NBA Live 10 Blog: New Faces, New DNA

[authentic24]

Good Blog, I have no doubt that the Gameplay will be good since you guys have been excited since that ESPN interview. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=3900151 . I am mostly looking forward to the presentation of the game, at the end of the day when we play a sports related game we want to see the same things we would see if we were watching a NBA game. Prime Example would be of MLB THE SHOW 09. Easily one of thee best Baseball games not just because of gameplay but also because of presentation. The amount of detail captured in that game is mind blowing and i know you guys at EA can do it. I will be playing NBA live 10, i always buy live and 2k but at the same time i feel cheated when i buy 2k because they just throw artist detail and animations on a outdated game engine. so i hope i will only be buying one bball game this year. lol sorry for the long comment lol.

What I'm not understanding is where the actual overall rating number comes from and how it relates to all of the DNA information. Why do we need an overall rating?

i would think that would be just to identify who is the best player on the team

Well if it works like an Add on type of thing, then i think it covers the whole console.. I need to know because this is a factor that may decide whether I buy NBA LIVE 10 or not. Thanks btw

So one doesn't have anything to do with the other?

Where does the overall rating come from then?

[authentic24]

Im not saying that but that's the reason they r changing the system all together, maybe whatever formula they were using to calculate a players ovr rating wasn't directly reflective of a players skill. the rating comes from the skill ratings ran basically calculated into one rating which gives you the ovr rating. and whenever a player's skill isn't being utilized effectively or a player is performing poorly u will have a drop in that rating which in turn could drop his ovr rating.

so lets say Mo Williams starts scoring like 40 points a game and Lebron is only scoring like 8 points per game u would see a number of his skill ratings drop and u would see a number of Mo Williams skill ratings rise, from there you would see a change in the ovr ratings showing basically who is the best player on the team at that time. and the DNA also shows u a diagram on the court of how to utilize the player to get the best scoring opportunities. if play live 09 u would see exactly how it works it's really in depth.

Learning is fun!

So where do the skill ratings come from? How is one guy an 8 in a particular skill but another guy a 75 in the same skill?
