What! Is that not the point of playing Xbox?

I think there's a couple of different types of gamers here. A lot of people love the online experience. A lot of people do not. Maybe I've just had a limited look, but in my couple of free month trials of XBoxLive Gold, I'm just not a big fan of online basketball. I much prefer the computer or a friend. As it stands, none of my friends are really online gamers.

Guys i honestly think we can ring this game up as a fail i mean really.. I know the live fans want to try so hard to say NO no NO!..its not a final build or how early is this,...but man after watching those vids they don't even look like they could contest with Nba 2k10 i mean really..like there just not good vids of this game..trust me. why would they ship a build of a game that is in its early stages to live community event a month from its release what you see in those visd is what your probably going to get i mean Take note they haven't released any gameplay vids and its quite obvious

Another issue I had while I was there. Most of these dunks from that far out are just need to be scrapped. No one can do those dunks in that context. However, it's user-controlled whether or not you try those dunks, you can just as easily choose to do a layup animation - my beef is that you even have the option. Pared and I talked in detail about this.

I'm not sure the problem is having an option to attempt a dunk from the freethrow line with Boozer. With the path EA is going users should have the option, but the result 100 times out of 100 should be Boozer falling short of the rim and on his face.

If you try it with LeBron on a fast break, maybe you should make it 5 times out of a 100.

This what concerns me as well as the "Crappy" video's. I could be wrong but I have not seen any gameplay vid's by EA. The last time EA held video's back until the last minute the game was a complete mess. Could this be the case again??? I believe it was Live 07. Correct me if I'm wrong

I feel the option to do those dunks should be taken away for sure because its just not realistic.

Guys can't take two steps and then just fly to the basket like they need more momentum hopefully rEAnimator's comment on dunk range was the issue. If they tone that down and then lower the vert of some players unrealistic things like that will hopefully not be an issue.

But who knows..when it comes to EA and ratings they haven't really shown a desire to update them these last few years...

This has been my stance. Dont limited what we can do limited the sucess rate. Also have a completely different set of animations for guys who should be attempting said moves from the guys who shouldnt.

if there is not a specific dunk button in the game or a layup button or a shot button then people don't have the freedom to choose to attempt a specific action so there has to be some kind of logic in the game that puts some kind of limitation on what each player is capable of doing, what happened there should have resulted in a jump shot not a dunk the logic is clearly broken there is no way to look at this as a positive.

There is a specific way to do dunks its up on the stick same way you shoot a jumpshot.

But you are right considering the conditions Boozer was is in it should have been a jumper or at least that leaning runner shot.

I'm not in the group that supports giving everyone the ability and limiting the success rate. That said, the game does have a specific and separate dunk, layup, and shot control. You press towards the basket and Up on the skill stick and you will attempt a dunk. You roll up from left or right and you attempt a layup. You leave the LS neutral and it is a shot.

For those that are saying the problem isn't that Boozer attempted the dunk but that he made it, that is inconsistent with players that can't/don't dunk. Take Fisher, UP on the stick for fisher doesn't have him attempt a dunk, but a layup, why? Because he doesn't dunk.

So already there are context sensitive (as far as who is doing it) animation limits.

By the logic i'm reading from you guys, Fisher should attempt a dunk and get rim-checked instead. I can't agree with that. It makes more sense and is more sim to give guys packages that fit their real life counterpart than to let anyone do anything for the sake of preaching total control.

For the Boozer dunk, he should have jumped up in layup animation like what Fisher had because the game should know that he can not dunk from there. From there, physics should have led to a collision of some sort. The dunk range should be reduced but it makes you question the people playing this game everyday that we have to point that out. It's not like it's Ron Artest from the dotted circle, it's guys from the free throw line.

I meant separate buttons once upon a time Live had designated buttons for dunks and lay ups, I was pointing out the flaw in oOausarOo comment in saying he does not see a reason boozer should not attempt a free throw line dunk if the user decided to, because the user does not have an option to choose dunks, layup and shots because they are all controlled by pressing up on the controller the distance from the basket plays an important role in determining what happens as well as momentum.

You can control layups, dunks, and shots. As Tha_Kid said layups are up and roll to the right or left on right stick while pushing Lstick forward

dunks up on stick while moving Lstick forward.

And Jumpers are just up on right stick while left stick is neutral.

But you are right distance does determine what will happen especially on dunks. So that's why I said the dunk range and vertical needs to be toned down heavily so that things are more realistic in that specific situation.
