Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

You can't continue dribbling in the NBA after you go up for a shot. So what you're asking goes against the rules of basketball unless you meant something else.

Alright yeah I don't know much about NBA. All I wanted to do was catch the pass, give a shot fake to get the defender in the air, step to the side and bury a 3.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

has anyone take a charge on the cpu? i just stood in front of the cpu on 3 straight fastbreaks, held the right stick down, and instead i my guy taking the charge, he leaves his stance to contest the shot...

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

hey how many minutes are u guy(s) playing on?

one thing i've learned, this is not that "other" game. you MUST seriously allow spacing to get successful passing. you WILL get get picked off 9/10 times if you force into trafic...

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Where can I practice plays? I don't see a practice mode anywhere. I call plays but all you see is a red dot (or black sometimes) and then players have an A icon appear over their head. I'd like to actually know how certain plays are supposed to look and be run.

I cant figure this out either. I go to the red dot then I see a gray X over one of my players head. I don't know if I'm supposed to pass it to him or what? Seems like my plays break down bc I don't know how to run them.... Very confusing compared to that other game

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I have another question for those in the the know(Czar?).

The screens/pics seem to be very weak. Last night Bron has the ball on the wing, Z comes over for a screen and he rolls before even setting the pic. There were several examples of this throughout the game.

It'd be nice to have Z set the screen at the key for Mo, so he can dump it to him for "swisher sweet J" but they roll away too soon.

I'm at work so I can't check now but is there a slider for this?

Anyone else having success or seeing this as an issue?

Thanks.

For playrunning... the Red Dot indicates where to stand to initiate the play. The Dark Dot indicates where to go once the play is underway. The grayed-out "A" icon over the players' heads indicates pass recipients but WAIT UNTIL THE OVERHEAD ICON TURNS GREEN BEFORE YOU MAKE THE PASS OR THE PLAY WILL BE BROKEN.

This should get you started.. but with all of the branching options, how you finish is up to you!

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Ok let me just say that I officially SUCK at this game lol. Funny part is I enjoyed almost every second of being terrible. I really have to get rid of the bad habits I picked up from playin the other game. First game I played Knicks(me) v. Heat, I got destroyed and lost by 27, I love how this game forces you to play real basketball. I honestly don't have many complaints other than a couple of wonky block animations and a couple seconds of framerate slowdown here and there. Awesome game overall and very welcome change

I'm in the same boat with you. I always played Live and then got into 2k when Live was unplayable. I'm back now and I'm terrible. Ea has done a great job with the game with the presentation and the realism of the players tendencies. I played a game against Boston using Portland and I had a hard time getting good shots because of their D. Enjoying the game so far.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I'm enjoying the game so far, here are flaws:
1) Sliders still don't have number values! WTF?
2) Too many CPU shot blocks
3) Not enough stat overlays
4) Lockers appear to be those kind where you can only access your friends' lockers and no one elses - stupid.

Does anyone know how to turn off the ESPN videos in the Hangar? My internet connection is terrible so the videos are always choppy and it interrupts the amazing soundtrack too...

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Playing on All Star, 5 min. quarters. I obviously run with the Blazers. Ive played against the Jazz, Kings, Wizards, Rockets, and Nets. And have lost every damn one. LOL. I could beat the CPU in the demo most of the time. But now the CPU just crushes me in the 4th quarter every time it seems like. I'm also having trouble keeping them out of the paint. Last game vs Rockets they had 28 out of 47 in the paint. Any tips?
This is easily the hardest game I've ever played.
Which is great, actually.
Juts getting frustrated, you know?

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

2) Too many CPU shot blocks

It's the psychic blocks... watch as you see the CPU defender jump at the same instant you press the button. It's not always something that happens 100%, but when it does, you wonder how the computer was able to block you.

Just need to create more space for now.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Wow, a game that I can actually play online - I can't believe it!

I'm 3-0 so far online, and this is the first time that I've played Live in nearly 10 years! I'm not too familar with the controls (other than the basics), but I can actually still compete. And why is that? It's because in the first 3 games, I've played total cheesers. Holding down turbo, chucking full court passes to try and get cheap fast breaks, trying to get to the lane every single play, passing the ball to whomever you want at any time, shooting with one guy the entire game (LeBron James) - those tactics just don't work anymore. Now it's not to say that they don't work occasionally, but it's few and far between. If you don't play a smart, controlled game of basketball, you won't have much success.

I love it!

Thanks.

you must press and hold B (O on ps3) release the button whem you want them to roll. if you want the screener to pop out, tap the right shoulder (rb or r1) and you'll see theoick icon change white and a different icon...
