Seems to be a lack of charging fouls now. I'm not sure if it was like that before the patch but even with the slider all the way up it's pretty shady.

Pared or 23

Maybe we can get an entirely new thread going post patch on the PS3? Only for gameplay impressions on the PS3?

The PS3 patch has the exact same bugs as the 360 version (have been told)...so, there's no real point clogging this thread up with another 100 odd posts about bugs once it drops soon.

A gameplay only PS3 thread would be useful to get everyone's views on what's changes in the PS3 version...solely gameplay.

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

It's the same exact patch, though?

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

It's the same exact patch, though?

I've been told from a (very) reliable source that it's the same...same bugs etc.

So...I am anticipating this thread is going to be derailed by freezing complaints, end game AI complaints, O/T bugs etc.

Which was fair enough for the 360...but now that we know there's going to be a second patch for both, seems pointless to make comments on it etc. Gameplay impressions would be good though. I won't have much time to play a lot late this week, but I'm sure everyone would like to know what's changed gameplay wise on the PS3.

Side note: Has there ever been a patch before where you knew the bugs and knew there would be another patch to fix them? It's kind of a unique situation. The patch to fix the patch is coming...LOL

Let's see how it goes first. I think PS3 owners are anticipating the problems we already stated.

If it gets out of hand, we'll lock this down, and start a new one with all that info. outlined. I'm not closed to the idea, just want to play it by ear first.

Fair enough

I think everyone knows to expect the bugs...so people will probably not be too active posting about them / angry etc anyway.

I think I'm going to just take the attitude from 2011 on that Madden comes out in late November and the NBA games come out in December...d/l the final patches first day and roll on. LOL

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

PS3 patch is out, but no NCAA Demo.




Played a game Spurs vs Blazers and so far not one problem. The gameplay feels alot better and I can notice the game speed tuned down and even defense feels tighter. Game felt so sloppy before the patch with game speed to fast and all the turnovers and steals. Its way toned down.

I can finally throw the ball down low to a big man and post up instead of hoping my guy would post up or have him fumble the ball like he was Keith Vanhorn.

Only 1 game played but I wanted to post something. Its 3am Ill probly play a bunch more games b4 I call it a nite. I really hope that this ps3 patch plays out diffrent and better then the 360 patch.

Just d/led it also...and agree with your comments. This is after just a few mins...but it's instantly noticeable how much 'tigher' everything is + the more realistic speed.

I also freaking LOVE having the back down button back

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

Just got done with game 2 for play now. Feels like all the players were given -45 agaility or something like that, and also noticed a delay or alittle lag in everything which was never there before. The control felt like I was playing someone online, but I was offline. I played Raptors vs Mavs and the cpu did alot of dumb things. Dirk fired a handful of 3s like 4,6,8ft back of the 3pt line fading away with a full shot clock. Cpu was up by 2 in 4th Q with 28 secs left in game and 22 secs left on shot clock and terry shoots a faded away 20 ft jumper tripple teamed.

No freezing or anything so Im happy so far. Just hoping nobody encounters that OT bug.

They did something major to the gameplay besides drop the speed down. My gut says the agility was droped big time. Its more real so Im not mad about it just got to get use to it.

So nice to post up though get double teamed and kick out out.

One thing that bothers me though is when you pump fake the cpu and they bite they still are right on you.

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

Game feels so much tighter now...no more losing the ball in traffic repeatedly, ball handling feels smooooth. Nice

Rebounding is tighter, movement feels way less like ice skating.

I've had one complete lock up though already...

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

Just downloaded the patch (PS3) and played a quick game with the Bulls Vs the Cavs on Pro with default sliders.

With all the bad comments I wasnt expecting to be that pleased.. but so far I can honestly say I have seen nothing but good changes from this patch. I dont know if the overtime bug is in there but the game feels a lot better overall and looks a lot better in motion too.

• Much smoother
• Rebounding is much much better and feels realistic
• Blocking and contesting is much much better and more realistic
• Post game feels a lot more solid and controlable
• Ball handling moves feel better
• CPU is more agressive and plays with more purpose
• The ball doesnt seem to float as much, noticeable on long range hurls - more realistic.
• Runners and tear drops much easier to do
• Fat big men like Shaq dont seem to get off the ground as much, looks and feels more realistic on rebound and dunking.

In the one game i've played this seems like a very good patch. I havent seen the OT bugs and stuff yet but as far as gameplay goes it feels like a good improvement, the greately improved rebounding and blocking really help the flow and realism of the game. I cant see how this patch has ruined the game or made it unplayable (as some have claimed) at all

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

DLing now, here goes nothing...

Can anyone comment on the perimeter players stepping in too far on penetrate n pitch/kickout type situations?

[ehh]

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

Quick impressions of default All-Star...

The game is easily better, OS is so funny with it's over reactions. A few tweaks will def be needed in the 2nd patch though.

- The game is smoother, some animations looks a lot better and the transition from animation to animation is better.

- Rebounding is better, saw a more natural offensive rebound. Guys who look like they should get the rebound when the ball is in mid-air do wind up with it from what I can tell. Pre-patch it was dumb, my guy would have great position AND be a better rebounder in terms of rating but for some reason he wouldn't get the board on the offensive glass.

- Contact in the paint and FT's!! Yes, the biggie for me. This is completely fixed in terms of what I wanted.

- Steals and interceptions look smoother.

- Controls feel a little better/more responsive.

- CPU pushes the ball up the court a lot more

GRIPES:

- Along with the CPU pushing the ball up the court the CPU definitely looks for too many quick jumpers. One pass, jumper. Two passes, jumper. Kick out off an off rebound (oh crap I didn't even notice it happened until I just typed this) and immediate jumper. This doesn't happen all the time as the CPU will go to the hoop (KD has taken 4 FT's against me in 7 minutes already) and will run plays but it should be tweaked in the 2nd patch.

Right now it feels like the CPU AI isn't quite sure when to stop attempting a fastbreak/look for a quick shot and run a set. So far about 60% of the CPU's possessions have been a quick shot after a pass or two, definitely not ideal.



Overall Patch 1 is definitely nice. Had a couple kickout type plays and my guys stayed behind the 3pt line which is awesome to see. So far so good, it'll be interesting after more time with the game to see how things look.

BTW: Knicks fans, did they just add the "Danillllo Gallinaaari" to the PA at MSG in this game? I don't remember hearing it pre-patch and it's pretty damn obvious (and kinda annoying haha) when you hear it IRL. I don't think I woulda missed it if it was in Live.

Dang... I've got class right now. I feel like saying I've got bowel problems so I can go DL this right now lol.

Mr T says I should stay in school though.

[ehh]

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

Another thing is that the loose ball logic is better in terms of your CPU teammates. Pre-patch I felt like the CPU got to almost every loose ball and were way more aggressive in pursuing it while your CPU teammates sat there doing nothing. There were two lose balls in my first quarter of testing and my CPU teammate hustled and got both balls - I don't think I saw that a single time pre-patch.
