Yup, will be posting quite frequently again hopefully, really got out of touch with the "internet world" a few months back when I started working.

Anyway, I'm def excited for this game! Saw a lot of good things in the single screenshot of LBJ (lighting, arena, crowd, bench improvements). Still too early to tell though, but I have very high hopes for this title.

I'm hoping the we could have something similar for Live 10, although, I guess with the team DNA that should take care of it...? I dunno...and what about defensive schemes/philosophies of coaches also? Do we have defensive DNA? That being said, thanks again for the blog!

Interesting. I'd be really interested to know where they get their coaching data....

I think it's obvious to you guys where we get ours. We have some stuff to show you for sure, but think about where each game is getting their data while we discuss this stuff.

Steph, your still going to have the ability to manually go in and change some things like last year right ??

For example: The whole Jose Calderon dunking thing when 09 first came out & you had to manually go in and change 2 of his ratings to correct the issue.

Werd.

Either way, I don't think it matters that much what the "scale" is since the player differences are relative to each other anyway. But I do think lowering the global scales overall will give a more natural feel. The superstars will still be better consistently but should feel a little more human.

If that's an issue this year, I should be fired.

Not sure at all, but there are definitely teams that like to go at a faster pace than others.... we missed out on that last year
