Do you guys feel you have to get too deep in the paint to trigger a layup animation?
Yep. There have been too many times where my guy just completely stops when I'm trying to drive. It throws off everything

As far as shooting, I use the wrist flick as the release point on jump shots and free-throws. When the shooter's forearm comes up and stops you'll notice the wrist rocks back. I've found the proper release point is at the end of that backwards motion of the wrist. It happens at different speeds with different players but using that as the indicator has worked for every player
I've tried.

Create one fluid motion when shooting...if you still see that little hitch before you release you are releasing too late...

It does seem at times the settings revert to not match what you have going.

I have free throws and shooting set to ratings. Also have play design art turned on.

There have been times as we all know that play art will disappear.


Well there definitely was a time shooting defaulted bc all of my guys were missing free throws until I started shooting them as if they were set to skill.

Probably a bug?

Yes and no. I've triggered layups from outside the paint at the elbow (was hoping for a floater) but have also had times on the break where my player did a PUJIT instead of the desired layup.

I watch the feet. Time the release as the player starts to lift his heels onto his tiptoes.

i think the thing is, the release point in the jumpers in Live is way sooner than in 2k. That's why a lot of people are struggling. release the button sooner than later. Obviously some guys have a relase point later, but that's the exception IMO.

Needs an optional release meter

How is the game since the first patch arrived? I'm thinking of buying the game but not sure if I want to wait until every patch is in the game.
 
# 849 CMH @ 12/29/13 07:17 AM
Read the impressions, guys.

It's an impressions thread, not a "should I buy this game so please rehash everything you've already said for me" thread.

Just played the "Flash Back" Live Season game a couple of times...

on two separate occasions I had David West and George Hill (down 1 and down 3 respectively) dribble the clock out essentially handing me the game and killing the experience of what was previously a good game...
 
# 851 WTF @ 12/29/13 10:05 AM
That sucks. Are you seeing the lack of end game AI in just the flash back games or regular nba today games too?

Fortunately I still haven't seen this rear its ugly head.
 
# 852 CMH @ 12/29/13 10:19 AM
I saw it happen once in a game.

Shot clock winding down and I played tight d on the ball handler behind the three point line.

He attempted to make a move but once he realized his shot was gonna be contested and he could not get by me, he simply gave up.

Only time I've seen it.

Most of the time when I see a pass out of bounds, I let it go because things happen and it bumps up turnovers on both ends.

It's an excuse, I know. Shouldn't happen. But so far none of this happens enough times to bother me.

I've had games with great late game Ai and some with brain farts. Waiting for this game to get to the point where updates are happening same day.

Anyone else notice another update this morning? Wonder what has changed.

I am going to fire it up to see if I can notice anything.
 
# 855 WTF @ 12/29/13 10:44 AM

That "dribble loop" AI bug happens to me at least 2 times per game.

The AI tends to turn the ball over around 5 to 10 times a game doing stupid stuff like that.

I got a update on XB1 as well.,.

Happened again by the way...really an experience killer..

Funny, I never felt the need to bring up "the other game" in my impressions of this game, due to the fact my impressions of this game, are my impressions of this game.

Someone, I think 24th Letter pointed out that it's in our interest to see Live 15 come out, and comments like "well I can live with it, it's an issue in *other* basketball games as well" or "no bball title has perfected this so it's forgivable" are just unproductive. Outside of this thread, and I mean everywhere else outside of this thread, this game is a punchline, I've seen it on every single "Worst Games" list, they hid it from us until release after hyping us with that amazing Kyrie-over-DeAndre clip (had chills when I saw it), and sales are abysmal.

I get folks are enjoying it and I agree some of the backlash has been overdone especially in media, the game has some strengths and has improved since release.

But personally I just feel we have to keep their feet to the fire, harp on what we demand in a game released in 2013, 2014 etc. Harp on what's missing.

Because "the other game" is coming out next year period. So unless Live 14 is good enough to hold you over for the next 4-year hiatus, it has to be less "well I can live without sliders/edit player/adequate commentary/animations/body types because no other game is perfect out there" and more "I'm enjoying it for what it is right now but this is nowhere near enough."

There's not been any talks that this game isn't coming out next year. Live 15 will be out next year. You guys can quote that all you want. Make it a signature, etc.

It's not a good game"for what it is", its a good game period in my eyes.

I don't know why I'm not having the issues that others are, but I am glad. I feel an absolute sense of accomplishment when I get the stop for a shot clock violation. I've seen the backdown glitch maybe 5 times total since release. The end of game AI has been really good 99% of the time.

The game will come out next year.
