No, not this year.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Is it possible to change the socks color of each player? Cause I can't change it in my edit player.

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.

When you're in position and you're driving in push the left stick away from the hoop as you press X/Square

Really? You've pulled it off? Ok I'll try. Thanks.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

The timing is shaky for runners and floaters. The update is supposed to address that somewhat.

This.

Don't understand why some of these options are there yet we can't even access it.

Any reason why practice gyms and no shot release feedback was implemented this year? You introduced new ways to shoot but we have no way of mastering shooting!

Please respond thanks.

Does Dynamic DNA affects the Team's (CPU Controlled) offense and defense execution while playing against them?

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Dear Devs: I am a 2K gamer who is seriously thinking about going over to NBA Live 10 this year however I have a few concerns.
1. do you have to buy the game brand new to have access to player DNA
2. I have heard some grumblings about rookies and "role" players having generic likenesses and lacking signature tattoos/shooting styles/etc...if this is true will player DNA update their appearances and accessories/signature styles??? 2K does a relatively good job of this, and I was wondering if the DNA system was comparable?
3. I have heard the create a player is less than acceptable...for example, I have heard no matter what you do your player looks like an alien and the tattoo placement/accessory placement is wrong??
4. I have read on these boards that there are only 3 dunk styles, and that they become very repetitive after a while??
5. I read that you cannot edit players..I am assuming that is because player DNA updates anything and everything associated w/ a players looks/accessories/skills/signature style..is this true

anyway, if anyone could honestly answer these Q's it would greatly help my decision to drop 60 bucks on this or stick w/ NBA 2k.

1. No you can buy a 2nd game but to get access to DNA you can buy a license code for US$15 if the copies code hadn't been used.

2. There are generic players who weren't officially signed by the 15th October but DNA updates will alter them to look like their actual player. And any missing tats will generally be added throughout the year. Same with accessories.

3. It could be improved a lot but it isn't totally bad.

4. There are a few more than that you will see more dunks than others though.

5. You can edit players there will be some locked settings for real players but you can still edit them.

Hope that helps answer your questions

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

Any information on if there will be a second patch coming, addressing some of the issues that weren't fixed IE: online fatigue, sub menus and the 3 pt shooting exploits. Also, in terms of fixing some of the problems the patch created? I'm looking forward to a second patch in the future, because if not, this game (online aspect) has become a complete let down for me.

Re: Ask The Devs a Question Thread II

If it's been answered I have not seen it........will the Bobcats home court be patched to feature the correct logo? As a person planning to play a full dynamic season with them, it's a significant annoyance

Thanks, Dragon your reply was a big help...it sounds like most of my concerns will be addressed via player DNA...and it sounds like the create a player is more functional than it has been in years past. I think I may take the plunge and go with Live

We used the reference we got from the NBA. We might be able to DLC at some point, not sure.

Just curious why certain questions get answered, and others don't? I'd think a question about the potential for another patch is a legit question...And it's not only being asked here, it seems to be a common request in a few other threads. It'd be a gracious gesture to at least address that issue, given the last patch has brought an obvious mixed bag of feelings. It's the least a developer or producer could do at this point.

Edit: I'm not trying to be sarcastic and I understand not all questions are worth the time to answer, but the thread is "ask a developer a question" and it's 17 pages long, filled with questions, and I count maybe 6 answers provided by Live reps...You guys had a solid open line of communication, up until 10/6.
