Physics during Academy definitely appear to be better then in game, I know there's a thread about that but i noticed ti too.

What thread was this? I've said this in my "perfect shot" thread but I'm curious to read where a thread was dedicated to this topic.

I just noticed it while I was playing around in practice mode, and apparently others have as well, including you. Hopefully something that can be fixed via patch or ironed out for next year.

Next year is going to be the year Live takes over...

They have so much potential in their game... but I dunno, it's not there yet. still, it's fun.

I'm getting doubled automatically...even Josh Boone gets doubled.

I'm also seeing basically zero fast breaks apart from off steals...

I've been using Tomba's sliders and PM's sliders...see these problems with both.

I don't know why I am finding this and you guys aren't?

Can someone post a vid showing your PF not getting doubled for a few plays in a row?

i rented it and agree with you 100%

according to playmakers the game needs major edits for all players just like it did with some of the previous versions of live before this year. he started working on a roster file but i don't think he's completed it yet when i last checked. right now the game still has tons of flaws with the ai and i can't see how anyone plays this game long term without a roster file that addresses many of those flaws.

because the flaws arent that drastic to some people.

like for instance ive never known about the double team thing.

Re: Damn this game is good.

Can anyone tell me if Ben Wallace = Tim Duncan + Patrick Ewing in this game? That alone will probably hook me. lol.
Which ever company can get their players to play like their real life counter parts will have my business. Yao Ming is good at some things and sucks at others in real life. But in 2K he can do it all with ease. How is he in Live?

What flaws are there wth the roster? not being a smartass i just wanted to know cause I dont really have a issue with that part of the game.

it's not just the double teams imo, watch the fast breaks and you'd think every player is reggie miller based on his fast break logic. why on earth is josh smith coming to a dead stop at the 3-point line instead of running the floor looking for a dunk or layup based on his style of play.

i only rented the game and i know they said dna wasn't updated with rentals or something of that effect but shouldn't a player like smith, mikeal pietrus, gerald green or corey maggette already be programmed to go for a closer shot instead of camping out on the perimeter during a 3 on 1 fb?

i didn't see the ai throw or attempt an alley oop to anyone, it's as if the game is designed to play fundemental basketball swing the ball around the perimeter and take the open shot. i'm not knocking the game because fundementals is the basic starting point on all level's of basketball. but that concept or approach leads to 30 teams and well over 400 players all following the same logic and tendencies of each other.

the game lacks any persona or style of play out of the players. dwight howard is going to play like robert swift inside relying on short jumpers instead of being delivered alley oop's or spinning off someone and dunking baseline. maggette who ranks up near the top in ft attempts every year settles for jumpers just like michael finley or adam morrison.

as someone pointed out the warriors tempo is no different from that of san antonio. when you play the warriors do you get a sense that they are jackng up 3's from all over and running at every opportunity. i'm not talking about seeing the ai come up with 8-10 fast break points i'm talking about game tempo period. there is no different logic in the way players/teams attack you in half court or in the open floor.

didn't mean to rant on but i think one of the posters who i qouted earlier was on the right track about the broken ai logic in the game. no need for anyone to get bent out of shape, yes it's a good game but i'm sure there are some of you who see these issues besides me and few others.

nobodys bent homie...

i was just saying i didnt see that doubel team issue, but you bring up some good points that definitely should be looked at

no ben wallace does not perform madness like that in this game.

Re: Damn this game is good.

I swear last years Live should have been called nba fastbreak 08 lol, the whole game was a run n gun lol I'm guessing thats why they tried lower it will see wht they do with the patch. I still want to see how the dna feature works during the season before I judge the AI.

Not a knock on the guy, but I believe that Playmakers has a "tweaking" fetish. Dude will edit stuff just for the sake of editing.

Messing around with the gameplay settings/sliders is one thing....but doing "major edits" for the players ratings is nonsense for this year's version of Live.

Re: Damn this game is good.

This started off as a good thread. I've read some really great post but, they are starting to look like every other 2k v live thread. All the OP said was that this game is good. All of the sudden people want to start bringing up how arcady 08 was, run n' gun, how much you have to edit players and sliders, yadda yadda yadda. It's the same stuff. How come someone can't just say they like the game and then leave it at that. If you don't like it than that's cool.

I have both games and both have issues. To each his own.

Everyone should just be happy it's basketball season and we aren't talking about football games.

OPENING NIGHT IS ONLY 1 HR AWAY!!! CAN YOU FEEL IT?!?!

Damn this game is good.
