[The 24th Letter]

When Synergy is now 0-4 in its effort to replicate how how players play in real life....roster editing definitely has an impact on the way the game plays....

Really as simple as that...

Exactly ... I don't even see how you can trust synergy when the AI has no idea what its doing. Giving user roster editing along with sliders removes the need for synergy and they know it lol.

Don't really see how Synergy could have any impact on Live's gameplay the last two years when Live's gameplay the last two years just wasn't that good to begin with.

It truly is amazing, that you don't even know what you said. Reread this a few times, you'll get it. Your subconscious is spinning these mental gymnastics forever

So if lebron alone isnt posting up as much as id like, im supposed to go to sliders and make a universal change?

I think it was a priority on the gameplay side for the synergy stuff to matter this year. I thought the last 2 years every team played the same, and I'll be curious to see if we see something different once the demo drops.

I know what I saw at EA though, and IF the gameplay makes the leap that they think it will (and again, I have my own opinions about that that you can figure out by reading some of my posts), a large leap in gameplay paired with an exciting new mode is almost enough to make up for a lack of changes to Dynasty. It's not going to be enough for me to not need two basketball games this year, but if there isn't an improvement to 2K's defensive AI, Live might be able to complete on the gameplay side.

Oh, and the crew we had for the Live event in July (myself included) desperately wants to fight for Dynasty and LUT next year. We had 4 hardcore Dynasty guys and 4 hardcore LUT guys, so trust me when I say that Dynasty is going to be discussed A LOT. I wrote articles like this for every team last year and I plan on doing it again this year. I'm insane when it comes to franchise/dynasty stuff in NBA games. I'll fight for it.

None of this makes any sense to me bro.

Really disappointed at these devs approach i.e. ignorance to the topic of editing. :

Anyways, that new camera being a hybrid of baseline and broadcast cams definitely sounds like the rumored "Live 95" 45-degree angle cam...
