That reminded me... the retired jersey's and stuff...

Have you noticed numbers retired in the rafters, and if so are you not allowed to have players on the team with those numbers? (Like if you tried to change Billup's number to 4 or something)

Thanks man. Really picky... I know. But I was just curious as to whether of not the inclusion of retired jerseys actually translated to the game.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Re: NBA Live 2004 Impressions

It took me quite a bit of time to get those movies last night, so I didn't get to play too much. I can still answer some questions tho, so fire away.

I've noticed some things while playing last night tho. The AI sometimes has all of it's players on one side of the court. Meaning, occassionally you'll see all 5 players on the left or right side of the court and there is a big logjam of players on that side. Sometimes, it's only for a few seconds, other times it's almost for the entire posession. It kinda bugged me since I noticed it a few times last night.

I played the Lakers last night and again, Shaq didn't touch the ball much. Not a good sign, since that is now 2 games where he didn't touch the ball much. He ended up w/ 14 points, but he never looked like he was "Part of the Offense"....Most of the points were from Offensive rebounds he had, and I didn't cover him, thinking maybe that was the issue the first game. I guarded Kobe for the most part and held him to 12-26 shooting. There are plenty of sliders to mess w/ so maybe if you find the right mix, Shaq can get the ball more, not sure.....It's wierd playing the Lakers and NOT having to worry about Shaq. Of course this is only 2 games vs. the Lakers, so it still could be fluky. All the other teams seem to play to their strengths, so I'm not sure why the Lakers don't. It's mostly all Kobe, w/ Malone and Payton mixed in.

I had a close game last night leading by 2 w/ 4 seconds left. The Lakers had been taking timeouts during the last minute as we were trading baskets, but for some odd reason, w/ timeouts remaining, the Lakers launched a full court shot as time expired, instead of calling TO and getting it to half court. I found that disappointing, BUT I have also played a few close games where the AI played perfectly, calling TO's late and setting up for the game winning/tying shots. So, it could have been a fluke, but I was disappointed, since it was such a great game.

The post up game is a little frustrating now. I'm really wanting to post up, but the double teams come way too much, so it's hard to really battle down there. I think there is a double team slider that I need to tweak, I'm still playing default All-Pro.

Both teams are still shooting around 50% and I've noticed now that AI players WILL miss wide open shots Kobe got around a few picks last night and was WIDE open a few times and missed the J. Before I thought it was automatic, but it's not.

Hmm....Can't really think of much else right now, so fire the questions away.
