Sadly, that wasn't on the Wii

In a nutshell YES...exploits are "CHEESY" for sure but "CHEESY" play can also be prevalent in the game by simply playing the game unrealistically...A perfect example would be NBA Live 10...Shooting nothing but 3Pt shots or running the same play over and over and...

No game will ever be cheese proof...I think the most irritating thing for gamers is to watch a person play a game with no respect for the sport and watch the nonsense be rewarded...I personally don't care how anyone plays...I just hate to see the cheesy tactics be rewarded.

If a cat is running around the floor with one guy jacking up 3's or trying to get dunks off every trip down the floor and I'm running plays and offense and trying to tap into the fundamentals of solid realistic game-play I feel like the game should reward me for that...I think that's something most gamers want

I completely agree with what you're saying here. We want the same thing that you want. We want people to be rewarded for playing good basketball and punished for playing bad basketball.

Hey reAnimator!

One thing that annoys me in live 10 was the inability of doing drop passes while going for a layup or a dunk. would drop passes be implemented this year?

This thread is a perfect example why companies don't release videos until closer to the release.

It's obvious the general public still can't handle an unfinished, buggy game. They just don't understand it.

And that's not a slight... more of an observation. It's tough to grasp when a certain something isn't in the game from the video... like the lack of footplanting, or missing fouls...

I think those seeing it for what it is can see the potential. Of course there is room for error, but I do get the feeling some guys are excited by the promise of the glass being half full as opposed to half empty.

I'm usually on this site just reading and rarely posting, but i can understand what Pared is saying. A lot of the time people don't seem to take the videos for what you is, right now.

It's good that the developers are releasing it, so we can have a chance to point some things out, in order to help and make the game better by release, but it all has to be in proper context.

[Pared]

That's exactly it. Maybe you should post more.

It's also why these companies are hesitant to let guys in the forums see the game in an unfinished state. We were even told this specifically when we were there and I knew that from the beginning.

The last thing you want to do is turn off your consumer but at the same time, there's no way to show them what is being worked on unless it is incomplete. It's a catch-22.

Over in the 2k forums, some guys are complaining about not having videos to complain about...? Really?

Seems like you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

I'm hoping our members can begin seeing things a bit differently when confronted with a "work in progress" video. It will only help us have better games available to buy when released... criticize constructively and to improve the game, not just to do it.

The ball physics in this game still look so odd. Sometimes it's like the ball has helium in it and then it quickly switches to air. You couple that with very weird player movements and the game looks very awkward.
