NBA Live 10 Blog: New Faces, New DNA

[carnalnirvana]

when the ratings get reworked i hope you guys focus on the intangibles..........

i re-edited my league for my chise and i was shocked at how editing brings out animations.

for example: defensive & offensive sink & swim ratings i dont know why it was so low but when raised you see guys battling for position

another rating offensive rebounding IQ raise this and you will see bigs crash the boards instead of breaking out on a one man break i dont know why most players have low ratings in these.

i have never cared for overall ratings I would like to see ratings show that players are good at what they do....

tyrone hill a vet back in the 76ers AI years is a dude I want to see live capture and i have captured it in my cpoy just a hard working physical enforcer on the glass, hard screens, hard fouls , no free layups. etc etc

my only problem with the code is that i have more than one profile.. and dont really want to b forced to buy a new one..but i understand why you wud have to buy a new one if u didnt get the game new

Hey Steph or anyone else who can answer this .... when the DNA updates through out the season do i have to quit my Franchise to get the latest updates?..or will the DNA update during my Franchise as well? i hated starting over whenever there was a trade or something new developed

I don't get how this would work. You don't want to have trades happen during your franchise? Let's say someone like Dwight Howard gets traded to the kings (just an example) and you are controlling the magic, but you already traded him to another team. What would happen?

Jose dunked twice last year....both very soft dunks as well. The 3 prior seasons with the Raptors he never dunked once and that last clip is when Jose was much yonger. When Live 09 first came out Jose would dunk waaaaaaay to much. Then, Steph went in and fixed in a manual roster update.

I think the only way it could be done is to have a "DNA Franchise" option...

You would play your franchise mode as normal. But trades and all that stuff are turned off.

You're franchise simply follows the daily DNA updates.

I know it has it's short comings but I think it would add a bit of continuity that exhibition games just can't give you.

I for one would love the challenge of having to deal with the trades and form slumps that inevitably arise. Mainly because it reflects real life and is not just a made up scenario.

What if you were to use that "DNA Franchise" option, and simulated like 2 years forward? Shaq has retired in your game, but maybe not in real life and he got traded.
