Ok now that we are discussing double taps, lets do double taps on the offensive end.

Double up - screen
Double right - post up
Double down - cut
Double left - iso

Now where double changes from single taps (which call the same plays) is that you get player icons.

Great.

My question is, then what? What I mean is this, I will double tap cut, then the icons appear, then I pick a player's icon and press it. Often they won't do anything. But when they do something there is a wrong mechanic in place, logic would say if you choose to cut icon B then they would automatically inherit the white pass icon. But they don't.

Because of this, if you have an SF down near a corner and your SG closer to you and you make your SF go on a cut, depending on where he goes makes it really difficult to focus the white passing icon on him. Because A) your SG is closer and B) It can be really tricky to assign the white passing icon to someone who is moving

The change I would suggest to EA is to just have the white passing icon stay assigned to the player you call a play for, for about 2 seconds. That would give you enough time to get the ball to them.

If somebody is good at running these icon based plays and has some tips fire them out here.

I purchased both basketball games this year, it was unplanned.

One too many missed easy layups made me start gathering as much information about Live as I could find.

The fun factor is higher for me in Live. I would consider myself a casual gamer, and a basketball fan - not so much a master tactician. I really don't have any gripes with gameplay that I would consider a show killer to this point. My biggest complaint is probably the lack of classic teams or legends in the general free agent pool.

I will likely keep both and one for classic teams and use Live strictly for NBA 2014-2015 roster play.

Live is starting to be like the other game with point blank layups being missed imo

This drove me crazy. Why I stopped playing it and came over to Live. Sounds like missed layups and missed short shots is chasing me from game to game!

Is this happening too frequently? Otherwise, that happens in the league. I actually like the misses unless I'm on a fastbreak and miss it which I haven't seen happen.

I'm not missing an overabundance of layups. Contested layups and layups in traffic seem toned down, which is a good thing. That's a direct correlation to the issues that I seen posted over here. I've seen a few situations where the battle on offensive rebounds and continuous putbacks created some great moments.

I haven't played today, but unless something changed I haven't had issues missing lay ups...in fact, unless my attempt is blocked, most of the animations can't be interrupted so it's $$

There were definitely more misses in the paint last night/yesterday. I think there was one possession Sixers(me) at Pacers that there were at least 4 misses around the paint, finished with a Noel Block which Scola recovered and tapped in. Very slick.

It could be an isolated incident though. I've not stayed home long enough to test further. Stinking grown up life.

They looked like they updated the warm up suit glitch. Players now sit on the bench in their jerseys and shorts, and after a bit of time passes by, they have just their jacket on, but not the whole warm up suit!!

Before the suit used to just appear on the player as he was sitting down, that kind of bugged me

I'd rather the CPU miss a few wide open shots, because let's face it, nobody is that much money all the time, maybe during streaks, but not ALL game

So I just started a Dynasty today, and I have it set to manual subs. It appears that once again, this means that the CPU won't make any subs, unless I'm missing something. Absolutely ridiculous that this is happening again.

Happened to me offline here, a FT miss on a great release...is this a glitch or what?

Yeah the CPU hits too high of a rate of all net jumpers. I would like to see some variety, like some bank shots from distance, some rim bouncers, rim rollers, etc.

Ok, I really most times chose to stay away from negativity when it comes to things, but, I wonder...are you gentlemen choosing to overlook certain aspects of fundamental basketball?? And basketball video games??...you must be able to go out of bounds!! It's a crucial part of the game, live 15, doesn't allow you to go out of bounds! This must be fixed before I can praise this game any at all! Let's not talk about the way offenses are ran on this game, even with automotion on, there is still very little off ball movement. So, before we can have a debate on how good of game play this game has, these fundamental things must be fixed to even have a discussion in my book. I'm playing on the PS4 if that's a difference in any of this...

I've played at least 15 games and I'm not seeing this, I actually almost believe the opposite, use the Bucks and I have 4-5 players who can get to the rim and score consistently.
