Re: Ask the devs a question

as long as it isn't like 06 where you could push the defender who had position out of the way you dont need to have over the back fouls

Re: Ask the devs a question

We tried over the back fouls but most people found them frustrating because they couldn't discern what they were doing wrong to get them. So we disabled them. We do have some off the ball fouls but they are tuned to be quite low... again, because they seem random to most people.

And yes, the AI will throw oops this year. A last minute change went in last year to reduce them because they were happening too much... that change basically caused the AI to never throw them at all.

You should have over the back. If I'm boxing out my opponent with L2 trigger and he jumps for the ball that's over the back unless your game has two styles of jumping

Forward - where you leap for the ball

Or straight up - where high verticals and timing determine how out get the ball


Vertical jumps aren't over the back fouls of course

Re: Ask the devs a question

Thirded. It's understandable if you guys couldn't get it working decently and end up scrapping it, but if the mechanic is working (even if it seems random to the end user), please give us the option to have it on while leaving it off at default and for ranked online play. Most people get mad when they get a reaching foul every time they go for a steal too, but that's realistic basketball and I hope we have the option to play as realistically as possible, including all violations/fouls turned on. If not online in a custom match settings area, at least offline...

2K9 has over the back fouls.. they don't always work right due to collision problems, etc., but I'd rather have them in the game than not. If you're out of position and not boxing out and are jumping like crazy for boards, you should have to pay for that.

You're right about reaching in fouls being more random.

They should have a counter system where if you guess the move of the offensive player you can pick their pocket like in real life

They were right, the competition did have it too

Do referees check replays after shots at the buzzer? I remember Live 04 had this and it was really cool.

They do that in 09, but only at the end of the game.

Nice, hopefully they add it to the end of every quarter. Did Live 09 still have that feature where you hold a button and the players hot spots light up the court? I thought that looked pretty ridiculous with the court showing up red and blue.

Yeah!! They still had it, but I am not sure how to activate it.

Yes but it is much more visually appealing than 08. Instead of full colors, it sort of outlines the hotzones so you can still somewhat see the court.

On the 360 (not sure about the PS3, probably the same thing) click and hold the left thumbstick. Below the player it also shows his tendency to shoot, drive left or drive right. And you can also do this when the computer has possession of the ball.

i prefered having just the outlines, i know who likes what spot on the floor

Re: Ask the devs a question

@callmeking,

I thinknwe need to drop the whole presentation matters argument already. Last night I brought my ps3 into the office for some after hours NBA gaming. My coworkers weren't gamers and some not NBA fans. I noticed they were always skipping presentation featurettes and wanting to get straight to playing. What I noticed most were the "that shouldn't happen" and "that doesn't happen" moments about the gameplay. And I realized the less you hear of that the better the game is. And so presentationnis something nobody ever commented on because in reality sports games are about action and less about fluff. NBA live is finally getting that while 2k is just adding fluff while their gameplay is stagnating.

When you want to play with a friend, who cares about watching the presentation? But usually people like to do dynasty's and stuff with the cpu. Thats when I care about it.

I'm the same outlines are fine.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Just get Carmelo right. He was doing this Kobe "scowl" before Kobe. And after he dunks the ball, he always does a fist pump, in a punching motion. Nothing like Kobe. And make sure that when he hits a 3, especially on the road, he runs back, turns towards the camera, and holds up 3 fings. Thats why cutscenes will be nice in this game, just to catch all this type of stuff. **** real time stuff, like 2k. I liked Live because it was different, please leave cutscenes in.

Re: Ask the devs a question

I just want them to bring back the cutscenes from 04 like when you trade a player you see him walking in the locker room. When your player wins an award he goes up and receives it. And throw in a weekly show like ESPN NBA Basketball had back in 2004.

Re: Ask the devs a question

I just want to know if Live 10 will have enough CAP slots that we can create classic teams...well if the graphics and cutomization allows us to create players with true to life tendencies
