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

Hey guys, I'm also on board with changing the IR lock back . . . It's silly to see T-Mac and Ron Ron blow me up last night for 35 points between them when Artest was supposed to be hurt. Same deal for Monta Ellis and the others. I know it is semi-rare, but it takes away from the "Made Fresh Daily" Live 365.

But while waiting they could at least enjoy playing quick games with made fresh daily rosters. Both options arent fair to either party, but the option to keep it how it was is more reasonable because now guys who arent supposed to be playing are playing, and it defeats the whole purpose of Live 365. Rosters made fresh Daily.

I think it wasnt well thought out when the game was made. The guys here asked Steph to disable because I dont think they could get those injured players off of IR because 365 updates dont apply to franchise.

It hasnt bothered me one way or another because i havent started a franchise yet but I see the dilemma

Its not about the franchsie mode.

If you play the rockets right now Tmac and Artest play and do dmaage... they are hurt in real life.

Thats one of the draws to Made fresh Daily.

I hear you. I was just telling you guys why they did that. I wasnt one of those asking for them to change anything.

# 485 Behindshadows @ 01/15/09 01:56 PM

I don't want it changed, it makes my Dynasty freeze...leave it like it is, without the little AR target on it.

# 486 stephensonmc @ 01/16/09 05:01 PM

Hey guys, we're going to turn the lock back on next week. I'd suggest that if you want to start your dynasty, now would be the time to start it.

I agree with this move. It was taking away from the whole 365 update/made fresh daily concept. Jose Calderon is out. So when I go online I dont want to be able to use him at all....we shouldnt be able to select him, but now is he in the starting line up...no. But I can just scroll down and put him back him. I like it better back at the beginning of the season when an injured player was faded out and could not be selected.

Im glad it is being changed back.

Great news Steph!

Or if Kobe is out a day with a sore thumb, he's back in a day. Not out for the rest of his career in your game

Yes, this will for sure be addressed in 10.

Thanks marcus ...

# 493 gobucks @ 01/17/09 01:32 PM

There is a real simple solution to this this year..release a lock and unlocked version simple as that or patch it for a user option.

# 494 mrclutch @ 01/19/09 03:58 AM

NOOOOOOO!!!

Don't do this. please.

How does it make sense that if I don't start a dynasty right away that certain player are going to be injured forever. Most of the NBA LIVE gamers don't even know about this site(their lose) and will have no idea what is going on.

Stick to DNA updates. You don't have to be the IR police.

Here's a thought. Since the rules change that allows teams to keep 15 guys up and deactive how many ever they need to to get to the 12 active for a particular game most of the player you folks put on "IR" aren't really on the IR.

Come on Developer team. Make the right call.

# 495 KG#5beantown @ 01/19/09 05:17 AM

it is the right call man!

no disrespect...I understand your situ...but to come up with the live 365...it cannot be that guys like tmac are killing you off the bench in a normal game...start your dynasty now...whats the problem with it?

everyone will have different opinions with it but as steph told us the majority counts...and the majority will have it locked again...it's better because it's real and it comes up with the 365 feature...

# 496 KGIronMan @ 01/19/09 09:20 AM

Hey guys this is absolutely the right call .. . I HATE getting killed by TMac or Artest off the bench or, as I did two nights ago be killed by Calderon off the bench.

In light of there not being the option to change it, I'd rather have the lineups correct, even if there are more than three guys injured/on IR.

Thanks for listening to us devs!

Hmmm... So you got killed by Calderon off the bench. Sounds like you got other issues than whose on the IR.

I'll be glad to give you some defense tips.

I think their should be a way for fans of the Jazz or Wizards to get their money back since their whole team will be injured.

Leave the IR off please.

Pretty please

# 498 KG#5beantown @ 01/19/09 10:02 AM

again no disrespect man,

but as a jazz or wizards fan...I agree that the situ right now is not pretty good...but man you should like the rest of your team too AS A FAN!

It's looking like they are a little further behind than usual on rewind games.
