My only concern and I hope a EA guy can answer this question.
Why in the world are sliders being reduced every year?
It's like the user has less control over game play because sliders are being taken away every year. Now i understand you guys work hard on the game and maybe i'm missing something here but already this year the following sliders were removed from the game this year and this list doesn't include the one's that have been removed from prior years.
1). Human Pass Accuarcy
2). Sink or Swim
3). Defensive Low post Strength-This is huge because it allowed the game to feel like weight mattered inside when posting up now players feel like they have no weight at all.
4). On Ball Physical defense-I realize that you want the Human to play posistional defense but shouldn't we have the option to make the game have more physicality on the perimeter and for those who don't want it could be reduced down
5). Fight Through Screen Ability
6). Boundary Force Field Slider-This is another huge one from years past that basically kept players with in the court boundary meaning no stepping out of bounds.
There are a few more but I stopped at that list. I'm knocking the game Marcus or Beluba if you read this because I like what you guys are doing over the last two years. But it just seems the like options to customize this game to it's fullest potential is being taken away slowly each year.
I'm aware of DNA and how it works just for heads up to guys who think i'm rookie or something. But DNA can't control some of those game play factors. It just feels bare bones now when compaired to the options in 2K9 or even previous Live versions.
I don't know if sliders can be patched or not in NBA Live although both Madden and NCAA 10 released a patch with additional and new sliders this year. Please do not take this the wrong way because I'm huge fan of the series but it seems like a lot of stuff is being scaled back and some of those things really made garbage games like Live 07 and 08 somewhat playable after tweaks and i can only imagine what Live 10 would play like if there were more options given to the USER.
I also noticed the Footplanting system from previous years has completely been scrapped but I'm not a game designer. I don't know if that was nesscesary or not. But it sure did seem like a great thing to me in Live 07 and 08 but the animations were TERRIBLE and ruined it.
