Dynamic DNA: What Does it Mean?

[RaychelSnr]

With EA's recent announcement of Dynamic DNA in NBA Live 09, many gamers were left with a puzzled look in their forums posts (figuratively of course). Matthew DiStaulo checks in today with an article that explains the feature a bit and even speculates a bit on the possibilities in his article, Dynamic DNA: What does it Mean?

Quote:

"Nonetheless, many game makers consider roster updates a luxury rather than a need -- or they simply don't want to sacrifice the manpower to work on a roster update, much to the chagrin of the hardcore gaming community. The problem with that philosophy is it not only shows a lack of concern for the people who buy a company’s video game, but it doesn’t account for the unpredictability of sports as a whole. No one can accurately determine who is going to have a breakout season or a sub-par one at that."

Good read... I'd rather have real-time happenings in the game instead of real life data downloads because it would seem that you would feel like you didn't have control of your team ingame. Who knows they both might be good or bad, we'll see...

What's the problem? Happenings = something that's taking place.

Is that really what 2k's feature is? It was my understanding that 2k's DNA is just for create a player and possibly editing.
