Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)
Alrighty, I am getting more comfortable with the post patch flow and pace, and my venom isnt as fierce now. They did a lot of good things.
I'm also (hold on to your seats), getting a decent disparity between user and CPU fouls. Left stick, left stick, left stick.
I'm a little sketchy with a few things though
1) post game: This right stick click thing is getting in my way. I have been playing in the post without it, as it seems like you still, and the option to click the stick, is just that..an option.
The problem is that I am seeing my guys go into a post back down animation when I do not want them to, and just want to pull off a normal drive.
---passes out of the post are now kind of erratic. I used to be able to spot up a guy off ball or send a cutter, and pass to him out of a double team, but sometimes control gets hijacked from me, and the guy I have posting up decides he wants to shoot the ball, just when I am ready to pass, or send trhe cutter.
I'm also seeing passes out of the post bounce off of the ground for turnovers. I'm using Tim Duncan, who is an excellent passer out of the post.
I am scoring primarily off of up and unders..I cannot perform a drop step to save my life...and my face up finishes at the rim are futile.
2) shot contest-- did they change this? there seems to be a deliberate delay now. My Y button press doesnt seem enarly as responsive.
3) Generally speaking, I feel like some degree of control has been taken from me. I felt like i was in control of my player's movements nearly all of the time pre patch.
This has always been one of my favorite things about live. I rarely felt that a guy didnt try to do sopmething I specifically wanted him to do. Now I'm seeing some some canned "sucked in the vortex" annimations happening now, that werent happening before.
4) the CPU tends to go into NBA 2k9 mode now. they have a burning desire to force passes into traffic, which leads to cheap turnovers and face breaks for me.
