Pretty good article from what I read and for once which I doubt will happen there's no need to turn the thread into a garbage thread because you don't like the game. This is primarily for anyone that is getting the game and I'm sure they have already heard and read enough negative stuff about the game. But I'm sure it will get flooded by posters who don't like the game taking away anything posistive that some of us are looking forward to in the game.

In this interview, the producer doesn't know if a demo will be put up on the marketplace, but in that On the Spot segment, it was almost guaranteed. Hmm . . . guess they are having second thoughts. No matter how Live turns out, I'd still like a demo.

I agree they seem to be kinda nervous or something about releasing a demo. But I've seen and read enough good things about the game being improved sine those earlier videos. I plan on getting both games just like last year because Live 06 was good a change of pace game for me.

What about the interview made you decide to wait til' next year If I might ask?


One of the things I don't like:

With the vast array of signature shooting styles in the game, will we be able to assign a specific style to created players or will they be automatically assigned a generic or random form?

Unfortunately you won't be able to do this. It's something we planned on doing early on, but due to the nature of the project with the AI re-write, Dynasty Mode, All-Star Weekend and ESPN integration some things had to get scaled back. We will look at including this in next year's version of Create Player.
For this year, when you create a player we will randomly assign shots based on positions, so if you are a Point Guard you'll end up with a Point Guard's shot - Nash, Marbury, Arenas, Bibby, etc. If you're a Shooting Guard you might end up shooting like Ray Allen, AI, Kobe or Pierce. Big guys will shoot like Pau, Jermaine O'Neal, Camby, Brand, etc. The one shot we didn't include as a random choice though is Shawn Marion's since it is too unique to give to someone else.

I don't like the randomness in sig shots appearing in created players. For rookies in dynasty mode I don't mind though. I'd like to be able to assign my CAP whatever style/shot I want. Not only that, but the "we will look at including this in next year's version" didn't sit well with me.

On the other hand, one thing I am liking the sound of:

n terms of Online features, we do have an exciting addition this year; the Multiplayer Co-Op game mode. This allows up to 4 users on a console to play online against another team of up to 4 users on a distant machine. This feature is supported by a system of Leaderboards for our most competitive groups.

I am loving that We were talking about something like that in another post, I am gonna have to find some players and check that out.

Re: NBA Live 07 interview

70+ ratings.....

I'll waite to see how players respond and react first. I wonder it one of those ratings include off the court behavior....now that would be sick!

Oh well it's basically the same stuff written every week.

Nothing new here.

Re: NBA Live 07 interview

Good interview, everything sounds well but...it is all just talk. I need to play the game before I buy it. I am hoping for a demo sometime this month. It doesn't have to be before the 25th (because it seems like EA is afraid of that) but before Oct would be nice. I'll just be playing 2k7 until that demo hits XBL.
