If toned down a bit as far as opacity I think it could work, right now it's just to in your face. Pasta, If there is a way you can mention this to whomever you are in contact with on the team I think it should be addressed. I'm an illustrator and I think any artist would agree adjusting the opacity will help in a big way. Right now it just obscures the court.

Quick-Strike Ball Handling is supposed to make it more difficult to get to the rim than ever before, but you wont need to get to the rim now, just pull up Lego Island and shoot from your favorite color. Just look at comments about this: NLSC: http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic49948.php&sid=577fc03b4d0f2f180f086d8240b0d751 OS: http://forums.operationsports.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=210838 I mean what happened to the "we're focusing on the 5 on 5 basics". This is the reason why Live has never won Sports Game of the Year in its 12 year history. Too many gimmicks. Their competition has already won SGOtY in 7 short years, and they dont resort to any the stuff Live has used. FSS= 1 on 5 the whole game. Why did you have to switch abilities to make shots. And now you have a pie chart, this is just disgusting when you think about it. As 617kid from NLSC put it

I'll be explaining how it actually factored into the games when we were playing, and then our discussion with the producers following the session.

I mean look at that picture... if you know your NBA, ball whatever you wanna call it, then you dont need to have this freaking pie chart graph on the court to help you out.. . It gets worse every year. All we need to hear is Marv Albert say “BoomShakalaka” “Is it the shoes?” & “he’s heating up”.

This isnt about 2k , this is about getting a game of true SIM basketball without these freaking gimmicks which EA just cant get away from because they said it themselves that they arent making a pure sim game. Its half sim, half arcade. This is only going to help the scrubs that dont know how to play just run to these color patterns, and hoist from there.

Now guys will be running around with the ball, until they get into these hotspots before they even attempt a shot. NTY... Sounds like just another GIMMICK. Online is going to be a mess.

Thats something hopefully they'll have fixed for release, cause it took away from doing anything in the corner or close to the sidelines.
