BTW, I'm not trying to beat down the game... I believe there is great hope for it, but I'm gonna call it like I see it. It get's frustrating sometimes, but if it's gonna improve EA has to take the good with the bad and the bitter with the sweet.

Same here man. I am definitely not looking for things to ***** about, lol...just want to make that clear...

Being able to post what you see is one of the best things about these new systems and is so much more help to the devs to get these things fixed...I honestly hate posting "bad" vids more than good ones, but I want to make sure folks get a clear picture of what I am saying...

I seriously believe that the difference between the One version and PS4 is "different" whether it be tendencies not reading correctly, or something. .

Well, he can actually hit those, lol

Meanwhile he's dunking on me...sucks man...

I am really starting I think there is a difference too...above Poop said he rarely sees OR pass outs as well, and he's on XB1...adds up.

I don't keep tabs on Byron, good to know. I just shook my head.

and at "Poop said"

too bad El_Poop doesn't post in the NBA forum...

He'd be my next Pick\Donate contestant...

Gotta get that man a better screen name

Oh, don't recall who mentioned the "saving" animation. I had Lee or Bogut one save one right to me (George Hill) last night I don't see too many actual saves, so I'm thinking they're tweaking it as well. It was a quicker save animation too, versus the moving in mud that I've seen.

Oh, and Steph Curry had a block on Paul George. I was looking through the saves that uploaded to my facebook. I'll have to put them on youtube and post them here. George spun and thought he had an easy layup, but the blocking monster Curry came from behind and swatted it

Sorry loosey101, it was you who mentioned the save animation.

In the process of uploading 5 videos that were saved. Unfortunately the last 15 minutes of gameplay was my being in replay mode, looking around the arena and at the different player faces. Have to say, I left it on Steph for a little while during replay, and he looks pretty accurate. Looks really well done in my opinion. I'll throw up the 5 that I've got uploading. One "save", 2 rebound kickouts, 1 feed from the post, and a monster Steph block
 
# 1528 WTF @ 01/21/14 12:20 PM
I liked the step back on Iggy's jumper even though it didn't go in. I'm seeing more and more faceup moves from the post



Here is Paul Georges slick reverse/wrap around dunk that I was talking about earlier



Here was a pretty slick back and forth, I push the ball up with Granger after a rebound from a Lee miss (2 jabsteps), find PG in the post. PG had 18 pts early in the 2nd quarter (I was cheesing after his hot start last night in the real game), they doubled, I split the double for the 1 handed throwdown. Steph brings the ball up and they end up with the open 3. I loved their offball screen on this one:



Here is Bogut with the kickout. I guess I said I didn't see any more pump faking underneath, but watching this again Bogut does indeed throw 1 small pump in their:



And.... Steph swats PG, then pushes the ball up the floor and fires a 3 on the "break". Misses, but still aggressive.



I played the Raptors yesterday as well with the Bobcats, and was trying to get to the paint with MKG, and Ross and Derozan were constantly blocking me from behind. That was definitely tweaked I know in the last little "patch".

Didn't get a video apparently, but here's an image. They collapsed really well.

 
# 1529 WTF @ 01/21/14 12:22 PM
Guess I didn't upload the "save". I'll get it this evening. Have to grab a bite then back to work.

Nevermind, it was still uploading:

No problem, I hope they tweak it, I see the animation a few times a game and I can think of maybe one time the CPU actually saved it. That's awesome, Curry spotting up and taking the three on the break is the aggressiveness that would make the game even better.

I feel for videogame developers when it comes to basketball games. It's easy and often for us to say "This should NEVER happen" then you see things like this ...

I don't get hung up on stuff like that. Duncan has hit a number of threes in his career.

However, if he is breaking ankles like Dwight was, then I raise the red flag.

I know that I'm nitpicking here, but if you'll notice PG takes 5 steps from the three point line (you can vaguely see it in the video) to the launch for his lay-up. IRL a player his size with his agility takes maybe 2... 3 tops.

This shows part of my frustration with player movement. That was an explosive move, but the animation was slow and jerky. The dunk was awesome the step(s) to gather were not.

I'll go with anything once. We've all seen big men get possessed by the spirit of Isiah Thomas from time to time but I'm with those who don't want to see it every other game.

Notice that Shaq carefully chose to do his dribbling display against Mehmet Okur - Two Wild Hogs

I love it!

What's funny about this speed thing is that they made Paul Pierce a snail
 
# 1538 WTF @ 01/21/14 05:26 PM
I forwarded the videos onward. We'll try to see if we can get some equality between the two versions. Also hoping to get those types of plays to happen more often.

I know there were a few more kickoffs with at least one make but I didn't have it recorded.

On the steps issue, I agree. Shouldn't be 5 small steps from the 3 pt line to the dunk gather.

Just played at Portland in a pretty fun game, beat them 105-95. Went up by 20+ by halftime but I knew the run in the 2nd half was coming. By end of 3rd they had cut it to 7 but they cooled off in the 4th. PIP were actually 60-54 in my favor(for the 1st time). I doubled the post on the catch no matter who it was and forced jumpshots. Think I'm actually ready for Allstar difficulty level.

Thank you for the Bogut kick out video. Yes, I "have" seen guys grab offensive rebounds and pass out, but it's honestly been about three times in over 30 games. I've seen Andy V do it once for Cleveland and I also saw Tyson do it once. But that's been it. 99.9% of the time it's simply go back up even if there's three defenders there.


Re fast breaks, I've yet to see the cpu run a 2 on 1 or a 3 on 2. You asked how I know they can't do it? Well, I've never seen them do it in multiple games and if you don't even defend the fast break at all (i.e. move your defender to the side and take your hand off the controller) they still don't run hard and attack the hoop. They almost always pass to the wing.


I am not sure why you are seeing things that so many people aren't. I can take my hands off the controller and not even defend and the cpu still runs through their play even with no one guarding them. There's no reactive AI at all. I am on PS4, I don't know if the XB1 is different. Everything 24th letter has posted as flaws in videos I see over and over when I play.
