NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360, PS3)

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)

I call so many different plays it hurts, but my go-to guys are still supposed to be my go-to guys.

Yeah, but sometimes they can't carry the team.

For instance:

Last night, Heat/Blazers. There was one point where I went down by 13. This was after the game was close.

I didn't lose my cool. Called a timeout, buckled down defensively (like you understand what I mean by that ) and just started running plays for different guys. I would call a play for Haslem, but that play ended up giving me an open look for Wade from 3. Splash.

Just because you call the play for them doesn't mean you have to end with them. Vary it up. Sometimes I don't even call plays and just pass the ball around until I can get a one on one in the post or the perimeter.

If you beat your man, freestyle pass to the soon to be open teammate thanks to the help coming over. You can also pass out and reset, don't force up a shot just because you beat your man.

Don't be afraid to shoot a jumper early as well. Check this out, before the defense even gets set:

There's a lot of "basketball IQ" in there. I think it's just a matter of getting over that hump and having everything "click."

Can anyone confirm if player lock works like it should now? I'd really appreciate it thanks. What I mean is that if say I control the Center I would not have to press the pass button to imbound the ball, and press the x button to make players shoot ect....

Basically everything should be moving and working by itself with me just being in control of the Ceneter.

We really need an OFFICIAL strategy thread, where it's strictly strategy discussed and nothing else.

After playing 6 games with the patch (12 min. Qs, Superstar), I feel very comfortable summing it up like this:

- Individual parts of the game improved. Player speed, how they feel when you move them, dunk & lay-up percentage, turnovers, foul percentage, baskets made with contact. With that said, overall, the game plays worse. The decisions the CPU makes, namely it's shot selection, is questionable at best... but for whatever reason they tend to go in. Pair the CPU hitting questionable shots on the regular with the many bugs the patch has come with (No points awarded after goaltending, CPU fouling when ahead in the final moments of the close game/CPU dribbling out the clock when losing, some people experiencing no overtime), and I'd say the negatives outweigh the positives. The bugs basically ruin the gaming experience if it comes down to a close game.

^ That's with the patch plus the DNA update that came out today?

Yeah, didn't really notice anything different after playing with the new DNA update today.

I didn't go through all the rosters in the league to see if the fixed all the free agent mistakes (Devin Harris, Mike Miller, Flip Murray, etc.), I just looked over the Nuggets... and Kurt Looby & James White (who were both waived last Wednesday) are still on the Nuggets roster.

Not a bad idea at all.

Thing is, whats to account for with DNA when the season hasnt started. This is my problem with touting it before real data can be used

[OptimusP76]

man yall all are stupid the patch is in affect i can tell a great deal but there are to problems one to many miss lay ups and miss dunks now and they need to decrease blocks but the defense is well good and the shoting is better why better and the boxing out is very good and rebounding as well so people play online first to tell the difference and the back down is in effect thats good 2 click in the right thumb stick but the patch is col they just need to add fatigue and tone down the blocks and up the lay ups and dunks thats all

Leon Powe is still a FA when he should be on the Cavs. Also I hope rookie appearances will be updated, it'll be annoying if they have to play in real life before that happens.

Post patch i've seen much of a change in the fouls, and they're almost all contact shot animations, some from situations where the resulting animation was impossible.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)

is it possible to play the game without downloading the patch?

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)

Yes but I don't think you will be able to play online or download the new DNA updates.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 Patch Only, PS3 to Follow)

You could download the patch and the latest roster then clear your cache to remove the patch. Guess that would be quite a hassle though.
