Re: Same Question

I don't want to go into details quite yet but I just wanted to assure you guys that defense was a big focus this year. I agree 100% with Sovartus that basketball games are too often skewed toward making offense fun and ignoring defense. And we wanted to make sure that Live 10 was fun on both ends of the floor. It's quite challenging to strike a balance between a game that allows for free flowing high scoring games, while still allowing for those 30% FG shooting grind it out battles... but I'm confident that fans of both types of basketball will be able to replicate their style of play this year.

Re: Ask the devs a question

I'm really looking forward to this game, Beluba. I'm glad you guys aren't giving the defensive side the short stick, since it's one of my favorite aspects of basketball. I've been playing 2K the last couple of years, and I might switch back to Live this year. I really hated the lock on defense 2K had, since I wanted to control it rather than having the AI do it.

Another thing I hope you guys work on is creating an authentic atmosphere. From the crowd noise, PA announcer, to the commentary, I want to feel like I'm watching a live game. It's especially important in close-game situations, where the crowd reaction and commentary responding to the action is just awesome if done right. I always wanted to see players celebrate after a game winning shot instead of just walking off the court as if they lost.

Will you guys also have user profiles that keep track of statistics such as wins, losses, PPG, etc? I love using these as bragging rights against my friends, especially win streaks. :wink:

Re: Ask the devs a question

Steph or Beluba, is there any possible for the club matches in Live10, if we can choose what club we would wanna go against instead of doing the find quick match thing??

Re: Ask the devs a question

Re: Ask the devs a question

Beluba,

Are you guys implementing the secondary positions into how substitutions are made this year?

CPU controlled Rotations were horrible in Live 09...and in addition to that, players never spent any time at their secondary positions.

Some examples of how it should be:

-Gasol playing some Center
-Lebron playing some PF
-Paul Peirce playing some SG
-Dwade playing a little PG
-Brandon Roy playing some PG
-Michael Peitrus playing SG/SF

I hope you guys spent a TON of time overhauling how rotations will be handled this year. Have players spend time at their secondary positions during the course of games in Live 10.

I'm playing alot of play now games of Live 09 lately and I'm seeing the AI sub strictly by primary postions. And this results in players that typically do not get any playing time IRL, getting playing time in Live.

In the future, users need COMPLETE control over all lineups and MPG IMO.

And Steph,

Are you guys reworking player accessories? Specificly the calf sleeves and all of the knee sleeves and pads.

The gear for the legs of Live player models have been kinda off for a while now.

Co-sign here. Accesories need an upgrade.

My biggest gripe is rotations.. i did a rematch of the NBA finals Gm1 and Adam Morrison played more minutes then anyone else from the bench,the dude doesn't even suit up!!

Yeah i agree accessories need some work. Things like socks, calf sleeves and arm sleeves should be slimmed down, the way they are now they are way too bulky. Any chance this will be addressed in Live 10?

The substitution logic was re-written this year, and yes, it takes secondary position into consideration when selecting rotations. It's behaving much better overall and the minute management looks more realistic.

Re: Ask the devs a question

beluba when are we gonna get some pictures of the new player models. This is the first thing i want to see

Re: Ask the devs a question

Beluba, can you confirm if there will be mid-air shot changes this year?

I'm OK with a Y or N

Re: Ask the devs a question

I got 2 question for y'all...

Question #1: I don't know if this has been asked but for Live10, are you guys going to implement some kind of early offense system to help fast breaks? because I always want to slam my head against the wall every time a big man or any wing player has a reached the basket before the defense, the point guard, in some situations, doesn't pass him the ball to get a quick FB point. Instead they set up a play, so I don't know what you guys are going to do about that.

Question #2: rotations for live09 are horrible, I was wondering if you guys are going to put in a minute system, you know 240 minutes for 12 active players. Something like or exactly what 2k have in their game in the past few years. I don't care if it's copying an idea, It makes sense to be into a basketball game instead of subbing primary positions. most teams barely play 10 players in a game so no lame percentages like in live07 or live08. MINUTES!

Re: Ask the devs a question

Hey Steph or Beluba, did you guys put in every teams thunder sticks for the free throw line?? Please answer. Also, watching this Magic vs. L.A. game 3, i think i notice that Magics thunder sticks are lite up at the top ( if not mistaking). Did u guys incorporate that?
