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

???? My bad. I thought the Spurs already played with out Tony Parker. I knew they had to play a game for it to register.

Sidenote: How can you tell in Live 09 when a manual update has been done compared to a 365 update ??

hmmm it says loading, i dont see a list after. im connected to the server and have the code. hmm lemme did around a bit more and see if its something i did.

Sometimes loading takes a while...

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.
Agreed. I think that's what I'll do. I just can't see myself waiting a month to start a dynasty. The "old" DNA should be close enough to reality. It's better than 14s and 15s. And really only the stars should matter in this case. I see D.Williams has 14s-15s but he's healthy so I assume as soon as the Jazz play I'll have his DNA.

So I just got the game yesterday and uploaded the DNA, so if I start my franchise, Parker and all of those guys are going to be injuried and not avaiable?

Dynasty removes the injuries, but they will be on the IR. The best bet is to take the current 365 roster, move the injured parker (and anyone else injured) to the starting lineups, then start the Dynasty. The players will then be uninjured in their correct spots.

Indefinitely.

By the way _ experimented with this and simmed a season (without moving star players off IR)....some players (like Marbury and Tony parker) were activated from the IR and played significant minutes/started for their teams. Some players (like Oden, and Deron Williams) never came off the IR the whole year. So it's hit or miss. Definitely worth the time to move star player OFF the IR before your Dynasty begins.

Steph,

Has the manual roster update gone live yet today ??

Nevermind...Steph answered this in another thread. Normally manualy roster updates are released late Thursday nights.
 
# 372 ronnyballgame @ 11/13/08 06:51 PM
Thanks so much, going to start dynasty tomorrow!

Sorry guys, we are on this now.

Dear EA

Can you guys please make this correction about the personal information of an Australian basketball player, Jason Smith?
His date of birth is wrong obviously, in-game it says he was born in 1950s
One more thing, even though his height is correctly listed as 193cm in the game menu, during gameplay his in-game character is as tall as someone like Andrew Bogut, who is a 7 footer.

As a hardcore basketball fan, I am very disappointed by the fact that this issue has not been resolved by now, even about a month after its releasing date.

Come on guys, please make the correction as soon as possible and show some love for EA sports customers down under!!
Cheers.

P.S Any possibilities that New Zealand national basketball team will be added via patch available as downloadable contents on XBOX Live like Oklahoma City uniform & court patch???

I'm confused with this as well.

I can have the Lakers and Celtics selected but the latest Rewind game is from June of 2008.

There is no option for their game in the 2008/2009 season.

Do I just go to the select team screen and wait?

I'm wondering the same thing...just popped this in for the first time in a while due to other games and was gonna play last night's Pistons/Suns game, but it's not an option in Rewind. Am I missing something?
 
# 380 CMH @ 11/18/08 01:08 PM
Well, I'm an idiot because the Lakers haven't played the Celtics this season, but the point still stands.

I don't see any of the games from this season on NBA Rewind.

edit: And, yes, I've waited. I waited a pretty long time in my opinion. 10 minutes is long enough for something like this to load. Any longer and you're just hoping people have that kind of patience to use this feature.
