Re: Damn this game is good.

The thing that Ii dont understand is, if you dont like the game, you think its flawed, or you just prefer the other game overall then why even come into the Live threads? I mean what exactly is the point?

If I dont like the Eastside, your not gonna catch me out that way. If I dont like Walmart, your not gonna catch me in there. I dont like soccer, so your not gonna catch me watching or playing it.

So again I ask, whats the point in coming in the threads if you dont like the game? If you prefer the other game how come your not in there threads? Just makes no sense at all to me.

well, because I bought and paid for the game, and as a member of the os community thought I could come here and give a viewpoint. someone on the fence may appreciate that viewpoint. forums are not ONLY for positive reinforcement you know.

Re: Damn this game is good.

I agree with the double teams. They come way too often, reminds me of Live 04 where in the beginning of every game I had to turn off double teams for the cpu to play realistically. And actually, I was about to create a thread about this.

However, it seems like different people are having different experiences.

I'll try it out some more using different teams. I did notice though that some teams double way too often, while others not as much.

However, I don't agree that it's the reason for the good spacing. I've had lots of plays by me and the cpu which created open looks that didn't involve post-ups.

Regarding the fastbreaks, initially I was playing the game at a 42-44 speed setting, and if you remember I agreed with you that cpu fastbreaks seemed non-existent. However recently I bumped the speed back to 50 (which feels just right, imo) and I'm seeing more breaks by the cpu. The last two games I played were against the Blazers and the Nets, just played the first quarters of each. Roy, Aldrige, and even Oden had some nice finishes on the break against me. Against the Nets, Carter had two fast break dunks in that quarter.

And they weren't coming off of steals either.

I still get your argument that it seems hard to distinguish fastbreak/uptempo teams vs half-court set type teams, and for the most part I agree with you on that (based on my experience). Hopefully something that can be improved upon by thru DNA updates or for next year.

Really good post and I enjoyed reading it

Experiences do seem to be varying and maybe that's the sliders?

I am seeing horrible CPU AI for fastbreaks...worse than I've seen in any NBA game. I have my speed around 42...maybe that's it?

I would think it has something to do with it, try upping it to 50.

The thing about it is, the same negative things are being said over and over again by the same people. Know body wants to keep hearing negative things all the time. Why not just make a new thread about your issues or put them in the wishlist thread. Why come into someone elses thread where they are saying postives things about the game and try to bring it down (When we already know YOU have issues with the game)

That man made a great video showing how good the new DNA feature is and when you look at that video I really dont think its anyway you can deny it other than it being a good and true to life feature. Next thing you know people in the thread with the "Yeah its a great feature BUT.......yadda yadda yadda" Why not just say good vid, or yeah they did a nice job with this feature and leave it at that? Thats all Im saying.

And by the way I personally have seen tons of animations. From Billups to Parker to Pierce. Chris Paul has this little floater in the lane that he does. Look at the video thread and check out that Ginobili vidoe somebody posted. I have yet to see anyone else do that animation and it looks just like a Ginobili sig. Now can there be even more different styles and animations? Yes, theres always room for improvement in any game you play. But for this years Live I feel as though they did a good job with it and came along way from 08. Have a good feeling 2010 will be something special.

Re: Damn this game is good.

because the flaws arent that drastic to some people.

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

That's because you've not played it much. You tore NBA 2K9 apart...but are calling this game "better" based off very little play.

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.

Re: Damn this game is good.

Back To back Possessions with no double team... Horrible quality taken with my Cell Phone but you get the idea.. lol...

VIDEO0003.mp4 - 0.25MB

VIDEO0005.mp4 - 0.15MB

They won't d/l for me...but I appreciate your effort.

The whole thing is solved by switching sides and putting guys like Ben Wallace to "never" for double teams.

The prob is though...you can't switch sides in season / franchise mode.

Re: Damn this game is good.

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.

.

Thank you...!

I was starting to think I was going mad and was the only one seeing this...but I see a few fellas here have noticed it also.

It's a massive AI glitch...

Why? This is a forum.

A fourm is a place of debate / discussion.

That's what this place is.

Postives / negatives. Ying. Yang. All that stuff.

It's all done with a smile

Re: Damn this game is good.

Court I not tryin to be a dick but if you can't stand the fastbreak tht much put it in the wishlist or PM Beluda, he actually responds to pm I had a issue I wanted to see could be address 4 this year or next and we actually had a good convo on it. You keep bring up the same issue over an over it just gets annoying man espeically on threads tht have nothing to do about it. I know your intentions are good but come on.

You totally missed or ignored everything else I said. Proceed on with your negative comments.

Increasing game speed definately increases CPU fastBreaks... I am using Tombas sliders and the game speed that he has seems to be be too slow for CPU and human Fastbreaks, so I raised it about 10 clicks... fastbreaks feel good now...

Re: Damn this game is good.

Ha. Reading this thread about people complaining about the complainers... saying it's tiring to hear them repeat the same stuff....

Yet in every single one of these threads, there are always a couple of guys that respond with "I have both games; both games are great." Go ahead and look at the other threads... as soon as someone starts bashing one or the other, there is usually one guy that takes a side... another disagrees with him... then a "voice of reason" comes in claiming they have both, get equal playing time and love both to death."

It's a predictable cycle. Don't you guys ever get tired of it?

With that said, I still wish we had this predictable cycle in our football games.

Either way, the competition b/w two major companies is great. Keep working on making the better game instead of stifling the other through exclusive licenses and the such.

obviously they/we/you/I don't, because if we did there would be no such thing as OS forums... lol..
