Re: Ask the devs a question

What's you guys plan in regards to getting the blogs for Live10 going?

I really like what the Madden team is doing in regards to getting 'early' but important, non- back of the box stuff out via their weekly blog.

I know you guys have direct competition and may have to keep your progress/plans a little more under wraps.

I was just curious how soon before you guys get your blogs rolling.

Should we expect something before E3/June?

thanks

Yeah, that is tough to say. The competition with 2K makes early info pretty dangerous if we announce something with time left for development. It will be for our PR department to decide.

Yeah, i kinda figured that and i understand your point. I just thought i would ask.

Can't wait to see what you guys were able to improve.

Live10 is my most anticipated game for this year.

thanks for the response

Re: Ask the devs a question

Hey Guys,

I am really looking forward to Live 10.. After a couple of years of 2K, this was the year I made the switch back to the Live Series.. It looks like 10 could be it..

One thing I am curious about, are you guys able to adress the rim/net physics as well as the ball physics in and around the rim? It's something which would make the game look much more realistic..

Absolutely. It's looking much better right now during development actually. More to do, but I'm pretty happy so far.

Very true, the net-animations and ball-physics in the Live franchise make this game look awful and not like real basketball...also, are you going to fix the lanky long arms of the players? The ball doesn't even look like it bounces out of their hand because their arms reach the floor....

Re: Ask the devs a question

my friends and I have a online league going. The team we pick roster are only 10 deep with key player not making the cut. Is there any way the online league can have the full roster from the current 365 updated roster. Example sum1 pick the Heat. Shawn Marion is still on the Heat. Another pick the Magic and there are pg and sg that makes up the bench, no Tony Battie or Gostat. Przybrilla is not on the 10 man roster for Portland. I can go on with every team, but I won't. Can you guys fix the 10 man roster in online league?

Re: Ask the devs a question

I like what I'm hearing about live and I hope you guys can get it right this time. I used to love live back in the old days, but have been playing 2k because of the gameplay for live. I'm hoping you guys can add more presentaion style this year. You guys have the ESPN liscense so i would like to see it incorporated in the game more. I do like the commentary of marv and Kerr (even though kerr is a GM now). Are you guys gonna expand on the arena music? I notice how u incorporate it in your game but I still think it needs to be more specific. For example if Im playing as the Bulls I shouldnt be hearing the arena music i would hear in LA or the defense music i would hear in Cleveland. I kno this is small but I think it would make it better and more authentic if every arena had there own specific sounds. 2k does this somewhat with their PA announcers, but they dont have they authentic arena sounds. If I'm playing in the Garden I should hear the Organ playing and their Bass drums from defense. If you guys are gonna make the game authentic then make sure thats in the game, cus i can see you guys put it in 09' you just didnt specify it and its kinda annoying. Also are you guys gonna fix the crowd cus the frame-rate kills the atmosphere of the crowd. Thanks

Re: Ask the devs a question

Also can you guys put "Playoffs" mode back in the game (like in Live 06') I liked that we could set up our own brackets and put our teams in where we liked. This is mainly for Offline play When I have a house full of people that play live. We used to do tournaments and set up the brackets. We could put teams on the West or the East didnt matter what conference the teams were in. I hate that Live took this mode out of there games. 2k has it but they only let you pick the teams based upon their conference. And also one more thing....Ive simulated up to the finals in Live 09' and you guys still have not put the Trophy logo on the court. The nba has had that logo since the 05' finals....its time to put it in the game because 2k's had this in their game for the last couple titles. I know this is nit picky but I am in to the smallest details, thanks for listening

Re: Ask the devs a question

Why does the cpu resign your free agent and franchise mode?

Like for instance, I sim a franchise with the Knicks, and I resign Lee and Robinson, and somehow I ended up with Wilcox back on my roster, when I didn't even resign him. Is there a way that I can fix this problem?

Also, David Lee is left-handed. Can you guys fix that. I think T.J. Ford is too.

Any chance of importing draft classes coming back to this series?

That would be nice or allow us to edit draft classes like NBA 2K9. Thanks!

Re: Ask the devs a question

Beluba, is there any chance you guys could update the team's playcalling/playsets in the future with DNA?

Right now I'm playing play now games with DNA 365 and the halfcourt sets the CPU team's run are VERY repetitive and redundant at times.

It would be nice if the 'type' of playsets/formations change along with DNA updates also in the future.

I'm growing a little concerned about how scripted the team's halfcourt formations and playcalling are in 09.

Something like a limited amount of offensive formations and lack of variety in the CPU's playcalling, could potentially ruin season mode in Live 10.

Hopefully, you guys already have this on your radar.
