Makes sense. Patches fix things - updates make them better!

You might be actually right

since it tries to be a simulation basketball game it needs much more fluidity

the fluidity is there the way the fluidity was there for fifa 06 world cup for 360.

fifa 7 was better but it took a WHILE to get to fifa 11 status

I don't know if 4 yrs is the target for nba live on next gen tho?

Im really hoping not

Well said, for me this is exactly how I feel... The models are fine, I can live with lebron not having a beard etc. what I want to see is more responsive actions and reactions. 90% of the nba run pick n roll yet it feels so awkward in the game.. Makes me not wanna use it at all

Interestingly for me I like the pick and roll in this game. Maybe it's because I use high pick and roll with the Warriors but it works well.

Yeah, that's weird BiggD. I love the pick n roll and how the cup defends it based on prior possessions.

The only thing I wish is, the pop doesn't really pop. The picking player doesn't really work his way to am open area, they tend to just stand there. Also wish they had an indicator or what type of pick was being set.

How often are the rosters and synergy updates supposed to take in effect? Hope that's included

I like the pick system pretty good myself...a lot of people don't like the controls it seems but it works for me...

Only issues are:

Not being able to pick who's going to set the pick on command, the delay when pressing the pick button, and like 32 said, the pop....the CPU could defend it a little better too, if they aren't icing, a lot of times you have a wide open lane with a semi fast to fast PG holding turbo.

The passing and catch improvements should make the P & R even better though..
