Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

I have a few questions. But first of all, I would like to Thank You Pared for all you have done to answer these 30 pages of questions, so I give you this...
Alrighty, thats done now heres the questions.
1) How is the user rebounding? In the demo I couldn't get ANY rebounds, none, zip, nada. Im guessing because I been killing the CPU in user rebounds in 2K the last 2 years and im stuck with the timing :P. But really, hows the user rebounds in the full game? Am I right about not being able to get em in the demo, but its fixed in the real game, or do I just got the timing wrong?
2) Also does EVERY player in the game have a "signature shot" or do 75% of the players have the same "default" shot like in the other live?

Thanks alot Pared, let me know.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

I really don't like the USER CONTROLLED rebounding. It was probably one of my main issues when playing the early build. Too many times my player would just jump out of the play or not go after the ball. It almost felt random. I was told my timing wasn't right when going after these rebounds so who knows. I'll tell you from playing the demo it still feels very random and unresponsive. Your CPU teammates go after boards but you don't feel that sense that you can box out and "hawk" to the ball during a big rebound.

I don't know what they'll be "set" to but I didn't see a large amount of signature shots. You should see them for the big names but you won't see a large portion of the league with unique shots. Personally, I think they had enough in there so it's recognizable and that's fine with me... However, if you're the type that can notice an elbow being at 9 instead of 7 while shooting then you'll probably have issues with the amount in the game. They do have signature shots while leaning though, something you don't see much of in any other basketball game.

Yea, the same was happening to me in the demo. I hate it sooooooo bad hopefully my timing is wrong. IF this is going to be an issue, Im probably better off with 2K again. Main reason is because we play 2 users to a team, and I love dominating the boards.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

Not sure if this has been asked already but are there Arena specific PA styles, music, sound effects etc.?

[Pared]

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

There are arena style specific little touches in the audio, yes.

How far they go? I'll let you know more when I get the game.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

Sup Pared. Can you tell me Carmelo's and Jamal Crawford`s rating? And in create a player mode, what signature movesets are there for Carmelo? (This will be my first time getting Live since 06 so idk if signature movesets are there)

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

Sorry man, 1 more question. As stated, I didn't play Live since 06 so can you tell me what's new in dynasty mode?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

The embargo was just lifted.

I can't talk about anything online related or relating to the huge announcement coming up.

I have a huge write up I will post later this evening.

So.... what do ya want to know?

How bout something we have been asking for from ea fro close to 15 years. Are there " In game saves" if no what is the excuse this time.

[Pared]

Re: Ask me anything about NBA Live '09

I have a write up on Dynasty mode here in the forums... plus, one of our community members has some great write-ups as well at the NBA Live Series center.

I may do ratings once I get the game.

Not sure on in-game saves but I highly doubt it. I'll let you know.
