Looking forward to helping you this year with Live.

I'm a bit jaded about the whole "updated within hours" thing. They said it last year and it wasn't consistently true. I recall trying to play the NBA Rewind games within 24 hours of seeing it on TV but couldn't access anything until a few days after it happened. Not really a huge deal, but it definitely makes me question the accuracy of some of these claims. I have no doubt they have the technology to do it, but I'm skeptical about how they are able to implement it in the game.

Also, the Synergy data controlling player tendencies thing was supposed to be in the game last year. I'm pretty sure every computer controlled player did the same exact post move every time they received the ball. Every team ran the same exact two out one in scheme. Although, credit due, every team played differently against the pick and roll (which was a blast to figure out).

I think the ideas sound really, really cool, but I'll wait to see the execution before I'm truly impressed.

I hate hearing that this is their philosophy behind the game is too always give a user a connected experience, it's great in theory but was **** in practice for Live 14. Rosters weren't updated daily or even weekly for that matter. Live 10, mind you a game that came out in 2009, had better server stability and updates than a game released last year. How does that happened? More than anything wrong with Live 14 last year, Synergy Updates was one of the biggest aspects they failed on. I played a lot of Live 14 and enjoyed it, but man did I not see any differences to player tendencies throughout the year, zero, none. Teams didn't utilize their weapons correctly, which might have been because of game play faults but it was annoying see teams like OKC who didn't try to dominate using KD or Westbrook. I thought Synergy would finally make the game challenging, in a sense that you should worry that you are going against KD, Lebron, or any other star. ****, numerous games against the Knicks, Felton would be out shooting Melo by a lot even though I played tight defense on Felton, mind you this was on All-Star difficulty as well. I would rather them have a weekly goal to update rosters and play styles rather than throw out some hype words about the potential of their services or what their partners provided. Weekly updates and smooth online play should be the focus, not a promise of the future of roster updates.

100% agree to this, it seemed in 14 there wasn't any difference to players as everyone play the same. C and PF all played in post and we all know there are C and PF that play in the wings like Dirk and Aldridge. They better show it ain't nobody falling for same lies again. EA do yourself a favor and show what you got.

Terrible look for EA to take a shot like that.

Despite 2k's server woes, the only other thing to say about 2k is the gameplay is amazing. Live still hasn't shown a gameplay video, and thats the reddest of red flags there ever could be.

It was a chicken **** statement to cheaply boost sales without laying all their cards on the table.

Also, MyPark has been working perfectly today. Night and day difference between now and last week.

I was wondering if I was playing an offline franchise will the synergy still work, or is it just for online leagues?

I do believe it's going to influence the game as a whole, only if you are connected to the EA servers that is!
