There's a terrible "drifting" that's going on with the human ballhandler especially near the sidelines.

The player with the ball just starts to drift.

It's leading to a ton of out of bounds violations.

I'm on the PS4.

To get a clearer understanding of my concern, look at the following two post #69 and #70:

And also my very first post in this thread, #24:

I would very, very, very much appreciate it if you could post a video showing that you can clearly do the following two things that I am able to do in 2k17:


Note: Using the screenbutton is important and key because I want my teammates to come meet the ball.

(A) Have your teammate at the furthest corner of the court come set a screen. There must be another teammate between you and the corner teammate. See how Draymond Green was the middle man in the first screen. See how Zaza was the middle man in the second screen. See if you could do this in Live 18 on the spot, precisely, and always consistently be able to do it.

(B) Perform a sequence like such with both teammates positioned at the 3 point corners by using the screen button to simply get them to move towards you, but then pass them the ball. Do this three different times with three different teammates sequentially. See if you can always perform this sequence or something very similar (must have another teammate as a middle man) consistently and precisely. Durant was the middleman in the first pass, Draymond was the middle man in the 3rd pass.

I have never had an issue with the screen button. Whenever i have pressed it a player has come to set a screen. I do wish we had the option to select which player we wanted to set the screen.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo Game Update 1.06 Available Now, Adds Rockets &amp; Celtics

Gotta call you out on this on big dog lol!!! Those are situational mishaps.... That defender was clearly caught picking up the ball and found himself mixed on the switch... That's as realistic as it gets.. It's a ratings thing though unlike NBA 2K where that's natural..

NENE's man had the ball and passed it off . Defender just drifted away and left his man open . ALso are you that Doute guy from the EA forums? He is the only guy i have seen that has the post replies you do. 100% positive on live and gets on anyone that finds an issue

Yes, if you simply hold the screen button(LB/L1), it works. It's usually the center setting the screen. Here's a video I just did that shows the screen button always working.

(Video below) Just messing around to show that the screen button works, and I can call a screen from a teammate that is highlighted. Or I can use the screen button to have the teammate come meet the pass. But the problem is that it's difficult to always pinpoint the teammate you want. The analog stick simply doesn't "stay locked" onto the player. Plus, the analog stick can be fidgety. If the teammate is stationary at the corner, it's difficult to always pinpoint the analog stick on him, and when I do, sometimes the screen button doesn't respond.


You have to also keep in mind I need to be able to call multiple different teammates and the exact teammates during the exact split moment to come set a screen or come meet the pass. It might be 4 separate teammates all in one sequence. I need to be able to have the exact teammate come meet the pass.

Show me that you can perform the below action (2k footage that I provided). Can you always accurately and precisely have the exact desired player that you want come setting a screen so you can pass the ball to them? or simply have them come set a screen with the exact teammate you want?

Its not fine tuned to be precise. It would be nice to have a feature where icons pop up and then it would easier to select who you wanted. I usually just call plays, and have the screens set up on its own for the play or player im trying to get a positive outcome. On pick n rolls to the basket i just go with the center who is usually selected.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo Game Update 1.06 Available Now, Adds Rockets &amp;amp; Celtics

OBVIOUSLY???





FYI I've played organized/systematic basketball so I know for a fact guys are directed to leave and stick that high 4-1 defense on an swift 1... I can also assume that the basketball minded dev intentionally let this stay.

Come on, man. I'm loving the game this year, but you can't excuse every issue, especially blatant ones like that.

If anyone in an organized league made that defensive blunder, they'd be on the bench in a heartbeat.

Why isn't it fine tuned to be precise?

Not being able to call the exact teammate at the exact moment using the screen button is the limitation to Live 18 in its current form. Live is about total control and I figured the ability to call a screen from a specific/exact player would been part of Live's control mechanics.

So did you at least attempt to semi-replicate the above two videos? A few individuals said the screen button works perfectly when they want, but me asking for videos that showcase calling a screen from teammates sitting at the corners haven't yet surfaced. Note: there needs to be another teammate in the middle of the ball handler and the corner teammate. And my other desire is to see a Live 18 video that showcases the "come meet the ball" back to back to back by multiple teammates scattered around the floor using the screen button also haven't yet surface.

Note: Yes, I also call plays, d-pad double tap for screen, cut, etc. LB screens, for player and ball movement. It's not like I don't use these tactics. It's just that it's missing the ability to call for specific teammates to come set a screen that is throwing my offensive flow off.

EDIT: Here's a precise Live mechanic (video in link below; off ball precise control). Why was this off-ball player movement fine tuned to be precise? Select the exact precise off-ball teammate that you want to control....

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo Game Update 1.06 Available Now, Adds Rockets &amp; Celtics

I was basically talking about the screen button literally when pressed I would get a player coming fir the screen. I think some people thought there might be an issue that when the screen button is pressed a player would not come or come half way and not make it.

As far as selecting a certain player as a option to be the screener is something that would need to be more fine tuned by the developers or maybe go to a icon pop up method to be more precise.

All of these suggestions and user experience hopefully will lead to more options being implemented at some point, if its not for live 18 then maybe 19 as the developers get more feedback and ideas going forward.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo Game Update 1.06 Available Now, Adds Rockets &amp; Celtics

One thing I'm worried about are all of the crazy layups I've seen being made consistently. One guy said it was because he lowered the blocking sliders, but then I watched another vid and saw more ridiculousness. Not even the best players should be swishing these contested layups with regularity like this. The worst one was Chris Paul driving in the lane against a much taller opponent, and completely swished a 360 layup.

I could somewhat understand this if this were an elite player skill/ability, but I've seen non superstar players do similar things.

Re: NBA Live 18 Demo Game Update 1.06 Available Now, Adds Rockets &amp; Celtics

Okay so after I gave up doing the daily goat challenges on MUT tonight I invested a little more time into the Live demo. I take back almost everything I said about shooting. I still think some weeks need to be made to the right stick to make dribbling more fluid and not turn into an accidental shot but the whole green release thing I had issues with is no more. One thing I did do was turn off shot feedback because that would frustrate me by saying I was guarded when there wasn't even a hand in my face. However the shooting with the right stick is fine now that I got more used to it. On a side note I cancelled my digital pre order on that other game tonight, I think I'll be spending a fair amount of time with Live to start the season.

FYI If you didn't know, MLB made claims that he can beat Michal Jordan and Lavar Ball in a 1 vs 2. He avg'd 0.7 ppg in his organized/systematic PAL league if you let him tell it to you..
