    Frustrating issue with passing



    Ever since Live returned to consoles with NBA Live 14, there has been an issue with interior passing/catching animations that really frustrate me because of my style of play. I’ve never really seen it addressed so I made a YouTube video with clips showing what I’m talking about.

    In the first clip, I have a 2 on 1 situation with Horford and Baynes. I make the extra pass for an easy dunk, but because live doesn’t have catching animations from a standstill that step into a pass and then quickly transition into a dunk or layup, I end up with this clunky layup animation that turns into a foul ( I went 1/2 from the line). What should have been a quick, easy dunk becomes a frustrating sequence that looks and feels horrible.

    In the second clip, I have a 2 on 1 after a pick and roll, but instead of Zaza staying in the dunker spot, he rotated up like he’s a three point shooter. This is more of a motion logic problem but it still affects my style of play. This should be an easy 2 on 1 layup.

    In the third clip, it’s more of the same. This time Horford doesn’t even step in. He shoots a jump shot from right out side the paint. Thankfully it goes in, but still, if I work smart enough to get a 2 on 1 near the basket, it should result in a layup or dunk.

    In the 4th clip I get Kd curling off a screen( which is another issue that needs to be addressed, it’s really hard sometimes) and get another 2 on 1. Thompson actually jumps at the pass, and it leaves Draymond wide open for a quick easy dunk. But because of Live’s lack of catching animations that simultaneously catch and gather for a layup or dunk, I get a super slow layup animation, a contact layup and a miss. I want to throw my controller when this happens lol.

    The last clip is the most frustrating. I get another 2 on 1 near the rim, with my big man so wide open on the pass that I thought even if I get a slow layup animation, I’ll still get it off before help arrives. NOPE.I don’t even get a layup attempt off; it makes me shoot a jump shot, and I miss because this big man can only make layups or dunks.

    Live Devs, please look to add quicker, smoother animations for catching from a standstill that allow the player to catch, step in, and finish in one smooth motion. Reward making the extra pass!

      Yeah I figured it was time I made a post about it. The game has improved a lot but there are still things that need to be addressed

          Passing is *** in this game. They need to say that to themselves and improve it. Ball physics are trash too.

            I have to agree. Passing still needs some work. Unless your icon passing, most of the time the passing is off. Hopefully this improves in the future

              It's ok if you're running plays and you can see the white indicator under the player that shows where the passing lane is, but it's bad for fast breaks where you don't have the time to look for that. The left stick is sensitive, which results in passes intercepted by the defense if your aim is off.

                The fact that you can't pass or dribble relative to the camera you're using is also terrible. If you want people to transition over to your game and buy in for the future, you better not make them re-learn these essential control aspects. It's very frustrating for me and unless it's patched in I'm not buying Live next year.
