stepsix, I'm not sure if you're the guy to ask but there are a few minute details that I hope will get fixed. Firstly, will out-of-bounds be called when the ball-handler's foot steps out and when the ball bounces out on the first bounce? In past years it wasn't whistled out-of-bounds until it bounced the second time.


Secondly, will solid ball-handlers like Nash lose the ball so easily when dribbling into the paint? I know this was implemented last year to discourage users from abusing the paint but it's not the most realistic solution.

Very simple Pared.... and it's only because I enjoy it and what have been doing for the past few years with it.

Are there sliders this year like in previous years?

Call me crazy but i think it's the funnest part of the NBA Live series now called NBA Elite
 
# 63 HoosierDaddy @ 06/24/10 09:18 AM
LOL, I made sure to ask about this and actually put numbers on the sliders instead of the clicks.
 
# 64 HoosierDaddy @ 06/24/10 11:41 AM
definite improvement, IMHO.

Ok....

Just to get some clarification on some things.

- Tip Dunks are in ??
- Clear path fouls are in ??
- Just to clarify, when you guys were at EA testing the game, this new shooting mechanic has gotten rid of the crazy 3pt %'s that we were seeing (ie, eventhough a defender was in your face & the player was fading away, 3's would still drop as if you were wide open)


What about stuff from Live 10 like.......

- Downloaded jerseys (or unlocked jersey) not usable for online play ?
- Fatigue switched was reversed for online play....then corrected twice ?
- Does fatigue/auto subs apply more to online play (you could basically play a player the enitre game if you wanted to & and auto sub didn't follow a real NBA game substitution pattern)
- Is the goaltending bug still corrected ?? Dont want this coming back for Elite 11
- Is the hangar still in Live 11 ??
- Are freethrows still automatically shot for online play if you dont select the player who is shooting ?? (I hated that)
- What about the "slow motion" alley oops ?? (People that played Live 10 will know what I'm talking about)

My answers are in bold.

Thanks HD

Also.....to kinda give a suggestion.

In regards to my "hangar" question. What I think would be nice is if you were to boot up Elite 11 & instead of the "hangar" from last season, it's just your player in the empty stadium (like those gamespot pics that show LBJ, Melo, Nash etc and how to do certain moves) I think that would be sweet.

To do a pump fake you quickly tap up on the right stick. It feels really natural given that shot is up/hold/release on the right stick.
At the community event we could jab step left and right. I believe it was with the right stick and the player wouldn't start his dribble until you moved the left stick. You could also drive out of those animations. We talked about adding a swing through move and an animation where the player protects the ball behind him, maybe they are implementing one of them.

That was the plan. The control schemes took all that into account.

I'm guessing we will see blogs and the such spread out. We still have over 3 months until release.

i know using the stick for everything is the wave of the future but did anyone ask if there were alt schemes for controll


yes.... i know i am a caveman but i like button shooting, passing etc..

Pretty sure button controls were confirmed to be in the game.

How is the rim-ball dynamics this year?
Does the offensive player easily slip away defensive player this year?

Out of bounds is perfectly accurate right now. I can't guarantee that it might not be pushed out by a foot or something in the end product tho. Strange as that may sound,it was actually done intentionally in the past to provide some leniency when you had no control over what hand the ball was in. This year you control that, so hopefully we can continue with no buffer.

I can happily say no to your second point. Steals strips and blocks are amazing this year and rendered that anti-cheese soution unnecessary.

Good questions!

there's just one thing I want to touch on...is there gonna be still be signature shots and signature moves and passing and will everyone still have the shot forms...because I noticed that both lebron and kevin had the same arsonal of moves....I didn't see where the players where different from eachother other than the way they looked....I know you guys are adding a bunch of physics and mechanics...are the sig moves and shots gonna take a hit ????

I've answered this in a few other places but it seems to be a concern many people have so I'll answer it again.

Yes, we will have sig shots this year. They are being added to the game this week which explains why all the videos you've seen so far don't have them.

I doubt it would be this week since they are just going in and need to be tuned before they are shown off.

I'm sure you'll see them eventually, I just don't know when

The game will default to N/S because we feel that's the best way to play the game with the new controls, but the broadcast camera will still be available and the game plays just fine in that camera.

So yes, you will have the option.
