I guarantee that if they do release gameplay footage and it plays well you'll all be back on the hype train. Let's see what they have as a game first. I haven't played live since it came back out, I'm not a fanboy so don't think of if that way. But Mr price and wtf have been very patient with us and answered more questions than the competition has at this point. I'm still holding out for gameplay.

It's not a dealbreaker for me, I will still be buying the game day one because I believe they have made a good deal of improvements & advancements.

But I can't be mad at anyone whom this is a dealbreaker for. Customization is a very big thing for sports gamers and EA has once again underestimated its importance.

I don't know if EA ever mentioned anything about their mode usage rates in NBA Live 15, but in NBA 2K15's case, My Player has actually been their most-played mode by quite a bit for a few years now. That's why Visual Concepts has been going all out and completely rewriting their My Player story every year, and it's why they continue to spend big bucks on developing features like face-scanning and signing high-priced people like Spike Lee to work on the mode.

It's true that most people on OS still just want to play offline franchise with normal NBA teams (we've run tons of polls over the years, and those results haven't changed yet). But you have to remember that OS represents only a small percentage of the people who play sports games. Most of the people playing basketball games just want to see a virtual version of themselves putting up a triple double every night for their favorite NBA team.

Thanks for the update. The game went from being a probable purchase to an easy NO.

While there's no question MyPlayer\ Be a Pro modes are the dominant modes these days...



I just don't if THAT many of the 'create yourself, put your self on your favorite team' 'mix up the rosters, pit them against each other' etc etc guys are gone to warrant taking away that option..

I think it's a generational thing. I just got into my player since Next Gen, and I have friends, my age, that don't touch it, but my nephew's (youngins), it's the only mode they play!

It reflects a generation of narcissistic, vain, and self-absorbed people in our society I'm kidding. I'd rather play the games as my favorite teams & players and have them look & play like they do in real life. I play the MyPlayer stuff for a month or two. But it sucks when you're done playing and realize you aren't the 6'4" gazelle that you created in a virtual world, lol. (Although I actually create myPlayer's using my actual height/weight.)

Could be right.

My younger nephews still create themselves, max themselves out and put themselves on the Cavs, lol. I just sit back like "how is this fun?" Haha
