I saw Jrue Holiday miss a breakaway layup a few minutes ago. First time I'd seen it. Wide the freak open off of a steal.

This might be a silly question, but are rosters editable at all for this game? I'm thinking about getting it but in the past, Live rosters have been kind of rough out of the box. Thanks in advance.

You cannot edit rosters in quick game/tip off type modes. You can adjust lineups before starting game like adjusting starting lineup/removing injured players. You can edit rosters(not players) in dynasty mode.

All rosters are completely unusable out of the box.

That's crazy, lol

I meant more like under the goal and surrounded though...how do you personally defend those WTF? Hands up? LT? Jump?

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

Normally if they're going up and I have a guard, I swipe at the ball using steal. If I'm a big man, I'm going for the block by jumping. Seems to work pretty well.

Pushing your defender into the attacking player also works. Bringing second defender helps too.

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

Double teaming typically works for me on Pro, but not All Star and above...Ill literally have 3 people down there and too many times bigs are powering through for dunks or layups...I have actually gotten pretty good at positioning and using LT in the proper situation, I at least meet the baseline spin now the majority of the time and throw the post player off...but they end up overriding and defense with animations..Thats why I asked if any has seen a missed layup in a crowd...I cant really recall any right now...

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

Oh, I thought you said not in a crowd. I have seen plenty of misses while in a crowd. What Donnan said to, push your left stuck into the player. I'm seeing a lot of misses on allstar.

I sincerely think that there must be a difference between the X version and the ps4.

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

It wouldn't be the first time a game was different between consoles TBH...and I dont remember this much paint abuse during my breif stint with it on Ps4...so maybe so, I dont know...

Its really bugging me though because its holding me back from fully embracing the game...My offense is on point now and I have really gotten accustomed on how to succeed on that side...but defense man, its killing me. That game winner I posted in the video thread went into over time after Dre Jordan and BG went on a paint 10-0 run....(as you can see, I keep playing the Clippers because I am determined to stop them)

double teams, triple teams...if it was a block or strip it was bucket 100% of the time

Never seen it with the CPU, but I've blown a lot of bunnies using bronze scrubs in Ultimate Team.

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

I know it's not exactly what you were talking about 24th, but here's Asik missing back to back shots in the post, and then one of Holliday missing a layup after the hop step (no contact animation) leading to a fast break on the other end.

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/jswOz_3GNe8?hl=en_US&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/jswOz_3GNe8?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

<iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JS80RoCwzi8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I think what DonWuan eluded to earlier is that by pushing the left stick towards the defender, and into their body, even though it may not register a contact animation, i think it does associate it with defensive pressure. I've been doing it all along, and even on the offensive end, which is why I think I'm able to draw more fouls and get more free throws. Give that a try to see if it helps.

Also, both clips are on All-Star setting. I've not left it since you recommended it.
