Synergy DNA + NBA 2K9?

[Benicio10]

I had an idea, and I wonder if it would work.

I'm thinking of buying NBA Live for the Synergy DNA, and applying some of those applicable ratings to NBA 2K9. This would combine the best of both worlds. 2K's gameplay, and Live's ratings!

Do you guys think Live's ratings transfer over well?

No cause the system live use to determine there rating is deeper then 2k and i dont mean that in a fanboy kind of way. Live has 72 categories that determine ratings that's why some players rating in live are lower then in 2k9 so it wouldn't work.
And dont forget synergy is more then just about players rating but there tendencies and and there roles on there team.

2K has Living Rosters which is the same from what I've heard about it...Not sure if they do tendencies tho

It's actually not the same jewelz.

Read this from OS's Q&A:

"EA: What's the difference between say a couple of NBA LIVE producers coming up with ratings, statistics for NBA LIVE 09 versus Synergy Sports?

GB: Your producers are at a hopeless disadvantage. In the end, they have always had to guess how players will act out on the court –- just like we used to do as coaches before Synergy came along. We might have known many of the tendencies of key players, but in-depth knowledge of all players was simply out of our reach. There is too much information to keep track of to accurately predict a player’s performance out on the floor or to reproduce player performance in a video game. This is where the human brain fails and computers excel -- when provided a full data set."

I wouldn't say the human brain fails but it is far too much information to process in such a short period to apply...

There is no way one guy can compete with what this is and hold it down on his own for a long period of time.

Not that I'd agree with him but Rashidi begs to differ.

im guessing its not just one guy , but still the synergy system from a features standpoint sounds amazing and something that nothing can really top. Studying statistics myself at the college level, i can appreciate what synergy is bringing to the table.

I still wonder when tendencies change for kobe after he torches the bobcats with jumpers and threes, what happens in his next GAME against a team that is GREAT at stopping threes? do the tendencies stay into effect or can he revert back to driving? Maybe im looking at it too much like the tendencies being hardcoded to the players AI. Can anyone elaborate on what im talking about. I want tendencies that use both the past success of tendencies and the future opponents that can dictate what is used properly. is that the future of live 2010?

Sorry man, as the above post described, even Rashidi cannot handle that.

Its too much to calculate

I know. From his actions it's him that disagrees with that, not I.

I'd probably call it "dynamically based tendencies according to your opponent". A true scouting report. Synergy is used now as a scouting service for teams. I dont think live is using it as that persay on a future game to game basis. I'm guessing in real life, teams now look at SIMILIAR teams to them and their personell and look at scouting footage in those similiarly ran "experiments" and see how the stars played. In real life,a bobcats team wouldnt want to see how kobe does against the celtics neccersarily but a team just like them in style and personell.

The most basic example can involve the lakers facing the bobcats. Old style tendencies, revolving on the past, state that they love to pick and pop 25% of the time and drive only 10%, just to throw some numbers out. But against Charlotte whos defense is crappy (which can be backed up with statistics showing they give up tons of drives, thanks to synergy) kobe can change his tendency skill set slightly to go in for the kill on drives.

Against a celtics team, can kobe go in for the kill? No. Can todays tendencies dictate that properly? I'm not too sure? Implementing a true scouting report tendency skill set would be out of this world imo.

Using synergy's figures, a team can look at the other teams strengths and weaknesses, then look at its own player personell, tendencies, and ratings, and then dictate which sort of tendency base is needed for that current game. It;s done in real life and can be done in game imo

Amazing stuff in store with the power of synergys computer run numbers
