Re: Ask the devs a question

"you guys should look forward to what we have in store for you with NBA LIVE 365 throughout the season."

Might that include a decent number of rewind games?

Hit your stride when the game, on a standard set of hardware, still continuously crashes.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Is that on the 360 fjc?

I've been playing on the PS3, and I've yet to get a single freeze-up or crash.

Re: Ask the devs a question

I still have an extreme amount of delay in going up for rebounds and blocks. Is the patch still accurate even when you have the game installed to the HDD and you play from the HDD???

"When did you start your dynasty?"

Not sure what you mean by that, Steve. By hit your stride you meant the game is complete.

But it still freezes on the 360. It happens in Dynasty, it happens in Quick Play.

There's also the issue with players on IR never getting back into the roster in a Season or Dynasty. It seems pretty basic that a guy would recover at some point to regain his starting slot. But if someone were to start a season or dynasty today, with the latest 365 update, McGrady would never play a game because he'd remain injured forever.

As for the rewind games, it was and is still touted as "play last night's big games." Yet, for example, if I load up the Bulls and Cavs the only games I can play are from last season.

I wanted to play one of LeBron's big games against the Bulls this season. They aren't available.

IMHO, and it isn't really that humble, stride is hit when basic game functions work. There are still basic elements of the game that don't work.

Re: Ask the devs a question

As of this posting, out of the last 10 Bulls games, only 3 are in Rewind. (12/2/08, 11/30/08 and 11/21/08).

Games that are missing are 12/3/08 (Bucks 97, Bulls 90); 11/26/08 (Spurs 98, Bulls 88); 11/24/08 (Bulls 101, Jazz 100); 11/23/08 (Nuggets 114, Bulls 101); 11/19/08 (Trailblazers 116, Bulls 74); 11/18/08 (Lakers 116, Bulls 109); 11/15/08 (Bulls 104, Pacers 91)

That's only 30% of the last 10 games available????? And this is just for 1 team????

I can accept the rewind games on any given day backlogged by say 2 or 3 games. However, in my example, what happened to the Bulls games between 11/21/08-11/26/08??

Dev, will these games that are missing from Rewind ever be available for us to play or are they lost forever because your servers can't handle the volume?

Re: Ask the devs a question

I have another question for the devs. Do you think you should be held accountable for the shortcomings of your games (especially advertised and marketed features which don't work properly)?

And if you do believe you should be held accountable, in what way do you think your penalty should be?

Do you feel as though it's cool for everyone that purchases your product to have to wait until the following year for you guys to get things right, or do you feel as though some type of discount for shortcomings should be given accommodate for there patience (such as a price drop or like $10 or something) (more patches throughout the year)?

Now this is speaking solely in regards to features which are marketed on your product as well as advertise in other areas as well.


Any of the devs honest opinion on this would be greatly appreciated.

They dynasty issue is now fixed

If you're getting freezes on the 360, try clearing your cache. If that doesn't help, are you able to exchange your copy? When checking with our customer support we've had extremely low cases of freezing. This isn't a cop out at all, but I have games that freeze sometimes on my consoles.....

As for the Rewind games, I'm checking into that now. Thanks for bringing it up Maddog!

the only way you are personally going to be able to curb the pain, or jilt, is to rent the game from now on before buying it.

thats what I am going to do, for BOTH games... not that I dont appreciate the effort, I just dont personally think the games are up to where they should and could be.

Lives close though, and defintely has the right group in place.

other game seems to be goin backwards.

but thats neither here nor there.

just rent the game bls!

Yeah but I would have had to rent the game multiple times by now to find out some of the stuff thats going on especially the stuff with this rewind and 365 updates. And add 19.99 on top of that. By that time the game is paid for.
