Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

Oh boy! I also feel like the cpu is playing quite well at present with some wonderful plays and don't want to risk any regression. Waiting for further confirmation from others ( I'm assuming those with latest Synergy updates are on Xb1 since PSN network is still down). I will not be updating with Synergy even if server comes back up if this becomes the chorus around here.

I've been seeing a lot pg passes to SG who then dumps it to the big man. It seems like they are always running the simple post up plays.

Yep, the Mav's exclusively went to this with Tyson Chandler in my last game...we're back to square one with Tyson Chandler post ups, lol

Going to upload the game in full once the servers are back up. Superstar/8 minute quarters and the Mav's had 6 shots outside of the paint...

Ended up winning easily but you'll also see the insane amount of shots I missed wide open/green release with TP from mid range as he Mavs continually went with the screener...

WTF? Serious? The Mavs played Really well against me 2 days ago. Dirk with some jumpers from the elbow and everything.

Yeah man. I've had some decent games against the Mav's too, I'm always playing them in quick games...so it definitely isn't the norm.

They actually were going to Dirk a good bit as well, but they were all quick posts up leading to those 'non meter' jump shots near the rim...

With this new low fg% thing it's almost impossible to win with the Warriors playing their style. Even Curry and Klay need to be wide open for anything to go in.

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

I think whatever they did with the patch, got reset with synergy. They should allow us to turn that off too. In Live 09 I always turned off streaks and kept the synergy data.

I've been saying since launch that there has to be conflict with the synergy information and the ratings. I might be wrong but there's things that are too inconsistent in this game

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

Ok, I definately won't be accessing Synergy updates until this is sorted out! What sucks about staying out of the servers is that the trades are not reflected in the rosters. Appreciate everyone's information about this.

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?



PSN came on for me at midnight, got the latest synergy update. FG% is slightly raised to more respectable levels. However there was a few things I didn't like.

1. Raptors played generic, they looked to post all game long, even though their synergy says they only post up 10% of the time. They basically played the same way the Lakers did in my last game. PG over dribbled standing in place at the 3pt line then swung it to the SG to the Center for a forced shot.

2. There were many times on defense I had no control of my players. Especially when it came to rebounding, player wouldn't jump even though I am constantly pressing jump. Or when the Raptors drove to the hole, which they did often as well, my defenders would either not jump to contest the shot or they would move out of the way as though Moses was parting the Red Sea allowing a very wide open lane to the basket, even with pack the paint on.

3. The PGs for both teams once again only got subbed out once the entire game. Same thing with the PFs, it was like those 2 positions never got tired.

4. Too many times I would call a time out and see the CPU constantly changing my defensive settings to loose on ball and loose off ball. They changed my screen and post defense settings as well. Needless to say it ticked me off big time considering you only have so many time outs.

5. CPU hit way too many double team shots fading away. I was thinking hmm, I didn't know all the starters on the Raptors were Michael Jordan. Fade away over double teams masters.

6. I find the step back move useless, it animates too slow.

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

The latest synergy update tonight, Pacers vs Nets(me). Both teams shot mid 40s FG%. Both teams struggled pretty bad from 3pt line though, mid teens 3pt %. Pacers played generic and when they did attempt a 3, they were some pretty long distance 3's.

For some reason Live 15 thinks Roy Hibbert is Michael Jordan, he hit way too many tightly contested I'm so close up on him I could kiss him fade away jumpers. Pretty much all of his points were fade away jumpers. And Live 15 really need to get rid of that up and under reverse lay up cheese that the CPU loves to do with Centers and power forwards along the baseline. If there WAS AN OUT OF BOUNDS, they sure as hell would be called for it. But instead they just glide along that invisible wall bumping your defenders who are in perfect position out of the way.

And I am starting to notice some come back AI cheese. In the 3rd or 4th quarter, you will go on a stretch of 2 to 4 minutes without being able to hit a shot. You will miss everything, even layups. You will see your lead disappear because the CPU will go a big run and hit EVERYTHING, even the funkiest looking reverse layups in traffic. You will also notice during this time, your whole team rebounding ability becomes non existent. They won't even jump and if you manual try to control them, they still won't jump regardless of how often you press the rebound button.

To combat this come back AI cheese, call a time out and attempt to draw fouls by spamming the paint. Yeah it is kind of sad you have to cheese yourself but hey. Speaking of the paint, don't seem to matter who I play against, the CPU loves taking 95% of their shots in the paint.

That 4-17 is like clockwork, I've had a few games with that

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

Just came here to see if I was the only one. Played it on release,loved it. Bought it a few days ago. Updated it, and now it plays like Live 14. Can't hit Js or 3's, every play is swing to the Sg then dump to the post. Replays aren't working. What's going on?

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

Something is odd with the update.

I could shoot 3's really well before.

1st game with this update I went 2-17. But the kicker is half of them I was open and set and had a great release. Just a pass and fire three that would go in before.

The cpu hits them when wide open 99% of the time.

I shoot most of mine with Klay Thompson who is no slouch from 3 land.

So I go into practice mode and make a bunch of 3's with perfect release.

Back to game 2. 3-15 from 3. Klay was 1-9.

I don't get it. The only thing I can think is its like it was posted earlier where if the cpu raises his arm you cant make the shot. That is sure what it feels like.

They have to give the CPU some other ways to score man, lol

37 points, 28 PIP, 5 at the line





This is on Superstar.

The majority of the midrange/3 pointers they did take were up against the shot clock. The A.I just won't run any offense man, won't play to their superstars or strengths...just feels so generic. Synergy is supposed to govern this, no?

Re: Did they adjust gameplay again with latest update?

seems like synergy doesn't do a damn thing. i played against the cavs last night; delladova bumrushed the paint like kyrie and for some reason dion waiters wasn't even in the lineup.
