Re: Ask the devs a question

I have a request for the devs...
Unfortunately NTSC files are not valid on PAL games....
in 2K9 you can dowload NTSC rosters/sliders from 2Kshare and they are valid for PAL

do you think it will be possible to have something similar ???

thank you from a PAL hoop fan

Re: Ask the devs a question

I want to know if the jersey creator is going to finally make it into the game?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Beluba if a play isn't run, the default offensive setup for the user controlled team has been the same in this series FOREVER it seems. No matter what team you control.

For example:

You advance the ball across half court. The location of your teammates is always as follows:

PG - top of the circle
SG - in the corner
SF - on the wing
PF - low block
C- low block

The default location of your teammates NEVER changes no matter what their skill set is UNLESS....the user manually calls a play.

The team I use is the Wizards.

Jamison is a perimeter player IRL but, he never sets up on the outside by default if he is playing PF in LIVE. He runs right down to the low block every possession like he's Shaq.

If I decide to use the Spurs, Bonner (another perimeter player) always sets up EVERY possession down low also, which shouldn't be the case.

I LOVE the playcalling feature however, I'm hoping the Synergy technology can represent where players spend most of their time on the court better by default.

Then it wouldn't be necessary to run a set play everytime down court, in order to get guys to set up in varying locations on the floor.

Again, this is only a issue for the user controlled team.

Will this be different in Live 10? Will we see guys like Bonner and Jamison set up outside the 3pt arc more often by default just like IRL this year?

We are re-writing a very large chunk of the offensive strategy & logic with respect to the 3 out 2 in formation that you're describing. I can safely say that the user's offense is going to look very different from what you've seen in the past and should more accurately reflect each team's real life playing style. And yes, we'll be feeding Synergy data into this system as well.

Beluba,
I want to know if the jersey creator is going to finally make it into the game? I also want to know did you guys add height so I can make Manute Bol and other 7 footers.

Much appreciated Mike.

Thanks for the response.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Beluba, are you guys looking into adding more alley opp scenarios and animations for Live 10?

I play against the AI alot and the cpu rarely even attempts oops.

Re: Ask the devs a question

hey guys, some of our producers are away at ASW in Phoenix so they may be a slow to answer.

Just a FYI

yeah i was gonna say that to the cpu doesn't really do any, imo i think the alley hoop animations in 09 are pretty well done there not really over the board.

Re: Ask the devs a question

1.Once the All star game is played will the DNA reflect what happened in the game or will it stay generic?

2. How about making last years all star game a playable rewind game? If it can't be done this year how about next year?

thanks

Great post from edubbs and that's good to hear that you're addressing it

Re: Ask the devs a question

I really need someone to answer a small question for me. It might sound dumb but when you press B to shoot, when do you release it? I have gotten a ton of different answers and I just want it to be clear. Thanks

Re: Ask the devs a question

Any chance we get refs on the court in real time this year?

Not a huge deal but, I'm just curious. Looks kinda odd without them out there at times.

Not sure what you're talking about edubbs. The refs are on the court the entire game....

You're right Steph, my bad....
