No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

[thmst30]

I was actually starting to lean towards Live this year. And then this bad joke just happened. I cannot play another sports game without editable rosters. It takes away so much for me. Just unreal EA unreal. Lost this purchase

I mean, I guess, if they determined that in the grand scheme of things (refining gameplay #1, followed by graphics/animations, ProAm and other modes, etc.) that they just didn't have the resources & time to get editing in, and that the lack of it wouldn't kill the experience, I guess I can understand that? But it's been 3 years -- a team should have been assembled to make sure this got into the game this year. I don't know what to say. This kinda negates the great things revealed this morning. Still hoping there's other big news, like classic teams coming, that would certainly blow my socks off again. I'm still going to get the game because I know there will be gameplay improvements, obvious improvements in graphics/animations, and the new modes ... but damn.

A guy that works for ea Thahoopgawd dosent even no if you can use legends outside of ultimate team smh

I know how this is going. First EA wants to capitalize on what 2K doesn't do as well. They need to cater well in that area to get causal sales in. It's not a surprise to me that they focus on visuals, online, a bit more. Gameplay will always be the main judge but they want to get fans first to buy the game.

Pro-Am and the gear can appeal to a lot of gamers than just roster editing. The road for Live is to start making the big, marketable stuff good, and then they can move on to littler stuff.

As a supporter of this game the past two years, I'm highly upset that roster and player editing is once again left out. They update rosters very slowly and do very little player accessory updates at a time. I'm probably gonna pass on the game this year or wait for it to be on sale because I just don't have any trust with Synergy.

No editing, no buy! Truly disappointing

Now, whether or not they should have had to choose is something else entirely, but we are where we are.

Absolutely made the wrong choice Roster editing adds longevity to the game

Guys they have automatic (Synergy) server based player and roster editing for the time being. The series just rebooted not too long ago. So their main concern first is most likely game modes for the casuals and gameplay enhancements for the hardcore like us. All the extra "specs" to the game itself such as "Player or Roster Editing" will most likely be implemented once they master the series and reach sale milestones!
