Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

If you like permanent player-lock, we added the option to set it pre-game from within every game mode.

How does your AI teammates behave when you're on player lock? Are they always looking to give you the ball or will they try and score on their own?

Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

Okay I'm going to actually talk about Passing in the Game in General.

From what I saw it the Passing Video all I saw was the same behind the back pass done by Lebron and Steve Nash through out the vid. I'm not being assuming but are we going to have atleast 10 advanced passes in this years game? I would hope so, because if I just finished a top play in clutch I would like to see varitety in the results. Could you imagine uploading all of your top play vids and the same behind the back pass and Jump Shoot giveaway-pass being shown. YIKES.

Cool2fool beat me to it, but he's right. You can pull up the icons and switch back to the ball handler if you want, or any other player for that matter.

No, I mean if you're holding down the button of the player and the icon button. How do you switch back without passing him the ball?

Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

Looking really good.

I think I'm going to spend a few days practising like Dre said above...and then play a season as the Bulls.

The East should be fun with all the stacked teams there. Cannot wait

so that's a little different. this might sound complicated, but it's not.

if you're holding down Direct Pass and B (SG), you're in control of the SG
if you decide you don't want to pass the ball, release Direct Pass while still holding B
You'll offball switch to the SG
Now hit Direct Pass and hit the icon of the guy you were previously controlling

Now you're back in control of the ball handler and no pass is ever thrown.

Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

This game looks amazing.

I have two questions for the devs.

1) If I switch to an off-ball player, how do my teammates play? I mean, do I have to press X to tell them to shoot the ball ot they're independent?

2) Beluba said in the video that you can control a player the whole possession if you wanted to. So, I switch to an off-ball player. If I receive the ball, and pass it to another player, who am I controlling now? The new receiver, or the player I choose to control off the ball?

I hope you guys understand me.

As soon as you touch the ball again once you've switched off, controls go back to "normal". Ie. you will be in control of the new ball handler til you explicitly switch off again.

In past forms of this type of control, the AI on your team will play as they would or shoot the ball without your consent. would this be a problem with live 10?

Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

Re: NBA Live 10 Blog: Passing Controls

Loving the fact that it really seems like there are great animations and well varied, without sacrificing control of him. I'm playing the Combine now and it is slowly p***ing me off little by little, that my player just does stuff, moves around as the AI sees fit, w/o me touching my controller.

Can't wait for this. Honestly don't know how my girl is going to take all the bball playing I'll be doing this year.

No. We modified the AI so that it basically idles and protects the ball. But it won't start breaking down the opposition without you.
