NBA Live 365 Status Update

[Vince]

People take video games wayyyyy too seriously..Not like I don't, but if you can't wait say another week for rosters man...c'mon.

The EA dude is coming on here and keeping everyone updated. As long as he does that, I have no problem waiting a bit.

It makes sense anyways. Do you really think there is much of a point in putting out DNA of the very first game of the season...."Hey look, Walter Herman got 45 points in the first game, let's put up his DNA where he had 1 flukey game!!!"

i think some people on here must not have lives, you guys complain way to much just grow up and enjoy the games. you act like its the end of the world.

I don't think the issue is whether people have lives. The issue is about the $60 plus people paid for and what they were told they were getting. Very simple, go buy a shirt, pay $40 and it says shrink -free. You wear the shirt once, wash it and it's shrunk and its 2 sizes smaller. They tell you we are working on fixing the problem and maybe the next time we'll get it right, or wait a month and re-wash it and it fit. I know this is reaching a bit, but if it happened you would be pissed. Especially when you know you can't get a refund. We all call it a video game but at the same time it's entertainment and a expensive one at that. Guys/Gals just want what they paid for and that is a working product. In it's current state the game is playable but by no means is the main selling point for this game doing what it was advertised to do. Are they going to fix it? I believe so. Again time on your hands have nothing to do with spending $60 plus dollars. But when I see commercials daily pushing this product, yes I have a problem. I would be totally satisfied with EA & their commercials if it included some features currently do not work but will in the near future. They are advertising a feature that currently does not work. Plain & Simple

The thing I dont get though is why are you so angry at EA for this "Made Fresh Daily" Slogan, and not 2k for its "Living Rosters" slogan... Because I read both forums and I have not seen you complain once that you were lied to by 2k on those forums, and in fact we were all lied to by 2K and EA if you really look at it... Either way I understand that it takes time for things like this to be worked out by both companies... So that is why I dont understand why the noose is so tight around EA's neck around here for some people... BOTH GAMES HAVE ISSUES....

EA for one is well known now for putting half completed games out and we find out later. Ea has a track record as of late for putting games on the shelf knowing that simple, can't miss issues exist and always comes back and say we'll take a look at it and get back and let you if it will be patched. Grant it they do patch a lot. The point for me is they are patching things that they have to have known were flawed. A lot of people on here say BE PATIENT. I will be patient, but it would be nice for EA to come clean and give us a complete game for a change.

I bought Live for the 365, Made Fresh Daily feature, 1 week into the season and it does not work. Mad props to Steph but I see guys on here telling Steph what needs to be fixed, or what roster edits need to be made. I thought EA was taking care of that. Am I wrong here? I did not buy 2K for Living Rosters feature I bought it because of it's gameplay. So to answer your question as to why I am not going at 2K that is why. As some has stated before I am really starting to think us gamers in this forum are the ones feeding EA the info to get the rosters correct. Anyone disagree? If you do, pop into the Live 09 Roster forums and see guys saying on numerous post that this is not right, or this guy needs a headband , or this guy needs this wristband on the left arm. If this was supposed to be the way this was meant to go, them I am flat out wrong and don't have a problem admitting it. I just thought everything was going to be done by this T-moble/Synergy deal.

Again, I think it's great that Steph comes on here and all but the fact remains it does say 365, updated daily and that is not the case. Peace!!!!

This is the Live 09 forum so therefore that is all that I will talk about because you already know that it will turn into a 2K vs EA slaughter and that is really not my way style to get into that. If you guys are enjoying Live09 as it is that's all that matters, if you are not enjoying Live 09 again that's fine too. I just hate when Posters get on other Posters because their opinion about a game is not to their liking. We all have different opinions about games and someones opinion about a particular game should be respected and a lot of times it is not on this site. As Aretha Franklin said "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" Peace!!!!

Both great posts. KDRE mentions all the time that people use other games as excuses and you see it being done here.

I will point out that people are holding EA to the stance "made fresh daily" yet you have new rosters available to you right now.

It's marketing. We've seen this before where a developer has not lived up to their hype. I don't understand why people are acting like this is the first time this has happened. I don't want to say you must be new to gaming but people are reacting as if this is a new phenomenon.

If you're upset, do what jsky did and move on. I think they've been more than gracious with the process and as bk has mentioned, you can't really ask any more from them outside of having these updates every single day.

I'm sure they will get there. Let's have a little patience. I've said time and time again that team and player tendencies will NOT be different until a good ways into the season. So even if they do update tendencies RIGHT NOW, you're not getting an accurate depiction of a team's play styles.

I beg to differ. If i hear any form of the word cheese again (ie. cheez, chz, cheeeeezerrr, 1chzzzz0mg!!!, etc.) I am going to throw something.

I totally agree with you Pared, but my main issue is not even the game really. I hate seeing the commercial being ran and people are buying the game based off what they just say. In my line of work your word is your BOND. Thank the good Man above that I am blessed enough to purchase games and pretty much what I want when I want, but what about the guy who maybe can only afford say 3 games a year and has to be very selective about their puchase and get the most bang for their buck. I would never tell anyone not to buy Live 09, but I would warn them that it's not all their as of yet. If this feature pans our I will be the 1st one in line to purchase it again. I may/maynot have jumped the gun when I sold mine because the feature may turn out to be the best thing since sliced bread. And if that's the case I will be on here saying so. I just don't like the feeling of being burned nor do I go around burning bridges with people, not because I may have to cross that bridge again but it's just not right. Now let me mention, I do wrong and am not a saint Okay let me stop there. Too much info. Guys if you enjoy Live that's all that matters. Peace!!!
