NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)

When baskets are goaltended, points are not awarded. Very annoying, especially if the game ends up being close.

Another example of bad late game AI post-patch, which happened to me.

Boston is leading by 1 with 20 seconds left... and intentional fouls me to send me to the stripe twice. I made both to go up by 1 point; CPU scores to go up by 1, then proceeds to intentional foul me again.

Here's a video with the first intentional fouls... score & time are there if you check the link.

After seeing this I wonder what is gonna happen when the CPU is up on me in a close one???? Scary thought after this vid

I'm not sure what to make of this patch yet. Just finished my first game and although the gameplay felt better overall, there are some weird things happening. I guess that's the nature of patches...they fix once thing and break other things. Check out Chris Paul in these videos...all in the first half.

Wow Really

One More Time

I also agree with the other guys here....the CPU is shooting way too early in the shot clock. Not even running plays....just chucking shots. I think the game itself feels smoother and plays better, but the AI is just horrible now.

That's a problem I'm running into too. Way too many stupid 3-pt attempts.

I only played 1 1/2 games and didn't see anything that stood out to me, but the long time posters and video evidence is beginning to make me wonder what they even did on this patch.

Shame

What looked so promising, is sliding worse and worse.

These are my exact feelings right now. I have not seen anything truly WHACKED but I got a funny feeling it's coming and it's coming sooner than later and I am gonna find myself really ticked. I hope they get things worked out and fast. The game has tons of potential.

Thank the heavens that someone else other than me FINALLY posted an example of some stupid late game clock management by the AI.

It's there, and I know it always seemed to some of you that I was posting it just to trash the game. It's there, and I keep seeing it. Been this way for 2 years now.

I played a couple post patch games last night. I actually won a game on AS but didn't really notice much of a difference. Especially as I watched Joakim Noah do the old 360 dribble move in the lane into a turn around 13 foot jumper that of course found the bottom of the net. Ridiculous. GET THAT *HIT OUT OF THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's exactly what Oden did to me last night that I mentioned earlier.

Watch the language, please.

That's annoying but what's worse then that is when Noah does a hop step from a stand still and has not even dribbled yet. This game really makes me mad w/ all the traveling that happens because of the anim blending.

Too many animations are triggered even when the player can no longer dribble. Or the game will force you to take 3 extra steps on a layup just force you into a contact shot animation.

Its things like this that just ruin a game for me especially when it leads to a ridiculous shot for the CPU or bad shot for me.

How long does it normally take a PS3 patch to arrive after the 360 one ? Seems crazy to me, in fact I just assumed they would be posted simultaneously.

I tend to agree, the more I play the less I am impressed.
I'm really not sure what the heck they patched ... and it seems like the few differences I am seeing make it seem as though the patch made the game worse, not better.
I need to play a few more games before I say that definitively, but so far I am not impressed with this patch at all.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)

LOL, I remember the update when I bought my game so this would be #2

That first patch was just a Microsoft thing. Nothing to do with EA.

Marcus said so when it came out.

In light of your comments in the other thread I had to lock, you may just want to implement some more strategic elements when playing against the CPU on AS or above:

-Call timeouts if the score is getting out of hand in a close game

-Run plays for different guys

These things ALWAYS help me when the CPU goes on a run. I can "feel it" slipping away so I usually go to someone who hasn't shot much and try and get them an open look. It seems the game rewards you for this.

I just passed out of a layup for the first time.

I call so many different plays it hurts, but my go-to guys are still supposed to be my go-to guys.

Yes, that does work I do the same thing. It is one thing I really like about this game, just like real life NBA teams go on runs all the time. You have to have a strategy to win at this game. I just wish the computer would call timeouts a little quicker when i go on runs to combat me a little more.
