Re: Ask the devs a question

There seems to be some confusion about what Lockdown Defense was. The actual feature was that as an onball defender, you could walk up to the ballhandler and engage in a postup-like animation. From there, the ball handler could retreat or attempt to drive around you. That feature was removed because it broke game flow and wasn't any fun.

Defensive Assist is the feature where you hold down a button and let the AI control your player for you. That feature still exists, but as I mentioned before, has been scaled back in its effectiveness. In short, if you don't manually D up your guy this year, you'll be at a disadvantage. So in essence, it's most useful when you're just trying to get your bearings and find your check (especially useful in online team play) or you need to cruise control for a bit to reach over and eat some chips.

Will there be a greater chance to knock down across the court passes and strip the ball as a user since gameplay has eased up?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Hey Beluba, jus wondering have you guys changed some of the basic sounds we hear in Live. Ex the way the ball sounds when it hits the rim when they miss, the sound of a blocked shot. Also I think alot of people want to know if that ancient PA announcer is still in this game?

Re: Ask the devs a question

We know the rim sound is different confirmed by EA's sound engineer dev Ml9

But is there a manual way to get into defensive position then with arms extended? It's so easy to get passed defenders that aren't locked onto you. I want a way to shift left and right and back and in defensive man up position so I can guess where my guy will go and get rewarded.

I do that in real life and get alot of steals

Will there be a multiplayer Franchise mode similar to 2K's multiplayer Association?

Re: Ask the devs a question

In nba live 10 What mode should you play in to get the most realistic game possible?

In nba live 09 you can play in any mode and blow every team out and it gets boring doing that, I would like a close game once in awhile.

I already asked Beluba this and he said this year's difficulties should be harder.
