Perfect… thats good to know (as i wipe the sweat from my forehead in relief). That’s a bad misinforming article in regards to that feature and some one should point that out to gamespot and EA.

Alright yeah I was right. It only automatically switches for you if you are holding the left trigger in.

Thanks Padre,

I do recall your comments from comm. day impressions which is why this concerned me. I hope this is just a sorta defensive lock on feature and not feature forced on us.

I’m eager to hear what they have to say because up until now “D” has been a non subject with live, and thats not a good thing. Don’t give us a 101 ways to score then handicap the “D”.

[quote comment="3315"]
Interestingly, if the opposing team passes the ball, Live 08 will automatically switch your player control to the player closest to the ball. Although there’s no option to turn this feature off that we could find, you can go into the menu system and choose to control one position for the entire game if you like.[/quote]

I have no idea what that is talking about. I was playing off the ball a lot.

If you even go back to my comm. day impressions I think I mentioned that due to the defensive play issues it was more beneficial to play off the ball than on it, which I communicated to the Live dev team was the opposite of how it should be.

But if I remember right I think there was the option of a way to have it switch automatically for you. But certainly wasn’t something that was forced on you.

Of course this was over two months ago so things could’ve changed or maybe I just don’t remember correctly. I’ve emailed to try and get clarification.

I just don’t like the attitude of we want gamers to play or game the way we want it played. Thats what this feature seems like. I think all the other aspects of the game are nice. Its this one feature that stands out like a sore freakin thumb!

I do like how 2K had admittedly slimed this 08 version of their players down. It’s funny how the typical 2k fan acted as if the player models were perfect yet 2K admitted they were to bulk.

Back to EA, if they let this crap slide it’s the end of the road for them. we don’t want to shell out $60 for less control. Morons !
