I hope there's Player Lock and it doesn't get butchered (AI teammates dribbling until shot clock reaches zero, etc.)...

You definitely will if you can't explain to these guys why the PG's are taking all the shots again...lol

Nah, im really not worried about it though, I think it was an isolated thing, but too small a sample to come up with a conclusion like that.

The demo though should put all of that to rest as the above poster said. Any ideas when more videos are coming?

From Producer Matt Lafreniere:

"Marcus, regarding the PG domination thread being talked about in the Gamespot vid:

I played a game with LA vs. Cleveland, default roster, default settings. I played the game straight up (no cheese); I guarded the ball carrier at all times the best I could. Boobie took a couple shots in the 1st, then was largely quiet (2-5 overall). He called a lot of plays early for Big Z; LeBron only had 5 shots at half I believe. Then in the 3rd/4th they really started looking for LeBron and he picked things up (finishing with 9-20). On my end, I ran some pick and roll and a lot of triangle iso’s for Kobe (I jacked with Kobe admittedly, 11-19). Pau was just off today (played weak).

Essentially the PG will call plays for the best players on the team (based on DNA). The thing to note in the Gamespot vid is that I intentionally didn’t guard Boobie so he could get the ball back on offense so Brent Nielson could talk about the different features. I also wanted to point out that I was sitting on the ground beside the couch with a big truss in front of me and I could only see about a third of the screen when I played. The second shot was just a fluke. This is where DNA Tendencies come into play… if you leave a shooter like Gibson alone, he will take the shot. Here's a screen of Cleveland's final stats for the game."

Alright. This is very reassuring for the time being.

I'm going to stay skeptical because Live 08 was just unplayable because of how the PGs hogged the ball.

Glad to see that you guys took the time out to address this.

I think we explained it quite clearly man.

The stats completely speak for themselves.

You see Gibson's stat line as the CPU offense. I get that you didn't get to see the entire game, but I guess the demo will let you figure that out for yourselves.

Good. You were one of the guys I wanted to reassure.

Guys, we have logic in our game.

If your defending the PG and are just hammering on the "x" button to steal, the PG would be stupid if he didn't take advantage of this by driving on you.

The PG shouldn't have to go through the offense (nor should he be expected to) if you're playing him stupidly.

Re: Live 09 - On the Spot (Gamespot)

We know this man, I don't think its a big deal but people want to be reassured as i said from past games.

I do think EA is making an effort this year to change things up.

Is the point guard also smart enough to dish the ball to the open man if help D steps up when he drives? Or will he still force shots?

Re: Live 09 - On the Spot (Gamespot)

not at this time man. Let's just say it'll be different from the traditional demo

o god no... please not another madden debacle

Re: Live 09 - On the Spot (Gamespot)

In dynasty it only effects the rosters you start with so you won't have to deal with that players real life hot/cold streak while playing dynasty mode.

Thanks Jano . I can't wait for the demo to drop.
