Don't think you can edit anything.
Only in Finals mode they had player intros bit it was only one player, I hope they expand on it, because teams have introductions every game

Re: Rocking with Live this year

I like a lot of the things Live is doing, the foundation they are setting. The Rebounding, the spacing, the playcalling (This is HUGE) making sure EVERY TEAM and EVERY player plays how they do in real life. The Team specific defense is a HUGE draw for me.

I think we should wait til the game is released before making these comments....

EA has preached this same script to us for the past few years with Live and IMO have failed to deliver because the players/teams haven't performed anything like their real life counterparts.

All PG's still play the same way that hasn't changed yet....

Can anyone honestly say when they watch Chris Paul or Steph Curry they move in a manner on the floor that wow's you....I'm talking about from their ball handling movements to their flair with the ball in his their hands?????

This is where I believe EA's animations or Motion Capturing is way below average...

The defenders all function on the same AI code you can't tell the difference between a lock down wing defender like Tony Allen from a average guy and the BIG's have separate tendency ratings defensively either you are more likely to see Larry Sanders or DeAndre Jordan types protecting the paint like someone of Kris Kaman's ability.

IMO they still haven't come close to giving the players true identities on the floor.

Re: Rocking with Live this year

I want to rock with Live this year, and I still might, but it's starting to feel like deja vu. All of that will go by the wayside though once I see some gameplay. I'm not expecting perfection, but a rock solid improvement is imperative.

Re: Rocking with Live this year

yea Playmakers,

What i meant was i see the foundation for all those things, not that all of those things were in there...it started with Team specific defensive schemes and I see how it can transfer into offense, then individual team and then player/sig stuff as well.

That being said the things in there now they do well like spacing, and rebounding (including boxing out) aren't comparable to the other game.

Actually i cant play the other game anymore because rebounding on HOF is so aggravating it's not even fun.

I mostly play against the computer so im looking for these little things that draw me in. I dont know if that makes sense.

I think it's cool to have sliders and all that but i don't want to sit around fiddling sliders because I've been down that road it's a never ending black hole. I get it some people like that but for me i just want to play a solid game of basketball that is immersive CHALLENGING (not cheating) and has depth.

Live isnt there yet but i can see what they are building im rocking with it.

Rocking with Live this year

Live's spacing is great from a visual standpoint..not so much in execution..IMO



As much space as we saw, the court still felt crowded because of your teamates lack of movement into spots, the clunkiness of passing and the defenses reaction to what you did...



Kind of defeats the idea of spacing the court. The devs did mention some of this was being ironed out, so I am looking forward to seeing the results...

I think passing issues in both games is what really kills spacing. I'd say the passing seems better and more in line with reality in Live(again this is solely from watching videos). Although again both games needs to improve on such a fundamentally important aspect of the sport.

Re: Rocking with Live this year

Just wondering why you have decided before we've seen any of the games? And without any impressions or reviews.
This is not the time to decide you're well off waiting another month.

That is a good question being that no gameplay of a final build has been shown. I guess it maybe he wants to try something different than the way 2k makes its basketball games. But I would like to hear his reasoning also, not to judge but to hear his insight.
