Re: Ask the devs a question

I honestly have no idea how you guys could go about it aside from handing out keys and doing it in june/july but have you guys ever thought about doing a beta and getting feedback/bug reports from the people who play the game the most?

That's actually a real good idea.

I would love to see this but probably wont happen, they have community days instead to get feedback.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Yes, sports game beta access would be epic, because I think these communities are crazier than (or equally as crazy as) most FPS communities when it comes to over-analyzing things and being able to provide bunches of feedback based on a short, unfinished gameplay experience. I honestly think that's the way we'll avoid a lot of the really obvious bugs or blatant issues like the backdoor passing in 2K9 (or transition game in Live)... there have been too many big issues in the past few years to give me much confidence in the developers testing regime.

And that's not a knock on either of the developers, it just seems that they need the watchful eyes of community members to catch some of these issues... it's like getting a 2nd or 3rd read on an essay for school; you've looked over the document 20 times but will miss obvious errors unless you get someone else to look at it. A beta (especially one where we can run online quick matches against other users) would help with a lot of the issues, especially with a forum like OS getting access and being able to communicate directly with the developers before release date.

#1 - no, sorry
#2 - What do you mean here? The BAP camera tracks your player while keeping the ball in view.
#3 - We decided to go with one Academy camera to avoid some other problems that would have come up. Just being honest.

I play baseline. There is no way to lock BAP mode baseline. I have to reset it each time I turn the system on.

There are two main ways to play. TV presentation and 3rd Person (Behind the back). TV puts you on the couch as a spectator controlling the action, or as a coach with ultimate control.

3rd Person puts you into the game as an on court player. You are still held back by seeing your actual character, but you get more of the feel for how it is to play the game as a NBA player.

My thanks to whoever fixed Marc Gasol.

The Grizzlies are actually respectable inside now with him and Hakim Warrick.

Re: Ask the devs a question

I' m usually pretty positive about bugs and glitches. I have weathered through madden, ncaa football and nba live for years. I guess I can handle the 2 players guarding 1 and leaving the other wide open. It doesn't seem to happen when I don't use defensive match ups, so I don't. I simply have to sub the player into the appropriate position. If that means Bruce Bowen plays point than so be it. Now I have run into a glitch with IR/active/inactive players. YOU CAN NOT PLACE AN INJURED PLAYER ON IR! How lame is that. So I just got R.Mason injured for 13 days, no biggie my Spurs team is very deep. But now I have to run with only 11 players. No biggie, I usually only run with a 8-9 man rotation anyway. Ok so what if I get 4 players injured at the same time?! There is no point in even having the extra 3 slots dedicated to IR! It serves no purpose! Even though IR plays a major role in the real NBA. Well like they say, "If it's in the game, we just might fix some bugs months later and put it n the game" bs

Re: Ask the devs a question

can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE explain to me why cant i move players from the IR into thier starting roles...its soooooo rediculously frustrating that when i want to play a player vs player game OFFLINE that these rosters cannot be changed due to the DNA crap! it seems the only way around this is to reset the rosters to their original file that shipped with the game ( ex. Iverson on the Denver Nuggets)....Ive tried reorginizing the roster files from the most recent DNA file...I then make a new save file with those adjusted rosters...then when i load my rosters the lineups are completely f*** up...anybody out there know how to fix this im a few minutes from turning this game disk into a frisbee for my rotty

Re: Ask the devs a question

are the wizards playing with arenas right now? or the jazz with booz? answer...NO!

so what is your problem?...nba live 365 "made fresh daily!!!" so it is clear that players that are injured won't be in the rotation! man why are you weeping all the time...the majority wanted to have it back...because it is real and it came up to the slogan "made fresh daily"...

I mean jerry sloan can't use booz...so the gamer can't use booz...that is as real as a basketball game can get...that is what everybody wanted all the years...and now the feature is available and you guys are weeping all the time...man...be satisfied with what you got...stop weeping...

Re: Ask the devs a question

chill.....didnt mean to sound like a weeper...ahahh..while i can completely agree with this feature for something like season or dynasty mode i just think there should be some sort of option for the exhibition mode or PLAY NOW part of the game...maybe im a jazz fan who for some strange reason would like to have Boozer in the lineup when i play an exhibiton match vs a friend...dont get me wrong the 365 thing is a cool feature but it is a bit rediculous that just because IN REAL LIFE half of the clippers lineup is injured that im forced to play without the starters in a quick play match!

[KG#5beantown]

Re: Ask the devs a question

ok sorry man I didn't wanne sound that angry...but some guys in this forum don't understand the 365-feature...but I see you do...

yeah you are right there should be an option...

on the other hand you have the rewind games...you can choose one in witch booz is in the rotation...but that is just a little solution...

you're right there really should be an option...but I also have to say that I like it as it is...but I'm just one of thousends...

I feel your pain. It's a game. You should be able to use palyers for at least some game modes. Rewind doesn't work often enough so it don't count.
It's a game "made fresh daily".
