question about Live's ICON PASSING.

[blues rocker]

I am a 2k guy but I think I may switch soon, and I have a question about Live's icon passing.

in nba 2k there is something about their icon passing that has always annoyed me - 2k does not give you the option to hold down the bumper button to keep the icons visible as long as you want.

in 2k, the icons automatically disappear when you make the pass, requiring you to constantly hit the bumper again and again to keep bringing back the icons. They also have a time limit after you hit the button and the pass icons will automatically disappear about 4-5 seconds after hitting the bumper button, thus the player has to hit the bumper again every time the icons disappear.

Does Live give you the option to hold down the bumper and keep the icons visible as long as you want (even after and during the pass)? This way you can string together multiple icon passes without having to constantly hit the bumper button to bring back the icons after they disappear on you.

I have read that Live allows you to do this...is it true?

cool - this feature alone is almost enough to make me switch. I can't believe that 2k still hasn't given the player the ability to keep the pass icons up as long as they hold the bumper button. i get so sick of constantly hitting the bumper when playing 2k.

Oh la la, passing has always been something that needs to be improved in basketball games. Fake-pass button as well?!?

Depends on how good it tricks the defender.

I've been trying to talk Beluba into this for years.

Well now he has the tech to do it..

..Just imagine a fake pass button tho, it would just add another touch of sim to the game, have the ability to fake the lob into dwight and bounce it around the biting defender
