Any hope on that Iminurbase?

Re: HELP NEEDED NEW USER

I wish they had the hotspots too, but I remember seeing a post (on here i believe), where someone listed an nbalive website where they stil updated the hotspots daily, as it's still a part of the dynamic DNA. Let me do a little searching and pull it up

EDIT: found it http://www.nba.com/hotspots/

I was told directly by iminurbase that all hotspot code was completely removed in Live 10 and was not part of the game...BUT, I doubt the truth of that, as I see way too many people online hit ridiculous 3's with defenders right on them...certain players will make WAY too many shots from the corner 3 area of the court...even when heavily contested by a defender, and the only thing I can think of that is causing this is the existence of a hot spot in the corner 3 area of the court.

I personally think hotspots are a terrible thing, as it makes it too arbitrary as to whether your shot goes in. I'm sorry, but If I shoot with a good outside shooter and he's wide open, he should make the shot, it shouldn't matter if he's on a hot spot or not...a good shooter shouldn't miss just because he's not standing in a hot spot...

on the other side, a shooter shouldn't be able to make insane contested shots just because he's shooting from one of his hot spots. If the shot is contested, it should miss. Hot spots just completely go against what video games are about as it makes shot success predetermined and not based on strategy and getting open looks. with a hot spot system, shot success basically becomes as easy as running to a "magical" spot and jacking up shots with no regard for whether you're guarded or not. it allows dummies and lazy people to score without thinking at all.

basically, it should be as simple as this: if a player is a good mid-range shooter, he should be able to make an open mid range shot from anywhere in mid range. he shouldn't have to be standing on a specific area of the court in order to make an open shot. basically, the only thing that should matter is if he's open and is shooting within his range.

Youd be amazed at the shooting discrepencies that players have on one side of the floor, vs. others.

John Hollinger on espn.com does a excellent job of tracking that, and I beleive 82games.com does as well.

Players are simply more comfortable shooting from certain spots of the floor.
