I feel like I have to worry too much about releases instead of focusing on my opponent.

Shooting online just doesn't work for me!!!!! Shots I make offline are misses for me online smh

Just finished an online game where my opponent went 10-10 from the 3pt line with Bron (with 99% of them being contested), and ended up with almost 70 points.

I'm surprised I even kept that game close. They still need to fix contact and defense in the paint.

# 984 JHedges2 @ 11/17/14 04:38 PM

Just made the purchase. Can't wait to give it a try in about 2 hours. Will input Tomba's settings and post feedback.

I can still remember NBA Live 96 and 97 on SNES. Ha, wow how things have changed...

# 985 The 24th Letter @ 11/17/14 11:50 PM

Just played who I am assuming is the #1 Live player....he was something crazy like 143-2....

His strategy was playing center fielder with LBJ and cherry picking on every long rebound. He had to have scored 30 points alone off of the full court pass and finish by LeBron...not being able to deflect and the lack of contact down low, this was impossible to stop..

Bright side is I only lost by 10, lol

# 986 Mian @ 11/18/14 03:16 AM

After i play some Games in my Dynasty with the Knicks i don�t really see a difference between the setting�s Ratings+ Skill or only Ratings.

For example Melos shot 3 pointer�s like a Boss ( always >70%) . Free Throw�s i can hold down the Button and my player�s are perfect from the Line ( high 90 % shooting from the Line).

my settings like Tomba�s setting but i change the Fouls Settings ( all on) and play 9 min and no accel clock.

plz EA fix this or give us the chance to change the slider�s and this game would be great.

I've played 4 people using that same strategy, with the same team. Freaking sucks.

# 988 Moses Shuttlesworth @ 11/18/14 03:53 AM

You can't play 2k before this otherwise every shot will be late

Over the last week, I've seen a resurgence of people picking the Cavs online.

Played about 5 guys over the last few days who do the exact same thing.

# 990 The 24th Letter @ 11/18/14 04:13 PM

Yeah, I've played 20 total Head 2 Head matches, 18 have been the Cav's, the other two chose the Kings, Blazers.

Nothing you can do about it though, so whatever....just wish they gave you the tools to stop the cherry picking.

The guy I played last night got 15 point lead on me twice, which I withered down to 2 both times when LBJ was out of the game. Then he'd bring him back in and start all over, lol

# 991 nick_sr @ 11/18/14 11:58 PM

Haven't played since Saturday because I've been obsessed withn upgrading my secondary in mut. Played for 5 mins today and turned the game off because I simply can't play a game that'sthis easy. You guys will never understand how much i love and care for nba live but i dont thinl i can continue to play this game until something is done about difficulty and shooting percentages.

# 992 Gotmadskillzson @ 11/19/14 04:09 AM

Just had Kyle Korver block Kobe Bryant's dunk from behind on a fast break. I SMH at that. Next possession Korver went up for a dunk and I blocked his with Kobe. I must say Korver attempted a lot of dunks this game.

Not only is Kobe a 3pt god in this game, he is also a shooting foul drawing god as well. I was amazed by how many shooting fouls I drew with Kobe without even pump faking. I swear Kobe hit the deck on half of the shots I took with him. I was laughing so hard and saying is Kobe flopping because he is hitting the deck a hell of a lot after ever jump shot LOL.

# 993 Whaaaazuuuuup @ 11/19/14 10:40 AM

The flow and lack of animations are killin this game me. As well as the 3s. Good game but the "other" has it this yr

Too bad you can't lower Korver's jump rating or Dunk Frequency that would totally fix that issue even without sliders.

In fact they should go back and lower several players verticals in this game because I've already seen way too many guys leaping out the gym as if they are Gerald Green in some of the videos.

Vertical effects their ability to take off and also triggers that "Rocket Dunk" animation....

I would love to see EA include a Vertical jump rating tied into a true value system like 40 inch vertical should equal just that 40 vertical rating because right now they seem to tie into a scale that range 40-99 for Vertical/Jump and that scale still renders guys doing things over the top in the actual gameplay area.

Minimum ratings set at 40 don't really fix some issues because you can still get easy steals and block shots for example even with a guy rated in the 40's......

I would also like to see them add a Standing jump rating which would stop someone like Dirk for example from just rising up on a offensive rebound and throwing it down in traffic.

If Korver is going for dunks, then that makes not having sliders even worse, as it's clear synergy isn't working.

Yeah I bet next year they going to bring back roster edits or sliders, maybe both. But for sure one of them need to be back in this game. If people blocking and doing dunks they shouldn't be doing wasn't bad enough, you still have centers and power forwards pulling off reverse lay ups circus shots way too much in every game.

That type of stuff just kills the realism.

Ha-Ha bingo I was right and I didn't even need the game to determine that Korver probably had a 40 rating for dunking...

In the spread sheet they posted it has ratings listed for players....

I think EA needs to spread out the ratings 0-99...at 40 it doesn't mean a player a player can't do something it just reduces his effectiveness to do it but you'll still see Korver dunking because that rating isn't low enough despite being at 40.

EA's ratings work on a scale and 40 is no different from being 60 in Live.

They need to go lower or even set certain attributes to 0 meaning the player won't do it regardless of what the engine dictates ie blocking shots, dunking or stealing.

Dirk has a 60 dunk rating just as I suspected....maybe 5 years ago that would have been appropriate but now it has to be reduced down even further.

Also, Kobe has 96 rating for Draw shooting foul which is why you experience what you did in your post.

That damn near means if you breath on him it's a foul.....but I don't have a problem with that they are giving Kobe the Star treatment so I can live with that rating.

Also, I think that floaty passing has a lot to do with Pass Accuarcy ratings...the lower the rating the less zip on the ball.

This has been consistent throughout every version of Live since it arrived on the XBOX 360.

You should really study that ratings spread sheet it's very helpful in determining why certain things are happening in the game.....

Too bad no editing is allowed....otherwise we could really alter some of the gameplay and even trigger some more of the animations locked into the rating.

I'm not to sure the majority will agree with your statement but to each his own.

All games have some type of issue that will be found and Live 15 is no different. Both games have great things going for them as well as bad but it can't be denied that the other game is way more polished and offers way more than this title. If this game is more polished please help me find it??
