NBA LIVE 10 Feedback Thread

[SHOGUN]

Glad to see you around again, Bossman. I hope you'll stay around and not get spooked by some of the meaner posters. Lets get this I dislike how your game looks. Arenas and such are great, but the player models need serious work. Gameplay in 09 was actually solid and headed in the right direction. I loved NCAA Basketball 09, so I'm really excited for this game - especially since 2K dropped the ball on Franchise Mode last year.

I have a couple of questions.

Will Carmelo Anthony be accurately rated or massively underrated like always?

Why don't you guys take advantage of NCAA Basketball series and allow us to import draft classes? If not this year, will it be looked at in the future? I really dislike random generated classes.

Will the hustle plays and steals be overpowered and occur often? Are there variations of this animation?

Will teams play more like themselves and in Franchise Mode will new coaches bring that style of play to that new team? For example, if D'Antoni goes to San Antonio Spurs will the Spurs become a faster-paced team?

Can we adjust players accessories and colors without having them reset by the DNA updates?

In Franchise Mode can we set team accessories colors for HOME and AWAY?

Will we finally be allowed to add and remove headbands from players on our own instead of waiting for the roster updates?

What up NOBLE? Hope you're doing well my man. You'll be happy with Melo this year dude, he's sick. You don't like our player models? We redid them, and added more body types. I think when you see them up close this year, you'll notice a difference.

You can set team accessories and colors and it won't be overwritten. Yes, you'll be able to remove headbands as well, but it will then be saved off as a separate roster file

NCAA roster import is actually a bigger issue than you'd think. Yes, we had the tech during the current gen days, but that was never carried over and it would have to be re-coded. We know it's a big thing for you guys, but when we had to divide up resources, we had no choice but to put most / all towards gameplay. We think you'll see that in the demo.

Hustle plays and steals are by no means overpowered. That doesn't mean though that if you're constantly trying to drive and force the drive you aren't going to get ripped because you will.

Happy to answer any other Q's man. Good to see you again!

 

[stevsta]

You have gotten my attention stephen I just might be enticed to buy both (b/c kobe on a cover=must buy)

assuming I like the demo of course

 

[Tengo Juego]

Noted but you're still talking about playing an AI opponent.

I dont understand this. As long as the control and gameplay are down pat, why would playing an AI opponent be bad for H2H players?

Designing a game for H2H=bad for offline players. Madden 10 is a perfect example of this.

I read Czar's post. I liked it. I think hes a little too excited, but I like to hear that locomotion and momentum are stand out improvements. Now make sure you guys share this with Madden devs. :happy:

There is no comparison, football game to basketball game.

Who said basketball is the same as football? You gonna give a legitimate response to my question?

 

[Joey P]

Well, most 'sim' guys wouldn't try to exploit the AI, they would go with the flow and try not to over do it. Many h2h guys would find a move and over do it.

And I said GAME not sport.

 

[Tengo Juego]

There is definitely similarities. But I'm not here to discuss that.

Your concern is that, for example, a specific move or "tactic" in H2H having a high success rate against another user? And then that opponent abusing it? Is that really avoidable in a sports game? Unless you play someone who you know plays sim.

 

[Joey P]

And here lies our problem, why should people play sim? Shouldn't the game force you into being a sim player instead of putting certain restrictions on your playstyle?

 

[Tengo Juego]

Well, I think the term "sim" is taken too heavily nowadays. I think these games should be made to play the game the right way. Its not right to have a player be able to run around and dunk every time they have the ball. Or to run down court and jack up a three point shot and be successful. If you want to play the game like that, then I think the lower difficulties should allow this, and the more difficult ones to not allow this. So in H2H, if you want the most realistic game experience, you bump it to a higher level. And vice versa for those who dont.

And maybe not even have to label these standards as "easy" or "hard." Maybe find a different way to differentiate. Thats my belief on the way these games should be tailored when trying to appeal to two(or more) different audiences.

And as far as whether or not you are satisfied with the way it is setup for Live 10, well thats when the demo will serve its purpose. September 10th is the date. Tell your homies to have their controllers ready.

 

[Joey P]

I'd rather play the full game, head to head, instead of the demo.

 

[Tengo Juego]

Thats too bad lol. Cause the demo comes out first. Unless you plan on just buying the game without playing the demo.

It's not 100% avoidble but game makers can make it harder to abuse things . Example

On 2k you could throw football passes with any player down the court ..... so they added a feature where if you do that the ball will 9/10 go out of play this year unless you are doing it with a real good passer .

I honestly feel like EA and other companies should get people in who are trying to find shit to abuse . Let them take there best shot at exposing flaws and abusing things then try your best to fix or tone them down .

 

[Joey P]

I called it, he played a CPU AI. No scores, did he beat the AI easily or did they just look good playing against him?

When tend to play to the level of our opponent, H2H or AI. Did he try to overuse moves of effectiveness?

So when a person plays H2H/online, the real review will commence.

I understand its good to get a 'respected community member" in to help evaluate the game. Why not get a world renowned cheeser in to break the AI adaptability?

If that makes any sense...

I said this already

 

[Archer]

I should read back on things then

Good point you made

Edit: Just went back and saw it on page 3 and thanked it

I agree, They seem to always bring in the sim guys instead of someone who...well..cheeses. They need to bring in sim players and freestyle players to community events.

 

[Joey P]

I'm still on my knees steph.

Coming out party? LOL

 

[Maestro]

I am looking forward to Live this year. The gameplay looks smooth to me, i was a Live fan on the pre gen systems but since my switch over to next gen Live has not been the same.

But this year i actually have a little optimism that i will be able to get through a full game.

And welcome to VSN

 

[Whatupdoe44]

I have always been a 2k guy, and loyal to the game (to a fault id say)

Cool you came over here to talk Live with us, the videos I have seen show that the game has really improved, most notably the new player models which I think look VERY good. and I will definitley give the demo a look this year, and decide on whether to buy it. Especially since my boy Dwight is on the cover.

I havent read too many reviews on Live 10, Question, anything added to franchise mode?? Also how are the post moves in Live??? will it just be running around a guy and dunking or are there alot of specific post moves???

 

[Lupe]

You know Live's not that bad. If you get some damn good sliders (and I mean damn good), you can actually get some pretty realistic scores and stats.

Not about realistic scores and stats it's the gameplay
