Re: Damn this game is good.

i agree the game is good.there are things that irk the crap outta me,like all the contested shots the cpu hits with ease and the ineffective double team,but Live is a good game.

I also have both games,and i like both games. both have flaws,but the best part of it??? WE HAVE CHOICE!!! WHOO HOO!

Re: Damn this game is good.

IVe only played 2 online games. I have been wrapped up in play now and dynasty games.

I love the game. I really have no desire to buy 2k. I just dont see a reason to do it. Havent said that in years.

Re: Damn this game is good.

The more I put the game down, the more I still want to play... just to see what I can do the next time.

I kept losing one night and couldn't put down the controller until I fixed my mistakes. Haven't had that happen for awhile.

Go and use the Celtics...back down Leon Powe and watch how many times he gets doubled. It's ridiculous. The CPU will double any big.

They come with help side D or a double on Powe and leave Pierce and Allen unguarded...

That's crazy.

How deep are you when you get doubled ? or are you saying they double leon on the catch at normal post position ?

Re: Damn this game is good.

Add me to the mix, I'm loving this game more then I ever thought I would, they game just feels like basketball. yeah it's not perfect, but it comes through for a serious BB game fix. At first I kinda Downplayed the graphics, but man as I play I see what Pared was talking about when you said the game looks nice. The court spacing and the actual size of the court is extremely accurate bar none. I owned 2k and got rid of it in favor of LIVE this year and never looked back , and thats the first time ever doing that.

Re: Damn this game is good.

FF, you forgot to add the annual "and im a 2k guy" in your post.

For real though it is a fun game, flaws and all and we know it'll get better.

As Czar said, its fun for what it is, a foundation game, as I liken to what 2k6 was.

wow,

calm down kimosabi.

How do you know how much I have played Live? I have played it every day since it came out.

All i said was i haven't seen that particular issue, I didn't tear you a new one for having that opinion.

I tore 2k9 apart in the issues it had.. This game is better to ME because it has a more realistic NBA feel to ME. i like the momentum,the sense of weight to players, the dribbling mechanic, the DNA, etc etc.

Sometimes on the catch...

Others when you back in...

But if Leon Powe is being guarded by Tim Duncan...there's no way in hell he needs a double at any point. Especially if they rotate off Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

If you're not seeing this Czar...which sliders are you using?

To the guys above: you can search this LIVE forum and find a whole host of positive posts I've made / even started threads about how much fun D is.

I LOVE many aspects of this game.

Rawdogs...will try the increased speed. Maybe that is it?

Some guys see no fast breaks / others claim they get some...maybe it's the speed slider?

I had it at 42...if you're seeing them at 50, i'll try it. Cheers mate

I am never not calm...trust me

If you've never noticed a scrub PF getting doubled then I am surprised.

You mentioned you'd be playing 2K9 non stop in your other post and that you'd switched to LIVE recently...thus my presumption mate.

I don't care which game you like most...I buy both every season and couldn't care less which does better / which people like more.

There are some big flaws here though and I'm almost positive you'll be posting about them after more play...

vision make sure you put that fast break stuff in the wishllist thread and get specific about what you have seen man....

Re: Damn this game is good.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but, the battles for rebounds and boxing out is done real nice. You actually see them fighting to get position and theres a good amount of animations of them. Good job on that, continue to add on to this aspect of the game.

Just got finished playing a game online. It's funny to me because people are trying to take there star player and just run all over the court trying to get dunks. It just isn't that simple in this game. The double team is so effective but you have to call it at the right time. Force them to HAVE TO PASS it to someone else. And if you get there supporting cast out of there comfort spots, it's even more difficult for them to score. DNA Baby!!!!!

B and Steph hopefully in that patch you make fatigue even more of a factor to the game. If it forces people to have to bring in subs, the strategy of the game can become so strategic and competitive it's unbelieveable. I know it's kinda hard for online games because there only 5 min quarters. But I believe it can be up just a bit to force a couple of adjustments.

I know some people have mentioned that players don't seem to play or be any different from the next, no sig styles. But I see them. I tend to see a ton more animations playing another user as oppose to the CPU which is not so bad because playing against the CPU it'll be an extended amount of time before you see all the animation. I wish you could do highlights for online games though. Try playing with Detroit. Do a couple drives for layups with Prince, you'll see he stays long in his lay ups with his arm extended all the way up (A la the dunk in the champion trailer), although I haven't seen that particular dunk from him in the game yet, I believe it's in there.

Amazing game EA!!!

Re: Damn this game is good.

The fast break logic is the only glaring thing I see that is inherentley "broken"..the fast break seems to be run in reverse: The PF and Center release and fill lanes, the small forward and guards trail.

In reality, it should be the other way around.

As far as the stiff post player being doubled. I havent seen it yet. I have yet to see David Lee get a double slapped on him in the blocks.

I HAVE seen the CPU double off of him, to double Curry or Randolph, as opposed to leavbing a guy like Jamal Crawford constantly wide open, and I have also noticed that different teams and players close out fasterthen others, which I like to see.

I saw something in my dynasty mode game agianst the Grizzlies that made me quite happy. The CPU actually switched up defenses and went to a zone for a stretch. Took me totally off guard. I tunred the ball over 3 consecutive times.

I also like how my own defensive adjustments seem to actually matter.

I was playing the Oklahoma City Kevin Durant's. I slapped a double team on Durant from the very begining and played a healthy dose of 2-3 zone. I held him to 10 pts, and allowed everyone else to do whatever the hell they wanted.

I held Durant to 10 pts and won by 8.

Damn this game is good.
