that sucks real bad...I bought both games last year and was surprised that in 2008, this option was not in the game...EA-"If its in the game, Its in the game" should not be the slogan anymore....I was told that this option would appear this year, to my dismay...no import option...When you guys were developing the game, you mean to honestly tell me that not one person thought it was cheesy to have no named rookies when you're coming out with a college bb?...I mean Madden and NCCA fb does it...If you're going to buy out the college series and not allow 2k to make it anymore, then why not add the positives that they had going on?...It seems that the gameplay indeed has bitten off the realism of 2k...I am just disgusted at the EA company for this...the offseason is a total crock of sh^t....I will be trading Live in for college once again...Y'all spent all this time and energy for this dynamic season crap and that matters nothing to gameplay...I don't care how they play in real life, its a game, and I will continue to play it the way I want to....If Tony Parker is known for floaters, but I want to shoot jumpers with him, then so be it I'm shooting jumpers...the dynamic thingy is silly in comparison to having a true offseason...the scouting is even whack....EA needs to rethink its strategies for real....Y'all make too much money off of us to not put effort into these games....sorry for my rant, just disgusted at EA at the moment...

If you think that he drives that, you're out of your mind.

Blogs galore my friend.

Out to get me huh? pure nonsense Like I said before the people are speaking and my friends list went from being 90% Live to 70% 2K

Maybe thats why you have to buy DNA codes when purchasing a used game to recover from the beating you take in sales

Oh well at least I get to pick bron brons shoes in Adidas live run

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Will an NBA game ever get the motions of blocks and steals correct? Im going to try to explain what I want to see in a Bball game one day:

To map the L stick to where when you move it in a certain direction your hand and arm move in that direction and when you press X (for a steal) or Y (for a block) thats where your hand will go? I think that would be the best and most realistic method to making steals and blocks feel more true to life. of course you would have to have multiple animations for whatever direction you press the L stick. Or maybe you guys can map that functionality to the right stick. Instead of having just one random animation for a steal (which most of the time the player is not giving you the right animation) You'll have more than enough. It would make playing D fun because it would become a read a react feel. Where i move my stick should determine where i move my hands to make a steal, block. Also if this is too much can the controls be more responsive?

I like this idea and it sounds familiar, possible to a previous Live. I don't remember but I think that the L1 trigger (PS3) should be a steal modifier button and the right joystick can serve as to which side you want to steal I posted on the feedback site how there should be more control on D to give more rhyme or reason and more of a chess match. I put in better steals and steal animations but didn't put my more extensive brain on in regards to how it can better fleshed out with controls the only thing is that. U just reminded me how I wanted up and under/double clutch controls, too. I still have to update my list, though, but Marcus, my dude, how about this for Live 11...unless you guys can patch this in for Live 10?

There is unless I'm totally missing something. (Mike?)

When you see the red spot, you go there to initiate the play. Sometimes if you pass the ball to that player, a black spot appears and the recieving player must go there to extend the play. The marker tells you where to move to create space for the cut, roll, curl, etc.

I think you're right, Marcus.

I can see there's no point with you my man, and I'm not going to take the bait. I'll let you believe what you want to.

I hope you enjoy LIVE.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

im on the ps3, why do player models look so horrible and rough edged when the camera zooms in to them, eg after a foul.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

congrats for moving on up. this game is simply the best one out right now.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Is the fade away 3 point glitch being patched. I played against this guy today who just ran back n forth with one player untill he did the 3 point fade away shot. Unless you block it, it has a 95 % chance of going in. He scored 64 points total with one guy and hit 20 3 pointers. I have the gamertag if anybody wants to play against him to see what im talking about.

Can you see the box scores of other games? I can't seem to find it.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Marcus, you guys finally separated the hair from the face so the hairstyles will update during the season right? Because Nash and Iverson are back to their old looks. And real quick, why didn't you guys fix the Knicks arena check in table? It was correct in Live 07' only. It is split into 3 pieces, not 1 long piece. Any chance at a fix? Thanks!

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Is the PAL version of the game different than the NTSC one because I've read about an intro where Mos Def is meant to be talking but the only intro I get is a slideshow of Dwight Howard.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Control over floaters and the 3pt turnarounds are being addressed in the patch. I'll post the full gameplay release notes in a couple weeks.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

What kind of question is that?

He drives a lamborghini diablo....

haha thanks for answering the question steph :P

Nice job on Live; I'm really enjoying it.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Will the 'suction' animation on drives be addressed? It's pretty annoying to run into what looks like an open lane, only to be magically tethered to a defender.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Will there be a stat reset for online rankings since ranked games have been pretty much broken from the start (no fatigue, cpu autosubs always on, few fouls called, etc.)?
