NBA Live 15 Twitter Chat with Executive Producer Sean O'Brien, No Sliders Confirmed

[Sports fanantic]

This is not very encouraging at all. Not having Sliders in a Sports Video game is completely unacceptable. Very bad move by EA Sports

I'm naive to game development I admit but seems like a lot to do. Of course no sliders is a big deal also.

You'd be surprised to see what even 1 day of tweaking and altering can do.

Not every player plays the same. Some people may not like the way the game feels by default. Ideally, the default will not need to be changed, but it's still good to have options.

1st not a fan of the series. I'm just open minded. I killed Elite 11 and Live 14. I declared this series dead after last years game. You can go back and check


Also this has been my stance on sliders for years. Even when EA had them in their games. This is also well document here at OS. So please don't try to paint my opinion as some blind loyal fan making excuses. That couldn't be any farther from the case.

Did anyone ask about a demo?

Sliders feel like a short cut for designers. The only reason sliders are needed is because the game isn't tune enough out of the box. I understand my opinion is rare, but that's how I see it.

So, you are claiming that every game that didn't have sliders was great out of the box?

I'd rather be stuck with a game that needs tweaking - and be able to do it, than a game that is great for some but not for me - and I can't tweak it.

Edit: How did you like Sony's basketball series on PS3?

How did you come to this conclusion? The point is if it's not tuned enough that I can play right out the box something is wrong with the game. If players are making 90% of there lay ups or only 10% of drives end in fouls that's a problem that shouldn't have been there to begin with. If you or I can correct these things by simply pressing some buttons why aren't they tune in the 1st place.
