    Re: NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

    For sure going to use Real FG% in franchise, no shot meter. However do they have that Real FT% option as well?

    Again I have not played NBA Live since Live 06 and I remember it was in that game and previous ones. Man that was a long time ago....LOL.

      Pro-hopping is just basically pump faking while attacking the basket.
      This works with both the Shoot button and RS 'UP'.

      So those that do use RS you can follow it up by finishing with the hand of your choice.

        And for those who can’t hop step...go into shootatround mode and read the tutorial controls. It is in the game and can be done.
        Mmm, no. Clicking it takes you to the pause screen, then you can click the timeout tile. Not the same.

          There is a ratings only for free throws and shooting. No real fg%

            I'm assuming its been discussed but the time it takes to enter shooting animations hurts the game. You can't smoothly go from dribbling to shooting. Theres an odd lag. For players like Curry and Kyrie, this is crucial.

              Do you recall more specifics about the Steph Curry line that you heard?


              Side note: The majority of new commentary will be in the full game.

                  Is there a way to choose who sets the screen when you call for it? I've tried pointing with the left stick but it doesn't seem to work, plus it makes the dribbler take a step when I don't want him to.

                    Should be able to. You're not the first to point this out. We'll investigate.

                      Make sure the player indicator is under the desired player.



                      I did it in a much exaggerated way, but you can see how responsive it is in this case. I called who i wanted to then let go and called the next/different person.

                        Here's a blocking and 1 call for those that haven't seen them. Rose slid in a second too late.
                        Do you have a clip or seen a blocking foul that doesn't result in free throws?

                        If you can pass this info on to a dev, I would like to know why there isn't a slider for charging,blocking and over the back fouls if the last one is even in the game.

                          LT to box out is a little over powered at the moment. Leading to some suction as well. I'm stopping people running baseline or on the perimeter way too easily. With a 5'11 175 pg

                          Also on 5vs5 live run. The guy I'm defending crosses half court trying to cherry pick or run the floor. If the ball hadn't crossed half court yet my defender will run towards half court line trying to pick up ball handler and completely leaves the guy you should be defending open.

                            I do wish they would take it off of the left stick. I want to be able to choose my screener without having to move the ballhandler, especially if I'm in the triple threat.

                              If anything I have to commend you guys working for Live willing to listen to us and investigate issues. I and I'm sure others really appreciate it.

                                It appears Ft ratings only is In full game yes,

                                also I turned off shot meter in demo and use as is (Ratings + skill) and after some practice you can time it pretty well to release at top of jump. No worries and no meter cluttering up game.
