is player lock any good in live 06?

[k3yD]

this will decide whether i'll get the game or not.

1. does the cpu pass the ball around?
2. does the cpu take shots itself?

to those who already have the game, could you guys please test this out? it'll only take at most FIVE POSSESIONS to find this out.

thans a lot!

Defintely an interesting question, it's not the main way I play, but I like to use it at times. I'm skeptical that it's been improved, but hopefully..

I can only go off the demo and it was similiar to last year except it seemed the computer ran the break better. The passing seems similar to last year and the computer at times will throw very bad passes cross court.

2. I'm not sure about the shots just b/c I just assumed they wouldn't take shots by themselves so I always pressed the button for them to shoot. On the fast break I didn't have to press the shoot button for them at least

When I buy the game I'll let you know more about the player lock b/c that's all I play!

Could someone please confirm? I'm thinking of purchasing, but I need to know how Player-lock plays.

That's all I play with is player lock. The AI is definitely improved. The computer will sometimes make bad passes like in previous Lives but they don't seem nearly as dumb as in the past. They run the fast break to perfection and most of the time they'll dunk/layup off the break by themselves. The CPU even takes jumpers now without you pressing the shoot button...so player lock is pretty good so far.
