Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Very Simple,

iminurbase, I am one of the biggest fans of this game. I love it. 3 Things!

1. Quick subs for OTP. 3 years in a row, you have made it mandatory to pause the games to make subs for OTP. It kills the gameplay. Please, make it d-pad subs for OTP.

2. Bring back All-star teams for OTP.

3. for subs on OTP, please turn off auto-subs. I know you added it this year, but get rid of it. The point of a sub is to play with who you want, not have the player who was on before return.

Please acknowledge that you have seen this! Thanks!

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Hey, I was wondering if you guys can fix the matchups, because a lot of times when you want a certain person to play on someone, it won't work. Say for example, to use a real life illustration, when Boston was playing Cleveland the other night, they put Rondo on LeBron, now if I was to replicate that in Live, it wouldn't work because for some reason Rondo wouldn't leave his man or at worst he and his man would be doubling LeBron and no rotation over to Mo Williams would happen. So can you fix that

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Thanks for the answer.

Another question. Do you plan on tweaking anything or adding new categories for Dynamic DNA? If so, can you give an example?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Cool thing about the defense, but will the go-to-moves be back in 11. That was the best part about 08-09, but you guys took out most of them in 10, especially Kobe's fadeaway and KG's shimmy fadeaway.

Actually...i do not like name these moves as "go to move" ....sounds like cheating^^
i hope it's called signature moves(shots, post moves, layups, and dunks)

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

in Live 11, can we change coaching options (offense, rebounding, pick and roll D) in start menu also rather than just the D-pad coaching window?

Thanks so much. Please tell the Dev team about #1. It really needs to be in. I'm sure you can understand the frustration with waiting 30 seconds every single quarter. This needs to be developed!

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

will live 11 be better than live 05 is my main question. i still play that game to this *** because it was so kick ***

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

-Will there be inbounds plays and abilty to set up plays from ****outs like last second 3's and quick 2's...?

-Will you be getting rid of the force field that stops you from getting up to players some****s?

-*****ing back allstar modes?

-Tone down contested 3's and where people just sprint back and forth till they get open from 3(force field comes into play here...)

-Put back dunks?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

iminurbase, you have no clue how much I appreciate your participation in the community. 2K is never this hands on with the members.

Briefly, 3 things that must be added!

1. Kick Balls
2. Clear Path Fouls (Really ridiculous when you get fouled on a wide open fast break, and no penalty to the other team is given)
3. Players get up off of the bench to the scorers table when their substitution is called.

And I was thinking about the team play subs that I mentioned earlier. If D-pad subs are really unattainable, then why not have it like FIFA. The captain (or anyone else on the team) pauses the game to make the subs, but the game doesn't stop, just that players menu comes up. Therefore, the game doesn't stop for 30 sec. and the game can continue on smoothly with no interruption! Please run these by the guys! Live 11 will be the best NBA game to date, I know it!

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

there has been some discussion in another thread regarding hotspots in Live - the thread is titled:"http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-new-user.html" (click for the link).

I was told directly by iminurbase that all hotspot code was completely removed in Live 10 and was not part of the game...BUT, I doubt the truth of that, as I see way too many people online hit ridiculous 3's with defenders right on them...certain players will make WAY too many shots from the corner 3 area of the court...even when heavily contested by a defender, and the only thing I can think of that is causing this is the existence of a hot spot in the corner 3 area of the court.

I personally think hotspots are a terrible thing, as it makes it too arbitrary as to whether your shot goes in. I'm sorry, but If I shoot with a good outside shooter and he's wide open, he should make the shot, it shouldn't matter if he's on a hot spot or not...a good shooter shouldn't miss just because he's not standing in a hot spot...

on the other side, a shooter shouldn't be able to make insane contested shots just because he's shooting from one of his hot spots. If the shot is contested, it should miss. Hot spots just completely go against what video games are about as it makes shot success predetermined and not based on strategy and getting open looks. with a hot spot system, shot success basically becomes as easy as running to a "magical" spot and jacking up shots with no regard for whether you're guarded or not. it allows dummies and lazy people to score without thinking at all. it basically makes defense completely worthless, since a guy can just run to his hot spot and jack up contested shots and make them even if they're contested. It also makes it way too hard to get good open shots, because you could be passing the ball around and get a wide open shot for a good shooter, but he will miss simply because he wasn't in his hot spot.

So, my question regarding hotspots...even though iminurbase claims that hotspots are gone, could there still be some hidden hot spot code left in the game? I really think there is still some type of hot spot B.S. going on, as I will see players make way too many contested 3's from certain areas of the court - they seem unstoppable when shooting from these spots...even if they are double teamed and contested.

basically, it should be as simple as this: if a player is a good mid-range shooter, he should be able to make an open mid range shot from anywhere in mid range. he shouldn't have to be standing on a specific area of the court in order to make an open shot. basically, the only thing that should matter is if he's open and is shooting within his range.
