Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 out, PS3 JUST RELEASED)

Man......

I don't know what happened after I downloaded the patch but I CAN NOT play an online game anymore. After we select teams...........it just freezes in the hangar !!!

Pre patch............I had ZERO problems with freezing.

I dont know what to do anymore.....

I really don't want to have to put the game on the shelf until the 2nd patch comes out.

Update: I know can no longer start an offline game either ??? Either the game freezes or just sits in the hangar with the word "loading" flashing ???

Worst.......

I FOUND THE PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!

It was that stupid ESPN radio feed.......I spent all day thinking what I had changed since last week...then it popped into my head. I switched off the espn radio feed last thursday....so I switched it back and on and................working like a charm now. No more freezing, no more getting stuck in the loading screen.

Anyways....not like anyone cares anyways. Just in case if anyone reading did have this problem (i'm guessing it was only me...LOL).....turn on the espn radio feed, if you turned it off.

Firstly I want to say that I love this game, the best game I have ever played. The one thing that would make this great and even more sim, and I hope that this gets addressed, is that the game has trouble recognising what is an open shot and what is not an open shot. Whether its 3 pointer, mid range or short range. This is not DNA or %'s. If a defender is standing right infront of a shooter, this is not a clean look, the shot should miss. In real life you cannot shoot with someone close to you or you risk getting stripped. You have to either turn your back on them and shoot a fadeaway, or force up a bad shot.

I've played a few games post-patch on the PS3 and the game is kinda everywhere. I've had more "WHAT THE ****?!" games than enjoyable ones. There's been a game where I blew out the CPU with the Clippers, then one where I just barely lost with the Hawks. Those were good games. Then there's one where the Lakers beat me by 30+ points because once somebody caught a offensive board for them, there's nothing I could do. Monster dunk after monster dunk. The rebounding is extremely better though and has become pretty much as non-issue for me. I just wish there was a better system when it came to bodying up on the offensive rebounder because it seems almost impossible to block them when they're in mid-animation. I switched back to the old school baseline low that I always ran with before next gen, and it makes the game look even better. The fouls are better and I'm damn near getting realistic scores with five minute quarters. I really don't see why people were doging the patch early on. I haven't been forced to OT or anything, which I think was one of the complaints. Good job EA.

Oh and I've only played one online game so far and it was against the Lakers. I blew dude out with the Grizz after he kept chunking up with Kobe(2/24). Not sure if the step back 3 was addressed cause I haven't played enough.

Those who tried both, is 360 and PS3 about the same? Or is one version of the game better?
Also, how is the online community base on the PS3? Thinking of getting a PS3, but not sure if there are a lot of players online.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 out, PS3 JUST RELEASED)

its the same outside of the very few jaggies. Its damn near identical. I really didnt see a difference at all, and i played about 5 games in a row on the PS3.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 out, PS3 JUST RELEASED)

Now, is wrong:
To pass the ball(to the nearest Big man) is 2 much difficult
To pass the ball with the icon passing is not good, now (sometimes)the ball hander begins to dribble before to pass.

This would be no bad if the 3 pts or 2 pts midrange shots DEFENSE were better.

NOW , THE GAME IS A "" NOT PASS THE BALL " AND SHOT(3PTS IF YOU CAN)
THIS IS A NBA shot Contest, like nba jam

downloaded the patch for 360 and rajon rondo took the first 13 shots against me and 8 of those were from 3 point line. WTF?

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 out, PS3 JUST RELEASED)

Was that no OT glitch for just the 360 or was it just certain peple getting it? I had a double OT game the other today and then today I had my best game ever in Live 10 with a OT win in my fantasy dynasty. I'm on PS3.

No OT is a byproduct of a goaltending glitch that gets the score confused. If there aren't any goaltending calls then you won't have a problem when the game is tied.

Re: NBA Live 10 Patch Impressions (360 out, PS3 JUST RELEASED)

The goal tending thing did my head in the other night. I was down 98-97 with 10 seconds left and the computer was inbounding the ball. I was all ready to foul them but they threw up a garbage shot before I could get to them! Then when I grabbed the ball on the rebound they deliberately fouled me! I hit the two free throws and won 99-98. I was stunned. But then I realised that the CPU must have thought the score was different because of a couple of goal tending calls earlier in the game. Pretty crazy stuff.

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

I put Live up on eBay this morning, decided it wasn't for me long term. Solid game, does a lot of things right, a huge step forward from Live 09 and I'm sure I will be buying Live '11 on release day next October.

My biggest issue is with how the CPU's offense functions, after a while it just got really stale. Too many "one-pass-n-chuck" situations, their transition game is spotty and doesn't attack the rim enough, very little reading of the defense and has too much of a scripted feel after a while - this became so evident once I started heavily playing CH2K8 again last week. DNA is also a concern for me, though that may be corrected by EA, but I'm skeptical. Contact on drives needs to be fixed, little guards stopping LeBron dead in his tracks has got to go as does the CPU getting so many bad contact animations when driving. As a whole it would be nice to see less contact in Live 11.

I love the controls in this game, it makes it hard to play any other basketball game. It is also the best hum vs hum basketball game I've ever played, sadly I'm not that big into the online scene. Good work this year EA, hopefully you stay on this path and keep improving the game each year.

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

ehh, im not feeling much different than you man

Its just that, I dont think there are enough situations in this game to warrant this much contact. I think 2k did a pretty good job with guys in the paint contact, putting their hands up, multiple kinds of shots, I even saw Matt Barnes do an NBA Live like move up the middle of the paint, hung in the air adjusted shot, but with no chest to chest contact and it looked pretty good.

Controls are second to none in this game and its hard to get away from that. So is the atmosphere.

That said I can't play it more than one game if that. Im not sure what happened but I went from loving this game to stomaching it again. Too much scripted contact, no defense, limited moves, every team playing defense like the 90's Bulls, no individual seperation, bland post game and sadly this game can barely make it into the 360.
