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

Yeah I think Live 05 may have. I was trying to remember if Live did have that which I was sure I had seen before.

I haven't actually got to try out 2k9's system for alley oops. I never figured out the controls for an alley pass the 2-3 times i've played 2k9.

Re: Ask the devs a question

actually, I believe it was 03 and 04, and when you direct passed to them it automatically did an alley iirc

Re: Ask the devs a question

I was just reading some of the info about Madden 10 and noticed that they have included the Superbowl patches to uniforms does that mean we can expect NBA finals patches on team uniforms?

There is also the mention of:The entire referee crew will now also be on the field. Now, while they do not have collision detection, you will still see them getting run over. Again is there something similar for for NBA Live with accidental bumps or players discussing contact after foul call and such?

Will there be a similar feature to the Pro-tak system Madden is using which appears to give users greater control of switching from 1 player to another on offense and defense. Again is there something similar developed for NBA Live which will help users for help D situations or maybe help improve fast break scenarios?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Will we see Playoff atmosphere and Playoff paint on the courts. I was very disapointed this was not in 09.

which may be the incentive for the NBA to get rid of them. I know for a fact I wouldn't to have my sport portrayed where you can beat a guy up, press x button and a gun come out , shoot dude to death and never get ejected. If they had ejections maybe the NBA wouldn't have mind so much.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Steph or Mike I felt that when having post up battles in the key where you've managed to get the defending big guy out of your way or they are on the ground, your player seemed to stiil be stuck in the 1 spot at times and it wasn't easy to get closer to the basket or even doing a dunk/layup based shot it still lead to a little hook shot or jumper. Have you found this to be the case and is it being addressed in anyway or is there a more effective way to counter this for Live 09?

regarding flagrant fouls I don't want to have a flagrant foul button, but i want like wear if you hit turbo and y than you have a chance of putting a flagrant foul on your opponent. Y could be like an aggressive block. 2k9 has turbo as an agressive block and they have the animation but no flagrant gets called. It wouldn't have to happen every game just occationaly.

We've made significant changes to the post game as well as shots around the hoop for Live 10... so it shouldn't be an issue going forward. As for 09, probably the best way to prevent your guy from taking a "weak" shot when he beats his post defender is to try and get some forward momentum to the hoop before attempting a layup/dunk. That might help shot selection a bit.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Yeah thats what I attempt and on a few occasions he is just stuck in that spot even though no one is infront of him. Its just a small thing but i'd thought i'll ask about it. Thanks for your help Mike.

Re: Ask the devs a question

What about passing guys? Will we get more variety and control - chest, overhead, bounce passes?

What about fastbreak passing - I mean quick, crisp passes on the break- how is it improved?

Cheers

yes, but Mike will talk to you about that stuff at a later date.
