Anyone try playing from one of the baseline angles? Im playing on baseline low and am kinda digging it.

# 882 BL8001 @ 11/09/14 04:20 PM

Ok so wait...

Holding up on R stick will raise your arms to contest, but you won't jump. So if they jump you just accept what happens. Ok. I will try this.

But...

How about in the lane? Now this has me thinking in order to body up an attacker and deny the lane to the front of the rim, I need to R stick shuffle instead of L stick move...maybe, just maybe, the lane contact animations are dependent on the R stick and not the L stick? Off to test this.

I don't know why you'd turn off reach in fouls. I have them near max. Those who mention steal in bring too easy aren't playing with the reach slider maxed on superstar. I'd you keep reaching, you'll be in foul trouble in no time.

# 884 sportyguyfl31 @ 11/09/14 06:00 PM

Ive settled on usering just one player and using coach settings for everything else. No more bailing out my foul prone teammates. Played vs Dirk and he gave me a workin' and the CPU beat me by 3. No late 4th qtr brain cramps for them. That was good to see

Been having GREAT games as of late, and actually feeling that if I lose, it's because of poor choices, not because I'm getting cheated out of it. I'm not going to lie, I was frustrated when I first started playing, but with the updates (and Tomba's fantastic settings), I just can't stop playing it. Now of course I want them to fix the Halftime show and it would be nice to see them put a ton of new jerseys into the next major update. But the amount of improvement from day one to now has been nothing short of astounding.

Hope the patch comes thru!

The update box is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in a soprts game.

Just played a game and had 2 3 attempts bang around the rim and in and 3 3 attempts bang around and fall out.

Also my D played much better over all. My cpu controlled D players. Now maube its because I played philly in LUT but who knows?

I also got more reach in fouls called on me than ever before. I got 5 steals total but it was a bit of a risk/reward scenario each time.

Question, wasnt there play art displayed on the floor for the quick action button?

If there wasnt, there should be.

Quick action is something that just sets the players in motion to mix up the court. It's not necessarily calling a play.

Just saw my AI teammate Rudy Gay do a tip in dunk on the offensive glass, and Dirk doing one legged fades..this game is just fun

Best camera!! Tried other's and they don't compare.

# 890 nick_sr @ 11/09/14 11:29 PM

Did some testing between the warriors and blazers signed in and signed out from the was servers. Saw shooting percentages in the low 40's signed out and above 50 signed in.

Found it interesting so ill do more cpu vs cou signed out so see if theres anytging there pr it was just a onevtime thing.

# 891 Pappy Knuckles @ 11/10/14 12:19 AM

I notice that most games I'm holding the computer to 47%-50% shooting. I do have quarters where they'll shoot horribly in like the 30% range, though. I've been running on Superstar.

# 892 Gotmadskillzson @ 11/10/14 03:08 AM

Just had a pretty damn good game. End up losing though because the freaking Suns shot 58% from 3pt line and I had no answer for their bigs grabbing rebounds over the Warriors. I would also say the game AI plays better on 12 minutes too. I wish the halftime show was fixed though.

Seems like the more games teams play in real life, the better the CPU AI gets.

# 893 buckeyezombie @ 11/10/14 10:22 AM

This game kinda reminds me of College Hoops2K8. It's got some warts, but I'm having more fun with this then 2K15.

Me and my buddy feel the same way.

The CPU always knocks down the threes, it's rare that they miss. Nobody is that money all the time. Even if they're wide open. I also think synergy is broken, cause no team other than Rockets, Houston, would launch so many threes. There has to be a conflict with the synergy and the AI

The other day I was playing the hard gold challenge in ultimate team and lost because the CPU didn't miss one single 3. I could live with curry and Durant making 3's but cp3 pulling up from near half court and making 3's really iirritated me smh

# 896 ifitbeginsitends @ 11/10/14 12:48 PM

the more I play, the more I like!

this is a FUN game!

that challenge that ends today with the spurs and the cavs called king something, well whatever it is called, the spurs wore me out! it took me 4 tries to beat them. Tony parker was wearing me out. I put a stop to that though when i bought lance Stephenson from the auction house and put the clamps on him!

after that I ran through the caves, even though kyrie is a certified beast. maybe too good.

after playing, I don't mind all the animations I just wish they were all interruptible. if you could interrupt every animation then the game would play even better.

I'm having alot of fun with LUT.

# 897 BL8001 @ 11/10/14 05:32 PM

I wish there was a way to fake dish and drive.

I see it at least once or twice every NBA game but there is no way to fake pass in Live. Particularly on the move.

# 898 BattleBornLV @ 11/10/14 06:40 PM

I finally caved

# 899 BattleBornLV @ 11/11/14 12:04 AM

This is the basketball game I should've purchased from the get go. I am by no means a sim head so I don't need a game to replicate exactly what I see on my TV. I just want a game that is fun and looks great and for me this is it. Like others have said, I would pop in 2K and it just felt like a chore to play and I just wouldn't have fun but with live I get the enjoyment I'm am looking to get out of a video game. Really looking forward to future updates plus having the highlights fixed and then I'll be set.

# 900 nick_sr @ 11/11/14 12:35 AM

I thought they did a wonderful Job of replicating kd until I played with harden today. Nothing but cheese while using harden lol

Played a few ultimate team games and witnessed the CPU throwing backdoor lobs both games which made me happy!!!!! Was rather happy when I saw the replay and steph curry made eye contact with Lebron before he threw it up to him.

Also noticing that the CPu will punish you for your mistakes on higher difficulty.
