I remember reading pre-release that if a player had a big game he'd get a standing ovation from the crowd on his way to the bench. Is this actually in the game? Anybody seen it?

I've not paid attention, hopefully I won't have it happen again.

Forgot to mention, the crowd was HYPED late in the 4th. Had I not have hit a B Jennings stepback at the right time, I'm pretty sure that the roof was about to blow off of the Barclays Center.

Got two games going on my NBA league pass (sac v orlando + SA v OKC)
and these players absolutely sprint aggressively when in the open court. They are aggressive, physical and fast. That's why they are the best athletes in the world. Half openings and guys sprint and attack. Defensive rebounds and they are off and running down court. 3 on 1s and any half chances and they attack the hoop. NBA live just doesn't have this speed or athleticism. It just seems too passive / wait for a half court play to be run regardless.

The main issue seems to be that the game is "programmed" to run a set play to a specific player. I can get plenty of speed going myself so if EA can "reprogram" things to have the CPU improvise more I think it can get pretty close to the real thing...

CPU late game AI is non existent. I don't know how Nick and WTF aren't seeing this as I get stuff like this every time the CPU is down at the end of a game. Also, there's no CPU time outs. Are you guys just never seeing this stuff? I feel like you two have a different game to the rest of the world sometimes. Are you only playing 5 min games or something and this only happens in longer games? Everyone else is seeing this.

I have never experienced that.. I've had a couple of time where the CPU just don't wanna move the ball up the court so they get called for a 8 second or sometimes they just run the clock out. But never later game. And those examples where before the patch. Not had it happening after.

It happens pre and post patch IF you closely guard the CPU ball handler. That video is exactly what happens. If you stand back and let them run a play etc,they will. But if the cpu main guy like Curry or Kyrie etc is the ball handler, you sort of have to guard them, right? And if you do, that's what happens.

Spacing in this game is immensely good. 2k's spacing is terrible by comparison. The basis is here for a great game at they've got spacing and half court pace perfect.

Thats weird, not happened to me. I'll def write in this thread if it dose.

Can ya'll still not take charges? I've got called for 2 out of hundreds man. I hope they fix that soon!
 
# 611 WTF @ 12/22/13 08:32 AM
Never once saw that. If I had, I'd be frustrated for sure. I play 12 minute quarters.

Also, thats the only time the cpu calls a timeout, is when they're down by less than 10 with 2:30 to play. After each basket I score, immediate TO. They run a quick hitting play every time. The next close game I have, I'll see if I can get a decent length upload.

I closely guard the ball handler in most cases, and I've still never seen this. I don't know how you're seeing this and I'm not. Granted, I'm glad I'm not, but still peculiar.

It seems more and more folks are seeing the game, and the Live teams updates as a better game,and a more appealing game, so I'm not totally off of my rocker, like others led me to believe earlier.

Regardless, hopefully the game continues to improve, and those types of things will be fixed for those having the issue.

Timber, are you one of them who are having the CE errors? I'm wondering if there's "something" that's not installing right, or downloading right, etc causing errors. I've gotten a couple of those blue screen errors, but mine are after leaving a game paused for 5-6 hours, and then coming back home and it's blue screened.
 
# 613 WTF @ 12/22/13 11:13 AM
I'm trying to upload a clip to facebook, final 6 minutes of the Bobcats (me) vs Hawks. I took the lead into the last 5 minutes of the game, and although it played a little more dumb than I'm used to on their final play trying to cut into the lead, it's still a lot better than the clip above. I attribute it to being the Hawks

They called a timeout on the ensuing possession. Looked for a quick basket on the final possession. Nothing like the above. I don't get it really, why some guys have those issues, and others don't, myself included. I'll try another later with a little more offensive aware team as well.

This is my first time playing against the Hawks, and first time playing as the Bobcats too. Man, what an ugly game it was, haha. Keep your fingers crossed that it uploads and no errors this time.

I downloaded the demo and I like that it plays a little slower than NBA 2K. I did not see any fouls called during the game though but I am assuming this would be fixed with sliders?

I truly wish they would offer the digital games for a little cheaper than retail price because if they did I would be purchasing right now.

Time to go look for some online deals.

Definitely agree here...it wasn't as bad last gen but it seems to be something that has plagued the most recent iterations of the series...the high pace action/athleticism of the game isn't really reflected well...which is just as much "real basketball" as a slow pace with half court sets...I can probably count on my hands how many times i've seen a properly executed fast break...

I also agree with the spacing...I was skeptical at first that it was because there was no movement but it's legit....I wish defenders sold out a little more to help...then the drive and kick game would look a lot better...

exactly! yet to see this happen in any game i've played and i'm at level 33. I remember never getting some of the glitches in mlb the show that other guys have complained about.

Like I said, not the best representation that I've seen, this is probably the "worst" that I've seen it yet. The possession with :42 left to play is tough with Millsap taking the 3, but they were shooting and not dribbling the clock out. Like I said, I'll chalk this up to them being the Hawks

Don't judge my game either, I've got two youngins under two to contend with right now while mom's at the hair stylist,
 
# 619 WTF @ 12/22/13 12:53 PM
I'm gonna post this video here too, hilarious Bosh Flop after trolling Hibbert with a smile. Right afterwards, Haslem just bends over in disbelief at the terrible flop

I know its probably not designed like that, but it was hilarious to go into replay, and see Bosh cheese prior to flopping, and then Haslems' reaction

I can't recall any game in recent memory that was SO BAD at release to have this much change within a month of release to play this well.

Got 3 qtrs in this morning Lakers (me) vs Nets and damn if D. Will and Johnson weren't wreaking havoc. At the end of 3 they had 27 & 22 pts respectively

Stats were in the money and I mean every stat. Back and forth the whole way. Just when either team was starting to make some headway the comeback was always there.

The EA team must be sneaking in tweaks with these roster/synergy/updates because I'm seeing more and more realistic animations. It's getting to the point where I'm only seeing 1/2 and sometimes nothing wonky per qtr.

This is my ball game this year. No need for 2 in my home this year but I am grateful that I have the option for 2

The amount of Coaching options/gameplay options are just amazing. This game is the better of the 2 IMO. Not looking for a challenge from anyone just my opinion.

Next 3 days off and I'm hoping to get about 10-15 games into my Laker season I'm playing 12 min qtrs
