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

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?

The defensive tips thread will help you, but also dont hold down the turbo button

now that the dna updates appear fixed, i still have two questions
1) will the settings reset each day the dna is updated? if so that's no good
2) if you start a franchise, how will this affect the daily dna updates? from what i understand, the dna will update fine, but the rosters will not. this does not make sense to me. can you confirm how this works.

DNA does not impact your dynasty. They are on two sepearate paths. Once you start your dynasty, it's your fantasy and not the real NBA.

Any idea on a date for this?

# 266 EZ Snappin @ 11/05/08 02:58 PM

First, I'm really psyched by this feature and how much it helps the teams play as they should. However, I've noticed some weird lineups in the updated rosters - Mike Miller as starting PG for the Timberwolves, Deng at PF and Thomas at SF for the Bulls, Bibby at SG and Johnson at PG for the Hawks, multiple position shifts on the Warriors, etc. Has anyone else noted these (relatively minor) goofs?

So u take whatever current DNA u last downloaded into dynasty and it evolves from there right?

it doesn't "evolve" per say, that's just your blueprint to how they'll play.

We're looking at the "evolve" part for next year.

Yes I noticed this also.. especially with the Grizzlies and Mike Miller starting at the Point.. Also with the heat D Wade will get subbed in at Center for some reason?? It's a little frustrating because I always use auto-subs, and you can't do anything about the CPU...

# 270 jnb5001 @ 11/05/08 04:47 PM

When i downloaded the DNA today everything appeared different, no more 14 ratings. I see what all the hype was about this game plays totally different now. The cop ai actually thinks. I saw multiple times when the comp drove and kicked it out to open teammates intead of taking bad jum[ers, more fastbreaks, and stars playing aggressive like they should. 99% of my issues disappeared in thus update and this is just the first "real" one. Good job EA. I would like LBJ to drive a little more to the hoop instead of jumpshots but im sure that will smooth out soon.

Oh I see so I would probably be better off waiting a while(3-4 weeks) to start my dynasty so I can get more in depth accurate DNA. Players roles would be more established and the DNA would be more "leveled off" right? Also I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this but when can we expect accurate rosters? The line ups are messed up as mentioned earlier(M/Miller at PG, Deng at PF, etc) I also noticed the 2 rookies on the Spurs are excactly identical(G.Hill,D.Farmer) Thanks for keeping us updated with accurate info, Live is a great game.

well the ps3 has had the ea nhl patch for over a week now, correct? i bet the ps3 live will get patched within a day or two (if above is true). we will see a 360 update in prob 2 weeks.. i hope its earlier, but dang MS and their process lol..

cant wait to see the patch though...

Hey everyone,

We wanted to check back to let you know that not only are we extremely appreciative of the patience and excitement you all showed while we were working through our initial issues with NBA LIVE 365, but we also wanted to point out some really cool things to look at now that everything has been updated.

For starters, you’ll notice that almost every player and team is updated with new DNA. I’d like to point out some of the top rookies like Mayo, Love, Rose and Beasley. Take a look at their DNA. It’s pretty cool to see the first DNA data on new players that haven’t played in the NBA before. You can’t compare it off of last year. It’s like seeing the DNA mapping of a child established. What you’re seeing now may be the foundation for how these young superstars may play for the rest of their career. Take a look at the Rockets DNA with Artest, or Philadelphia’s DNA with Brand. It’s not there yet, but once they play some games, Detroit and Denver should look pretty different too

.

If you’re seeing the numbers “14” and “15” for players with the latest update, it’s because they haven’t played yet. Once they do, you’ll see their DNA.

This is a process guys, and we thank you for your patience. We knew that once the now infamous “kinks” were worked out, you guys would be pleased with what you’re seeing. Please continue to give us feedback as we move forward. Things may move slowly at the beginning, but we’re working out a rhythm here that will set us up for success! Rest assured though, your game will be “Made Fresh Daily!”

Thanks,
The NBA LIVE Dev Team

Not true at all.

# 275 marc68 @ 11/05/08 07:05 PM

I dont know if its just me, but after the DNA superstar difficulty is wicked.

I played the Hornets as the Pacers and GOT SHELLACKED!!! I couldnt make a shot....and they couldnt miss!!

# 276 Anaxamander @ 11/05/08 07:29 PM

Does the DNA update affect playcalling?

# 277 jewelz1132 @ 11/05/08 07:49 PM

Yeah...if Sony has it it shouldnt be too long & the 360 will get it a bit after (that's what usually happens).

Anyways....Steph (please note that Im not asking for an answer now). WHEN the patch is released will you be going over exactly what it fixed ??

It changes the plays that each team runs for their stars. So for example if Ray Allen has high off-ball screen DNA, the Celtics will run the plays that let him come of screens.

It also changes the quick plays when you first press LB in game.
