NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

Re: EA Devs please enter: NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

Isn't it against the rules to make a thread saying something like DEVS LOOK AT THIS.

And again, isn't there an impressions thread that devs have been very attentive to already?

I would not have known that rule. yes there is an impressions thread. the impressions thread should not be mixed with the straight on game breaking issues thread. especially when we're talking about live a game that knows its behind the other monster game and these devs literally need even more feed back then the other monster game. sure they both want it and use it. but lets be clear. live better use every bit of feed back they get. and the better we can filter it for them, the easier it will be for them to see things and say ok, this is the thread for the more lets say Emergency Issues that need to be fixed right now. Some of the other stuff is more of a preference that could be checked on down the line. But it wont stop someone from buying the game.

These issues can be a death nail for the game for some people. Not me. but for some. and dont let this kind of stuff blow up on the net and turn into another jesus bynum situation. I didnt make this thread to look like mr big shot talking to devs. I made it for you guys to post all the game breaking stuff in one place for them to just go right to it. they will still follow the impressions threads as well. If you disagree, the mods can merge this back with the original impressions thread.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

Biggest issue and concern I am seeing is clock management. I am seeing the CPU taking a lot of deep shoots with like 5 seconds left in a quarter instead of trying to pass the ball or get a little closer. I am seeing CPU take shoots at the end of the game when they shouldn't. I saw KI do a like half spin and then spin back and jack up a like 30 foot 3's with a guy right in his face with like 10 seconds left on the shoot clock. CPU clock management is really bad and it is not the kind of thing that can be fixed/improved by sliders like some of the other things like blocks can. Also things like clock management AI is something that is not a easy kind of thing to fix in a patch either. Hopefully it is fixed in the final version.

I could've sworn this was a known complaint from the last version of this game am i right?

Soooo... Someone once told that live is going to kick 2k *** this year... 😂😂😂

and that someone told you wrong. what they should have said is live is going to have some people going broke buying 2 basketball games this year. and that is facts. right now off the demo. its good enough to be purchased along with 2k.

before for non live super fans i would say that was not the case. if they fix even those issues in the first post. that alone would push them into the place where some people who buy 2k out of pure necessity(there was no other playable game that was worth the $$) might just pick up live instead. the 2k life longers aint switching anytime soon. and thats fine. Live needs to get to a point where all fans just say I choose basketball game A because I like the playstyle better than basketball game b. Not I choose basketball game A because game b is broken or terrible. you see the difference?

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

game breaking??? a little overboard huh

No. not overboard at all. Especially the last two videos.

If some guy caught that in when he played for a few hours. what do you think is going to happen once the other two types of gamers get a hold of the real game.
type 1 - people who hate live anyway and are looking for video evidence Of why everyone else should hate it. we see this every single year. These types would buy the game, find the horrible glitches and post them everywhere online so that becomes the narrative. and anything good about live will be missed because we're in an era where everyone follows the crowd and if the crowd keeps showing those above type videos. everyone else will follow in lockstep. "yep..live sucks...did you see that one video where the guy doesnt even put the ball back down on the ground? he just slides to the basket? ha haa haa"

type 2 - Cheese/exploit abusers. these types are on every game as is. you dont want to give them this kind of ammo to run off the rest of us that like playing vs real humans.

This is why i called these issues and the ones i hope you guys post that are extreme...game breaking. We're not talking about preferences. we're talking about stuff that just has zero business being in the game of basketball.where we all agree "that should not happen."

2K has 10x worse clipping and feet planting...

not the point of the thread even if you believe it to be true.

I agree with this post whole heartedly.

I love basketball and there is no way I would miss out on playing such an incredible game that NBA 2k puts out every year. I just truly have more fun with the gameplay of live and I absolutely love the presentation.

Why wouldn't I embrace 2 NBA games?

Re: EA Devs please enter: NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

Edited the title...

I'm having trouble understanding the first complaint....does it effect gameplay at all or is it just a visual thing?

The second thing is funny...

Long time Live players will notice that yes, there is more clipping in this game then any other next gen....that's why I laugh any time I hear some one trying to sell me on this game being a revolution in physics- yes it has some some cool physics elements but its a complete different direction from what 14, 15, 16 tried to do physics wise....but as you can see, the game is better for it...

I dont get why people make such a big deal out of inconsequential clipping. Yes its ugly, but its inevitable with current technology. The ball cant be 100% tangible, itd be madness.

It wouldnt be madness. you just have to tighten up that logic and that takes time and the proper way to think out scenarios. you miss some scenarios and those situations can look crazy. but I would rather you try than to be stuck with the over produced already pre setup played out animation style. thats just my preference. you may feel differently.

But this kind of clipping can be corrected. They probably didnt place that logic in there when someone does a hesitation dribble and pushes a certain direction. the ball needs to come back down in a matter of Xmilliseconds. you can't catch everything. but thats the beauty of putting out a demo early. let the people help you.

But with that said. its still a revolution in physics in comparison too other bball games of the past and present(this does not count 2k18 that has not yet dropped.)

**OH and thanks for the thread title fix

Not sure I have not played a lot of NBA live for a long time. Last time I really played a NBA live game was like NBA live 05 or something.

So in other words video games aren't real life huh lol. Think the quicker folk wrap their music new around that then they will be able to enjoy the games better.

According to YOU.

The world doesn't revolve around you, sorry.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

Am I the only one who selfishly likes clipping goofs (in both games). They're rare, but when they happen, they make me and my friends laugh, reminding you it's a video game.

I remember one time in the other game, where the ball spiked down somehow on a steal and shot straight up in the air into another dimension. It took like 10 full seconds to come down. It was hilarious. I don't get why ppl freak out, it's a game.

Clipping is such a small thing to me, when it's on rare occasion...there's way bigger things to bitch about.

not just according to me. according to the same people that created those videos. which non of them were me.

you just said you enjoyed that stuff sometimes. thats cool. sounds like this thread isnt for you Vin and thats ok too. When some of us see these type of issues in the game it makes us feel the game is broken. There's nothing you can do to change our minds on how we feel about it when that happens. I'm not trying to change yours. I will say this. if you want to find out who leans more to your idea or more to the these are "game breaking" issues idea.. throw up a poll some where and let the people speak.

some people like a more arcadey/casual feel as well. Me? Not so much. I like more realism in my basketball games. So when i see things like those videos. I can't stand it. and I'm a live super fan. will be purchasing this years. as a matter of fact the preorder is sitting in my xbox waiting for the release day so i can click it to play it. we just differ in how we see these games. no harm in that.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo-Game breaking Issues

Just 1 thing: players closing out are faster than the ball... which means rarely do u get a drive and kick game.
