NBA Live 365 Status Update

08:49 PM - October 29, 2008 by stephensonmc

Hello Everyone,

In our communication to all of you before the launch of NBA LIVE 09, we said that NBA LIVE 365 would be “Made Fresh Daily.” This will certainly be the case, but I wanted to update everyone on our current status, because there are lots of questions being asked around the community concerning NBA LIVE 365 and when it will officially “turn on.” Last night the NBA season officially kicked off. Six teams played, and the NBA LIVE 365 information was received and is ready to be pushed in-game for all of you to enjoy, but in order to accurately reflect what’s happening in the real NBA in NBA LIVE 09, we need the data from EVERY NBA team once they finish their first game.

The last NBA teams will play their first game on Thursday (10/30). To accurately reflect what happened for every team’s first game in NBA LIVE 09, we’re going to turn on NBA LIVE 365 on Friday morning (10/31) for everyone that input a code on the insert inside the NBA LIVE 09 packaging. Once every team plays their first game, you will see your daily changes as promised.

We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but we really wanted to update the community on what our current status is. We thank you for your overwhelming excitement and continued interest for this feature, and we promise that you’ll be pleased with what’s reflected in-game based on the real NBA season. It’ll be a long, enjoyable journey for all of us to enjoy!

Thanks,

The NBA LIVE 09 Team

When something goes wrong, instead of people opening their minds that problems do occur with new technology. They are ready to pull out the We Hate EA Card! Some people were complaining before the game released, and some just rented and bought to point out all the flaws. Funny thing is, 2k's game is in worse condition, with poor online, the so called Living Rosters might have the correct rosters but the accessories, ratings etc are all jacked up. But you don't see their thread being as harsh as some of the kats in this thread. No one mentions how on 2k9 the CPU cheats to win every damn game. Or how you man has a invisible wall stopping him from running fast on a fastbreak. But seriously the hatred for Electronic Arts is getting old. At least the devs are here keeping us informed on the situation and are working to fix it. Just because they don't do it when you say so, or in 5 mins, doesn't mean it isn't going to be. Give them a break seriously. Week and few days in the season and you guys are murdering them with bull crap post of sarcasm and hatred. Chill out seriously we are all suppose to be adults here. Be more mature about the situation. If you want to complain do it in a professional manner instead of rambling post of none sense... -Peace. P.S. Your heart isn't going to stop beating and the world isn't going to end because your DNA isn't update in the morning. If it's bothering you that much that a game has a few bugs and issues coming out. You might want to stop playing video games all together.

Great, great post.

This should be history very soon. We're getting the DNA sorted out and updated, hopefully live in the morning for everyone.

thanks for the explanation bro.

BOTH GAMES have flaws,i don't support either one more than the other. I come here because I know that when it comes to Live, the devs listen to the complaints and rants and calmly explain whats going on. I could care less about people taking jabs at folks complaining,because folks complaining are getting results. I bet steph and co. get tired of reading it,but they never get rude or rowdy,they explain and move on. I hope ALL at EA sports take the steps like these guys do,because people are mad at EA for a reason,i believe these guys know it and they are here to get the people back on EA's side.
I may rant and rave,but i always see a response and result,so thank you to the devs,not the people who try and tell another human being what they can and can't say.

Alright! Thanks for the update!

# 249 BiggD @ 11/05/08 01:29 AM

This is why i was so hyped about DNA, with the answer in motown they should have a very different look...

# 250 23 @ 11/05/08 01:42 AM

Stickied temporarily

# 251 smokingun @ 11/05/08 04:24 AM

Well hey guys, im new here but thx for all the good info on DNA and I have been wondering what was up,

I did get a few updates early on.
Being an Orlando Magic employee after seeing DW with his left arm sleeve on opening night and then going home and playing with it was kinda cool. Just little stuff that makes it feel real.

Hopefully we get the issue resolved soon, we got game 4 on Thursday night. And i need to start my online league.

As well without getting flamed and seeing programmers checking on this forum, is there a fix for the block/jump delay..in my honest opinion ive owned every Live from Lakers/Celts.....and it is making me crazy. its almost impossible to guard a shooter because the delay make every movement seem like a shot so your forced to jump or be ownd on the perimeter..anyone else agree ? or am i lame?

Welcome to OS smokingun,

As far as the shot block/jump delay, you're definitely not alone as a lot of people have already stated their issues against it. I might be mistaken on this so don't take my word for it, but I think it might get resolved with the upcoming patch.

Until then, be sure to check out the Five Defensive Tips article/thread, it could help you as well.

Be sure to check out the player accessories thread man. As a Magic employee, I'm sure you'll be quite helpful in making sure that your team is accurate.

Guys,

Just to let you know, all teams and players now have DNA!

Thanks again for your patience guys. There are still some things to work out, but continue to leave your feedback because it's very valuable to us!

This is our story:

Seriously though, enjoy, and we'll be keeping it fresh.

Dude...

You guys are freakin' sick. If it hasn't been said enough, I definitely gotta let you guys know that (for most of us) your work is greatly appreciated. I just got my updates a few minutes ago and everything looks great... the rosters, the stats, the tendencies. I'm so hyped right now! Hopefully I'm gonna be able to get one good game in before the Sandman pays me a visit, but all in all great job guys.

I'll keep looking forward to 365 development throughout the season and can't wait for the patch!

Thanx!

Well said my man!

Though I haven't checked the update yet, I can't say enough for stephensonmc, iminurbase, and Beluba always keeping us in the loop. They don't have to be here, but they are. They don't have to listen to all our complaining (and some bashing), but they do. That just goes to show how much they care about us and their intent to improve on their product.

Great job guys. Looking forward to a great season of updates with Live.

I'm really interested to see how after a month or so the DNAs of Denver and Detroit shape up. Speaking of which, just to clear things up, when are expecting to have another DNA update? Daily, after _ games, after _ days?

I'm kinda interested in this as well... I just so happen to be a night owl if you guys haven't been able to notice from the times of my post, and it just so happens that a lot of the updates kick in in the late evenings/early mornings of the day (I think even steph has been pretty consistent in noting this in his post), which I think is pretty cool considering that when you wake up and start playing, everything is as it should be.

Now, whether or not this is going to remain this way through the whole season is going to be very interesting as you've mentioned. I would personally love to see the updates take place within hours of the completions of their real life counterparts, yet I also don't know how quickly this whole DNA stuff works. Maybe it is all a matter of "games" instead of "days"... then will we have to wait through a couple of games or will the updates come instantaneously or do we have to wait through the days in-between games??? This would be even more of a challenge when teams play back-to-back games...

# 258 southriver @ 11/05/08 08:59 AM

I am not sure if it is just my game, but almost all the rewind games have DNA. They also have the correct score in the BOX SCORE. What they DONT have is any of the player stats in the BOX SCORE. IF Koby scores 40 points two nights ago. Am i going to have to look that up on the computer or will the correct box score be eventually their?

# 259 bsubenvis @ 11/05/08 09:21 AM

So has the "manual" roster update happened? This is the update to the roster that will rid teams of "generic" players that were not in the game when it shipped.
