Never gonna happen.
Best we can hope for is they put this stuff on the disc.
Manuals get smaller every year and that won't change.
Both games are like that.
Maybe the could put a pdf manual on their website that's more comprehensive.

Re: stephensonmc...Sliders?

For those of you guys that seem really pressed to get a response from stephensonmc on the sliders, I've noticed that a lot of the "definitions" for the sliders can be found in the Dynamic DNA - Edit Player Ratings mode of the game (360 version). As you highlight over different aspects of a players ability, you see that there's a small description of what they (supposedly) do in the game and what it effects.

The other thing that I notice is that a lot of these sliders might be packaged in a sense, as in one slider might have a strong correlation with another (i.e. user interceptions (high) + cpu pass accuracy (low) = more user interceptions or deflections)...I know...Duh, right? Will, I personally plan on doing some experimenting and seeing what creates the most realistic feel for me and seeing if these sliders effectively do what they're suppose to.

Anyway, hope this helps and if not...meh, I tried.

I'll check those out, thanks.

I for the life of me don't understand why ALL games don't have this.

Re: stephensonmc...Sliders?

Sorry man, I don't have this info. We're right in the middle of pre production for the next NBA LIVE and no one has had a chance to sit down and write this information out.

It's on my radar, but we have a season starting with NBA LIVE 365 that's a priority at the moment my man.

Steph I'm sorry if I seem like I bother you, but man this is the game you work on and you don't know what the sliders mean off hand.

Just let us know what sink or swim slider, LOL.....

Absolutely my man! That's why I've been on the boards a little less because things are ramping up.

I don't know the sliders off-hand because I just started. I told you guys I'd try to dig them up for you guys and then said that it'll be a while because we don't have the time to sit down and write descriptions for each slider at the moment.

This process would only take a few minutes at best. You're telling me that no one over at EA can take a couple of minutes out of their precious time and answer a few questions from it's loyal customers? It's not like we're asking for the code of Live 09 or anything technical.

Most of the sliders are self-explanatory though, but others like Sink-and-Swim and User Alter Ability are question marks. Do you think you can find out what those 2 sliders do.....if not, that's cool.

agreed.

but they do have your green. And it is EA.
lol

I have been waiting for this answer for over a week as well as other 'minor' questions I have about gameplay that are not in the useless instruction manual. Why dont they just put semi nude pics of Jessica Alba in there instead?

Re: stephensonmc...Sliders?

although i find it strange that someone could produce a game and not know its details or be able to find it out i'll laught that one off....

but with all the hardcore bball guys on this board and none of us have heard of "sink or swim whatever" leads me to ask HOW and WHY would EA name a slider in a bball game a name that no one knows and use a term thats not a basketball term...

with madden, fifa and somewhat live being medicore i WISH i could wake up tomorrow and not feel the urge to ever play sports games ....

Re: stephensonmc...Sliders?

You guys are a bit rough about these sliders aren't you ? I mean to expect someone to know everything about every area of a game they just started working on is a bit rough imho... no need to practically call the man a liar.

How about a cheer for him just no pulling something out his @SS and wanted to get you quality info..

Re: stephensonmc...Sliders?

Yeah be easy I mean Steph seems like a cool guy I'm sure he ll get info on it when he can, I think people are taking this whole talking to game developers online for granted not many game companys are doing this.
