Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Well my copy just ate it. I think my last game in Live (Bucks (aka Jennings/Redd/Bell) vs. Blazers (BRoy/Outlaw/Aldridge/Oden/Dre/etc.) was so infuriating that the despair of having my NBA game, one that i've spent the last couple months agonizing over and anticipating, fatally scratched by my 360 moving hasn't yet hit me. It will.

That sucks dude.


Anyway does anyone know if they are going to change online ranked games to include fatigue? Kinda lame without it.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

2nd time I asked this. Are mid-air collision layups next to impossible to make?

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Wow I just had one of my best games playing Live. I was the Blazers playing online vs the Lakers. I went down by 14 towards the middle of the game and down I think 10 after the 4th quarter. Couldn't stop Pau Gasol as he was hitting everything inside the paint. Well I made a come back since his defense left Aldridge wide open in the key and I was able to score some points and cut into the lead. I eventually tie it up and even had a chance to win with B. Roy at the buzzer but it rims out and we go into OT.

From here, I score six straight baskets as Andre Miller (11 Assists) continues to find Aldridge open in the paint for some easy buckets. Next possession Pau Gasol who has been beasting inside all game gets blocked by Oden which goes off the backboard with me gaining possession. That's when the disconnect screen came up LOL.

I'm pissed though since I didn't get to check the box score or save any replays. I think B.Roy had 27. This game is awesome.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I have been reading through this thread. Some of the complaints are valid. This game isn't qute "there" yet but it is alot closer than we thought possible at this point. That being said - I think the BIG problem with those having difficulty is that this game in a way forces you to play that is completely different from how we have played NBA games in the past. I'm certain of it. In my opinion - to really appreciate this game you have to throw out any preconceived notions of how you think a basketball game should play.


P.S. Even tho the game doesn't need sliders to be playable - they sure can help the experience. Don't be afraid to use 'em.

Yes. I make around 3-4 out of 10.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Yes. I make around 3-4 out of 10.

I'm not sure how accurate that is, but assuming it's true a 30-40% success rate is far from 'next to impossible'. Of course it depends on which player you are using also.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I dont have any problems hitting the open 3 point shot with Nash, Richardson and Barbosa. I probably hit 30-35% of my attempts which I think is very accurate. I play on All-Star level.

You don't think there should be % differences between a wide open and a contested? Right now they are all falling under the same umbrella.

I dont really remember many 3 point shots going down with someone in my face. I will play a game later this afternoon...I have Orlando up on my next game. I will report back...

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Here's an issue I've found that I don't know if its been mentioned:

Having pick and roll mapped to the B button makes it very difficult to control the ballhandler while going around the pick. I like to do crossovers as I move around a pick to make my moves less predictable, and you cant do that in Live because you need your thumb in order to keep the pick in place.

Maybe they should make it so a trigger calls for a pick to avoid this problem, like RB since that is rarely used. They could switch RB or LB with B imo

I use sizeup moves to get to either side of the pick. Try that out.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Anyone actually prefer manual subs better?

I have no problem with the auto sub rotations, but I like to have control over when and for how long I go Bench, small ball lineup, 3 pt shooters, and big line ups in.

there are times in the game when I would want all of my best defenders on the floor, or go with special lineups over the course of a game..like using Kobe and Artest in the backcourt together at times..or swing Dirk to small forward or have him play a little C to create quickness or size mismatches..things like that.

I agree 100%, I loved using the jab steps when a pick was coming, made it much easier to "use or refuse" the screen in 09. I definitely prefer the entire pick and roll mechanic from last year, maybe in time I'll get more comfortable with it.

This is not a direct quote from an EA rep, but it's accurate to my knowledge.

ONLINE FATIGUE: Per Beluba and StephonsonMC...

1. Fatigue currently does not work for ranked online games...They are hoping to patch it with the first patch. Iminurbase is looking into the problem
2. Fatigue will work online if you set up a CUSTOM game and turn FATIGUE OFF...Yes I said turn FATIGUE OFF...There is a bug in the game and for fatigue to work online in a Custom or created game it has to be off.

What you have to do is guide you man into the pick. You don't need to use any dribbling moves at that point, just make sure your defender eats the pick. Sometimes they don't.

That's because the auto subs aren't that great...
