Glad they are sticking with it. Shame it wasn't what it should have been from launch.

I want nba live to succeed so bad, it's heading in the right direction

Its a success to me. Just too bad people never gave it a chance. At launch I almost sold it in a couple days. Glad I didn't

If we want to make 2k the villain that's fine...(even though I have no idea why they are being brought up in a Live title update thread) but that sure doesn't make EA the hero...there's a thread a few ways down that still has some unfulfilled promises in it... I'm as excited as everyone else about the patch and the future....but let's postpone the EA parade and just appreciate that Live is finally getting back on their feet...

We haven't even seen if the patch fixes anything. A shootaround mode was NOT the "most requested" feature EA.. no I wanted you to fix the core gameplay which was broken on so many levels.

Is the A.I going to continue to mismanage late game situations? Am I still going to receive losses in UT when the server crashes? Kind've curbed my excitement a bit..

Title updates are patches. On PC we call it a patch. On consoles we call it a "title update" because Sony and MS like to pretend nothing is ever wrong with a console game i guess, lol.

Honestly, I enjoy the game. Not because it's super realistic or made for sim gamers. It's so easy to just hop in a game of Rising Star mode and just do your thing. You don't have to spend a crap-ton of in-game currency to get accessories. You just equip them. If you haven't played Rising Star, you should. It's a really simple game mode that's pretty east to get into.

Player models are honestly very well done on this game. Hopefully with the lighting enhancements this will be more apparent. Really for me it comes down to the fact that this game is about 8,000 animations away from being very good. Im hopeful for live's future.

It's all about connotation.

The two words carry the same denotation.

Somewhere around 2006-2007, game companies decided that "patch" had developed a negative connotation, so they started using "title update" as a more neutral, PR-friendly word.
