NBA Live 15 and Synergy Sports Promise To Deliver a Real-Time NBA Experience

[tgiordano]

This is nothing new they have had this updated seasons with synergy for years. They are just rehashing this mode and calling it new. If u play dynasty mode this stuff does not really matter.

I think companies should stop talking and start doing. Too many promises and missed marks.

This sounds fantastic, but it seems like both games have been promising frequent updates like this for years, and never seem to deliver as well as they claim. That being said, if they can get this right it's a huge plus for the game. 2k's server reliability has already proven to be in shambles yet again this year, and honestly they have never been remotely good about roster updates. We'll see about these "big moments" being available to play so quickly after a game ends. I find that very, very hard to believe.

Still though, while I'm enjoying 2k from a gameplay perspective, it's good to see EA striving for a better experience in the online areas. Sure would be nice to play a demo though, or even see a few minutes of gameplay, considering the game drops in 2 weeks. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pretty skeptical regarding the lack of these things so far.

Wasn't Live 14 suppose to update an hour after every game ?? I'm guessing that did not happen. How ofter did they actually update the rosters in Live 14 ?

This has been promised since live 10. I think the server stability is what will sell the game along with curiosity. I just kinda wish ea would show and not tell because they seem to be more tell and not show.

This is purely something that suits guys who play exhibition games v the CPU.

Well that's one of the problems. The game should have great tendencies out the box due to Synergy.

It's not as if there is no Synergy data in the game when we first get it because there is. The issue has been the game hasn't implemented Synergy well in these last few years.

I remember the PG issue back in Live 10. And the "mindless dump it in the post" thing last year.

So I wouldn't say it WILL be useless because it should help create accurate plays types from the beginning. The question is will EA finally implement it well this year.

Correct if I'm wrong but, what Synergy data would be loaded into the game when it ships? The season starts on the 28th, the same day as Live is released so there is no real data to use unless they use last year's which wouldn't be accurate since players/coaches have changed since then. Sorry for the questions, I'm just trying to understand this.

Remember this thread

Synergy never worked properly since implemented back in live 2009.

We went on a huge editing binge for Live 10 and even after adjusting some of the ratings helped, it still didn't stop bigs like Bynum and Shaq from taking elbow fadeaway jumpers.


It's just something that should've never been in the game in the first place.
All the data in the world isn't going to help if the game isn't programmed properly. Now that we've seen that real NBA offenses can be implemented in a game what does that say to this?
