Ask the devs : Controls (Offense and Defense)

Re: Ask the devs : Controls (Offense and Defense)

During what parts of gameplay does the controller vibrate? I would like it to vibrate during any contact and when a defender is contesting my shot. The intensity of the vibration should depend on how well they are contesting it.

Oh I like that.. Another factor to make it hard on contested shots.

I agree, I think P-Dub has a great idea. Especially in situations where the devs don't want the situation to shrink the sweet spot but let the player feel the pressure themselves. I'd like vibrations at the line with Vince Carter in the playoffs lol

Yes its a great idea especially for late game situations may get kind of annoying in regular gameplay though..

Great to hear clear path fouls have been added in to the game this year.

I like the idea PDub

I like the idea PDub

i think it would actually be annoying. i mean, if im shooting a game winner im going to be nervous enough. rumble on dunks in traffic and blocking fouls/charges would be good enough for me.

welcome to the NBA then is what I say if you can't handle the pressure of a big shot then have it as an optional setting I guess.

It should'nt be optional since the game is all skilled based, gamers would just have to get them stick skills up.

when i play basketball and a guy contests my shot i don't "rumble". however, when i go for a layup and i get bumped i do "rumble". that's why your idea is a bad idea.

Re: Ask the devs : Controls (Offense and Defense)

Good points. I remember a discussion with the devs about how much defensive pressure should shrink the sweet spot during jumpshots. They said if they shrink the sweet spot too much, they are putting "fear" into the virtual player, rather than the user, which goes away from the control being put into the users hands.

With that said, would rumbling during a contest with no contact involved make the shot more difficult? I think so, because it could cause your thumb to move slightly in another direction, losing accuracy. What about the people who immerse themselves in the game and screw their timing up when they see their shot is being contested well? They wouldn't need or like the vibration.

Vibration during any contact is a must, at the bare minimum.

Statements like that really scare me about these dev's. Their concept of basketball seems off a little IMO. I've seen the dev's mention this idea of how much affect does contesting the shot really have on the shooter in other threads and the fact they don't think it should reduce the sweet spot much, and it scares me for this game. You talking about the complaints from last year that the defense doesn't matter being even worst. This is looking like it could be a shot stick contest or moving H-O-R-S-E, where the only real defense is blocking the shot. Being that one can't physically block ones view of the basket like a Shane Battier what else will a hand in the face do if it doesn't seriously reduce the sweet spot.

they have said many times that the sweet spot will be reduced significantly being gaurded. the only thing they have said is that they don't want it to be impossible top make it, and that things like fear should be left in the hands of the user.

Currently the controller vibrates during contact and when the shot clock is running down (if I remember correctly).

I like the contest idea, although we'd have to try it out and make sure there wasn't too much vibration going on.

rEAnimator: If you are on a fastbreak with Rondo, is there any chance we will see the hard ball fake he does in Elite? jw....If not could it be looked at for next yr?

Re: Ask the devs : Controls (Offense and Defense)

Can you tell us anything about off ball control for this year? Hopefully it's still in the game.

Thanks
