is anyone else hating the online game now?

[joel0078]

I need to vent: And before anyone replies, don't reply to me about the offline experience, because I'm only referring to online games.

Thanks to the developers for ruining the ONLINE game IMO, after releasing this patch. My online games have gone from a high level of fun to not even wanting to play online anymore. Let me explain why:
-More fouls were supposed be addressed in the patch... Where are they? Cause I'm definitely not getting the calls when I play. I'll tell you what happens now: I'm driving to the lane, having a collision, no foul called and no point, or I'm blocked. Before the patch, it felt like a drive to the lane with no foul called would result in a bucket more times than not. And while it isn't realistic, it seemed to counter off the fact there was no foul called. Now they take that away, decrease the likelihood the basket drops and then not add a foul on top it, but say they added more fouls???

-Fatigue was supposed to be added online, nope that's not there either.

-I do believe the 3 point fade away exploit is gone, but I couldn't believe it when I played a guy today who used the Magic and shot 11-21 (3's) with Jameer Nelson...Nelson finished with 35 shots total, 52% 3 point field goal and scored 45 points..His next highest scorer had 6 points...All this guy did was laugh, everytime he scored with Nelson, because he knew he was cheating me..Talk about frustrating.

-Before the patch dropped, I was using the Lakers to combat guys who took the cavs and magic. I was shooting in the low to mid 30% three point shots, with the team, mostly with Fisher. Now, I can't get Fisher to hit a 3 to save my life. I'm not shooting in the mid to upper 20s, as far as 3 point % goes. What the heck EA?

-They were supposed to take out the whole passing into the backcourt or passing to a player standing out of bounds? I don't think so. I'm still seeing this happen on a regular basis.

I've suddenly gone from loving the online game to hating it, within a matter of 4 days. I can't speak for the dynasty version, although I've read they removed overtime, which is completely unacceptable and I won't even consider starting a dynasty until that's fixed.

Is anyone else feeling like this, again, in terms of online play only?

Yep, I haven't played since the patch either. And while some good things were done in the patch including toning down the step back 3. 3pt % is still way way way way too high for me.

Once they fix the 3pter's going in all game long with any and everyone and fix the defensive force field along with fatigue not only working but actually meaning something as far as game play this will be one of the best NBA games I've ever played but until then I'll pass.

P.S. Get rid of the auto ball protect. Map it back to the R stick like it was in Live 09.

P.S. Map the user off ball control buttons and the icon passing button different, as of now the 2 are basically the same and for those that have no desire to use off ball control it really messes up the game when your player comes off a screen is wide open and you try to icon pass the ball to him only to switch off to control him. FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!

Ok, I know I don't suck at this game. For the most part, I have down the players shooting release times for the teams I play with. Having said that, I just played a guy who took the Lakers, subbed in all of his scrubs for the first half and scored 8-10 three point shots with Shannon Brown! Are you kidding me?

1-you crying cause fouls not being called..they've never been called..

2-you crying cause of fatigue...there hasn't been fatigue since the beggining

4-you can't hit a shot with Fisher??? GET BETTER!!!!! PRACTICE HIS TIMING!!!

5- Weren't yo able to win with the passing to backcourt thing before the patch??? then why cry about it now???

Let me break this down for you third grade style, maybe that way you will come away with a better understanding: The things that I mentioned were supposed to be fixed with the patch. The things that I mentioned weren't fixed with the patch, and the patch has caused an offset of other problems, speaking for ONLINE games. Ok little buddy? There, now you understand, in the simplest terms possible. Someone lock this up please, I'd rather not deal with trolls like this guy who have nothing productive to say.

Re: is anyone else hating the online game now?

You have no sense. End of story. If you don't have anything productive or worth saying, please stop posting. Thanks.

WHy do you think no one else has posted??....if you're accusations would have more of an objective base...but they don't, yo only whining cause you can't win

seriously, this needs to be locked. You're wrong. Other people are complaining about the same problems, just not in this specific thread that I started. I should have been more responsible and listed my OBJECTIVE reasoning, in the proper forum. Thanks for giving this particular thread so much attention though, it's nice to know you care so much!

I have not played after the patch yet. I don't expect much to be changed online.

They still did not add fatigue? LOL joke

You say the kid was hitting to many threes, but you could not hit any? WTF? Fix or unfixed?
I doubt they actually fixed much online (ie. NHL) and they *** **** need to.

As far as I can tell the fade away three exploit has been fixed. However, it appears that there are certain players who just don't miss threes for whatever reason, and everyone and their brother is using them online. Mo Williams, Nelson and Kapono seem to be the most outrageous. And so I'm clear, I'm not talking about spot up uncontested shots, I'm talking just caught the ball with a defender in your face contesting, three point shot...swish. I can deal with that though, but what I can't deal with is making it harder to score on the drive and not adding any fouls to those animations, to counter these 3 point chuckers. Pre patch you could use a size up and drive with your star, most likely you get a bucket, which sorta countered the cheesers in a way, but also could be abused at times.... But now, you drive, get sucked into a collision animation, miss the shot EVERYTIME and then no foul is called on top of that.

They didn't add online fatigue, bumped up the defense so that it (IMO) overpowers good offense, added fouls (from what I can tell, only in the paint directly under the hoop area).

They "fixed" all these little things and put out this huge list but the truth is most of these "fixed" problems weren't even noticed or weren't that big of a problem to begin with (with the exception of a few). They ignored MOST of the serious problems, which I identified as being the most common complaints on this site...fatigue, sub menu, subs and the abuse of the 3.

EDIT: I just got a loss from a game that should have gone into OT. There was no OT and I notched a LOSS. This was in an online ranked game too

[pezone]

Re: is anyone else hating the online game now?

the no OT problem has appeared before...it happens when you have a goaltending against you, for some reason after the patch goaltendings don't appear as a score on your scoreboard..but the cpu does count it

so, even if you don't see it been scored...it has been scored, so when a game appears to be tied...it's really not, cause that past goaltending was scored!!

a bit confusing, im sorry

See......this I have a MAJOR PROBLEM with.........

I can live with step back 3's, no fatigue, players receiving passes out of bounds.

But games not going to OT in a ranked online match ???????? That's just nuts. Whatever is causing it...goaltending or no goaltending whatever......thats just not right and needs to be fixed ASAP.

I'm on PS3 and do not have the patch yet.....but if this is true the game online is worthless. You shouldn't have to keep track in your mind "Well, they had the 2 goaltending calls this game, therefor the game is not really tied but I'm actually up by 1."

Again, I hope this is not true. I'm on PS3 and dont have the patch yet but IMO this is a game killer.

[The Radness]

Re: is anyone else hating the online game now?

PS3 or Xbox......no patch yet for the PS3 maybe today(29th)

edit: saw Mintsa mentioned the PS3 thing
