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

Ok so just to clarify, the DNA you take into your Dynasty will be that way the life of your dynasty? So the hot and cold spots of the of say, Iverson, will not change? I am just confused on that point.

Anyway, this is the most fun i have had playing any basketball game since ummmmm EVER.

George Hill is a generic player created by NBA LIVE 365. He'll be added in the manual roster update we do. If he wasn't a generic player, his hair is baked in the head and there's nothing we can do on our side to fix it until next season. (not ideal I know, but I'm working to try and make that process more flexible)

I suppose Synergy and EA need time to work out the kinks.

Yep,

It looks like Rewind games are coming in TWO days after the game.

We're working to get them loaded up the day after though and best case, hours after.

when is da patch comin out

# 326 stephensonmc @ 11/08/08 02:43 PM

Hey guys,

For those who are wondering why Billups and Iverson have 14s and 15s for their DNA, the reason is because the real-life coaches in the NBA ask Synergy Sports Technology to reset that player's DNA after they're traded because it makes sense as a players are used differently by new coaches and in new roles.

# 327 Pared @ 11/08/08 04:23 PM

Synergy works for the NBA and EA is piggybacking on top of it. If Synergy is providing a service that the NBA wants reset for their own records, that's what you'll get in the game.

Exactly... I didn't think it was that hard to understand. But alas some people feel the NEED to try to find something to complain about.

This is one thing that makes me want live. I really wish 2k had this. Too bad I don't have the cash for both.

# 330 stopper654 @ 11/08/08 06:06 PM

(Chairman steps in) Relax everybody, I can translate this: Does anyone know when the patch is coming out?

Excellent slang stopper, you sounded authentically "street" just now.

I replayed the Wolves/Spurs game from the other night and it was kind of dead on.
I went into Be A Pro mode and used Parker the whole game. Game went to OT and the Spurs won. TP ended up with......

54 points.

I'm playing on 8 minute quarters and OT was 5 minutes, but in those 5 minutes in OT, both teams scored more points than any other quarter in regulation.

# 334 Sluggo @ 11/10/08 12:13 AM

Hold up....

So I downloaded the 365 update today and viewed the changes. I looked at the Spurs and....Robert Horry is listed on the Spurs. Did I miss something?????

Weird.

I'll take a look.

# 336 EZ Snappin @ 11/10/08 12:58 PM

Well, they have Monta Ellis back on Golden State in the latest 365 update, but now Al Harrington is in the free agent pool. And, yet again, a bunch of players are in the wrong slots - I noticed Bibby and Johnson switched on the Hawks, for example. I know they are getting the info straight from synergy, but a little oversight on how it gets applied would be appreciated. I hope these problems get ironed out, because I'm loving how the game plays and how the players act like they should.

I'm not sure where you are seeing this, but this isn't the case currently. You might be referring to the jersey on the jersey select screen for sac, which has Ron's 93 jersey. He isn't on the roster though.

Missing players, players on wrong teams, duplicate players, incorrect positions and starting lineups, players playing out of position.....c'mon man! They're going backwards instep of taking steps in the right direction. Let me guess....they're still trying to iron out all the "kinks." I know, I know.

Agreed. I don't think it takes that much effort / time to catch these things. Anybody that's "into" the NBA would notice these things on the first run-through.

I can't see it taking more than an hour for somebody with game knowledge to check the rosters just before sending out an update to make sure these anamolies don't happen.

Not a rant/whine, just food for thought.

# 340 Sluggo @ 11/10/08 08:08 PM

ha

Horry is still there today

maybe someone knows something we don't?
