Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

Welp, upon playing a heavy dosage of games my second impressions about the patch is, EA you have released more bugs.

For some reason now whatever it maybe, my PF and C are checking the same guy the WHOLE GAME. Nothing I did was able to stop this so I had to manual control the PF myself and make him check his man.

The automatic run straight to the guy your double teaming as soon as he gets the ball is no good whatsoever. Now what folk to is when they pass the ball to the guy being double they run around in circles, and the guy coming to double runs around in circles with him looking dumb and they just drive to the lane for an easy bucket. It was much much better the previous way.

Add on the long fastbreaks because your defense doesn't get back and it's a no go.

I understand some people like to play the CPU as I do as well. But there are many head to head players out there as well. More focus to element bugs when it comes to online and head to head play has to be given with a greater effort.

Go base game, and good attempt this year. But hopefully, just hopefully you guys can finally get things right. Guess it's time to start up a dynasty.

And by the way can any of the devs answer as to why you won't bump the difficulty level up to Superstar for online ranked games??? I know you changed the difficulty for the 5 on 5 or something like that, but why not have ranked games set to Superstar? What's the reasoning behind this?

Can any of the devs answer whats in the bold?

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

Well the only obvious thing I have noticed is your guys jump better to block and rebound....other than that seems the same.

One weird thing though. I was playing against OKC in my dynasty and for some reason Durant did not play.

I went to the stats for the season after the game to check and NO he isnt hurt. In fact he hasnt played in any of their 6 games!!! WTF???!!!! Why is their best player on the bench, all season???? Glitch??

Where do you find these settings for the 360? TV, GAME, or the 360 itself??

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

I'm losing 39-38 at the half with the Lakers but it shows in the stats I have scored 40 points in the paint. Steph maybe you can answer this one? Steph also are their other stats glitches that you are aware of. When I play stats are a big deal for me. Thanks

Yep, we know about this my man. Something we can fix for next year.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

How about fixing it this year instead of making us spend another $60? Not to be an *** but i will anyways. This is a very good game, but its still nto finished and there are a lot of little thigns that could be very easily cleaned up taken the time. You guys do this every year. The rotations are still messed up and could be fixed. There are still a lot of graphical glitches and the gameplay still could be tuned a bit. A lot of little roster things and stuff like that. I understand you guys want to sell more games and we as consumers in essence are paying you to do this stuff, but after a while this gets kind of obvious. Another patch and this game could be a 10 imo. Instead we have to spend another $60 to get a game that should have worked right in the first place? Who's to say there won't be problems with next years as well. It's every year.

It just seems to me like you guys could be a lot more productive and still make money releasing a polished product, and then have time to concentrate and dream up new features and stuff like that instead of housekeeping bugs. This stuff could be pretty easily corrected taken the time EA, even though its a pain, but you know this as well as i do. I know you guys have jobs and families and things on your plate and i'm not trying to make your job harder here. It just seems to me like you guys do this every year and just create more work for yourselves. In the end the consumer feels ripped off a bit.

It has 100% nothing to do with that Walker. We aren't witholding stuff from you to sell more games.

There are patch limitations and numbers that we have to deal with when patching things.

By us being here, we're trying to educate all of you on what it takes to make a game. It seems like it'd be simple to clean up rotations, but that's code which wasn't there when NBA LIVE 09 was released. Whenever you mess with code, mistakes could happen and the process gets longer and longer. We are right in the middle of building NBA LIVE 10, and this is just the reality of our dev cycles Walker. There will be problems with 10 Walker. That I can assure you. There are issues with every single game that has ever been made.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

Maybe so. I just had to say that. I just want a game that works right out of the box and is fun adn plays a good game of basketball for once. This game is the closest i have seen to that. Live 09 is an awesome game Steph so dont get me wrong. The rotations and stuff are still not quite right and I dont have time to be messing around with these games either trying to get them to work right. I just want them to work. That's where i'm coming from. I dont get paid to make games. I jsut play them. I've been gaming fora long time and it just gets tiring after a while, messing with these games trying to get them to work, especially when i dont have access to fix it myself. I'd jsut like a game to work right for once. That would be so sweet.

I hear you and totally understand. Just know that we want that too and are constantly trying to give you that.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

Cool man. I understand what you do is a process and ultimately its the goal that matters. I am patient but i'm also not in certain regards. Hard to explain. But I do understand what you guys do and are trying to do even though i might sound like i don't sometimes. It's definately good to hear it from you that that is your goal.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

Lets not start this crap again. Walker stop it with this mess in the wrong thread.

You arent giving any impressions whining about making the game right to the wrong dev team in the first place.

Go to the Wishlist thread and voice your opinion about 2010, pm t hese guys but please stop it in here.

People are here to discuss impressions and that's it.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

So hopefully we can get back to the impressions. For anyone that has the game 360 vs ps3. I'm trying to figure out which version to get. Any help with "IMPRESSIONS" with be helpful. Thanks again.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

What kind of difference do you think would be there?

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

I must say when I first got the game, I was very frustrated with 365 and all. Online is horrible with the same cheese style every game. But after being patient and playing more and more,I like this game. The patch has improved some many things,and this is one of very few games where you can actually play the CPU and have a fun competitive game.The gameplay is smooth,the post play is great,and I have always loved the right stick dribble control.There is a lot to improve on,but I think EA has gotten Live back to the way it was on the xbox days.

My only gripes would be the cheesy online play,a little bit better playbooks,better free throw animations and more sig shots.

Kudos to stephensonmc and the dev team on a great game.
