    Ask the devs a question

    Im experimenting to try to help the devs with our questions, but before I go any further, remember that there is no guarantee to get an answer... they are working on a new game afterall

    Alright here's the rundown

    This forum lately has been all over the place with questions for stephensonmc on various subjects about the game, bugs, server issues, rewind, etc...


    Im putting this thread here so that in the least, he can see everything in one spot, and hopefully we can eliminate some of the redundant threads and questions that we could probably give tips for.

    What I mean by that is, if its something you with the game might be able to answer then by all means do it.

    That said, I'll lock any redundant threads guys so dont be offended because its nothing personal, just put it in here.

    Re: Ask the devs a question

    What's the estimated release time of the patch?

    When will a Dev. be able to let us know what gameplay improvements will be addressed with the update?

      Will the defensive matchups be patched so you can put your best defenders on certain players that you want them to guard?

      Will the patch also include stopping the automatic inbound pass online, along with players not going back on defense after a made basket until the opposing team touches the ball.

      Also included in the patch, lowering the field goal% online? Appreciate the efforts.

        Is there any fatigue online ??? It seems to me like there is no fatigue what so ever and the starters just play the entire game.

          Re: Ask the devs a question

          I posted this in another thread but I'll post it here again:

          I noticed a bug in online ranked games. When you do a rematch with someone and they quit in the middle of the second game, the game doesn't get recorded. I bring this up because people have done this twice to me now so I'm missing 2 wins. No biggie but in the future I won't do rematches with people since it's only wasting my time.

          Is it possible to get this fixed?

          Thanks.

            Re: Ask the devs a question

            1) What is the definition of the "Sink or Swim" slider?

            2) Does the "Shot Alter Ability" slider mean that the defense can alter the offensive player's shot......OR does it mean that the offensive player can alter his own shot and make a higher % of contested shots?

            3) The cpu NEVER takes timeouts during the game unless the other team goes on 10-0 runs and when ball game in close late in the 4th quarter. Can this be fixed/patched?

            4) Is "fatigue" broken? Playing 4 min quarters w/ fatigue slider maxed to 100.....the starters will still play almost the entire game.

            5) The "Sprite Highlight Reel" is not working on the PS3 system (shows nothing) and the replay feature is laggy/choppy as well. Is there plans to correct those 2 issues?

            6) Free-Throw shooting is way too easy in Live 09 (even with Shaq, I can time it to make about 90% of his shots). Is there a way to increase the difficulty on FTs (via patch maybe)?

            7) Sometimes when the cpu scores a basket and my team's player grabs the ball to inbound it.....he is whistled for stepping out-of-bounds (which is clearly a bug). I notice this about once a game. Are you guys aware of this?

            8) Many times, players (me or cpu) will shoot the ball and the opposition will jump up and grab the ball right before it reaches the rim (clear goaltending violation) or if it touches the rim....they grab it OFF the rim (another goaltending violation).

            This happens a few times per game, every game, and this really needs to be fixed because it's not real-life NBA basketball. Are you guys aware of this and canm you please PATCH it up?

                  Re: Ask the devs a question

                  I disagree that teams dont call timeouts unless its the 4th qtr.

                  I've seen plenty of times where they got smashed 10-2 in the 1st qtr and called a time. It happens with me , im not not sure why you arent seeing any.

                  BTW, this isnt a glitches or bugs thread, this is a question thread.

                  Steph is trying to sort through all of that with this thread so ill be editing any posts like that one above from now on.

                    guys, I see the questions. I'm pretty busy today so it might take a minute to get to these.

                    Just wanted to let you guys know. Thanks for setting this up KDRE.

                      Re: Ask the devs a question

                      1- how can i see my players fatigue level in game (without puasing and going through menus)?

                      2- can timeouts be patched? they are terrible this year. My coach NEVER called one yet.

                      3- can free throws be fixed? I've missed two in 9 games.

                      4- Will Allan Houston who was released today by NY, be a free agent still in the game?

                      5- Will Jerome 'Burger King' James be given his true to life abilities this year? Meaning running like a sloth? He spins and moves in the paint like Timberlake in a blender.


                      thanks crew.

                        Re: Ask the devs a question

                        I have afew questions etc and can u tell me when these updates will become avaliable because i'm not sure how it all works.

                        I have a few problems with the rebounding player jumping the opposite way to the shooters for no reason, i feel would someone really jump away from the ball handler can this be fixed in any way ? even stood still then jumping doesnt jump straight up.

                        Why is jason kidd playing for the All star east ?

                        When you win a league match online against another player why doesnt it got get recorded on your record ?

                        Players ghosting straight through other players on defence,

                        After stealing the ball the players dont seem to try to get the ball they've won,

                        Players taking too long to get back on D after scoring

                        Can you tell me if there will be a list of the things that actualy get fixed (patched) and maybe a update at some point on what your actualy looking to fix or maybe just considering ?

                        thanks for any help with the questions

                          You're repeating what I said. I stated that teams will call timeouts ONLY when the opposition goes on huge scoring runs or late in the 4th quarter.

                          Other than those 2 scenarios, a timeout will NEVER be called in the game.

                          BTW, this isnt a glitches or bugs thread, this is a question thread.
                          Unless I'm missing something here, I thought I put everything in form of a QUESTION.

                          Some of these bigs/glitches have to be brought up because (a) it's affecting gameplay and (b) they should not be in the final-retail version of the game anyways.

                          I expect these in the "beta" version of Live 09.....not one where I paid $65.00 for. We, the customers, deserve to voice our concerns and seek answers to our questions.

                          EA is trying really hard by reaching out to it's fanbase and getting useful feedback to help improve their product. This is part of the process.

                          I purchased Live 06, regretfully purchased Live 07 and even stuck with them w/ Live 08 and now w/ Live 09. I don't think I'm asking too much of them to explain and correct a FEW major annoyances.
