NBA Live 365 Status Update

07:49 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

Not with the Spurs unfortunally unless Manu turns on God Mode and goes off for 40ppg. Tony and Manu will be coming back around the same time so anything is possible.

Not trying to make a big deal out of this, but actually this was the case.

After downloading the DNA Update, tried to play Rockets-Blazers exhibition game, Battier was in starting line-up on the starting line-up screen.

Had to go back to My NBA - Kings Rosters - and trade Artest away from the Kings for Bobby Jackson (still on the Rockets) - in order to get these two players on their rightful teams.

This should be fixed now. I just played against the Rockets with Artest.

When will hot and cold streaks start to take effect?

It's just like a scoring average; if you drop 50 one night your season average will change. DNA works the same way. What you see every day is the current 'average' of all the games that player has played. The 10 game piece is for hot/cold streaks. Synergy needs to look at the recent history of a player to decide what their current streak is.

At the top is a quote from an NBA Live Develpoer. So, it looks like the streaks will start to take effect after ten games have passed for the teams.

Thanks for the follow-up Steph. The latest update cleared it up.

# 348 stopper654 @ 11/11/08 05:47 PM

when is the patch comin out ?????????

# 349 russ99 @ 11/11/08 08:17 PM

I have to say even though this feature has had some bumps in the road, it's really hitting its stride. Today's update fixed a lot of things, and the current and replay games are awesome.

I only wish the Bulls would sign another guard, but there's nothing EA can do about that!

# 350 Fiddy @ 11/11/08 08:46 PM

why am i not seeing rewind games? when i use the rb button in team select after i download the dna update for the day (for Cavs) i see games from april of 2008.. nothing from this year.

what am i doing wrong?

# 351 bigeastbumrush @ 11/11/08 09:14 PM

Just wanted to say to stephenson, beluba and the producers/devs, you guys released a gem of a game IMHO. The game is far from perfect, but you guys are headed in the right direction and I appreciate you all taking the time to comunicate with everyone here at OS.

Great job.

Rewind games exist on the server, so they are separate from the daily DNA updates. As long as you are connected (and have the 365 code), it should say 'loading' when you are in select teams. Wait for it to download the list of games, then you should be able to toggle and select one to play.

# 353 bigdfan76 @ 11/12/08 04:37 AM

So I'm a little frustrated, and correct me if I'm wrong. I'll start by saying this. DNA updates are of no use in dynasty except for the initial one u take into your dynasty when u start, right? So now if I want to start a dynasty I'm stuck with 14-15s on players that have not played yet (Ginobili,D.Williams, etc) So for excample if I take my team the Spurs, Ginobili will be "stuck at 14-15s. I can never fix this and my dynasty will be riddled with these unused DNA settings on alot of players. This means when I play or sim they will be completely incorrect in the way they play. And if I reset to the default rosters to get the generic starting DNA I lose all the transactions(Spurs signing Finley, the Iverson trade, etc) So I would have to take the 365 update and manually edit ALL the players DNA that have not played yet to get at least some kind of "real" DNA settings for these players, and there seems to be alot of them. Or I manually re-do all the transactions and use the generic DNA. I am at a good stopping point in Madden and NCAA football and I was hoping to start my NBA live dynasty soon, but at this rate I can't start till well halfway through the season. Am I missing something or is this a lose, lose, lose, lose situation. I guess DNA updates are great for online play but I don't play online. I buy all my EA games for the franchise/dynasty part of it. So I feel a little um... jaded right now. Once again any advice or knowledge to a solution, or even a time frame would be appreciated. Thanks

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.

They got Harrington back on Golden State today - by dropping Corey Maggette into the Free Agent pool.

I played a guy online yesterday and he used the Spurs...but Tony Parker was his starting pg ???

Doesn't 365 remove him and put him on the IR ?? and the Spurs have already playe games without Tony Parker so shouldn't this have had registered yet ??

I'd say the easiest thing is to edit the DNA of the players who matter who have no DNA yet (Manu for example), and take that roster into your Dynasty. There shouldn't really be that many players.

It's a catch 22... you want the updated rosters and DNA, with a mix of old DNA for guys that haven't played. I think overall the options and tools you have this year are far beyond previous years.

The update came around midnight... last night was the Spurs first game with TP out, so if you look now he is gone.
