Re: Official NBA Live 2009 Post Patch Discussion
First impressions. Im truly disappointed. Here are my quick thoughts after my first game post patch. I will post more in depth later after i get a full night of playing in.
Pro's
____
- Blocking animations are quicker
- nets seem more active
Con's
____
- easier FT's? WHY, they were way too easy in the first place.
Everyone now has like 8 bars. Its pointless to even tap to distract. I proved to my friend I can close my eyes and still make it with Detroits crappiest FT shooters. I havent seen anyone miss one yet.
- Where did the defense go? Fastbreaks are now easier than ever. And the big man cheese is unstoppable.
- Animations are a being sucked in all over the place. I burn a defender, then all of a sudden they warp back in front of me.
- nets seem more active(yes this is a pro/con) Now they get stuck on the rim and stay that way all game.
- Superstars like kobe and lebron just "ignore" the defender and go "through" the defender. this happened pre-patch, but now is much worse.
- Did i mention how terrible the defense was now?
Anyways, now im going to go play some more, and pray i get proved wrong. If this truly is the final patch, which to me has made the game unplayable, Im done with this game.
EDIT: Note that my experiences are all online. I dont play offline and really dont care to. So if devs are going to sacrifice online play for the offline crowd, ill spend my money elsewhere. I also think that if you think what makes a good game is what color of shoes or headband each player is wearing then you might as well just watch basketball on tv. Gameplay is what makes a game. And this patch so far is a huge step back in overall gameplay online.

. Is there anyway the Pistons or the Mavericks can be fixed? It's great how you guys have stayed up to date each week. It makes you want to play the game even more just to see what's changed. Great job this year.
