No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

[mlp111]

This is a major disappointment... however not truely shocked. must be a contract thing with snergy or something... that was a pretty deal for me being that i dont play online or plan on playing live run or pro am. Game-play better makeup for this or it will be a black friday grab for me instead of my preorder that i have

I think the Live programmers were trying to be so innovative that they ended up being a few steps behind, the whole Synergy thing sounded good on paper, just hasn't worked out and now Live is the only sports game with no form of roster control or player editing. I wont say that they didn't have more important things to do before roster editing but I think people are more so mad about it being taken out in the first place, and now 3 years later still hasn't made its appearance back into the game.

Only reason why I'm concerned is the fact that everyone else is concerned.. Live has a chance to make a splash and win back users. As long as gameplay is balanced I'm all in for Live.. But I play online a lot, I want so many people playing live so I don't have to wait forever to find someone to play against. First blow against Live this year. Almost everything else was positive

From what I remember seeing on OS last year, Synergy didn't provide prompt updates, there in lies your problem.

This is a good point. If the game plays well on the court and there are frequent updates to reflect roster movements and play progression/regression then I think most people can deal with the omission, however if roster updates are inconsistent then this could be a big miss.

Stuff like this is the reason why I dont even consider buying Live at this point. Thats sucks because I actually like alot of things about how Live played on court. Its the off court stuff that keeps it from being a contender for my money.

I've said in every Live thread that I've posted in, that I have no interest in buying this game this year.

But WOW, I feel so bad for you guys that were riding that hype train man. This really sucks. They were absolutely rolling, to the point where I was telling someone yesterday that this game may be back to respectability in 17.

NO editing? That's something that's been in these games for years. It's even a staple of the sports genre, as we're seeing from you guys replies here.

The only word I can think of is bogus. Sorry guys.

That's pretty much a deal-breaker for me. Am still going to try Live Run, but customization is half the battle IMO.

This is a big downer for me. I am glad we can choose two basketball games, instead of one. Imagine if EA had exclusive license over NBA games (like NFL, Madden)? I am glad to see the improvements and that's noted by 2K giving them competition. Roster and player editing is a no-brainer.

Scale tips in the "other" basketball games favor this season. NBA Live is on track 17 should be dope!
