Is there anyway to edit controls. Having to hold R1 to icon pass is horrible. Not intuitive at all. Also is there lead passing in this game?

Out of curiosity, why are you sharing this information? Also, what does the creative director do?

Big problem with this game is that when you call a play for a specific player using the playwheel (let's say SF), once the play is in motion and after the first pick or pass, it'll place whoever regardless of position in the assigned spot on the floor of how the play runs.



Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly but if you call a play for Durant for him to have the ball in the high post, you may have a PG posted up in the paint or a Center behind the 3-point line.



I've seen this multiple times.



It's like once the play is ran for a player, spots on the floor are predetermined but there is no logic that says bigs should be down low and wings should be up high.



I can't be the only one to notice this.

Yeah I've noticed it. Reporting it now.

This is my experience as well. I have the retail copy and the midrange game doesn't exist. Same as last year imo. Either drive to the paint or 3's

Yes, there are no catch and ahoot mid range / two point plays.

It is all drive and kick...three balls.

Daryl Morey is the new creative director on NBA Live.

The big problem is that every team in LIVE 16 , going on the demo, plays this way.

It is entirely paint shots and three balls.

Which means it will get old very, very fast unfortunately. There are no real team styles or variety no mid range game is a massive game killer.

Unless the day one patch fixes this.

It was a joke. Daryl Morey is the GM of the Houston Rockets, and someone who has pushed very much for layups or 3s offense, and to eschew long-2s at all costs (unless you have a LaMarcus Aldridge or Dirk Nowitzki who is killer at them).

No argument from me.

Anyone know how to change the camera in game? Trying to do the "zoom" trick

Yeah, I'll say it out here, but today has been a pretty rough patch for the game and I. The Warriors were absolutely barreling through my defense. 12 minute quarters on Superstar, I was the Wolves.

They shot 8 first half mid range shots, which was ok, but the amount of times that they should have pulled up instead of dozing through the lane was unfortunate.

It was default sliders, so I'll mess around with them to see if I can help remedy the situation. Granted, not all playbooks are finalized, so hopefully that will help open up the midrange.

I've noticed that people spend a bit of time in the lobby if they don't know how to queue up.

As a visual aid... EA should 'highlight' the Host like every 10-15 seconds to remind the current 'Lobby Host' to start the game. (see below)

And if you just joined a new Lobby, for the first 10 seconds you should see this:

The countdown resetting when someone joins or leaves a lobby is annoying as sh*t, just start the game after 30secs if there is 2 on each side.

AFK players need to be kicked for inactivity.

Call me crazy but I think the sliders effect Mid Range shots for the CPU...

Once I'm 100% positive about this I'll provide my feedback in the slider thread....

It's kind of like all the weird animations inside the paint....some of those animations mainly layups become very rare the higher you tend to raise a certain slider.

The sliders effect animations and if I continue to see what i saw last night this mid range shot issue might just simply be the CPU defering to 3's and layups because the game programs them to think that way....

but we might be able to over ride the code with sliders....

For example they absolutely will not dunk the ball at all if you put Dunk Frequency down to 0

I was hoping to enjoy this demo more than I did but I feel that EA still has a way to go with this game. The main negative for me is the action within the paint. It seems that once a player gets into the paint there is not much that you can do to stop them defensively. It is almost as if the defensive player is not there and there seems to not be many contact animations. Also rebounding seems off as well. There have been many times that I have pressed triangle to try to rebound while the ball was near me and my player did not even attempt to grab the ball. It seems that there is a lot of work still left for Live as far as replicating 5 vs. 5 basketball.

That being said I do think that the presentation in the game is great as well as the arenas and overall aesthetic. EA made great improvements to the look of the game. I also am really enjoying the Pro Am modes a lot. I just hope that I get to play with some OSers soon. I think EA is headed in the right direction and look forward to seeing the improvements they will continue to make in the coming years. Hopefully some of the aforementioned problems can be fixed with patches once the retail game comes out.

I also had a weird glitch happen that I hope is not in the retail version. Did anyone else have a glitch where players were missing part of the torso and jersey? Happnened to Ibaka and Mo Williams in a game I had.

Mine is still installing so only been able to play the quick game but I hope not. Lack of team differentiation plagued Live 15 and it was basically NBA Generic 15.

I hope we don't get NBA Generic 16 this time. Different play styles are much needed.

I put three pointers, paint etc at zero. I put mid at 100.

The CPU shot 27 three balls and attacked the paint non stop.

I doubt the sliders work PM...hoping it is something a tuning update can fix though.

Note: i am playing on all star level. Have also played superstar. Not sure if that is a factor.

Pro was way, way too easy.
