Guys, please give us some specifics when describing these wonderful happenings regarding gameplay. Are you playing the full game with the inclusion of the latest patch to achieve these results? Are these on default slider settings or have they been altered for more contact in the paint or both? This will help clear up some confusion and hopefully satisfy inquiring minds. Sincerely looking forward to the retail game on Tuesday.

Oh, by the way, while harping about a need for more variety in defensive players movement or animation after a fake out or crossover, I saw a fantastic new animation unfold right before my eyes during a demo game vs Warriors. I basically hit a stutter step with Kyrie and Curry slid backwards on all fours! Has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Slick and sick as hell! I saw a similar animation in the other game last night and loved it so this is great news! Very appropriate for that play. Question: Can this type of animation be added via the daily updates? Never seen this one during my games. Hopefully they can reduce the frequency of the cpu defender completely falling for the fake. I can understand a partial freeze occurring more often. Good stuff.

Anybody see more missed shots? Just held the cpu to 39%

Is online head to head open?

I saw a steam last night of what looked like 2 humans. It was crazy how many dunks I saw in that short amount of time. They weren't the most "sim" of players, but they weren't the worst either. I saw at least 7-8 dunks in my little time watching. There was a point in the stream where a guy said "I didn't even mean to dunk that"....

It's like if you don't get the "shoulder block" contact animation on the initial gather you're done for....I don't see many instances where your defender walls off the driver...

The defense online is very weak which I really hate. You can literally drive to the hole all game due to the weak inside defense. It gets very boring once you face someone that just drives into the lane all game even when you select "pack the paint" on defense.

Possibly another update. I fired this up a minute ago but the update has a date of 9/23. Only have about 10 minutes to fool with this before work. Will report back if I notice anything.

Right. Very weak online and offline sans sliders. Guy's are there....but its it's cosmetic, b\c too often there is no contact. I honestly don't know if this is going to get any better with the system they have in place. It honestly seems worse than last year. Are we still waiting on THE day 1 patch or has it dropped?

Umm I hate to disappoint you but they completely ignored offline gamers this year. While the gameplay is better this year, Dynasty mode and Rising Star mode have been untouched this year which is upsetting.

No problem dude. The game is still awesome in my opinion it's just upsetting that they seem to only focus on one part of the game a year. Hopefully they can improve numerous modes for Live 17

# 633 nick_sr @ 09/28/15 10:24 PM

Anyone feel ea is tweaking the demo? Man I'm seeing some amazing things! Can't wait for 3pm tomorrow so I can fly home from work lol

Well I'll let you know tomorrow. If your a guy that loves playing in the post I would wait until it's on sale. Post game has improved but still needs work.

# 636 WTF @ 09/28/15 10:46 PM

Yep, I played again tonight and was seeing some great contact animations and shot adjustments. Some really good things.

I simmed a few seasons in Dynasty, stats were on point. I'd say w gameplay updates, although largely the same as 15, I can make it through a few seasons.

# 637 Walt Frazier @ 09/28/15 11:32 PM

Just tried the demo again...it is now entirely locked except for the pro am.

I.e. You can no longer play a Bulls v Clippers game etc.

I guess that makes sense as the demo really was overly generous.

It does mean those of us without the full game will not be able to test the day one patch for gameplay differences though.

That shouldn't be the case, I am playing Bulls Vs Clippers as we speak and just loaded the game. In fact, according to Sean Obrien, you'll have full access to the demo and all its features indefinitely. There is no time limitation basically.

# 639 nick_sr @ 09/28/15 11:42 PM

Ye I was just playing n they said u can still continue to play proam

I just loaded up the demo since the other game dropped, and everything is locked. No tip off or pro-am for me, it only tells me to buy the full game. I remember someone saying it was going to be indefinitely too, just wondering if its working for others?
