Re: Ask the devs a question

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.

But are we able to set the rotations ourselves???

Re: Ask the devs a question

Any chance we'll get some situation-specific songs/sounds from the PA system like real life?

Like for jump balls, they play "Jump" by Kris Kross, "Pass the Courvoisier, Part II" by Busta Rhymes, "Jumpin Out The Window" by Ron Browz

When a player travels on the away team, the PA announcer will say "Too many steps" and they might add that cartoon running sound effect

Etc

Re: Ask the devs a question

I have a question about the CURRENT Live 09 (which I HOPE does NOT happen in Live 10.)

There is a problem where you cannot connect to your friends for online play. When you challenge them, the host can scroll through teams, but the other player cannot and it seems to freeze. I have encountered a few players who this is happening to.

Is there a fix to this and are things being implemented to prevent things like this from happening in NBA Live 10? Most of my love of BBall games comes from online play...but if I cannot play any of the persons on my friends list....then thats a problem.

Thanks.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Hi Steph or Beluba,

Could you please give some insight on the vertical leap rating for Live 2010?

I've been a 2K player for a quite a few years now but one of the things that really irritated me about the 2K series even 2K9 is that all players no matter what their vertical leap rating is will elevate just as high on rebounds, blocks, and shots. You get these odd animations where a player like Yao Ming will be what appears to be 3 feet off the ground. Will we see more differentiation between the athletes in regards to leaping ability for shots, blocks, rebounds, etc in Live 10? Thanks

Re: Ask the devs a question

So I log in yesterday, trying to play a game, Magic vs LA, in LA. And I try to find a rewind game from the playoff's.......last game I can find is from December 2008.

What's the deal with not having REWIND GAMES the day after the game is played in the playoff's/finals?

We are no on game 4 of the finals, and none are found on the rewind games.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Have online free throws been fixed? After the patch it was too easy to make free throws that took away late game strategies. Also has the big man beating everybody down court after made basket been fixed? Thanks

Re: Ask the devs a question

I just like the little updates by the game developers that the only reason why I use it. I was hoping you had one the most. You can just drop in and type a sentence or so to let us know what gameplay feature you're tweaking or adding.

LOL. You ain't the only one

And can you guys spill anything about the pre-game? Will it be improved? Player-specific pre-game rituals maybe?

I have asked about pregame intros and rituals but I can't get an answer.

I've got a question that I'd REALLY like answered if anyone can:

Will we see blocks like these in Live 10?

They were basically nonexistant in 09

Thanks Beluba.

What about timeout logic? I REALLY hated how the AI would kinda stash all of it's timeouts for the 4th qtr. in Live09.

In Live09 the CPU only called timeouts in qtrs. 1-3, if the user was making a substantial run. The AI should also utilize it's timeouts 'throughout' the game to regain player energy and to change tempo + strategic purposes.

And also, it would be neat if the AI would 'always' use it's 20 second timeouts sometime during the 1st half becuase, those cannot be carried over to the 2nd half.

So, in some instances where the AI gains final possession late in the 1st half the CPU should use that 1-20 sec. timeout to set up a good in-bounds play or halfcourt set.

We see coaches do this IRL all the time.

Are you guys re-doing how the AI handles it's timeouts for Live 10, that will incorporate strategic to's, change of tempo to's, substitution to's, along with to's to help regain energy?
