NBA Live 15 and Synergy Sports Promise To Deliver a Real-Time NBA Experience

This SOUNDS good, but it also did last year and we seen how much of a dud that was.

I really hope they learned from that, especially for their sake.

Thanks for this.

In theory this sounded good going into the previous two versions of Live that utilized the same Synergy technology.

The end results on both occasions was a game that simply didn't seem to grasp Synergy that well and make it carry over to the players on the floor...

I still believe they need someone in their gameplay dept to closely monitor if Synergy is truly IMPACTING player tendencies in this game throughout the year...

Makes you wonder once they release the game they move on to Next Year's version and don't bother to check and see if Synergy is truly doing everything they mentioned it's supposed to do in that article for the current version of the game.

But who knows maybe the 3rd time will be a charm and they finally hit the gold pot with this technology (Synergy).

Question: will tendencies and ratings be updated throughout franchise mode?

Probably not and that's also the biggest flaw of this whole Synergy thing.

Dynamic Season was a thing of beauty in Live 10

If Synergy is only for online games, BIG Moments and Tonight's Games (whatever that is), how does it truly matter? To me, it's only useful if it's implemented in some kind of season/franchise mode. I want to play a season with a team and merge MY stats and tendencies with the real world ones.

NOW, if Tonight's Games somehow influences standings and stats of the season, so you can have your own version of the playoffs etc, that's a gamechanger.

I honestly believe, for Synergy to have real impact, something like Dynamic Season needs to return. Still dumbstruck it isn't back, it was one of the coolest features in '10...

For those who don't know, Synergy does not update overall ratings and/or rosters. All it updates are player tendencies. Ratings and roster updates are manually updated, so for those who were saying it didn't work last year, you are mistaken. It updates tendencies daily, however roster updates weren't updates as fast as live 10

Synergy is terrible for guys who like to play a season or franchise...


It basically means the AI is brain dead out of the box until syndergy kicks in. That can take a couple of months...and does NOT go into any existing season / franchise. You are stuck with the "out of the box AI".


This is purely something that suits guys who play exhibition games v the CPU.

This. Make it useful and logical across all game modes.
