that's the beauty of it . what if he wanted to shoot 90% on layups and 75% on 3 pointers.

Then maybe NBA live won't be for him. If EA is trying to make a simulation then that's the goal. Synergy will be the server sliders If you will. Synergy won't be needed when people can ignore its implementation and change sliders

No sliders really bruh WTF does the Live Devine team be doing all day

Trying to fix graphics and gameplay which are the past fails of the series. Its all about sales and sliders aren't what the masses care about when they watch streams and YouTube videos

They talked a lot about the synergy stuff last year, but roster updates were no where near daily, and we barely ever saw any changes to tendencies or attributes until they were called out on it in like Feburary, from what I remember.

Maybe they have a better system this year, but there is significant reason to be skeptical

Turn on Live 14 right now and every center is still spinning out of the post and dunking...synergy has had the entire season to fix this and couldn't....

So I have trouble putting my faith in synergy over sliders..

Synergy barely worked(at all?)last year yet we're supposed to have faith in EA that it'll work again? Especially to replace not having the OPTION of sliders?

I just said this in the other thread. My whole premise is that sliders are necessary because the developers are failing in other areas. You remove those failures you remove the need for sliders IMO.

Also there will be different levels. He wants to put up those unreal stats than play on rookie.

The main issue is that what feels sim is going to vary from person to person. Its not actual basket, and as such there will also be various levels of interpretation of how input on this weird controller thing should correlate to how the guys on screen move and react. As such, everyone needs to be able to tweak the game to make it play the most realistic for themselves.

I wished that during the extra month they found a way to put sliders in but it is what it is,;I don't buy the lack of technology to put them and editing in, is this the 1980's?

I think where people are losing me is on the word "realistic" it's IMO far less subjective as some are trying to make it. I think what people are saying is that we should have sliders so people can play the games as unrealistic as they want to. Which seems like it's the opposite of what I hear from game designers. I don't think I've ever seen a sports game designer gave detail descriptions about how unSIM they are trying to make their games. Even then I'm sure some kind of arcade mode coupled with the difficulty levels can be installed to give causals something less realistic.

I think you should agree to disagree and move on. Its not even a debate, you don't think its necessary and everyone else does. There isnt a conversation in the world you're going to have to move people from that side because its basically taking something away from them that works for them. I dont care if a game was 99.5% perfect, you still don't take away people's options.
