Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Great, great post Jano......besides arena detail, I havent really post in the little things thread...b\c I never re ally find myself saying "wow, thats something ------ would do" besides the fact thy have a better percentage of finishing, and speed players dont really feel different to me. They also need to remove animations from some players....like bigs should NEVER do a euro step lol

I can agree with this. I hate when you think you have perfect defensive position only to be beaten by someone like Amir Johnson scoring with a ridiculous spin-move layup/euro step.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

The lack of animations is so frustrating to see at times because of how great this game's controls. Many times in a game you will be forced into a tough shot or give up one on D because the game doesn't have enough animations to cover that specific situation. It's so glaring this year it can almost ruin the game sometimes.

Things like TJ Ford being able to force Garnett into a tough shot in the paint should never happen. Or CP3 going full speed on the break only to be stopped completely because a defender was able to "cut him off." All of my issues are due to anims hopefully the patch will make some improvements to the way everything triggers.

I don't know how comfy you are with the controls yet and you're absolutely right that the animations have a ways to go but I'm never seeing any of this kinda crap anymore. Are you using the euro hops correctly and starting them far enough away from the hoop? I've been playing a ton with CP3 lately and no one cuts him off when they shouldn't, esp on a fast break.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I'm pretty good w/ the controls now its just that things like that will still happen from time to time. Especially my TJ ford example just had something similar to that happen in my last game.

Its not nearly as much of a problem as it used to be but its still there.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I have seen some nice floaters, no look passes, and just plain dominate players. Of course you gotta set the defense up and execute the play your self. Oh, and I have seen some nice alley oops and I can get some tip ins every blue moon.

I will say the game does have its "wow" moments, but of course it could always use a little more.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

the foul sensitivity and the foul ratings are the culprits for the animations robbing you on the break, 9 out of 10 times it should be a blocking foul... and 2 at the line

its like i have been saying from day 1, the game is great out the box for the masses, the technical ballers need to get under the hood and fix the game...

and we should not necessary be upset at the devs for this being the case because, realism is subjective to a certain degree, too many fouls could kill the game for the casuals and BIGS drop stepping with the footwork of balerinas on a dime could kill it for the hardcore folks

its a tough line to walk but i am happy almost every aspect of the game is tweakable....

the solution for the bigs issue is simple lower their hands in the post rating, the game does realize it and they wont even attempt to put it on the floor and if they did they will lose it 9 out of 10 times....

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I could deal with some of the issues, and Since I never completed a ear in dynasty anyway, DNA season is what I'm looking for, plus the rewind games are great. Honestly This game will hold me over until next season, I just feel something better and more special with LIVE even more next year, I see them creating a great franchise mode.

you might as well sell the game now because DNA cant stop bigs from euro stepping in the paint,

dna cant stop shaq from fading away, dna only puts them in the position on the floor, it makes the post up, run pick and roll, spot up at the 3 pt line, and cut to the basket.....

what happens after is the ratings UNLESS ea goes in and re-rate players this stuff will still happen....

dna cuases the rarings to fluctuate but a -10 one week in dampier's mid range jumper is not going to stop him from pulling up....

ratings need to represent a player, dna represents how he plays with his team

Hopefully next year anims are a huge focus for EA because they have the best controls so far. You can control every aspect of your game from cuts to layups. Once Live reaches 2K's status in the anims department its going to blow people's minds.

Cosign. I've said this already too. The devs will have to find a way to add more contextual animations without taking away the amazing control they've acheived with this game.

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Carnal, the games probably not going anywhere, im just saying....lol. Doesnt the DNA determine tendencies though? The probability of what a player should do? Im not extremely informed on the subject, but I thought that was the purpose of it. I figured some players were acting out of character b/c the proper DNA hadnt been assigned yet. If this isnt the case, that is somewhat dissapointing...but maybe they can edit the success rate of some of that stuff..

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

I think the DNA as of now is set from last years play for each individual player. I dont believe you will see much change. 1st or 2nd year players will probably see the most change due to playing better. Then the star players DNA will change based on numbers they had in games!? Just my opinion, not 100% about it.. lol

yes its all tendencies but it still relies on the ratings for example

"finish at the basket" the dna will get the player in or next to the paint what they do in there is where the ratings kick in, high aggressiveness would peobably yeild a dunk, then you throw in the posy savy rating and the offensive post rating then shaq turns into twinkle toes and unleashes the black tornado on 3 defenders......

so the dna is not detailed in ares such as fadeaways, lay ups, hook shots, backboard claps etc so it wont control those types of finishes

which is lives only weakness IMO the post is stale and forgotten, i never post up which is a shame especially because of the auto post crap where i am standing there for it to kick in but get stripped...

Re: Official NBA Live 10 Impressions Thread

Where's the option to call plays during a time out? I know the coaches don't just talk about what they had for breakfast or which club everybody is hitting up after the game. Hopefully it is there and I just haven't noticed it.

Live 11 definitely needs inbounds plays (heads to wishlist thread)

They are in. Human just cant call it. I feel you tho. You gets the dark circle...also, most of the time a big comes and picks for you.
