Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

When will cold and hot streaks be taken off teams that are not currently in the playoffs? It's kind of hard to compete online when you pick a team with "down" blue arrows on all the starting five.

Do you guys at the momentum when it comes to contact shots in Live 11? that was one of my biggest gripes with the game apart from the animations.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Are efforts being made to eliminate the automatic defensive foul calls with certain animations? I can't tell you how many times i've played great defense for 22 seconds of the shot clock only for the offense to be bailed out by forcing a contact animation. Little things like that encourage cheesing, and discourage sim players from putting effort into defense.

Also, what are the dev teams focal points for Live 11? Last year it was Dynamic DNA and just correcting 5 on 5 play, when do we hear what it is for this year?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Can i please get an answer to this.

I started a Dynasty with the Knicks. At the beginning of the season I'm doing my training camp workouts and everytime i try to do one with Bill Walker of the Knicks. HE IS INVISIBLE. He is there, you can pass to him, he can dunk, and he can shoot. But he is Invisible. Has anyone else noticed that.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Not really a question


Map the passing icons to the right bumper, that can free up the left trigger to be a modifier for the freestyle dribbling, layup solutions, shooting, post moves, offball controls, passing & rebounding controls
Dribbling- Holding the LT can allow you do things like keep the ball in a certain hand when dribbling, using already lets the left stick lets you switch the ball between hands. So if you hold the left stick you choose to keep the ball in that hand use the RS to do subsequent freestyle dribble moves mapped for that specific hand (things such as in & out dribbles, low “crab” dribbles, around the back dribbles to the other hand). Adding these would really open the up amount of way to break down your defender & give different players different feel when dribbling with them instead on having the same dribbling style for all the players.
Layup Solutions- The left stick already lets you decide as to what hand and what side you want to shoot with so the LT modifier could let you do a number of things such as, jump into your defender & avoid contact. There should also be a system of changing your shot in mid air, switching hands (obviously only skilled players would be able to do things like this on a sort of tiered system or something to that effect). And wayyyyyyyy more animations, I can’t stress this enough, this game needs 1000% more animations when going to the rim.
Shooting- More LT modifier, how about using the LT modifier to do things such as lean in on jumpers, jump into players bodies? Clean up the pump fake system to make it feel more natural (things like players going up on their toes without leaving the ground, having defenders fly by them). More sig shots are a huge must across the board for all players (well maybe 75% and a bunch of other different shots that can be assigned to players). I loved the shots this year, they were all just about perfect. When changing players shots there should be a sort of hud to preview the shot or the ability to change the players that are in the hangar. Delve into the signature thing more with signature fade aways, leaners & floaters. It gets tiresome seeing every player fade away the same. I do love that jumpshot animation editor suggestion, that could be great if implemented well
Post Moves- Where to start lol? The post system has a decent base, it just needs to be opened up way more. Things like post fakes, short hooks, reverse mikan layups, the ability to shoulder/head fake and throw off your defender (LT modifier driven) & that can even work with leaning into the defender on hooks and things like that down low to make it feel more natural, ie. reference to that boozer video above). Sig post moves and fadeaways. When backing down it should be speed up a slight bit and give more of a physical banging feel when trying to back down a defender (or let the LT modify how you want back your defender down whether it be more physical or finesse)
Offball Controls- Not too much to complain about here, just add things like double screens, vcuts,rim runs (big men!) & things like that. Have players cut much harder
Passing- Loved the passing controls, add bounce passes (LT?), loft passes for post players (LT?), Full court passes (only skilled players, Kevin Love, Chris Webber type), Fake passes (would be great on inbound plays)
Rebounding- I didnt mind the rebound system too much, it was just that many times the player would feel helpless once you left the floor to get the rebound, there should be things like fighting/tapping for rebounds, more over the back animations.
Defense- The steal button needs to be overhauled, maybe use the RS again? Hands up charges, ability to ride offensive player on sidelines, more blocking fouls calls off of playing hard on your man, better post entry defense (counteract the lob passes kind of), having the ability to choose if you want to front your man or not down low.

Little things
More loose ball play, it kind of feel like you dont have control when there a loose ball (thing skate 3)
Players going to sidelines when you sub
Better system of onscreen subs
Injuries on court, not just players limping after a shot (make it accumulative)
Better post game environment, player specific higlights
Custom Soundtracks
Make hangar a practice area too, kinda like in fifa 10, Run plays and things
Use NCAA playcall system for specific play sets (triangle, princeton, motion, flex)
Overhaul the create a player and make it very indepth so draft classes can be made correctly
More camera angles

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Please let us play a shorter season during dynasty. I would like to have an option for 29, 54, of 82. It is to hard to play multiple seasons + playoffs with an 82 game season. I don't like to sim because I like the stats to "be mine"
Speaking of stats, please make the dynasty stats better. We don't need Ray Allen shooting 750 three pointers or something like that. Also, I don't want to see Lebron James traded (or really any Elite star either)
Loved the gameplay last year so much I switched from 2k to this.

will there be sliders this year?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

I can't imagine any developer will truly read this thread and answer any questions....

But if by chance we get lucky i don't really have a question it's more of a REQUEST

Can we please have 200+ CAPS in NBA Elite or atleast the ability to edit existing players so some of us can finally bring legends like Jordan and Bird back to life again.............

I mean with all do respect some of us don't give a damn about those International teams taking up disk space......Give us bootie tight shorts and old school chuck taylors and I'll show you what replay value is EA.

Not some dude on a National team representing Spain or Germany. That's not replay value IMO

100% agree, I think i have played international once over the last 2 years. Even if its DLC, i'd pay to have throwback jerseys,courts logos ETC.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

iminurbase, first off thanks for your interaction with everyone! I just started looking through this thread and this question may have been asked, but I'm going to ask it since that I didn't see it anywhere. Is it possible to have online dynasty modes on at least the same level as madden 10? With the drafts, and multiple seasons? I loved live 10 and the only thing that hurt the game to me was the lack of online league features. With that being said, I appreciate the work you guys do and I am anticipating your answer.
