I'm finish playing NBA Live on Xbox Live! EA needs to improve

Ok I am a NBA Live fan and will pick Live over ESPN anytime but playing online is just pissing me off. Its not even worth the frustration. Ok I stated before not having fatigue on and limiting rated games to All-Star was just flat out stupid but now theres more gay issues lol. One person on here said somethen about using one person only the entire game on defense. Ok I played someone who took that part to a completely different level. What he would do is stick on one person and then when I pass it to someone so he can guard me he would switch off everytime. I swear I would try to get him to guard me about 3 or 4 times each possession and he will switch off like a ***. Throughout the game I got him to guard me twice without him switching off, all the other times he switch players on me. Those two times he guarded me the kid was horrible on defense. I mean like he doesnt understand what defense is.

This spin move crap. I never knew it was this dominating. I mean I dominate in all of my games but I just didnt know the spin move can be abuse that bad. For one, NBA players don't even spin a lot. Secondly if you catch Gasol spinning in the lane he is losing that ball in a quick second. If you spin more then twice your most likely losing the ball whoever you are. If you spin period you have a horrible chance of getting away with it. Spin moves only work in certain situations. This kid was just spinning on the CPU all day and driving staight to the lane. I mean I can prevent it some of the time but not all the time. Spins moves are not that successful in real life. If you spin on me in person I am ripping that ball away from you. If I don't do that then I'm gonna force u to travel or double dribble. Half spins you can get away with but NBA Lives does the complete 360 spin lol.

Next thing is the blocks. Yes, I know the blocks were bad before I playing online but comon lol. I mean while playing online I am just realizing a lot of stuff wrong with this game. Most of this stuff I already knew about but it just gets taken to another level when you play online. If I am going for a dunk I would get a clean block. I mean a clean block. I am talking about a get out of my house block let me send this back to its mamma. This isnt being done with a Ben Wallace or Shaq, these blocks were being done by NON shot blockers. I can understand swat but packing my dunk? Yes, it happens in the NBA SOMETIMES but when it does theres usually a foul call. Lets get serious now.

Due to these kinds things I will not even waste my time playing online. Its not the people I'm playing because I'm winning games, its just NBA Live bascially. I am still piss on them limiting you to the All-Star level for rated games, Madden does the same thing and I believe Madden's fatigure is turnt off also.

Before playing online I stop playing NBA Live anyways. I played two seasons on it so I was taking a break but had to try it online. Been playing Madden since the game came out and will continue playing it online and offline, which is way better online then Live.

But if I come across someone who wants to play an unrated game on Live with some real settings it would be nice, but it'll never happen lol.

Re: I'm finish playing NBA Live on Xbox Live! EA needs to improve

somethen was wrong with your connection cause you kept disconnecting and when I invited it said right away that you decline. Dunno what was going on with that. But anyways I bet that kind twice lol. First time he quit and made excuses. Second time I beat him again and then made more excuses lol. And in the second time he took WAY more time then me doing subs and press start way more often then me. The funny thing is that he continues to talk sh*t like he is good. When I first came in the chat I was declining invitations cause I wanted a real game. Him and some other kid started talkin junk saying I'm scared. So I got him to play me in a real game and he goes up by like 12 in the first quarter. This is in the first three or four minutes in the quarter and we are playing 7 minute quarters. I catch up and from there its just history. He ended up quitting in the middle of the second quarter while he was down by like 9 points saying I take too long and I always press start when actually I only press start about 5 times. When I did it was for subs. The real funny thing is that he complain about it in the first game but in the second game he took way more time then me and press start way more times lol.

See when you have it on Superstar with fatigue on it brings out the opponents skill cause on all-star with no fatigue you can just abuse the game. BigBossMan is his name, I wont even forget that kid. Should of added him to my buddy list so I can continue beating him until he stops talkin trash. I wanna play like a top rank player on these settings to see how good they actually are.
