NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

[Flightwhite24]

I'm losing 39-38 at the half with the Lakers but it shows in the stats I have scored 40 points in the paint. Steph maybe you can answer this one? Steph also are their other stats glitches that you are aware of. When I play stats are a big deal for me. Thanks

Yep, we know about this my man. Something we can fix for next year.

How about fixing it this year instead of making us spend another $60? Not to be an *** but i will anyways. This is a very good game, but its still nto finished and there are a lot of little thigns that could be very easily cleaned up taken the time. You guys do this every year. The rotations are still messed up and could be fixed. There are still a lot of graphical glitches and the gameplay still could be tuned a bit. A lot of little roster things and stuff like that. I understand you guys want to sell more games and we as consumers in essence are paying you to do this stuff, but after a while this gets kind of obvious. Another patch and this game could be a 10 imo. Instead we have to spend another $60 to get a game that should have worked right in the first place? Who's to say there won't be problems with next years as well. It's every year.

It just seems to me like you guys could be a lot more productive and still make money releasing a polished product, and then have time to concentrate and dream up new features and stuff like that instead of housekeeping bugs. This stuff could be pretty easily corrected taken the time EA, even though its a pain, but you know this as well as i do. I know you guys have jobs and families and things on your plate and i'm not trying to make your job harder here. It just seems to me like you guys do this every year and just create more work for yourselves. In the end the consumer feels ripped off a bit.

It has 100% nothing to do with that Walker. We aren't witholding stuff from you to sell more games.

There are patch limitations and numbers that we have to deal with when patching things.

By us being here, we're trying to educate all of you on what it takes to make a game. It seems like it'd be simple to clean up rotations, but that's code which wasn't there when NBA LIVE 09 was released. Whenever you mess with code, mistakes could happen and the process gets longer and longer. We are right in the middle of building NBA LIVE 10, and this is just the reality of our dev cycles Walker. There will be problems with 10 Walker. That I can assure you. There are issues with every single game that has ever been made.

Maybe so. I just had to say that. I just want a game that works right out of the box and is fun adn plays a good game of basketball for once. This game is the closest i have seen to that. Live 09 is an awesome game Steph so dont get me wrong. The rotations and stuff are still not quite right and I dont have time to be messing around with these games either trying to get them to work right. I just want them to work. That's where i'm coming from. I dont get paid to make games. I jsut play them. I've been gaming fora long time and it just gets tiring after a while, messing with these games trying to get them to work, especially when i dont have access to fix it myself. I'd jsut like a game to work right for once. That would be so sweet.

I hear you and totally understand. Just know that we want that too and are constantly trying to give you that.

[Walker8]

Cool man. I understand what you do is a process and ultimately its the goal that matters. I am patient but i'm also not in certain regards. Hard to explain. But I do understand what you guys do and are trying to do even though i might sound like i don't sometimes. It's definately good to hear it from you that that is your goal.

Lets not start this crap again. Walker stop it with this mess in the wrong thread.

You arent giving any impressions whining about making the game right to the wrong dev team in the first place.

Go to the Wishlist thread and voice your opinion about 2010, pm t hese guys but please stop it in here.

People are here to discuss impressions and that's it.
