Well i think Marcus stated several time that they were in the game.

Well if it's in, it didn't live up to the tech demo. Offensive players going up for dunks while the defender sits squared up in a defensive stance.

Even if their reactions are because of a lower difficulty, the whole point of the tech was to have players LOOKING at the ball and aware of it. They don't do that anywhere close as well as the tech demo.

maybe its better in live 10 but i couldnt even tell it was in live 07 - 09

[Rocboyz101]

Yeah I heard its in too..

[tanner99]

they should reintroduce it with a 30 second video showing the players watching the ball as it goes up for a shot and for the rebound in a game.

Will procedural awareness affect the crowds reactions as well? It would add an extra layer of realism to see fans looking at the ball ( a.k.a. where the action's happenin').

Not in this generation. Would take way too many resources to give the crowd awareness like that.

I wonder if tennis games have it (I can't remember and i've owned a few of them over the years)? It would be pretty obvious if the crowd wasn't following the ball in tennis but they can kind of get away with for hoops games because of the size of the stadiums etc.
