Ask The Developers a Question II

Re: Ask The Developers a Question II

Thanks man for answering these questions so fast! I'll keep em coming. I noticed players diving on the ground this year. Will there be jump balls? When the ball is loose on the floor will players move at realistic speeds to get the loose ball? and will the AI be smart enough to pick up a ball thats right in front of them (hustle plays depening on their rating) Not sure if you can answer these since its in regards to gameplay but if you can thanks.

So in season mode you can control more than one team?

Re: Ask The Developers a Question II

In Dynasty/Season when controlling a team, can you adjust the playbooks/tempos to your liking, or will it always use the DNA info? I.E., I "take over" the Warriors, trade Bad Porn for Zach Randolph, and decide to implement a bunch of back-to-the-basket plays at the PF spot and slow down the tempo -- can I pick another team's playbook, choose from a list of plays to add to the existing book, change tempo settings (sliders, I assume)?

Base....

Can you clarify somethings about the "hanger".

1) can we "team" personalize the hanger (ie. logo's, colour's etc)

2) can we set our own player to player in the hanger.

3) Is the practice gym from last year still in the game ? (ie, team colours, logos, setting whatever player you want to be controlable)

4) If the above question is a yes, do we have the option of booting up the game practice gym

1. no
2. no (we make some special groupings of players to mix it up)
3. yes in dynasty mode
4. no

Re: Ask The Developers a Question II

in any kind of mode other than practice ie season,or dynasty can you control more than one team or as in the past u r stuck with only being able to play as the team you start the mode with.this to me and others is always a game breaker and seems to always be left out.the answer always the same next year.

Re: Ask The Developers a Question II

Is there a gameplay tutorial that shows all the moves in the game? Not just a controls list, but something that shows low post moves/strategy, rebounding tips, and that kind of thing? Seems like the manuals for games leave a lot of things out and these video/guided tutorials are a goof way to get everyone up to speed.

Failing a tutorial (or even if there is one), are there practice drills like we had in the practice gym last year where you can work on all these skills? If so, is there a grading component to it, or just a free session kind of thing?

Re: Ask The Developers a Question II

did the create a player limit get raised up higher than 50 players this year?

Re: Ask The Developers a Question II

since there is no more academy, i wud like to know two things,

1. will we still be able to drills and stuff outside of dynasty? like a practice mode?

2. there are specific groupings in the hangar? what if we want to practice with our created player or something, we wudnt be able to do tht?
