star player but that doesn't remedy the problem consistently.

What NBA Elite needs is a play calling tendency slider under coaching options that allows the Human player to set a percentage or a specific game situational strategy that can force the action in to the hands of the Star player.

You see NBA Live unlike Madden, NHL or NCAA Football has never had coaching options where you can dictate percentages of a play/offense being run during the game.

Yes they added like 1 million plays last year but honestly the CPU never ran more 2-3 sets out of that playbook.

Those playbooks were basically useless unless the Human player was utilizing them duing game play.

Now I'm sure we'll have some people that will say Kobe, LeBron or Wade played like Franchise players.....if that's the case then I'd debate that Fisher, Moe Williams and Mike Bibby played like All-Star players because they sure as hell took over games just as often as the franchise players would do.

EA needs to really have QA people actually observe the CPU's behavior and how they react in situations like time and score. Watch how they run plays during games and look for odd player behaviors before releasing the game and having the community to give them a laundry list of feedback for the stuff that should be noticed by QA dept right away.

In Madden you can tell when a team is running a Wildcat formation or West Coast offense.....you clearly see them running a 3-4 defense and blitzing off the edge

In NBA Live you don't know half the time what offense the CPU is running because they often jacked up a shot after 1-2 passes making it hard to believe they are running a Triangle or Motion offense....

It looks more like an ISO offense or basic catch and shoot if you ask me 90% of the time.
