Can someone tell me if the phantom double teams has been fixed?

i only played 1 game last night, 12 min-qtrs. i changed around my defensive matchup settings and didn't see this occur (atleast I think it was triggered by that). it's only been one game but i didn't see the double teams, so here's hoping it was actually fixed!

why should we have to guess what the patch addresses? Where are our patch notes?

I'm not understanding the whole "run around and launch threes" issue.

Anybody can do that. I can go out and play with all my buddies and do that.

You can do that on the "other" game. You could do that on Live 8. Again, anyone can do that.

BUT, are you saying they're making a higher percentage than normal? If THAT'S the case, then, yes, we could have a problem.

Just cause someone shoots 30 3pters, that itself is not the game's fault. That's just dumb opponents.

Your point is "half" right. I wish people would read the whole thread and most replies before they try to repeat what someone else has already said...Look, you're right, if someone jacks up 30 threes, its not the games fault. But if the shot is successful 50% of the time, it is the games fault. There are no penalties for guys who play like this and it's in the games dna to have high octane 3 point shooters hit more than they miss. THEY NEED TO BE PENALIZED FOR THIS TYPE OF GAMEPLAY. No player in the NBA is going to jack up 30 three's and hit half of them. Like I said before, you'd need to play close to a full 48 minutes to even get that many GOOD shots and even then take fatigue into account as far as the success rate of those shots go. And this game does not take that into affect.

You're awfully demanding.

This patch is supposed to address the OT Glitch. That's about all we know. I would think they addressed fatigue in online play as well, if possible.

Played Rewind game in my dynamic season this morning, and I still like how the game plays!
No complaints here (just props...love NBA Live this year)!

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch #2 Available For 360, Post Impressions Here

i think it mainly focused on

1. OT/goaltending problem
2. online fatigue back in ranked matches
3. inbound glitch

i guess it is working cuz people dont even have time to come here and tell us if those problems are for sure fixed....

That's good to hear. I hope that stays that way, as that was the only real complaint I had about Live this year.

there is a bug, when i guard the cpu close outside the 3 pointer, he will take one step back and launch a 3 pointer, i hope this one is gone!?

i have seen it 3 times post patch out of maybe 20 games, it was done by weak offensive players, i bumped star players they just carried on,i bumped A. johnson on the magic he pulled but it wasn't a 3

Someone already posted in this thread that they did not see that after the patch.

It's going to take some time before people can get some solid impressions with the patch. Edit - Never mind, carnal just posted he saw it.

There's your answer.

Wow, took me longer to read through all this than to play 12 min quarter game, LOL. I am a big personal responsibility advocate so keep that in mind when reading my post.

First out my limited experience with Patch #2 I'd say it's a major improvement. About 70% back towards pre-patch #1.

1. Still doesn't punish you for over dribbling but it does punish you for running into the lane w/at least some idea of what you're going to do, just not as much as pre-patch #1.

2. The auto protect the ball is still there but I tested it on a couple and pick and rolls and it's not as much of a problem anymore.

3. Jumpshots seem harder to make now, but they may be that I haven't played since the early days of patch #2

4. Suction D seems to be gone, YIPPEE!!!

4.a. Cat and mouse D (playing the angles) seems to be back for the most part! yippee!

I really hope the devs don't read this thread to seek advice as to what to do with Live 11. There are guys who simply can't play complaining about stuff that would really screw the game up. (Sorry, nothing personal) R1 magnetic field!? R1 is just supposed to be something to help (operative word is HELP) you play D not play it for you. Let go of R1 back off of your check (unless you're much faster than he is) when he's moving and close out when he shoots! On Ball Defense 101. Why on earth would they make it so that we'd hold a button down and watch the CPU play D for us? Shucks if they do that why even have to hold the button down, why not just let the CPU take over on D? It's not that hard to defend the cheese 3pt shots or any jumpers for that matter. Use it to your advantage that you know no matter where he runs you know where his goal is and just back up a little and keep yourself between him and the basket (that will require minor sliding side to side not cat-like reflexes) and then close out on the shot with the proper timing. One quick hint is that the proper time to make him miss isn't as soon as he releases the ball unless he's real close to the basket. Personal responsibility dictates that when one reaches an unfavorable result that he ask himself what did I do wrong not blame it on something someone else did, even if it's their fault.

Sorry for the rant but I just fear that the complainers will turn Live into 2K then I'll have nothing to play. It's been that way since patch #1 now it's back to being playable for me. One other question for you guys that give EA business advice: How many of you run a business?

One last impression is that the flow and feel to the game is back in the direction of pre-patch #1, YIPPEE!!!!!! Sorry for my tone in this post but I feel that the complainers contributed to Patch #1 and I don't want them to contribute to Live 11, especially after all the progress that was made in Live 10 (at launch)

You can only go back to the way the game was off the disc.

You'd have to clear your cache. A quick internet search will show you how to do that. This will clear all patches you've ever downloaded as well.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch #2 Available For 360, Post Impressions Here

ok, but after that can i get the first patch or will it just update both of them at once.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch #2 Available For 360, Post Impressions Here

It would do both patches... whenever you get a game late (i.e. Madden) and it has 2 patches, they both come when you sign in the first time. You can't play online without the most current patch either.
