NBA Live 09 Producer Blog

[RubenDouglas]

i still find it almost childish that you're calling out a company that CANT DO what yall just did, simply because the synergy license was bought exclusively by EA. the whole blog comes off as "look at what we can do with our money". Does is it register that way with anyone else? say what you want about exclusive deals but its good for noone. yall better bring it for the next 5 years

oh well. ill still be buying it and seeing what its all about.

I hear that Fifa is excellent, and with Skate being awesome, Live is pretty much the worst thing EA Sports is putting out if you don't count their awful, awful, awful college game. They took a few steps towards a playable game this year and now they're talking **** about one of the best sports games out, regarding a feature that doesn't even affect franchise play. If Rob Jones put out a blog talking smack about all of the things 2k does better than Live, we'd all be playing 2k11 by the time he finished typing. "If it's in the game..." you should compete in the game, and not on blogs. How about fixing that rebounding, passing, defense, shooting and loose balls. It's pitiful watching this guy talk about 2k when his franchise just got pulled off of the "too broken to play" list. Live has taken some nice steps, but they take steps backward when people like this take EA back to their reputation of hype over quality gaming.

Cosign. This is something that reeks of jealousy. The fact that the guy on the cover of his last game said that he was a 2k guy (until they threw money at him...a surprisingly popular approach to EA's problems), and some of the biggest and most popular stars are a part of 2k's title this year...hmm, maybe they should start to work on getting the game a bit more lifelike and accurate.

Last time I checked, this is still the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and anyone (including a producer of a video game) has the right to express his views and opinions any way he chooses to do.

Get over it.

And we have the right to express our views on his views. Get over that. It works both ways. You put an opinion out there and people respond. That's the way it works.

couldn't say it better myself. and as a 2k fan and somebody that will be buying 2k9 this tuesday i will admit Live DNA imo knocks 2k insider out the park. but overall 2k9 just has more going for it. but this blog is no different than the 2k guys braggin about how there basketball game is the best in the world.

Yea No-Dauhhhhhhhhh

Exclusive? No way, I wonder who else EA received as "exclusive" oh yea the NFL License, and just exactly how that turned out for consumers?

Maybe you odda improve your gameplay before you rant about another games features Sean!!!
