I'm all for constructive feedback. My point was directed at those saying that they played the game for 2 minutes and then turned it off. Some around here just doesn't want the game to be any good and I don't get it. I'd love to have 2 outstanding basketball games to choose from every year. I'm even disappointed that Sony gave up on their series (I hope it comes back next year). I hope 2K10 dazzle us as well.

As far as rebounding in Live 10 is concerned, I'm still playing at Superstar and cleaning the glass has been a smooth experience for me (specially with Gasol and Howard). I'm not worrying too much about boxing out using the "Y" button because it has been no use.

Instead, I'm getting into position and timing the button press. And I think I've mastered it. And I'm no God of the sticks or something like that. So what I'm saying is: if even I could master it, I believe all of you can as well. And that should mean that the rebounding mechanic isn't broken.

Thanks for the response

Boxing out is so fundmental to basketball. I assumed they would want to give the user control in those situations. I'll have to adjust and focus on the rebounding

Also someone earlier questioned why I didn't say definitively that the stagnant AI bug in the demo was fixed in the final version. I just didn't want to put a 100% guarantee on anything because it's an elusive bug. It cropped up a few times throughout the year and always had a different cause. To the best of my knowledge, it's completely fixed in the final version. In other words, I haven't seen it happen in any of my games over the past few weeks.

I actually agree with a previous poster about not making the post up animation using the RS click. I think its too clunky and I agree, if at all possible, that you guys should put the post up animation back on the LT. I think the LT + RS is relegated to freestyle passing, so maybe that would make it a problem, but I'm hoping you guys can find an alternate solution while also moving the post animation back to the LT.

This isn't going to happen.

Im sorta confused to why everyone is so upset about posting up not being mapped to LT. It hasn't been since Live 2005.

2K players possibly?

Its not about it being mapped to the LT, its about it not being mapped AT ALL. I just don't know how practical it will be to have to click the stick to initiate the post animation and click it again (I suppose?) to deactivate it.

Pretty much. They can't remap the whole control scheme through a patch.

I dont mind the way posting up is done personally...

Here's what they should do:

Change what is currently LT to LB (so make direct pass LB)
Make what is currently LB to RB (dunno what it is - plays? i dunno if I use it)
Make what is currently RB to clicking the right stick
Make LT post up

simple intuitive solution. just make LT post up and figure out which combination of the other 3 is most intuitive.

Simple, definitely not. But it would be nice.

That isn't intuitive either. LB is plays, RB is quick play and its used to cycle through plays. Direct Pass needs to be on a trigger because its easier to hold down when you're using the off ball features/freestyle passing. Doesn't make any sense to switch all of that because some people are used to LT for posting up.

The only switch that could work would be either map quick play to clicking the stick and RB to post up, or map alleyoop to something else and use Y for postup. Face buttons should be for things that get the most use and alleyoop really should not be on the 4 main buttons.

My initial experience was very positive after I learned the playbooks and the dribble moves. However, the quirks are really starting to annoy me.

1. The blocking is akward at best, easily the worst part of the game. I don't like how your player jumps straight up into the air to contest a shot. In the NBA, a player must often contort or angle their body/ arm to make a play on the ball.

2. Rebounding has been greatly improved, but it's still weird and tough to reliably grab a board after gaining proper position.

3. The CPU throwing up fadeaway 3's at least once a game and usually making them.

4. Post defense - I think this goes back to the straight up blocking animation where you feel helpless defending the bigs down low.

5. Transition Defense - When the CPU is running the break I typically feel helpless. I try and play the angles to cut the off, but they usually blow by me for an easy layup or dunk. I'm hoping a 2k camera-like view would help this.

I know this post sounds negative, but I am enjoying live. I thought last year's game had a lot of potential and I am seeing much of it being fulfilled. I am a big 2k guy, but I will give live a serious shot since 2k has been going downhill recently.

If they make it like 09 u just click the stick to engagae and hold away from the , its not clunky at all and it works, but I personally like the post in this game as its more natural to call a iso and walk slowly into the post rather than just running to the post and clicking a button becaue the guy will just unnaturally turn his back without even feeling the defender b4 he turns just my opinion and I think everyone should just get the controls down to a T before just dismissing them because it will take some natural motion and realism out of the game

**Dantecamp21** · 09-13-2009, 10:32 PM

I guess the best option to solve the ongoing question about the mapping of the backing down button (assuming they can only map it to either sticks) would be:

- make the user click the LS to initiate a manual back down but at the same time keep it context sensitive if you make contact with a defender in the post.

That would keep both camps happy since some are already used to the AI making that decision and others want control of it every time. Is that possible Mike?
