NBA Live 09 Dynamic DNA Intro Video

[deebo2246]

If we all know by now it should be a wait and see approach when it comes to EA and their sports titles. I know everyone wants Live to return to the glory years of '96 and are anxiously anticipating that to happen. Don't get me wrong DNA is a great feature if implemented the correct way, but like a job EA's performance review is borderline cause for firing by the videogame community.

You will have all of last season's data on the disc when it ships. So players will play to their tendencies last year.

Obviously, their style of play may change. That's why it gets updated. Like the year before Kobe passed a lot less than he did last year. So last year you would have played with greedy Kobe in your association until Synergy collected info. on Kobe's play from last year and how it changed.

It does effect gameplay... and the gameplay is much better this year as well.

Good to see they're showing PS3 footage (I would assume?). The features menu was obviously PS3 footage, so I'm going to assume that EA wouldn't show 360 gameplay footage and try to make it seem like it was PS3 given the features menus. If that is the case, the PS3 version will be fully identical to the 360 version and I am glad to see that. The feature looks very interesting and the gameplay looked MUCH improved from last year. Thumbs up EA.

I hope you're right, but for me seeing is believing

Can't argue with that.

What I find funny about DNA feature for me is, this game comes out what about a month before release? and most times the wow factor has completely worn off by that time.

great feature nonetheless.
