Um, where is Steve Nash!?

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever seen. Some of the logic used is downright ridiculous. You want a player on the team even though he's not on the team anymore in real life? stephenson, while you're at it, could you please add Shaquille O'Neal back to the Lakers and Magic both? Oh, and put MJ back on the Bulls if it's not too much trouble. Please bring back Bill Russell so I can play a KG/Russell front court and get rid of Kendrick Perkins..

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

If they came off the bench in RL, then they should come off the bench in the game.

Can't you just put him in the starting line-up manually anyways?

That's the other thing you guys aren't taking into consideration... If EA were to stick to realism 100%, then ALL THREE of Canada's NBA players would have to be removed from the team entirely. Nash, Dalembert and Magloire are no longer current members of the team (Magloire has never been a member, in fact).

So basically, if you take those three guys off, then what you've got is a high school team talent-wise pretty much. Is that fun? I think not.

Classy... Doesn't take much character to become a mod around here I take it.

As I've said about two million times, Nash was advertised as a member of the team. If you think it's "dumb" of me to want something that I dropped 60 bucks for, then fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But I know I'm in the right here, and stephenson agrees with me. Thank goodness.

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

How are you in the right? You're wanting players on teams that aren't even on the team. That's not right, that's ridiculous.

Re: Um, where the hell is Steve Nash!?

He's now part of the team, but not starting.

I hope you guys will be as accommodating with other aspects of the game, like realistic loose ball fouls.

I'm in the right because I purchased this game after seeing the Steve Nash/Canada teaser. For a long while, I was on the fence as to whether I would go with 2K or Live this year. But when I saw that advertisement, my mind was set. Live 09 was the game for me from that moment on.

And now, after I've purchased the game, you think it would be fair to take away the main reason I bought it in the first place? THAT, my friend, would be ridiculous.

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

If you're spending $60 based on the fact that one player is or is not on a certain team, that's even more ridiculous than wanting players on teams they don't play for. The thread is nearing http://www.operationsports.com/forum...load-menu.html in terms of ludicrousness.

Things change. That's the beauty of Live 365....to get the most accuarate rosters and tendencies to date. Maybe during development of NBA Live 09, Steve Nash was slated to be a member of Team Canada. He obviously chose NOT to play on Canada this summer and there's NO reason why EA should have him there.

This whole "advertised" thing is nonsense my man. IF Kobe Bean Bryant (the best player in the Universe) were to get traded from the Lakers before the trading deadline, should he not be moved to his new team just because he was "advertised" on being a member of the Lakers??

Maybe this whole 365 DNA feature is not cut out for someone like you.

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

Whatever you say dude... If you'd like to volunteer to give me my 60 bucks back to shut me up, that's cool. But until that happens, I've got a legitimate case to be made here.

Is that Canadian or USD?

I'm sorry, but you really don't have a legitimate case to be made.

This quote right here by left4dead pretty much sums it all up.

And with that, out goes all legitimacy of the point you are trying to make. If he's not on the team, he shouldn't be on the team on the game, and that's about all there is to say about it.

I don't mean to sound rude, but that's pure BS man... I'm referring to the "maybe they thought he'd play for Canada this summer" comment. It was common knowledge since last season that Steve was not going to be participating in this year's Olympics.

My guess is, the developers thought it would be neat to have Steve on the team, as a kind of throw-back to the glory days, and also to appeal to Steve Nash fans from Canada like myself. And I think that's why they gave him the #7 in this game, because that's actually his old number that he wore back in the 1990's with Team Canada.

As for "Live 365", I totally love the feature. I just don't think it should be applied to the FIBA side of things. For NBA transactions and whatnot, sure, that's cool. But when it comes to international teams, I don't see why you guys think there's a need to be so strict with it. It should be a fun little feature - not something that gets dissected and over-analyzed.

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

You still didn't answer. Do you want Nash on the team to play competitively online?

Re: Um, where is Steve Nash!?

They should put VC back into team USA then so we can dunk over 7 footers right? Cause it's meant to be 'fun' mode.
