No, it's actually spot-on. one button cannot compare to the possibilities with an analog stick.

You may not like the implementation but that has nothing to do with the fact that there are more choices in deciding what your player does.

Exactly. The statement would be true if 2K implemented it right. But they didn't.

Don't state that as if it's a fact. The reality is if Live copied it exactly you'd see a lot more players here.

Madden is using that same exact formula with 2k5 this year.

But let's try and keep the focus on Live and not derail the thread.

I cant remember guys here saying that the two button system is wrong.

I also dont like this change but I want to try it out first before I start making judgements.

edit: lets just hope that momentum shots are well implemented.

Not sure where I saw it but I did see that request an AWFUL lot. There was what seemed like a flood of guys who hated that control.

to date 2k's system gave the users most control broken or not to date is the best. Now with B on board with live who knows more details on what is right and wrong with shot stick saying he believes he has a better solution I am inclined to wait and see and I expect it will be great and most will enjoy it.

You're right, I shouldn't have said it like it was fact-- but in the event that they did switch to the 2K format and attract more players, that wouldn't necessarily mean it's not a flawed system.

I can't count the number of times I've shot a jumper when trying to lay it up and vice versa. It's extremely annoying and unrealistic

CALM DOWN GUYS.

I have a feeling it will be for the better and I trust they know what they're doing. The people complaining that they shouldn't have switched it, well, if they didn't, there would be people complaining that it needs switching. lol.

But how about we lay off on the doomsday attitudes and gamebreaker mentality until we actually get to play and see the controls in action.

Or at least wait til the shooting blog 1 friday right?? Maybe a video showing a little bit that day 2... I AGREE WITH U. They do need to slow down jumping to those bad conclusions cause they dont even know how it works in the game yet.

Can we sticky each blog every week so can we can ask questions about them in one place. That way we wont get qustions being asked all over the place (and we wont be getting answers all over the place.) That way Steph, Beluba etc can just focus on the one thread that highlights that weeks blog. And all questions/answers can be in one spot.

Just an idea.

Steph or Beluba, is there anyway possible that we can get some small info/details on NBA LIVE10 before the big blogs on Fridays???? Cause friday is a long wait to hear about a gud game lol.

Re: Bad News: '10 to only have 1 shot button for layups, dunks, jumpshots

The two shot system is one of the features i liked with live over 2k. I like to be in control of what im planning to do. We will just have to wait and see how this will turn out. All the other ideas for live 10 have been great additions so im staying optimistic about this one.

Re: Bad News: '10 to only have 1 shot button for layups, dunks, jumpshots

This is fine with me. I always got tripped up with the 2 button system too. Granted, I haven't played much of EA's basketball games since Live's next-gen debut. I played the Live demos, I played a few games of NCAA bball 09 on ps3.

Dunno if my opinion is slanted since I enjoyed 2k a lot more over the past few years, but the shot stick is waaaay superior to anything Live has done. But Live's freestyle control (ankle breaker or w/e its called) is superior to 2k's isomotion.

I wouldn't mind if they copied the shotstick at all or made something similar to it. I'm just not sure if I wanna see the quickstrike ankle breakers subbed out for it. Maybe they could make it so if you hold a trigger and use the right analog, you can execute dribbling moves. If you don't hold a trigger then it's just a shotstick.

But I think in this day and age there's no way Live can pass (or will pass) with just one button to control all the shots. They're better than that.
