See, this is exactly why we need patch notes. I do not mean to embarrass you man, but Andrew over at NLSC has spoken to EA and there are no gameplay fixes in this patch.


It was just for some crashes and the summer circuit.


By having no notes, we end up with placebo posts like yours...and then a dozen more guys will say "hey, they fixed rebounding because I just got 20 boards with DeAndre Jordan".............when, actually, nothing was touched.


Again, I do not mean to embarrass you...but this is why we need notes.

I played a good game and noticed various things, however, I will no longer speculate when there is no information for us to reference after patches are released period!

I said this a million times last year. Some more respected posters here were and still are among the group of 'I experienced this, it must be the patch' group. And when it's a positive, EA are happy to laugh and nod their head.

It's a joke.

And sorry, but I don't understand how a 1.2gb patch can just be for bug fixes.

This was recorded from Live '14..

Only reason I am bringing it up again is because I am watching someone stream\ making a YouTube video where on Superstar....they are doing this exclusively with Greg Monroe...they are currently up 43-34 with all points scored by Monroe going coast to coast like this..

They are experiencing a bit more resistance than in the '14 video...but once Monroe gets relatively close to the paint he can launch into a lay up from far out and either score and get fouled.

I get that you can abuse the game, yield unrealistic results from playing unrealistically....but I think this is an inherent issue with 1) the way interior D is handled 2) the speed\ skill\ animations between players....and it still seems to be an issue to this day.

I think it's because Live at default is designed to be a free flowing, offensive game. Driving to the hoop is too easy.

For me on All-Star (and I've been messing around with Superstar the last couple games) I put both jostle sliders down to 0. Put block shots at 100 and it's MUCH harder to do that kind of crap. You have to work to get into the lane and those layup animations and even if you do you will face some rejections as well. Doesn't help online but offline it helps reduce the points in the paint. I still see too much from the cpu but we do have some tools to help. I'd like to see more mid range pullups and quick shots off screens.

Maybe that's how I have to start looking at it man....

I've tried a few games on Superstar and I think the cpu plays smart. I don't see the big negative in their style other than me getting my butt kicked. The cpu seems to be able to throw the ball in the bucket like throwing it into the ocean. My guys, not so much. But I certainly have to pick my game up. Feels as though I have to be on my game 100% of the time to compete which in some ways is good and others ways a bit frustrating. On All-Star I feel I have an advantage in even matchups. On Superstar the cpu is clearly better than me. May just stick with All-Star and boost the cpu a little bit.

Again, I'm not a hardcore basketball guy like some of you guys. I'm just not as good.

Just barely missed the playoffs at #9 spot in a short season. Will start a new season at 82 games this time. This is the only hoop game I can play over and over in franchise mode. FUN.
