Unless some of these devs want to go the Carlisemo/Sprewell route and tell these mo-capping NBA players in their studio that they're not giving full effort, this is what you're going to be "stuck" with.

LOL

Well guys, Beluba told me to start the sig shot thread a week after release to see if they could patch in more sig shots and stuff. Maybe they can tweak PP's. Who knows, maybe, maybe not but it wont kill the game.

This is a MUST KDre!

We want your feedback early to see what we CAN and cannot do.

There are some players that just dont shoot balanced every time....they can take 4-5 different looking shots a game....PP is on of them...

I guess thats why its so hard to get it down...I for one think it looks good on Live...hard to argue w\ a shot thats been mo capped

Im sure the guys will be happy to chime in on the shots. I'll throw in a couple of suggestions... do you guys need pic or video examples though stephenson?

24th I think its just harder to get a guage on a guy like PP's shot when he's not in his hot spot section, just like when he's at the top left corner.

Detailed text, pics or videos.

Any will do my man.

As for the different leans, if you aren't holding the left analog stick and just pull up for a shot, he's going straight up. Experiment using the left analog stick when shooting and you'll get different leans.

Will do. Im so curious to see the other guys and how they play in the game. So far no player plays exactly the same which I love.

Definitely. The DNA thing seems to be working well. Playing numerous times against the Celtics - KG takes his shots in the post with his turnaround fadeaways and at the top of the key with his face-up jumpers. Allen usually just spots up while Pierce does a little bit of everything, taking 3s in my face and driving to the basket.

Sometimes, I player lock on Kobe and notice the differences in my teammates as well. When I pass the ball to Gasol at the top of key, if he has space he shoots it which is something he does in real life (plus I checked his DNA in that spot, and indeed shooting it instead of driving is his tendency). That is something Bynum never does when I pass him the ball in the same spot.

I had a great play where I passed the ball to Gasol at the top of the key, and Ariza quickly cut to the basket and instantly Gasol passed him the ball and Ariza had a nice wide-open dunk. It was great to see the cpu play with intelligence. Funny thing was, I noticed that whenever I put Ariza in plays like this open up. So I checked out his DNA and whattya know, a 30+% in cuts.

Can't wait to see how other teams and players play.
