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

There is the proof... Hopefully they will hurry up and turn it back on...

you're right raw...

than we can play against utah or houston like they are...

# 523 stephensonmc @ 01/23/09 01:21 PM

It should be turned on today when you guys get on to play again.

# 524 Mintsa @ 01/23/09 01:32 PM

Thanks for clearing that up Steph.

It had to be turned back on.

# 525 GSW @ 01/23/09 01:48 PM

Hooray Beer! thanks Marcus..

Side note:

I found if you turned down everyones on ball defense rating by 10-15 it decreases the "suction" feel of the riding animation.

Thanks for that man... muy importante

# 527 GSW @ 01/23/09 07:20 PM

to add on to this in fact you can actually turn this down quite a bit, i havent found that point where you can trigger the animation without them riding you so hard, but thats the point where all "elite" on ball defenders shoudl be, everyone else should be lower then that.

way too much riding... Mike Redd shouldnt just be able to ride kobe off his path like he is able to in the game

# 528 23 @ 01/23/09 07:41 PM

it hampers some fastbreak moments. I've spoken to beluba about this once.

Im going to give it a shot tonight

# 530 23 @ 01/23/09 07:45 PM

bwa ha ha

I got a game in with Agent Zero the other day before you guys locked the injured players.

Guess I showed y'all.

Wonder if you could get me the percentage of games played with the Wizards and Jazz on line? I would guess almost none since almost their whole rosters are injured.

"Made Fresh Daily" Great for Lakers fans.

It works both ways man.......

If Kobe or LeBron were to go down for an extended period of time I would want that reflected online as well.

I real Jazz or Wizard fan will use there team.....I've used the Raptors the past month with no Jose Calderon at point, even though I could've selected him. (But I chose to use Will Soloman or Roko Ukic at point).

That's how it should be. That's what "made fresh daily" is all about.

If Kobe/LeBron goes down for a month they should'nt be available online for that month.

Injuries are part of sports.

And now with "365 rosters" we can have this on a day to day basis which is amazing.

I agree it is amazing. The level of connection between the real NBA and the videogame just increased a ton with 365 and DNA.

Too bad I'm gonna have to start my Dynasty with default rosters though. I've been away from the forums for awhile and I missed the window of opportunity to start a Dynasty, when the IR locks were off.

Thank You sir

I did edit all teams in my dynasty and it did make a difference. It didnt take away the animation or the fact that your man and the CPU can ride you but it does make it feel a bit looser control wise and it makes a difference.

Im enjoying the dynasty much more than just picking random games to play. Not sure if it feels smoother or what but I also want to agree with the other guys here that DNA is totally keeping the game fresh

# 536 bkrich83 @ 01/24/09 11:05 PM

Ok, I haven't loaded downloaded the lastest 365 rosters, but I did tonight, and now I have no access to any Rewind games at all.

Anyone else notice this?

# 537 KG#5beantown @ 01/25/09 09:51 AM

Thanks steph for bringing back the locked version!

# 538 GSW @ 01/26/09 01:18 AM

Had a couple of beautiful games this past weekend; the Nets in Memphis, competitive until about 3 minutes left in the third when the Grizz just tanked. I suppose that's kinda how they play for real, but what I loved about it was that they just didn't go cold, they did it through turnovers and lack of defensive intensity.

We are talking "step on the line", Illegal defense, botched passes, which lead to breaks for NJ. I like the fact that you can win or lose games with defense and intangibles and not some perceived lid on the rim. Note to the Live 09 league - Mayo is a beast. He was beating me off the dribble, knocking down jumpers and when the D collapsed on him he found the open man. One of the things I figured out this past weekend is to anticipate the play the CPU is running and deny the crucial pass that develops the play (Hey, I'm kinda slow at these things...)

Anyway, can't have good without the bad. You got these DNA updates but the rotations and sub patterns are atrocious. This is what I believe cost me a game I was playing, Magic Vs Lakers this game was a great game, Kobe was cold and really was a non factor most of the game and I was up by 12 going in to the fourth. Then Fisher just went berserk, he ended up with 20 and was 4-7 from behind the arc. I don't mind the loss, in fact, as I mentioned earlier I like how you can lose games even when you're scoring well. We didn't step on there necks to start the 4th qtr, and that 8-0 run they got to start the 4th let them right back in. Here is the problem though:

5:36 left in the fourth, I'm down 88-84 and this is the line-up I got on the floor thanks to Auto Sub On

PG Gorcat (He's 6'11" and listed as a PF???)
SG Courtney Lee
SF Brian Cook
PF Tony Batie
C Adonal Foyle

No freakin wonder I lost. with this group on the floor for most of the 4th qtr I ended up being out scored 35-14, and lost by 11. Now I know what you're gonna say; "Make your own subs and stop complaining" but that doesn't address my issue. The issue is if you have DNA updates that affect ratings and tendencies downloaded daily, how can you not get the rotations right. That game I played ORL vs. LAL Lewis only played 22 min and I play with 11 min qtrs! According to NBA.com he averages 36.9 minutes per game.

Memo to the developers;

Let's get the minutes per game right, along with the proper rotations. This should be able to be done through the Live 365 DNA updates. If not, then please explain.

Thank You

MrMars
