And this is what I mean... Before the game dropped the EA Devs were answering questions left and right, creating new posts to promote the game left and right... Now all of a sudden they are no where to be found?? they come on the board read this stuff and don't say a word about anything.. At least give us a "we are working on it guys"... LOL..
Pre release there were a lot of questions with a lot of answers...
Post release there are a lot of questions with no answers...
C'Mon Son... When we gonna get some answers Son...
And that is what I do not respect. Dont get missing and leave us hanging when things go bad but when you are hyping your products for sales you are easily found. This is not a jab at the Live team becuz I've seen it in other games as well.
I'm with you Court_vision.... IMO it should be a priority for the devs to push for a patch to fix the issues the first patch caused. If it were me, my pride would compel me to be proactive on the issue.
And I honestly hope that the 'big-wigs' at EA aren't holding them hostage on a second patch. That just wouldn't be fair to the devs or to consumers.
I'm just hoping the PS3 patch doesn't have those same issues.
I actually went this route also and to no avail. For some reason this game will not run on my system. The disk is scratchless it looks brand new. I'm just gonna play the other game, but continue to see how you guys are fairing which I hope all turns out well becuase the game is pretty darn good. To bad I won't get to enjoy but I'll get to at least see how everyone's season is going. Thanks for the advice. Peace!!!!
Well i really have no idea about xbox 360 system but, i've had pretty much the same problem with the other game on PC, the game just get frozen after the first quarter nothing can be done; it was a F messed up registry problem, all i did was to change directories of the registry, i don't know if this can be helpful or not.

I guess you completely miss that fact that there has been a dev here every single day mostly dealing with the dynamic season rosters issues
Yeah I've tried every trick in the book it's a no-go. I'm done with this game. Mind is made up 2K10 for me. Biggest reason for the change is it doesn't freeze on me every game. You fellows enjoy it. Peace!!!!
I haven't even bought live10 yet,Ive had problems with the other game,but not as many as ppl r saying there is...I'm def picking up live10 eventually,but this sounds like I'm better served to wait n pick it up later this yr.

My advice would be for you to wait a few weeks and see if some of the bugs can get worked out. If that happens then I say go for it, but as of now there are some game-killing bugs.
Are they waiting for "permission" to do a second patch?
I mean, it takes weeks to build one...then weeks to get MS / SONY to release it...
So, if they haven't even got "permission"...if they are still "Waiting", then the ETA for a second patch will be about 2 months.
Surely they can't be sitting there waiting for some CEO in a suit to say it's "okay" to fix up a badly messed up product?
I just don't get the whole software industry thing...I can't think of ANY other type of business where you could release a faulty product and just stay silent while your consumers are left in the dark about whether you'll even bother to fix the problems.
Imagine if I took my car in to be fixed, under warranty. If i rang the car yard and the guy there said "maybe we will fix it...check our website in the next 6 weeks."
Surely these companies owe it to the guys who've paid $$ for their products to not leave them in the dark?
Uhh... yeah, so are you still in the dark?
Some of you guys need to just take a deep breath and relax. We're the ones dealing with the OT bug, not you guys!
Like I said, when they know, you'll know.
As for your "no other industry comment?" There are TONS of technological companies that turn a blind eye when there are issues: Apple, MS, HP, Dell... I could go on for ages.
All of them computer industry stuff...I am not a computer guy, but it doesn't happen in the 'real world' my friend!
Imagine walking into a bar...buying a beer that had a crap in it...and saying to the bar tender "could you fix this and get me a new beer?"...
And he said "i don't know...maybe...check back in a couple of hours".
IMO the software industry gets off light as they don't have to face people in person. That's a whole different thread though.
Good news re the patch.
Sorry to derail, but I was a programmer for a couple years, and I completely get your view that we get off easy. I've had to visit client sites to roll out our software and it wasn't always an easy experience, as there's bound to be issues and I'm going to get the flack for it as I should.
Not saying that other jobs aren't hard, but like anyone not in the know I don't think people realize how hard it is to release a bug free software product. Especially with sports games where it's a 1-year turnaround whereas other genres can get away with more dev time. Add to the fact that alot of stuff was probably rewritten for Live 10 from Live 09.
I've worked 70+ hour weeks getting software ready, finding obscure bugs, releasing packages to fix bugs, etc... And true we don't face clients, but we sure hear it from them with requests and how much we suck at our jobs. We never hear thanks, just we should've picked it up the first time. Well, staring at 30,000 lines of code and something's bound to be missed sorry to say. So when I see stuff like devs get off easy and they don't care about their consumers and whatnot, sorry but it kind've pisses me off.
Fair comments. It's an industry that pays well though...and I dare say you get less verbal assaults than the girl getting abused for bringing the wrong coffee or the cold meal (neither being her fault)...or the bus driver who cops crap all day for horrible wages...etc etc...so I won't be crying any tears for you fellas.
It's a whole other thread though.
Fair enough, not expecting your tears, but just took exception to us "getting off easy". For software with million of dollars of sales on the line, we'll hear it if we fail. Sorry if I got a bit defensive.
I don't know if this was already answered but did you 360 guys have to re-start your dynasties for the patch to take affect? Or did it just work fine with what you had already saved?

Patch changes carry over to Dynasty mode.
I just lost to the SUns in Ot, in Dynamic season...it was a heck of a game...lots of good stuff going on.

I've read a lot of the threads on this board but seldom posted. By in large, I disagree with 99% of them. Besides that, very few of the comments stick to the purpose of a given thread. You have to read page after useless page to actually find a constructive comment.
My advice would be to play both games and form your own opinion. Also, consider that people who like the game will be generally less inclined to post at length whereas complainers like to hear themselves talk.
This is the best basketball game I've ever played, maybe the best sports game I've ever played. The control is unbelievable. The improvements are unbelievable. Its by no means perfect, but there's realistically very little that could make the gameplay better.
