This just seems like such a rushed, poor mans Live 365 that I can't even get excited about it.

I GUARANTEE that the added animations are no big deal, and 90% of us won't even notice them when they're added.

It all sounds like a PR campaign to combat Live365.

I can't believe people are this naive. Do you have any idea how long it takes for these things to be designed, coded, and implemented into games? BOTH companies had this roster update stuff in their design docs a long long time ago. Now, there may have been leaked information early on in development on one side or the other, but just because Live announced theirs first means nothing. If you didn't notice, Live announced EVERYTHING much earlier. Does that mean 2k didn't even have a game at that point? Obviously not.

Designing games is real business people, adult stuff. None of this happens over night.

so you trust EA over 2k? EA is a gimmick company. at least 2k listens to their fans and takes it all to heart by addressing all the issues we complain about. maybe 2k copied/stole it from EA but at least we have a higher chance of trusting 2k on their gimmicks to actually work and be useful i dunno. EA just looks for a gimmick each year and markets everything behind it trying to sell to the masses instead of actually listening to us. how credible is this live DNA thing especially after years of poor sports games?
