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

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

Its not about it being mapped to the LT, its about it not being mapped AT ALL. I just don't know how practical it will be to have to click the stick to initiate the post animation and click it again (I suppose?) to deactivate it.

I really don't see this as a problem because i can post up contextually whenever I want to. what is the advantage to having it mapped?

I've played this demo alot and I agree with all the pro's and cons of the game.... with that being said I would probably give the retail version of this game a score around....7.9 it will be good but not great....

maybe a serious patch real early would help the score....

A couple of days ago I probably would have got upset and said you are crazy if you think this game warrants that low of a score.

But after several more games just vs the CPU I got really frustrated and I don't think it plays like a 9.0 anymore which was my initial impression.

I'm not going to give it a grade now because it's unfair simply because the game isn't complete and they might add or fix things based on all of the feedback.

I had more fun playing it head to head the 1st day I downloaded it. It went downhill once I played the CPU more. But it might just be me and the overall expectations i had at first.

When you guys say RB, do you mean click it or hold it down?

Im in favor of some button solution so that I can post up on the perimeter and the fact that it will take people months to get used to the get ripped or slight stick move auto the post up thing.

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

Having a manual option would be nice for those times when you want to post up but you're not quite in a position for the contextual post up to kick in.

RB, I think just a click rather than hold. as it would then start getting too fiddly, (i.e. right hand potentially doing RB, RT and RS movements at the same time)

Ultimately LT or LB is the most natural position for a post up button (and could then work for Blocking out on D) But I think that kind of change is for another year.

Having said all that... the passing controls are outstanding this year and wouldn't want to change them.

When you put them up against each other...

LT - The linch-pin button for an amazingly in-depth and intuitive passing system

OR

LT - A button that initiates post up... (a purpose that could be served any other available button)

I think passing gets priority here.


Anyway, very happy to hear you guys are listening, Mike.



I'd be happy to see quick play move to a stick button.

IMO posting up on the perimeter just doesn't happen often or at all...I think some of used to use that tactic in prior LIve versions where we would post on the perimeter and spin off the defender to get free. Watch a couple of NBA games and I doubt if you will see it often, if at all...

now one thing I would like to see is players able to bang a bit more but the cpu usually doubles down on the post when my big tries to get his post offense on.

I think alot of people want a button just outta comfort and familiarity...I personally see no need to add yet another button push if what I want can be done contextually...seems unnecessary to me

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

hey !! guys

another ideal !

chage the LB( play calling) to D-pad left (not used)

and the post up is LB...

what do you think??

[Dantecamp21]

I guess we're all being proactive in this matter of the post up button and that's what constructive feedback is all about.

But I don't think they can make too many changes to the control scheme.

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

Thoughts on controller layout for next year

LT Post up/Blocking Out/Defensive Assist

LB Passing

RB Playcalling

The left controls could be switched around.

Note: The current fix being discussed is a good fix, just throwing my .02 in.

Good idea, but I think a shoulder button is better for *playcalling.

The reason...

You keep movement control of your player. You can keep him out of trouble while you're selecting a play

With the D-Pad you lose that control for a moment and that could be disastrous against aggressive D. It would also break the flow a bit.

D-pad isn't a bad place for play calling, but I think shoulder buttons are better.

Oops, meant playcalling, not passing...

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

Do you have hold the RT (turbo) for standing dunks or dunks right under the basket, or is it contextual?

I keep doing a crappy big man sizeup under the rack with Dwight and getting stripped when I just want to go straight up and dunk on someones head.

posting up on the perimeter in past lives caused cheesing with goto moves which made the past ones unrealistic, now you guys want sim but you want to be able to post up anywhere on the court when u have to work your way into post position irl if ur going to that spot off the dribble. Now if they can make it so that you can't post up outside of natural post positions on the court then I'll be fine with the button add I just think the way it is now makes for a much better sim game... this is why I say get used to the controls before stating that something is broken because I post when ever I get that position on the court to do so. Really learn the game because some of these suggestions will make the game a cheese fest and unrealistic.

I love that they have the actual sounds from Laker games. Makes it feel more authentic and that I'm actually in the arena.

Yep, the authentic sounds are great.

[authentic24]

But since Mike Wang said it will still be contextual I guess its okay I just don't want to get sucked into a post up unnaturally....... but what will happen when you press the button and nothing happens people will still have the same reaction and more to complain about and say its unresponsive. And u know what unresponive controls mean..... bad ratings bad ratings will lead to the dev team being dismantled and a ****ty game the following year. Idk I'm just ranting because I like the control scheme of any game that requires some skill to utilize. And I also think some people have no patience they wanna run down court and post with 20 secs still left on the shot clock lol.
