Seems like they just want to make the players happy with their ratings instead of making them more realistic. But if they play like their real-life counterpart, I guess that doesn't really matter so much. If they continue to build from this, then Live has a bright future, but for the love of everything, don't scrap it all and start from scratch AGAIN, whatever you do.

I could see why you would think players are high but, we're only showing the best players.

Looking forward to your feedback when the season starts up.

Thats good to hear, the attribute just being called "Defense" made me wonder

I hope to whatever almighty power that they used this extra time to implement roster editing. Please oh please. The things I could do with this. WEW! lol

So since everything is being handled by Synergy I wonder if EA is taking this kind of data and utilizing it to rank the defenders

This was in reference to Chandler Parsons

"According to Synergy Sports, Parsons ranked 190th as an overall defender last season, allowing 0.88 points per possession. He ranked 219th in isolation (0.93) and 204th in post-up situations (0.94). Parsons was well above average guarding pick-and-roll ballhandlers, ranking 70th and allowing 0.74 points per possession."


This probably won't get a feedback but I'd love to know if Synergy will handle some of the defensive data in Live 15 (like it will for the offense)

Iggy is a better defender than LeBriggy? Na brah.

Glad to see TA as a 95 on defense. I am guessing they screwed up his face pretty bad if they put a back shot up of him.

Hey thanks for the response. But I will say that for next year, from what I've seen so far, the 2 things that need the most work is how the players look from the broadcast camera (they look REALLY good up close, but backed away they look plasticy again) and smoothening out the animations, still tends to look a little jerky. If association and rising star get some upgrades it'll be a huge year for Live 16. But I like the direction that 15 is going in.
