NBA Live 10 Patch #2 Available For 360 & PS3, Post Impressions Here

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch #2 Available For 360 & PS3, Post Impressions Here

That 2nd vid Joker posted was a pretty nice sample of the improved CPU offense. Couple fadeaways but things looked really good overall.

Played one game post patch, Knicks/Clips. Biggest thing I noticed was what loadleft mentioned that you don't get sucked into contact animations anymore. I definitely need to tweak my sliders now because it's too easy to get to the rim because I had the Help D slider lowered to try and cut down on the contact. Very good news.

Really digging the game right now but I think the DNA's progression/improvement has way more to do with this game getting better than patch 2. For the first time since release week I'm really, really pumped to play this game and semi addicted to it.

You're showing a video of you against the CPU chucking threes and hitting them.

The CPU isn't pressing up on you. All that video is showing you exploiting how the game relies heavily on DNA to dictate user shot success.

.

Pared , CPU isnt pressing after i hit like eight three pointers ? Well then is the AI at fault ?

It wont matter if USER is guarding these plays because there is a magnetic force between defender and ball handler that doesnt allow the defender to close down the shooter quick enough before he gets to the HOTSPOTS ....

Im frustrated because i tried TIGHT DEFENSE, manually chasing around while holding R1 and not holding R1, also tried timing the contest shots ...

As strategy goes....
I should be able to use my best on ball defender vs shooter
I should be able to use tight defense vs shooter

It just feels like even when i do this , they find hotspots and then i lose hope on even trying to coach or adjust.

As I said before, if you can't accept the flaws of the game by now, you should just stop playing. You are only making yourself upset.

I know player will attempt these shots. I just have to be disciplined enough to make them miss enough times to get the win. This is where the reality of a video game steps in. I know it shouldn't happen, but, if I want to play this game online...i need to figure out a way to stop it. Or I will never enjoy myself while playing. It's just something you have to accept until the next version of the game.

Can we get some more impressions on fastbreaks ???

Can you actually get a transition basket off a missed shot now ??

I was only really able to run a fastbreak of a turnover at the top of the 3 pt line.....(pre patch # 2)

Dunno, I was always able to do this. What camera angle do you play on? Using baseline high I can see up the floor find and hit an open man easily. On other cameras this is much more difficult obviously.

I have yet to play post 2nd patch as i haev been in online franchise wonderland in madden.

Is the floor spacing and off ball movement of teammates, back to their pre patch level for both the user and CPU

Played my 1st game of Live 10 online and was able to see for myself what guys are talking about gamers using Bibby and jacking away 3's.

I lost by 6 or 7 but the guy kept shooting 3's with Bibby. He was 7 for 17 just from 3 pt land. When we started and he picked Atlanta I kind of knew what was coming.

Overall it was a fun game. Just no way in hell a player should be able to do that and not tire. He would have done better but I switched to double team and tight D on Bibby and thats probably why he shot under 50% from 3. If EA can find a way to fix that I would play this game online a ton. Peace!!!

How is going 7 for 17 from downtown an indicator that the game is flawed? Seriously, that's 41%. He's a career 38% shooter from downtown. The only problem is he's taking more than he normally does but I don't see a real advantage to it. And shooting the basketball doesn't make you tired. I don't see a big red flag in your post.

I got the patch the other day for the PS3.. and although there are no massive changes the game seems to just play smoother and more intellegently.

I liked the game before, but with the OT bug gone and some other small improvements I'm perfectly happy with it.

The one thing I did notice is that the CPU doesnt rush shots as much.. and as a result I got a more realistic end score with 12 minute quarters. Its hard to put my finger on other things.. but the game just seems more solid and the AI takes far less stupid shots.

I'm really glad I switched to NBA Live this year.. I went through a week or so of thinking maybe I'd buy 2K but Live is proving too much fun for me to switch back. I can overlook its faults when the gameplay is really solid.. I'm even quite liking the Dynasty mode right now.. this is the best playing basketball game i've seen for years.

Oh and about the 3pt shooting thing.. I've honestly not found it a problem. Once in a online team up game I saw one guy playing as Nash just taking ridiculous 3s over and over.. but thats it. I've had people try it on me but once you figure them out they are very easy to defend. I dont think the percentages are broken.. you just need to get a hand in their face.

I too am puzzled by that.

It's not the game, its the players (as was previously stated). If someone does that, they'll play without me.

You can't blame EA for idiots playing Cheese Ball.

I'm trying to say the same things over and over, it's not the game itself glitched, it's the people minds, this game is near perfect for online games.

Running full speed nonstop everytime down court can possibly and should make you fatigued. I just posted my impression and agreed that I found it odd how someone could play with 1 player and be successful. I never said the game was flawed, I for the most part enjoyed my experience. My intent was not to knock the game rudyjuly2, simply posting my online exp.

I went back and re-read my post and I did mention if EA could fix this. It's nothing EA can fix it's user abuse. I guess they could make the player tire faster but either way it's not that big of a deal to me. People are gonna play how they want anyway.

As a guy that played 5-10 games a week, almost all Dynamic Season (I just go into Dynamic Season Rewind and find a matchup that looks fun), I have to say this game is great.

Teams play like themselves, the stars shine, and if you play guys (or teams) out of context, you're much less successful. To me that's a big deal. When I play the CPU, there's something very satisfying about watching Rose drive and when I collapse, he kicks out to Heinrich for a spot up three and... SPLASH!!

I enjoying it immensely. Good basketball is rewarded (both offensively and defensively), and that is the biggest compliment that I can give it.

If there WAS a secret move or play that worked every time (cheese), I simply wouldn't do it. That wouldn't be fun for me.

As it stands now, I think it's a very, very solid basketball platform that can be built upon by EA in the future. Perfect? Nah, but really good.
