Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Just a few questions....

1. Why when you drive to the lane, your bigs retreat to the three point line=no rebounds.

2. Why when the Cpu doubles, their weak side defender guards two people=zone in NCAA 10

3.Is there a secret to driving the lane on All Star default, come on...I know you guys know...tell me

If not, I still love the game

Which direction do we move the Dunk vs. Layup Slider to see less dunks?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

So, I know that there have already been a number of posts concerning numerous rookies and "role-players" looking nothing like their real life counterparts in NBA live 10 and the hopes that dynamic DNA will address these things...In addition some fairly high profile rookies are lacking accessories and tattoos...NBA 2K's Insider has already done a much better job of making sure all players including rookies and bench players look for the most part like their real life counterparts and including tattoos and accessories. I was stupid and bought NBA live 10 used for $55...then I had to turn around and spend another $15 for dynamic DNA as the code had already been used...thus I dished out $70 for this game...All I have to say to the NBA live 10 devs is that YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO UPDATING THE ROSTERS/PLAYER APPEARANCES/ACCESSORIES to make my fee of $15 dollars for dynamic DNA even close to worth it!!!!!!! I mean c'mon Patty Mills looks like some random white dude...Terrance Williams has tatts all up and down his arms...yet in the game NOTHING...Danny Green looks NOTHING like he does in real life...and is missing his tat. There is no excuse...please fix these things that have been mentioned in the boards NOW!!!!!!! EA sports...if it's in the game, it's in the game (really???????)

if anything i would like to see more dunks...not just by guards but more by big men...bigs do too many layups even when there wide open in the paint.

Check the game in the morning and PM Steph if you see issues.

Why do some created players only have a choice of generic sneakers while some get the full assortment of sneaker selection?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

And what is triple threat effectiveness for?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

I'd like to give some credit to the developers. There are alot of people who talk to these developers like they are servents or something -- demanding things like they are some type of king or something. I can understand that there are some things that might have issues in the game...but to go on a tantrum about the fact that someone doesnt have the right number of tatoos and non sense like that is ridiculous. I come from the old days of Atari/Intellivision and back then we aere thankful to see stick men running around. Videogames have come along way and the fact that the technology has gotten so good, we have become pretty spoiled to some degree. On the other hand, I do agree that games should be developed without the need for patching later on as that can cause other issues. However, this game is a decent game. The foundation is there and th more I am exposed to it, the more I think that alot went into this. Therefore, its cool that you guys interact w/the S Community despite some of the "orders" that seem to come from many here. Thank you...

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Check the game in the morning and PM Steph if you see issues.

checked this morning and no change appearance/accessory/tattoo wise...and I don't know who Steph is...if you could just please answer this question...Will player appearances (such as jon Brockman from the Kings looking like a 5'10" bald black dude, Aaron Carter for the Nuggets lacking any tattoos (he is starting for the Nuggets by the way), and many other rookies/role players) be corrected and updated in any sort of timely fashion? I ask this because I spent a lot of money on this game and the $15 extra for dynamic DNA because I "heard" it was going to be the most comprehensive dynamic updating system from top to bottom. We are 1 month into this game's release...the season is well underway and there are a myriad of players who lack correct height, appearance, accessories, tattoos, correct shoe colors (a number of guys who were traded still have the color scheme of their previous teams). Again, I switched from 2K to Live this year...and I ask these questions because if in fact these changes will never be made...then please let me know so I can trade the game in and recoup as much money as possible and go back to 2K. I do enjoy many aspects of Live 10, but if this supposed "superior" dynamic DNA updating system cannot fix some of these aforementioned player appearance. accessory tattoo issues, then I will just go back to 2K because at least Jon Brockman from the Kings is not a 5'10" black dude in their game. Simply put, these are oversights that should not be an issue in such an advanced game sush as NBA live 10 on an advanced system like the xbox 360.

On a side note...Kingdevin, I really don't care if you don't agree w/ my demands to the Live producers because quite frankly I never asked for your opinion or commentary. I really do enjoy this game overall. There of course many things that 2K does better, but I have enjoyed most of my experience w/ this game...The atmoshpere including player likenesses, accessories etc...are important to me, but not all that I am concerned w/. The issue is that some of the oversights are soooo significant (such as white guys being black, black guys looking white, and some players not even looking remotely close to their real life counterparts) that it detracts from my enjoyment of the game and I would assume many other individuals from many of the different message boards I have read on this site as well as the EA site share my views.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Hey Developers,

Quick question...

Once again this year's game has a place to enter "NBA Codes". I asked the question last year if there were really any codes and Steph said NO.

Are there any "NBA Codes" this year?

There are players that did not ship on our disc that we need to update (Brockman). The fact that you have access to players we didn't ship with is pretty cool, IMO. This is a manual process. Tattoos cannot be updated. There is not a magic way to change art on players like this.

All the shoes, accessories, etc. are manual changes. We do our best here do provide an update every Friday. Currently our guy (steph) is out of the office, so this may be next week. To your point, yes we need to update these guys.

Aside from those manual changes, DNA is an automated service providing DNA, lineups, injuries, streaks, shooting %, and tendencies for every player every day. As with any process there are some errors that we address as soon as we can.

Move to the left

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Dont know if this was posted, but a more responsive interception button. I will jump a lane or stand right in front of a player that is receiving a pass and my guys does not react at all to intercept the ball.

This is the only thing I need corrected.

The game otherwise is so much fun , and the sliders work so im very happy.

Great Job this year with Live 10

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Surely somebody had to have already asked about the absence of the PA announcer?

Question: Where the hell is he?!!!!!

Ya know, without a PA announcer, the game sort of seems like there's one very popular pick-up game going on.

Even AND 1 games have PA announcers.
