Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

I can say that we're planning to address Dynasty this year, yes.

So you all never planned to address dynasty last year? what was the point of the dynasty request forum last year? i know time is an issue but in order to please us dynasty heads a lot will have to be done now. i wouldn't have been mad if you all had just removed the player rotations since it has never worked on any live.

To be honest the gameplay is good but with the online exploits and poor dynasty the game isn't that appealing right now but you all shouldn't care because you have my 60 dollars already.

question about the dynasty though how are good shooters determined for the draft when there are no ratings and they have no dna?

Lol.

Is there any reason why I can't upload my videos? Are the EA Servers down?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Not sure if this has been asked but why is it that you guys at EA won't use #'s for your sliders? Did you guys not test slider movement and notice that it is almost impossible to move it 1 click at a time? Do you have intentions on fixing it with a patch? Every year numerous posters have asked for this feature to be simplified to no avail. Can we get a concrete answer as to why you all do not feel it is needed? Thanks

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

My biggest gripe with this game is the contact animations that happen alot but dont produce any fouls. I think a lot of this could be resolved if we could pass out of lay-ups and dunks. This is one of the most important things to me because I like to make quick decisions and make my defender commit to me, once that happens a quick dumpoff pass and dunk/layup would be ideal. Instead once i make the decision to drive and press X its all she wrote, lets see how this plays out will get mugged? will i get a foul? Or will he lay it up? idk I love the drive and kick game but it would be nice to make some passes out of my layups. They dont have to be accurate passes because I know you shouldnt jump and pass but give me the option to, and if the defense is in good position then my pass should reflect that. Are you guys adding this to the repertoire? Can this be added via patch?? .......my guess is probably not

Will the player rotation issue be apart of the patch? It's a dam shame they haven't fixed this issue years ago. This has been a problem since Live 08. Hopefully, the developers fixs the problem this time around.

All I ask of Ea is to get my Bulls right, {they don't wear black shoes at home}, please fix this.

Are you guys adding the piston's red alternative road jerserys in the patch?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

1) Can loose balls be fixed where players just don't "Hustle" to the ball? They kind of look lost most of the time and one player from further away will make a move for it while the rest just look confused.

Here is a good example of what I mean

Can you guys implement some off-ball defensive controls, both for player lock and for OTP modes? It's very frustrating to not be able to body your man up reliably at all (only occasionally do you get contact animations off-ball, and normally they're actually "oops I bumped into you" type of animations, not "I'm playing off-ball defense on you" animations). That's probably unrealistic for a patch, but I would REALLY appreciate this being addressed for Live 2011... this was a problem in Live 08 and 09 as well. I suggest a right stick mechanic, but even contextual off-ball pressure would be a big improvement.

Good posts.

Yes it is possible. I play with either the Celtics or the Warriors and I win about half my games I play.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

I did some searching but couldn't find this answer anywhere. Can you do a runner? I play with the Spurs and Tony Parker should have one of the most unstopable runners in the game. It would seem you can not do runners with anybody. Please help.
