Welcome to the NBA LIVE Forums!
Thought on hardships of 2K players on NBA Live
Ill make it straight to the point if you want to debate we shall below:
-Cant spam dribble stick Nba live dribble system will throw them off
-real bad ones tend to eat up the shot clock
-Used to ridiculous amounts of space on the court hence have trouble with off the ball movement
-NBA 2k except now with e-league coming on really promotes individualistic play
-2k YouTube peeps preach saucing, jelly, greens and swag over just winning games
-shooting selection is stunted because defense is tighter
- you cant hit 30ft jumpers
- think because it is street ball that this is like the park
- Used to 2k pace
I realized this after watching some YouTube today, then playing 2k17 and then the Live18 demo as i played with the randoms. they try to use the same tactics that they use in 2k17 they run around on top of the 3 point arc try to spam dribble moves. i think most have started to figure out they cant shoot from 30ft like 2K17. Still, they attempt the dribble moves and the shot clock drain. 2k players cant cheese the baseline nore can they spam steal so now they are evolving to use one of the only serious exploit i have seen. Driving animations which anyone can do(maybe the reason for so many wing scorers and slashers), but still those are less effective than what can be done on 2K17 to get shots up.
This game is not slow, is not stiff and it is not anything unusual to an EA sports game. This games moves at an EA pace because it is an EA game. when ever i switch between games that is the one difference i can sense then it is the the shooting on 2k i can hit 30-35ft no problem so can 80% of the community. 2K is very, very different and that is what is giving them hardships.

That said, I'm sure people will figure out ways to cheese in Live. But I'm glad guys can't just spam random dribbling moves all day without getting tired then throw it up from 30 feet. I've seen some ridiculous dunks in the paint but paint defense also feels way more realistic as well (to me). I can't wait for the full release to drop.
You definitely can't play them the same way. I think love needs to slow down the gameplay so users can have more control. Maybe turn up the off and on Ball push offs, jostle, and dribble effectiveness. Just to give it a Lil more looseness. But it's a great game. I hate how you can make 30 -35 ft jumpers in 2K. Curry is curry for a reason. Not EVERYBODY can do that. I also hate how a open shot is affected because of a zone defense or if a player just runs at you. If I'm open I'm open and I have a good look I should have a good chance of making it. Players are affected by this in 2K. Live does a great job, hand down, man down. Geeen light. Just cause you're running at me doesn't mean I should miss it.
As I stated in the comment section below. I have mentioned there should be a learning curve when it comes to common basketball knowledge, and the fundamentals that brings to the game. Separate the two components when it comes to it, and not too many people love playing with a person like that and in real life. It looks great, but you're not going to go to far. When I talk about separating the components of the two. That means have that pool that's created for the two different styles. You have your competitive style on how the game is played that people knows how to play the game, and you have those cheese like players who doesn't understand the basics.
It's like Tekken how they do their rankings, and the same with FIFA as well. EA should implement the basketball IQ outside of the rankings. Your grade and level on how you play the game increases, and your skill points increases with it. The more it increases? The better the competition, and the greater of the rewards that even increases the rating of your player. FIFA has a pool or a ladder to move up in, and lets say you made it to a promotion match? You have to meet this certain level of a quota (player grade) that effect you. Even with the demotion match it should reflect not meeting your player grade, and if your team lost the game. So, people should never focus on the points, but more within the stats itself on how your player contributes whether it's a defensive stop, steals, rebounds, blocks, assists, screens, etc.
If you want to stop people approaching the game like it's 2K? Make it where they need to work for their points, and how to contribute in the playing styles.
Pardon the language on this YouTube video.
Yea i agree 100%...i dont think points should matter so much to teammate the reward is already getting points. I saw the video and commented as well i need to go look for your post.
This game really forces the players to play a more team-oriented, half-court offense and punished those who treat it as an arcade basketball game.
You HAVE to move around the court, using screens to free you for jump shots. The defense is on you like glue so do not even think of pulling up unless you've cleared some space with a screen or beat you man off the dribble first.
EA, honestly and truly, the only thing this game is lacking in is the number of animations for dribble moves, layups, dunks and post moves. Each NBA team's best player(s) moves could be used in the game or even if you had like 20 or 30 animations captured for each category of moves instead of predetermined packaged move sets. The ability to assign each individual move is what will set players apart and we as gamers love customization!!!
This is just the beginning of my feedback from the demo. I have gotten the wing shooter, wing defender, and slasher to Level 20 on the demo. Cannot wait for the full game to release!!
Hopefully there will be an Online Franchise included with the real game.
Question: How did you create multiple players? On different accounts or under one account?
Bro, you have to delete your saved game data for Live Demo. Do not delete the Demo.
INCORRECT !!!! You don't need to delete your save data. What you do is go back into The ONE then CUSTOMIZE then Appearance then Reset Player, that way you keep everything you unlocked
Word, good looking
Oh ok. Thats wassup
2k is now a defensive oriented game, ruined by the cry babies who couldn't guard players one on one, so 2k nerfed stamina, dribbling and buffed defense. That games unplayable, you completely miss wide open jump shots with players closing out late. Live 18 reminds me of NBA2k15, and that's a good thing, because that was the last great iteration of the franchise. Sadly, NBA2k is really aweful now, and so is World of Warcraft, both great games ruined by casuals and developers giving in to their complaints.
NBA Live 18 is where its at.
Necroposting is against the rules, folks. Let's try to keep that in mind, thanks!
