    Problems with recorded assists?

    I posted this on the bug sticky as well but thought it was important enough to make sure everyone gets a chance to see and confirm if my observations are correct.

    I am starting to notice a big problem on the PC version with recording assists. I am using Superstar with Pared sliders and the CPU has an extremely low amount of assists every game. I thought it may be a problem with the AI not distributing enough but it looks as though plays where assists should be counted are not counted. I am finding that the only time an assist is recorded is if the passed-to player shoots without dribbling, though I haven't tested this enough. Can someone else confirm this?

    I'm bring this back to the fore-front because I noticed this when this game first came out for PS2.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that assists are mis-counted. Well, you've got the PC version so they can patch this problem. Console users will just have to wait next year.

    Speaking of patch, I was on nbalive.org and they have a patch petition and no where to be found on that petition is fixing the assist stat bug.

        I played Sacramento last night and Bibby had 7 assists and Christie had 8 assists against me, in the same game. I highly doubt EA is going to do anything about this, but good luck.

            I was also worried about this

            Ive only played one gameon the PC version, but in that one, the CPU had just 3 assists even though several plays by them warranted one

                IF you guys can go back to the beginning of LIVE 05' post you will also see that I myself have several post from start concerning the low CPU assist rate What I can't believe is why so long for someone else to step forward I was using Pared's sliders and still do from time to time for head 2 head gameplay only, Lately I have been using "173's" sliders an have been getting pretty far assist numbers by the "CPU" teams I don't know why I can't figure out what sort of combinations it is that makes this happen, I just feel as if the games is a little more complete now I just thought that it was strange that nobody who creates these sliders for us have addressed this topic some time ago Anyway game-on
                Where they DO that? ? ?

                    I think you guys don't actually know what constitutes and assist.

                        Man please read your CPU's point guard assist stats at the half and after the game and then let me know if you think that number is realistic A lot of guys have been posting stats in the slider threads with very low numbers is all, I had to change sliders just recently to have the CPU teams dish out enough at a realistic rate, and I really don't think that your the only member here with basketball skill or knowledge, I myself friend have been in alot of hoop games either at the streetball level or organized hoop so just don't say "YOU Think" and the stats speak for themselves in plain color or in my case "HIGH DEFINITION"
                        Where they DO that? ? ?

                            An assist can not be given if the player doesn't shoot as soon as it's given to him or doesn't have a clear path to the basket. Players in Live rarely shoot as soon as they get it.
