NBA Live 10 Q&A: Round Two

[ChaseB]

All right, so this time around, we're looking for questions that you all have as it relates to anything you've seen in any of the gameplay videos released or in any of the new previews that have been released.

If you have questions on those fronts, ask them and like last time, we will forward them along to EA to be answered.

Thanks Chase here is my question
about shot blocking can we pin on and grab the ball when blocking a layup or a dunk?

Re: NBA Live 10 Q&amp;A: Round Two

LOL I think I'm out of questions on these things. I want to know about the new modes they haven't talked about officially yet (as well as OTP), but that's about it. So much has been addressed in the gameplay blogs, previews, and videos released so far I don't even know where to start with gameplay questions.

Ooh, I got one: can a dev confirm the total number of plays available in the game (and/or note that it might change via DNA updates)? Chase mentioned 392 available to LAL in the demo, but is that cumulative? Including variations? What is the average number of team-specific plays available? I think Beluba/iminurbase said there were plays "in the high 400s" at one point, but again, is that total? Can we assign the Bulls playbook to the Spurs if we wanted to?

Will bench animations be tweaked better for certain situations? The videos show bench players getting too excited on not-so-exciting plays.

Good question
Can this be fixed?
i would hate to see the bench get excited after a lay up(in the 1st quarter) lol

Re: NBA Live 10 Q&amp;A: Round Two

Mine is about the defensive stars in the game:

Will the designated defensive stoppers move over to other positions to guard opposing star offensive players? I always hated how guys like Bruce Bowen would only ever cover other SF's even if the opposing star was playing SG etc. Say your playing against the Rockets and Bowen would be covering Battier at SF rather than switching over to guard TMac at the 2 etc....

Also will they do a better job of recognising stars and double teaming / denying the ball at times other then when they get "hot"? In the past live 09 they would double down on any low post player regardless of skill and i hear that has been improved but I would like to know if they are more intelligent for perimeter players?

Thanks for all the great info on both hoops game so far Chase!
