    Re: Dynasty Improvements

    dynasty should be an immersive experience... My own world. my own nba. I should be able to play or watch any game I want. I should be able to practice at any time. especially for a big matchup why should I not be able to go into practice mode and run some plays or get some shots up.

    Sure you can have it so I can only increase attributes once a month but please let us get into the gym for practice between games.

    Right now your dynasty mode has no allure its pretty cut and dry. I have no feeling that one thing has anything thing to do with the other. Its like a bunch of individual stuff that was not programmed to be one experience. Your stats and league leaders are life-less and un engaging. You must increase the depth of your stats engine 2k9 has a beefy one.

    You really need to leverage DNA to give dynasty users an experience that will keep them coming back for more. With DNA you would be able to see historically how each player has performed against certain teams. In addition you are able to see from real life situations the fluctuations that occur with each team from game to game... I.E Lebron is a constant from the Cavs but each night someone different from the bench may step up depending on wheter they are hot or they have the key matchup in tonights game.

    This should allow you to write an adaptable DNA code that takes into account what boobie is capable of doing and then if the right conditions present themselves he will either attempt to have a big game or play within the offense. Keeping me as a user off balance even though I may face them 1 once preseason and 4 times in the year and then a 7 game playoff series.

    You guys would be crazy not to leverage the benefit of having the only college hoops nba game situation in the industry. You guys could do wonderful stuff between the two games that now use the same engine that would heavily encourage users to purchase both games. And do not forget to add some made up foreign players when you add import features from ncaa bb to nba live.

    A better Idea is to do what you did with dna with the dynasty mode. Just buy the engine or hire one of these text sim guys are that it. That is real type of intergration we want. We want that type of depth in dynasty mode. Hell if you can't do it outsource it like DNA. The first company to approach that with solid core gameplay wins...lol Period.

      I would love a DNA-based dynasty where you would be forced to use the daily rosters with all the tendancies.
      That would be very cool.
      Not sure how difficult that would be to implement.

        Fixing the rotation issue is HUGE to me. Im currently in the NBA finals against the Rockets in the second year of my franchise and Tracy McGrady is on the bench even though he is perfectly healthy and is rated as their best player. I checked some other teams and noticed Chris Paul was on the bench. Not good. This basically kills the fun of playing games in franchise mode.

          Just to clarify, is this during your off-season, or when the regular NBA season starts?

            -More IN-GAME injuries.

            -Suspensions.

            -Practice anytime you want; not just once a month.

            -Summer leagues.

              The rotation issue is during the season. I didnt notice it until the NBA finals but thats probably because I only played a few games during the regular season and the teams that I played during the playoffs werent experiencing the rotation issue. It was only after I noticed it during the finals that I checked some other teams and noticed the same issue. Someone else earlier mentioned that they thought that it was caused by injured players not being rotated back in properly. I just pulled up McGrady's profile and it says that he only played in 57 games of my current season. Yao only played in 76 but he made it back into the starting lineup.

                  Preseason games played in various locations/arenas (not NBA arenas), like they do in real life.

                  Also, NBA Europe Live!!! I think Live 07 for the current-gen had NBA Europe Live jerseys for the teams that participated in it, but not the arenas. It would be cool to have your team participate in it during the offseason, with the actual jerseys and arenas.

                    I like what the Czar is saying. This game's dynasty mode is pretty much meat and potatoes at this point. It's really in pieces vs giving the user something that is really immersive and addictive. I also think DNA can be utilized in different ways to add to the immersion especially in something like a dynasty. Players perform differently depending on matchups with different players. Right now if I'm not mistaken DNA is just going by how a player performed in their last game vs how they performed against a specific team or player. Some players choke in certain situations and have trouble going against certain players and that could really be reflected in a dynasty. Say a player has been struggling against a certain team he really could come into a game trying to have a really big game to break that streak etc... It could be very cool. I also wish there was a way to integrate online aspects into an offline dynasty other than DNA. 2k's dynasty has a ton of stuff but its almost too much imo and its not implemented the way it should be. 2k's dynasty has always been way too meticulous, mundane and boring imo. I have hopes that live can get something going here that would really be immersive and fun.
