Could be a 2k conspiracy

None of that explains why all the sudden Live can get certifications within days, at the same time between PS4 and Xbox One.

Notice how I said Live too, in the past they would take forever with patches too

Exactly, i can forgive mistakes if they're addressed. But the whole "waiting a year to fix a minor bug" is how you lose me.

I still have a couple of issues with the game, especially after the recent patch, but I'm confident it will be addressed so I'm not freaking out about it.

That's how a consumer is supposed to feel. And that's how you foster brand loyalty.

They need a quicker turn around tho. They gotta roll some of this stuff back. I can't think of many positives about this patch, really. It didn't increase the skill gap.



The one thing I never thought is that they would make Live like 'the dreaded other game', but they did. They overnerfed inside shooting, added blocks that are pretty ridic, like Kyle Korver smashing my shot. Much less ability to get to the rim v the cpu, again Kyle Korver.



Fix help d, add wrinkles, don't just increase D all around. The D was fine as it was. You don't nerf offense AND buff defense. haha.



There's no sense of str anymore. People are still doing crazy dunks tho, if they don't get blocked. This was one of those reward you for pressing buttons and holding buttons updates. I really liked it when you had to make people miss. I feel like only a slight tuning was necessary to make a real contest more impactful, inside and outside. Everything else except maybe zig zagging was fine.



Again: I can still win, I can still benefit from these changes, but it doesn't feel as good anymore. I can get mad auto steals. I'm not getting intercepted or blocked that much (online), but it's pushing the game toward more dribble-drive-dunk or dribble around-shoot, where as before you could like see people in the post and feel them out a bit.



People are afraid to pass the ball now because they can't keep from getting it intercepted. haha. Legit.



I'll still play. I am not quitting, but they def need to quickly adjust. I dunno who they were listening to, but again: don't listen to everyone at once. haha. They only made the game easier and more automatic on D and less organic on O.

A lot of complaining in here, but I don’t see anything wrong with the patches. Seriously.

I think 1.09 fixed a lot of the problems i had with 1.07 to be honest.

Some issues are going to come down to personal experience and/or the mode users occupy.

I believe your on Pro/adjusted sliders....its a vastly different experience from Live Run or Play Now on Superstar etc.

Some issues are pretty obvious. I get it's your favorite game. Devs have done a great job of responding to the community, feedback is at the base of that.

The good news for me is that the steal slider works great. I have user steals on 10 and cpu steals on 5 and it’s close to how it was pre patch.

I feel for the online guys who can’t adjust sliders.

I agree. I played last night and it felt back to normal. I had a close game against the lowly Hawks and i didn't have to hold myself back like I usually do.

Several people are saying it's vastly improved after patch 1.09, I'm curious as to your thoughts on that. I guess if you're comparing it to having sliders on 10, it won't seem improved, but I'm curious if you've tried post patch.

The problem with opinions on Live is that every game plays so different. I had games post 1.09 that were good and some that were horrific. I rage quit against the sixers 4 times because the turnovers were insane.

I go by stats and league average for steals is about 7.5 steals a game. Even on my good games both teams were averaging 8-10 and that’s with accelerated clock on so it’s probably more like 12-15 per side. The sixer games it was those numbers by the half.

Like I said though every game plays so different it’s hard to get a real sense of how much things change going by just the stats. So what I did was lower the steal slider to 0 and purposely passed the ball around wrecklessly and at 0 the cpu wasn’t going for steals or playing passing lanes at all. End of game turnovers were 3 cpu 2 me. So I raised and tested till I got back to the 5-7 steals a game. What I’ve settled on so far is 10 user 5 cpu. But I’m still testing.

Re: NBA Live 19 Patch 1.07 Available - Adds Edit Player in Franchise Mode, Patch Note

Plainly, this is the issue.



As long as there are shooting archetypes or icon three skills, dudes will find a way to get threes. They might not get 15/21 like pre patch, they might have to work harder, use picks etc, but a good shooter is gonna get greenable looks and green them. I've played against most of the top people if you assume the dudes on the leader boards for like ppg n 3s are the best scorers. I know how they get it in. You have to devote mad energy to stopping them sometimes two people to be ready whichever side of the screen the guy crosses to.



However, when you make it harder to score inside you just make the gm a 3 fest. Like a jump shot is a better shot than a lay up. Factoring in percentage a good post scorer should be a lot more successful than a good shooter, but since you can't stop these guys from greening outside, why can't we find a way to score inside as easily? Keeping in mind there will always be way more people in the paint than guarding a shooter. It's still easier to lay up thru contact under the rim than it is to cross over behind a screen and hit a 3 in, yknow, life.



That's the balance issue.


Edit: my inside scoring now is like it used to be on 2k, post up, hit the cutter for a dunk. Dudes still dunk. Rim prots can dunk like monsters. Like get in the lane, pump fake, and throw in a Dwight not even by the rim dunk. I'm like one of three people that plays bball video games that can pass the ball to a cutter in stride for a dunk. Haha. I dunno. I can get it from cpu too but then I'm just dunking. That's zzz.

Something's gone wonky with passing - and not just the CPU intercepting all of them. On some passes the ball just flies out of the player's hand with no animation whatsoever.

This should be addressed in the next patch. Also noticed on various occasions where the players hands motion one direction for a pass but the end result is the ball zipping a totally different direction. Unfortunately these are some of the problems that can be induced with a patch. Hope they take more time to QA future patches though I'm guessing the community is being used for that purpose to some degree. I do appreciate their steadfast efforts and see great things for this game with this kind of progress and response given the fact that the NBA season hasn't even commenced as of yet!

Re: NBA Live 19 Patch 1.07 Available - Adds Edit Player in Franchise Mode, Patch Note

This is all based off franchise play.

I was fooled by the randomness. Played 5 games last night and even with the steal slider at 0/0 both sides had 10+ steals a game average was 12.

I know some people say “you have to be smarter with your passing” and while I agree that you just can’t fling it around, unfortunately the cpu didn’t get that memo. In all 5 games I had more steals than the cpu. 12,15,13,11,11.


Which was even more unfortunate was that it seemed in the 4th quarter is when the steals really ramped up and the super obnoxious warp steal were happening all over the court and ultimately cost the cpu 3 of those games that they probably would have won.

I’m beating a dead horse at this point but the game went from a beautiful recreation of basketball movement to a circus show. Sorry but it really did. The warping is just ridiculous. Players getting unrealistic speed bursts to intercept. Passes not animating even close to correctly. It’s just a butt ugly game now.

When the game first came out a common complaint in the impressions thread was how the cpu was smothering on defense. For some unknown reason they decided to make that worse in the last patch. Next to no help defense everyone just sticks to their man like glue. No need for help defense because if you beat your man off the dribble there is a great chance your shot gets blocked anyways. It’s not uncommon to have maybe 3 uncontested shots a game right now. You used to be able to get a few decent looks with a step back or spin jumper but they nerfed those to useless too.


I understand what EA was trying to do and I commend them for the effort. I just don’t understand why they would go the direction of a way crappier version of 2k. I’m not saying that as a bash to 2k but we all now what we are getting with 2k. A hardcore sim that is fun but complicated and like any real sport sim, can be frustrating. What was great about live is it had none of that originally and is what made it refreshing.


I dunno if trying to balance offline and online is causing the identity crisis but in my humble opinion, with this last patch, they have lost their way. Maybe the plan all along was to be a poor mans 2k but I’ve seen glimpses of something great and different in the last 4 years and I’ve bought in. Now the state of this game has me beyond frustrated.


I’ve been saying that the gameplay has finally got to where it needs to be mostly and that their never ending three year plan can actually start moving forward but this patch was 2 giant steps back.

Even if the abundance of steals or smothering defense wasn’t an issue with this patch, the game isn’t ready for what EA was trying to implement and is why the game animates so horribly now. These ugly animations are all caused by forced band aids to what EA believes are the issues with the game. On top of that when the game was being made you can tell there was no intention of having players play the lanes and intercept passes like they do. You can tell by the logic you see in game, there isn’t any.

Im done ranting but I’ll leave it at this. In my opinion they of course should try and patch the game from community requests but if it fundamentally borks the game, wait and implement the things properly for next years game. Honestly this game isn’t the same game I bought and I feel kinda ripped off at this point.

I'm a pretty forgiving sort of guy, especially when it comes to games. But yeah man, I am right there with ya. You summarized my feelings pretty darn well.

The fun factor of the game has completely evaporated for me. I'll keep it installed on my PS4 HD for now in hopes they revert this patch, but I have zero interest in playing it right now.

I thought there were no injuries in Franchise? Did this get patched and i missed it? guys on youtube are telling me there are injuries.
