NBA Live 14 Is Barely Updating Its Players

[The 24th Letter]

Looks like a lot of the ratings were updated as well.

New 3-point ratings:

Korver - 94
Belinelli - 91
Allen - 85
Marshall - 84
Dragic - 81

Overall ratings

Dragic - 84

Those are just the ones that I noticed immediately. I'm sure there were more changes.

Roster editors on this site make rating changes for the 'other' game for free / in their own time. These guys at EA are getting PAID to do this. In the time they have been on twitch and facebook, they could have done a roster updated with UPDATED RATINGS. Anyone here could do it in a few hours. There's no other way to describe this other than they took people's money, laughed and left. Maybe we are naïve thinking these guys give a crap. I mean, there's barely been a single rating edit. Trades weeks late at times. Maybe they are not "lazy", maybe they just don't give a crap.

I see you just got here in January, so let me start by making clear I know the quotes, I know who said them. You don't have to give me that information. I'm one of the most critical people of EA Sports and this franchise on these forums, so this isn't me trying to excuse them or anything.

If you're going to criticize them though, you need to be a little more fair/accurate about doing so. Calling them lazy or lacking work ethic just isn't the case. Again, making video games is hard work, making sports video games on yearly cycles is even harder. There's a difference between lazy and deceitful. What you're getting is deceitfulness. IMO EA Sports HAD to put a game out this year if they ever wanted Live to be a thing again. There's no chance in hell that they could cancel this year's game again and expect to ever come back. This game is not good and full of problems so they need to sell this thing and just make it to Live 15. They know they have large group of guys that'll eat up everything they serve up to them no matter how many times they see video of them spitting in the pot while they're preparing their food. So they'll promise whatever they need to, to get people looking in their direction to grab as many sales as they can off this product they know is bad.

They're working on 15 now man. As they should be. All that stuff not getting done like it should this year? That's not laziness, it just wasn't ever going to happen the way it was promised.

I'll grant you that making a game is difficult.


But we are talking about updating rosters and editing ratings. That does NOT take a lot of work. The 'other' game has an absolutely killer roster out right now that makes the game much better with all accessories, tendencies etc. That roster was done for FREE in their OWN time by users here. There's no excuse for EA's LIVE team barely changing a rating all season, barely fixing accessories, leaving injured players in starting line ups for months etc etc. A roster update, forget the hourly stuff they promised / even once a week would have been acceptable and it would not have been hard to do. Especially as they block users from doing it themselves. They basically went to sleep on major trades, ratings and injuries all season. That IS apathy.

I logged on a few moments ago and the rosters were updated. I checked here and there was no mention of it as I thought there would be. Just started over my Dynasty with the "new"rosters.
