Re: Ask the devs a question

Again with the madden thing i know BUT.. this is what NBA Live players want to.... AUTHENTICITY and EMOTION..

(source www.pastapadre.com)
Unprecedented Authenticity – Referees peeling players off a fumble pile, the chain gang rushing in to measure for a key first down, and all-new player equipment ensure that if you see it on Sunday, you’ll see it in Madden NFL 10

The Emotion of the NFL – New TV broadcast-style presentation and cinematic cameras bring the suspense and intensity of the NFL to your living room.


so my question is: What atmosphere improvements can we look for in live 10? players interacting with there surroundings or anything similar?

Will You guys have the legends back this year? I was playing Live 2000 earlier and it got me thinking. Remember the only way to unlock Jordan was to beat him in one on one? You guys should bring that back. All the legends including The G.O.A.T( Michael Jordan)

Re: Ask the devs a question

Do you (the developers) look at NBA Live and think that this is what basketball should look like? Do you question player movements, ball/rim/net physics like I do?

Without these fundamental aspects of the game looking realistic, the game will never be mistaken for a real NBA game.

Re: Ask the devs a question

How are things looking in the animation department as far as the crowd. The framerate was not good in 09', and the crowd looked kinda stale, looking more like cut-out box figures. I know you guys have added tons of animations and said the framerate would improve. I hope new animations also apply to the crowd, benches, coaches, hell it would even be cool if you added a towel boy to give the player towels when they sit down. Are you guys being creative this year as far as getting stuff we havent seen before in Live?

I think seeing fans get up and out of their seats more (maybe more standing ovations when the team is playing BIG in a BIG game), having them do different things and not looking repetitve(how about rally towels). It would just be awesome if there was a bunch of different things that happen in real bball games that show up in this years Live. It would be cool to play this game a couple months down the road and still be seeing stuff ive never seen b4.

Also you guys never answered my question on this, are you gonna put the PLAYOFF mode back in the game? I hate having to simulate a season to get to the playoffs. Or maybe a Online Playoff mode would be nice too.

Re: Ask the devs a question

I'm pretty sure this was already asked, but the search came up with nada.


Are we going to get putback slams/tip ins back in the game in 10?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Will there be things such as flagrant fouls, technical fouls or players jawing at each other? and most importantly a halftime show with commentators breaking down the game like TNT?

The NBA doesn't allow flagrant fouls in the game. Or should I say animations that would depict flagrant fouls. There are technical fouls in the game I'm sure (3 seconds) but not the techs you're looking for lol. 2K has some jawing but I don't know what they have here. I thought I saw some smack talk between players but nothing will ever result in foul which kills alot of realism and even game planning in any game. If I know Artest is a hot head i want to attack him and do some things to him to hopefully make him trigger a dumb reaction. But alas it's a no go.


Hey EA couldn't you guys use team specific "wipes" and presentation for the game. Instead of this generic Live broadcast have presentation exactly like the team's specific channel (which I'm sure all teams now have thier own channel)

Re: Ask the devs a question

Didn't NBA Inside drive series have flagrant as well as ejections(If I remember you got ejected by fouling the ref)

[Nephilim]

Re: Ask the devs a question

I'm sure at least one PC nba live from some years ago had flagrant fouls. I think foul was assigned to Q button and if you timed it right, you were able to catch player in midair and level him into the ground and you got thrown out.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Are you guys planning to show something at the E3 this year?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Will players like Tyson Chandler and other players who feed off alleyoops, will they themselves signal if they are wanting an alleyoop instead of it just being lobbed up and hopes that player to recieve pass is in position or ready for it.

Also will there be animations of players cutting towards the basket for an alleyoop instead of the players being more flat footed in some cases. Along with sf or sg cutting from 3pt line along the baseline to get an alleyoop pass.

here are some video examples

I would also like to see some of wades style dunks where he switches it up a bit like the dunk he did the otherday against the bulls as example he went up did like a mini pump fake and still was able to throw it down.
