Here's how you play Super Star Level

[Playmakers]

Nogs and Fluffy this should make your day.

I finally cracked that bad boy.

You have to play on that level but it has to be done using EA's Player Lock feature.

You have to LOCK on to one player all game and control him only. Now your other 4 guy's will committ fouls just like the CPU players do.

This is the only way possible. I mentioned this before that I think EA created this game to be played on Broadcast camera but the only way that was possible was by using the Player LOCK FEATURE.

WELL that's how the game has to be played on Super Star. Their is no collision dection because if you try and play any other way you have to control all 5 of your players and still they won't committ any fouls.

On Super Star level the Players will only function using Player Lock.

BINGO!

I'll have SUPER STAR SLIDERS up ASAP. Unfortunatley you have to play more within the team concept but hey it's better than nothing. If you want to control all aspects of game play stick with All-Star the ratings makes the game pretty competitive.

Super Star Level takes the game to another Level but you basically depend on your AI players alot more to help you out.

This should be good because now I've discovered two seperate ways to play the game.

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

Man, just when I think you have done everything possible. You come up with more. I still don't know how you think of half of this ? More excellent news! And to think I was gonna trade this baby in.

I'm so happy with All Star right now. I got the bigs blocking in the lane, defense is solid, the 3's are toned downed and players are playing just how they do in real life.

Best thing EA has ever done ... Leaving every player and every attribute editible. They really gotta employ you over at EA so you tell them how their game works ...

Mad respect dawg ...

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

I'm gonna go play an exho game on player lock and see how I go ... I think the AI is up to scratch to make it all good. I do reckon it'll be hard as hell but...

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

Player Lock sliders look like they will need to be slightly modified since your AI Players on this Level now do their own work on offense and defense.

I should get to work more on these this evening and post them up. It'll give guy's two ways to play NBA Live. I still prefer the Press Camera but Broadcast isn't too bad in Player Lock.

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

Some great stuff going on between Detroit and Miami on this Level using Player Lock.

Very first play of the game Ben Wallace goes up and rejects a Shaq dunk attempt. The Heat recover the ball and reset the offense and Williams dumps it low again to Shaq this time he spins off Ben and delivers a powerful two handed slam and gets the foul.....

Of course Shaq missess the FT attempt.

Next possession down I deliver a pass to Rasheed Wallace in low blocks the Heat come with a double and I cut towards the basket using Billups who I"m controlling in the game. Wallace delivers a sweet pass to me out of the double team as I cut the basket with Williams trailing me on the play and I get the layup and the foul from Antoine Walker.

So, I'm up 3-2 and Miami comes right back this time Wade gives Hamilton a pump fake.....Rip leaves his feet and Wade blows by him to the rack and throws down a rim rocking one hander. It looked so sick from start to finish of the play.

DAMN EA doesn't have automatic replays....

I haven't played PLayer Lock for about 2 months but it's pretty sweet once you learn the controls and call the plays for your team on Offense and Defense. Of course on Super Star Level the CPU is SICK aswell.

I'm gonna give player lock a hit this afternoon, my time...

Should be interesting ...

This is for Next Gen.

EA screwed up the collision detection on Super Star Level for the 360 Live. That means the CPU will committ fouls but the Human players won't.

So, to combat that if you play on that Level using the Player Lock Feature since your AI teammates are operating on their own kinda like the CPU players they will now committ fouls.

Player Lock isn't that bad IMO it actually plays pretty good and gives a nice change of pace to the game.

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

I might give Player Lock a run down the road. But right now the new rosters and settings have me hooked on 5 on 5 play. I played against your Mavs and switched their lineup to have Dirk at SF and boy did he play like the real thing. He was just shooting right over the top of my SF's trying to defend him on the perimeter. I think EA did a great job with his signature form.

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

PM, How do you get the human controled team to run plays when player lock is on?

Start your PG out high and move right or left then tap the D-Pad for the play you want to run. If your controlling someone other than the PG tap the D-Pad and move that player to his assigned spot on the court.

You'll have to study the plays to perfect where the ball moves on the court.

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

Playmakers anyway to figure out how to get the human players to foul without using player lock?

I played 3 games on super star without it and you were right there simply weren't any fouls called for the cpu team. Then I switched to player lock one game and they shot 26 free throws. The All-Star level is challenging right now but I know eventually it will get easy and would love to move up to super star level. I'm guessing you've done a great amount of testing on this level and did you find out any possible way to get more fouls called on the human player without player lock being used.

I don't think its possible at all. I think one of the things which makes superstar level harder than allstar is, the programming doesn't allow the user to play defense. Its near impossible on the perimeter to alter a CPU player's shot, commit a foul or sway the outcome of a game through defense.

The CPU seems to make its shots regardless of anything the human user does. I played a whole season and playoff series on Super star and the game felt the CPU was controlling the outcome. You play a game and watch the user's AI players. They don't challenge shots period. They try and stay in fron of their man, but they won't challenge anything. Hence the no shooting, blocking or reachi in fouls. The only fouls you see are the in air collision fouls ...

Re: Here's how you play Super Star Level

Player Lock only that's what I've been saying all along.

Super Star is built to either use Player Lock or you'll have to control all 5 of your players but that still won't get you many fouls.

Some guy's if given the chance and using the PG only on Player Lock will actually find this setting to be a great overall SIM experience. You get the smartest AI in the game on Super Star Level and your players basically function on their own ratings offensively and defensively.

So, that's still a good trade off if you ask me. I would suggest going through one season on All-Star user control everything and then move up to Super Star your next season being able to control only the PG on your team.

I'm going to test this out later this evening hopefully it works.
