[quote=cabrillo24;2040308816]UPDATED 10/12/2009 Final

To start off, this game plays very well out of the box. With each itiration of NBA Live, less slider modificaitons are needed. A lot of that is thanks to the Dynamic DNA which is allowing players to play more like themselves.

Sim heads like myself love to play 10-12; however, in the past stats weren't very sim like. Initially when you play the game, the stats will appear sim like; however, I think its part of re-learning how to play NBA Live after their drastic changes this year. Once you adapt, stats (especially shots taken and FG% become inflated). That's expected with any game (the more you play it the easier it becomes).

One a final note:
I'm very dissapointed in the Live development team from preventing users to search for uploaded content to the EA Locker. There is a work around, you have to know the user's gamertag, find them on the leaderboards and access their profile to view their content and download it. For those who want to go that route:

As promomised, enjoy. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated:

I really like these sliders. Good work, cabrillo. Ive only played one game so far, but the computer seemed to throw a lot of alley-oops. I liked the increased fastbreak points. Do you play on 12 minute quarters? I always seems to get too many FG attempts on 12.

The alley oops depend on who you're playing against (from what I've seen). Playing against the Nets I saw maybe 3 attempts total...against New Orleans I've seen 4 attempts in the first half (still have 5 minutes to go).

I play 12 minute quarters. The FG attempts will be high, but with the shooting slider modifications you should see crazy scores, especially if you play the right way.

Re: &gt;&gt;&gt; cabrillo24's NBA Live 2010 Gameplay Sliders &lt;&lt;&lt;

Played as the Rockets with out Yao against the Mavs. The Mavs built an early lead bec I wasnt shooting well early on. Then I started to move the ball, with Scola and Tmac doing the damage. Kept it up, til I built a decent lead heading in to the fourth.

Fourth quarter Nowitzki went on a rampage. Was even pulling those euro step moves which btw was kinda rad to see. The game was close til the dying seconds. we both had key defensive stops til we got the ball back with the Mavs leading by two thanks to Dirk's Ft's with 6 seconds left. I then set up Tmac for the win,the cpu then doubled, kicked it out to Brooks for the wide open 3, heartbreak miss. Even Tmac cant beleive it lol....

Stats shooting percentages are in the 40's, fbreak numbers were there, rebounds, 3point %, number of fouls called were all to me decent. Im only playing 8 minute quarters. Im satisfied with how the games play out.

Has it ever been so much fun to lose?

In a way yes, although I hate losing, but again that how games play out in real life, its amazing that it can be done in a video game....

I was struggling to find a reason to not trade this game in already before trying your sliders.

After using them I can't stop playing this game! Awesome. Thanks man.

Wow, I'm appreciating all the positive feedback. Remember this is a community effort.

NBA Live '10 is really good out of the box, just needed a little modifying for those who want a little more. The game is not perfect (which game really is?) Hopefully the developers are taking notes to some of the gripes that can't be addressed by sliders.

Re: &gt;&gt;&gt; cabrillo24's NBA Live 2010 Gameplay Sliders &lt;&lt;&lt;

ah, ok. let me know when you could. thanks.

My man, sorry for getting to you so late. You go to Roster > Edit Players > Edit Player Ratings > Once in there you'll see highlghted "EDIT ALL PLAYERS" That's where you edit Agility, Vertical etc.

Re: &gt;&gt;&gt; cabrillo24's NBA Live 2010 Gameplay Sliders &lt;&lt;&lt;





free throw disparity is due to the CPU fouling to stop the clock. I got about 8-10 free throws in the last minute.

Next game vs. Heat....lets see how many times Wade goes to the line...

Side note. Lebron James was the East Player of the Month: 23.4 PPG (a little low, but Shaq is now on the team so I can live with this), 1.7 blocks, 1.4 steals...but only 1.8 assist per game? What's up with that EA?

How do the global player edits effect the DNA updates? I would assume that I would have to do them all over again every time I downloaded a new DNA update, correct? Thanks.

Re: &gt;&gt;&gt; cabrillo24's NBA Live 2010 Gameplay Sliders &lt;&lt;&lt;

These sliders improved the game slightly, but its still infuriating. CPU is still shooting over 50%. Really, the CPU can just do whatever they want to do. If they're open, they never miss, period. If the shot is contested, they still make it the majority of the time. When they drive to the basket, its basically a guaranteed layup/dunk, or a foul. I just really can't stop them when im on D.

CPU defense is still ridiculous. I lowered the CPU steal and Interception sliders waaaay down from what you have them at, and I still can't make a simple entry pass down low. Getting an offensive rebound is basically pointless, as it usually ends up getting stolen before I have a chance to pass it back out.

Human FG% is great with these sliders. Thats actually what kept me from qutting on the game earlier lol

Who knows, maybe i'm just terrible at this game. Overall, these sliders are the best out there, its just that there is too much wrong with the game to be fixed.

The theory is that once the DNA updates come out that they would be wiped. No one knows for sure. For offline Dynasty mode gamers it will be unaffected.

Thanks for the feedback. As you can see by my screen shots, the biggest issue seems to be the high amount of field goal attempts by the CPU. The CPU has yet to shoot over 45% on me, and I've shot no higher than 46% I believe.

I think you just need some more practice with the game. Remember, All-Star mode was designed to present a challenge to simulation vets. I don't know what else to tell you, but hopefully with a little more playing you can get acclimiated to the game and the sliders. Remember, with this iteration of Live you really have to undo some of the things you were used to doing before. Not a bash at your playing abilities, its an adjustment period for all users, but really rewarding once you adapt.

Yeah, I just really don't know what it is that i'm doing wrong, especially on defense. No matter who it is, they'll be covered, go up for a terrible jump shot, and hit it like it was nothing. No defense can do anything about that. A lot of things that happen I can tell its my fault, but stuff like that just makes me turn the game off immediately lol.

My only problem is lowering the all the player ratings. I feel like that kind of flies in the face of the work they did with developing those ratings at EA and makes the game somewhat less realistic. Is it really mandatory? What does it do exactly?

I wouldnt say its absolutely necessary, but it helps. it just slows the game down some and gets rid of a bit of the jerkiness in the animations. I even saw one of the developers say that they may implement it into their roster updates. I think that alone says alot. Players will still play like they are supposed to though, if thats what your worried about.

Also Cabrillo are you still seeing alot of the silly steals/steal attempts with your sliders? that is the one thing that keeps me from truly enjoying this game.
