it's contextual, not like last year. This could be good and bad. I'm loving the game though.

Yeah your right. You have to slowly move in with the player. Thats a really bad idea whoever came up with that.

They should just add it so when you click down the R stick it engages 'low post mode' then when you click again (or shoot or pass away the ball) it disengages.

I'll try out a RS click for post tomorrow. Shouldn't be an issue to patch it.

Also someone earlier questioned why I didn't say definitively that the stagnant AI bug in the demo was fixed in the final version. I just didn't want to put a 100% guarantee on anything because it's an elusive bug. It cropped up a few times throughout the year and always had a different cause. To the best of my knowledge, it's completely fixed in the final version. In other words, I haven't seen it happen in any of my games over the past few weeks.

Great to know.

Hey Beluba do you think you could make a list of things that are wrong with the demo that are fixed on the final if you have a chance? Thanks and from the impressions so far I can't wait to get my hands on the demo and the final when it comes out. Great job!

So it seems this was touched on but I can't find a good explanation... how do you post up...?

[BTB]

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Btw I completely disagree with the suggestion to make post up clicking the r stick. They had that in 2k for a year and it was terrible, not intuitive at all. Posting up should be smooth and seemless, having it be a trigger is perfect. They should make it L1 and then switch the quick play button to clicking the r stick, makes a lot more sense.

That's a pretty good indication that you guys sorted it out then. Even if not completely, I could live with it happening once every 15 games or so. As it is with the demo though, It's happening once every other posession.

I'll be curious to see how the post up button works out.

The rebounding I don't have a problem with, but do you have suggestions for boxing out?

If my man is right in front of me, then the blocking is fine and I can time those well. But sometimes my defender attempts a block in the wrong direction or jumps straight up in the air. Nobdy is pouting, these are just observations from the demo but maybe you can clue us in.

I'm all for constructive feedback. My point was directed at those saying that they played the game for 2 minutes and then turned it off. Some around here just doesn't want the game to be any good and I don't get it. I'd love to have 2 outstanding basketball games to choose from every year. I'm even disappointed that Sony gave up on their series (I hope it comes back next year). I hope 2K10 dazzle us as well.

As far as rebounding in Live 10 is concerned, I'm still playing at Superstar and cleaning the glass has been a smooth experience for me (specially with Gasol and Howard). I'm not worrying too much about boxing out using the "Y" button because it has been no use.

Instead, I'm getting into position and timing the button press. And I think I've mastered it. And I'm no God of the sticks or something like that. So what I'm saying is: if even I could master it, I believe all of you can as well. And that should mean that the rebounding mechanic isn't broken.

YEP!

I posted this in another thread and it reduces the fast animations. I have it at 20-22 overall can't remember. The default setting is 26 I think no longer at 50.

But anyways since I started messing with sliders the demo got a lot better for me vs the CPU games. They removed some stuff that I think would have been great for this years game but nothing we can do about that now.

I no guys don't like fooling around with sliders and want the game to play great right out the box but sometimes you have just take 3 minutes to make a simple change like if your not getting any steals or blocks then use the sliders in the demo.

Lowering the game speed defenitely makes the game feel more realistic. As does increasing the hands on perimeter.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

the CPU steals the ball way too easily!!! after pulling down the offensive rebound u automatically lose the ball or get stripped or put up a bad shot!!! no charges called when good defense is played just defensive fouls!!!! too many fouls are called on bad shot attemps!!! when pg's go to the hole and challenge a big man the point guard should lose majority of the time and get his shot blocked!!! when I use the freestyle passing option I tend to throw the ball back over half court if one of my men are still back there, that should definitely be fixed!!! no collisions on dunk attempts!!! the alley-oop system is horrible!!! other than that the game is great but with those problems addressed it will b a beautiful thing....

For posting up, the best way to have it is as RB. Make Right CLick the quick play.

If possible can tip dunks be added to the game in a patch?

Press x and hold right trigger for tip dunks.

Press x for tip ins.

I don't think it's that easy.

Re: NBA Live 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Yeah i think he's already stated in a post that it would take MAJOR work to get tip dunks to work so it won't be possible via patch. It's a shame but not a game killer imo.
