***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

I'm very happy with these sliders Tomba... i put the foul sliders up just a little to get 1-2 extra calls a game without causing the flow of the game to be hindered. Love the camera and brightness too.

Now if we could only get teams to run a few more fast breaks

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

I plan on using your sliders later Tomba, but I'll check out the camera angle tonight

I might be using those contrast settings already

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

true. But in general the contrast in the game is to vivid. If you look at a game like MLb 08 where the contrast and lighting are very true to life(albeit being outside) the overall look is more matt or flat. meaning the players can absorb the light more naturally. allowing this in NBA Live 09 makes everything look more realistic and therefore even better with some of the animations that are lacking or completely not there.

the example i mean is when you have a white jersey. If the white is too bright you get slowdown...try out two teams with darker jerseys and you will see exactly what i mean. it makes everything look more fluid because of it because you take out the large contrast of a bright color. so in fact if you lower the contrast which is almost the same as this you can slightly eliminate the way the game handles such contrast. and remember back in 08 they ahd to do this(thats why they added the feature) to make the framerate steady.

not at all man, I tried your contrast settngs tonight and they are no,no for my TV.

Ohh the fast break thing IS fixable but i would have to go into editing the roster and looking into the player attributes and actually hindering the integrity of the DNA rosters.

Why? I'm seriousI'd like to know what kind of setting you are using. I tried this out on like 4 diff sets. Two Samsungs LCD at 720p, an LG and a standard widescreen tube hdtv.

Are your contrast settings lower? For the reason stated above it works wonders my friend.

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

just seems really bright and washes out the color a little

Im not sure if thats what you were aiming for

Its probably gonna take a minute to get used to it from the dark rich color you're used to watching tv with

Ohh no what i meant was(and i'm just trying to understand not hound or debate you know that:wink it's just that to me INSIDE this game there is a contrast issue that hurts the gameplay smoothness thats attributed to too much darkness or "richness" like you put it.

As far washing out the color I could only imagine that you're playing with less sharpness controls or on a lower res than 720p OR you're playing with 1080p and THAT is the reason why on NBA live it might seem washed out to you. You see 1080p seems to be good BUT it does wash up some of the detail when playing in a more native 720p. where's BehindShadows when i need him LOL

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

nah i have mine on 720 p and my settings were close to yours actually.

I think I had brightness one click back so it was darker to me, but they arent washed out... i just meant they probably appear that way to FF because normally you dont watch tv with these kinds of settings

when I use these settings, It looks like the areas are filled with smoke and instead of playing basketball I should be evacuating.

I told ya Tomba, every set is different, I leave hose settings a lone and the game looks just fine.

You must have your overall brightness on you tv set very high then.

Because I agree with you about the smoke. But NOT in NBA Live 09 but in Fifa 09 where their brightness control actually makes the game more washed out.

What i mean is i use the same tv settings for NBA Live 09 and fifa and since they both have the brightness control you would think that they would act the same? but they don't. On NBA live 09 the brightness is a different animal altogtehr and on Fifa 09 it's different as well. i agree with the smoke look but it happens in Fifa 09 with the same tv settings i use for nba live 09.

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

FF is right, initially it looks exactly like they just set off the fireworks and started the game immediately after the last one, and thats what I was trying to say he probably felt.

That's the reason I initially had brightness down one notch from yours but as I played on it didn't bother me.

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

Tomba:

Fantastic slider set as usual. What did you do to make the 'and one' shots go away? When I tried playmakers sliders every foul seemed to be an and one and now I think I have only seen a couple in four games.

Is there anything you can edit on the player to make it so the bigs don't look like they are just jogging up court when you are hitting turbo to get them to run? I don't expect them to be fast but right now it looks like they are on a nature hike or something.

Thanks for the words man!

As far as your second question. yes but you have to gp and edit things globally attribute wise which comprimises the integrity of DNA...

I'll admit I'm but I wouldn't be posting it unless it didn't significantly do something.

i guess the "too you liking" is key with that setting for most....

Re: ***The Tomba Formula***NBA Live 09 Slider Settings

Now I have not intention of downloading updated DNA throughout the year. Are you saying it would mess with that or that it would mess with the existing DNA that shipped with the game?

What attribute(s) would you adjust for the bigs? And are there any others you would modify to make the game better? Also can you do global editing in Live 09?
