If the CPU is open I just quietly say dammit and get ready to inbound it. You know the result as you see the pass heading towards the open cpu player.

When I am open and have a great release I say dammit when it hits the rim and bounces right to a CPU rebounder. Or worse, the dreaded hit the rim and go over the top of the backboard.

Again, never seen the CPU have that happen to their shot.

The more I play the more I see the CPU do things (acrobatic) I am not sure I can do or I do things (mistakes) the CPU will never do.

Not called......Which is unfortunate because in the other game you see moving screens called often. Only fouls I seen called in Live 15 is blocking, shooting, reaching and charging. Too bad there is no foul slider for it.

Double teaming down low really isn't an option because chances are they will hit the 3 at a crazy clip. I cheat down a little and I still get burned. It has to be toned way down imo.

I'm not big on moving/changing a lot of sliders but in this game they have to included. We literally have no control over how we want the game to be. This Synergy better be good and real good at that.

Yeah, it's frustrating. And not only do the 3's go in at way too high of a rate, but when you double team like that, even if you recover enough to get a hand up, the CPU will shoot it every time. Every single time. It's almost like the game is coded to where the CPU automatically shoots if they have a couple feet of space in between them and the defender.

This, combined with the fact that the CPU won't sub this players in Dynasty mode if the user has subs on manual has really soured me on Live tonight. I hope some of these things can be patched.

Nope, still not in the game.

Updated Data.

Doesn't get more vague than that.

And this after the very detailed info of what was in the Day 1 patch.

# 408 WTF @ 10/31/14 10:05 PM

I just held the Bulls to 38% FG in the first half, 2-4 from 3, 12 pts in the paint.

Before or after the Nov 1st update?

Any info WTF on when the rosters are gonna be updated?

# 410 WTF @ 10/31/14 10:11 PM

I'm holding them right now.

Idk about the rosters. No clue why they aren't updated yet.

Woah, what???? Man, I'm really trying to overlook a lot of this game's shortcomings - I'm already so disappointed that there are no gameplay sliders and player/roster editing for the second straight year - and now this?

So if I have my subs set to manual, the CPU will never sub in/out their players? Their starting 5 will play the entire 48 mins?? If so, I would think they that they can patch it in. They have to patch it in. I mean, it's working correctly in other game modes outside of Dynasty, right?

Unless I'm missing something, yes. It happened in Dynasty mode...the quick games are fine. But in my first Dynasty game, the CPU didn't make a single sub and I play 12 minute quarters.

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know!

The "right way" to fix the double team issue is to have the adjacent defender cheat over towards the offensive player left alone. A related issue though is that open 3's are made 95% of the time. That's much too high.

The game has a lot of that fifa defensive feel which I dislike. Which is if you want something done you better do it yourself.

Leaving you with 9 idiots and you shuffle from your 1 player through the rest, herding them towards whatever you want done.

NBA live plays smarter D than fifa but not by a whole lot.

There seems to be zero defensive swap logic after you take a half court initial D form.

If you control the sg and pick up the PG before half court your d will swap.

But if you swap on the fly out of a double team the other player has no clue and just comes over where you are which is 90% of the reason why the CPU gets open looks on me. Swapping on cpu screens is a killer too. It's not even bad logic, it's absent logic, on the other end, the CPU D swaps pretty competently. So it can be coded.

I'm banking that you are doing something wrong. No way this is the case I'm hoping.

I'm going to check again after this Bulls/Cavs game. Hopefully you're right.

# 418 Gotmadskillzson @ 10/31/14 11:25 PM

They definitely tweaked game play with this update. This what I am noticing now:

1. More turn overs by the CPU. Bad passes, easier to steal from ball handlers.

2. Fast breaks has opened up a bit. Before I felt as though the CPU defenders caught up to you way too fast too often.

3. CPU misses more 3s. At halftime the Lakers are 2 for 7 from 3pt line.

4. CPU calls more time outs.

5. CPU runs have been severely toned down.

6. Tad bit more misses for lay ups and dunks in traffic. Before I rarely missed a dunk or lay up in traffic.

7. CPU does the spin move to the lane cheese quite a bit now. They really need to call charging on it because they literally run defenders over with their spin.

8. Bit more off ball movement. Still needs to be more though, but it is better then it was before.

9. Haven't seen a CPU big man attempt a hook shot in the post in the 1st half. They now do the spin move or pump fakes.

# 419 bigeastbumrush @ 10/31/14 11:42 PM

I haven't seen all that.

I did see:
-More misses by the CPU in the paint (not including layups)
-More wide open 3s for the human due to less quick CPU rotations
-8 minutes quarters on Superstar, CPU Dallas shot 4/10 from 3 for 40%
-I still see big men hook shots. Plenty of them actually.
-Human shot release is the same. This is my biggest pet peeve.

# 420 BL8001 @ 10/31/14 11:50 PM

Gotmadskills,

You think #2 might be because they eliminated the hesitation hitch when you start the fast break?

I haven't played yet, just hoping that got cleaned up.

I like a lot of the possible changes you posted. Can't wait to try it out in a few.
