Re: Ask the devs a question

are ft an unanswerable question because i know the questions have been seen but no answer and i believe we are all waiting

FTs were done for online play due to issues with lag and the timing window. Sounds like the window is now too big unfortunately.

The FT change should only be seen in online play, NOT offline.

Please look online at the top 1000 players and their FT % over the last week since the change...Everyone is in the 90+ percentile...Lag online was not that great or prevalent and I certainly would rather deal with a little lag as opposed to going 120- for 120 over my last FT attempts.

So I'm assuming nothing can be done about it now?
If so, that sucks, because free throws are such an integral part of the game.

Agreed...Its almost a gamekiller...IN fact it really is a game killer because there will now be virtually NO MISSES on FT attempts...I like how fouls are more prevalent in the game but at this point they may as well skip FT's all together because its a waste of time when people are shooting 99% from the line...I missed 1 outta 2 recently with my eyes closed.

Can the Online FT meter be changed?????

I've had plenty of problems in the past with EA games online but I must say the last 2 years online connectivity and stability has been very good for EA games...I don't know where the feedback came from about the FT meter but the lag this year is almost non-existant....I've played well over 100 games and have maybe seen 2-3 games that had problematic lag...Lag concerns should have not prompted the change this year...Can it be readjusted???

Re: Ask the devs a question

Hey guys, the initial feedback in this forum and others was that the lag and shaking of the camera was so heavy that it was really hard to shoot free throws online.

I totally understand your issues with this "fix" though. We'll discuss here and see what's possible, but I can't make promises.

Why can't I edit the sleeves (both arm and calf) for Carmelo and Iverson?

It's because something else on the arm is conflicting with the sleeves.

If you edit those, then you should be able to edit the sleeves. Is it ideal, no. We are working on this for 10.

OK, thanks for the response.

Re: Ask the devs a question

How come you guys dont bump up the difficulty for online ranked games. I see that a change was made for 5 on 5 but why not head to head?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Can you guys please fix the player rotation and the re-order roster problem in dynasty mode? I'm tired of seeing players play out of position, it take the fun out of dynasty mode, and this was the same problem last year with Live 08.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Is there a place I can set the players minutes/rotation? I keep having my starters play nearly the whole game, while the next highest rated player in each position get a few minutes. Even if I put them last on the bench they'll get playing time ahead of whoever I put infront of them.

1st and foremost if the ONLINE FT meter can be adjusted you guys and your online programming team should s3eriously consider fixing that part of the game or at the cvery least changing it back.

EA Games in the last 2 years have pretty much addressed tyhe online lag issues and this year lag is not an issue with LIVE, Madden, NHL and FIFA...Whoever was complaining about lag on LIVE pursuant to FT's must have experienced a few ISOLATED instances because I have played over 100 games and have maybe seen lag twice.

At its currect state the FT system is almost a game killer because it takes the strategy oif fouling poor FT shooters completely outta the game...The sad part is the patch created more contested shots resulting in more FT's being shot but now everyone is shooting 99.9% from the line.

Steph....can something be done???...I mean really..if you look at the ONLINE LEADER BOARD and observe the last week in FT %'s I think its clear to see that the change has been a problem...Thanks

Re: Ask the devs a question

Developers....

Is it possible that you can release a PS3 downloadable full-version of this game via the Playstation Network?

The reason that I ask is because I'm remembering the demo when the in-game replays were a non issue. As you know many of us are not getting the replays nor the half-time shows at all. Last time I asked, you guys were not sure where to go.

I'm wondering if those of us that have the problem, perhaps just perhaps if we had the game loaded on to the hard drive, we can once again enjoy the in-game replays like we all did in the demo.

If this does become a possibility, can we have some kind of code or something to download for free for those of us that have already paid for the game?

Thanks.

Can any of the devs answer this question???
