Re: Ask the devs a question

Can you tell me if there will be a list of the things that actualy get fixed (patched) and maybe a update at some point on what your actualy looking to fix or maybe just considering ?

thanks for any help with the questions

We are doing our best to address the most common complaints from your feedback. Of course, we are bound by certain restrictions (patch file size for example), so not everything can be fixed. But when we get closer to locking down the list, we'll let you guys know.

So unpleasant... and disturbing

No more than having the last name Wang.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Any update on the PS3 in game replay slowdown? The clipping/slowdown makes games on the PS3 almost unplayable...

Is there a plan to address in your patch?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Can the crawl be turned off? It's annoying to see a player's name up there even if the home team hasn't scored in ten minutes.

Could the FIBA rosters be corrected to reflect the Olympics? Carlos Boozer on Team USA instead of Amare Stoudemire, take Steve Nash off of Canada, etc.

I think they did take Nash off Team Canada and it was a thread on here about why he was missing.

Exactly. I want exact FIBA rosters ... which means no Nash, Magloire or Dalembert if I'm not mistaken.

I forget which big guy alienated Team Canada - Dalembert or Magloire.

Whatever ... Nash did his tours for Canada and is totally honourable, but he isn't on the team anymore.

Re: Ask the devs a question

Nash was indeed removed from the team recently... However, due to public outcry (i.e. my "whining" as some have referred to it - fair enough - lol) Nash is going to be re-inserted into Canada's starting lineup once the next 365-Update is released.

With all due respect to Jermaine Anderson, I would have to go run myself a very cold shower and have a nice long cry if he became the permanent replacement for Mr. MVP... Actually, it would be a lot like how Steve felt when Canada lost in the Olympics a few years back:

That, my friends, is a photo of a man who not only bleeds red... But RED AND WHITE!!

In all seriousness though, with regards to the implementation of Live 365... FIBA and the NBA are two very unique things independent of one another. Thus, the standards that have been set for one of them don't necessarily apply to the other. As we have seen in other sports titles, such as NHL 09, international teams are often comprised of each country's best players, regardless of their real-life participation in international events. The reason being... It's simply more fun that way. Realism is perfectly fine with me, don't get me wrong. But, when that realism starts to detract from the fun factor, then there's a serious problem. I can't speak for stephenson and the EA staff, but I think they would agree with that sentiment. Otherwise, they wouldn't have included Nash, Samuel Dalembert and Jamaal Magloire on the roster in the first place.

Pssssst. I think you can customize the international rosters...

Re: Ask the devs a question

Can you please, please give us the ability to play any game in dynasty mode with the patch? It kills the longevity of dynasty when I can only play my team's games, and I know there are others that feel the same way. Did I mention please?

Re: Ask the devs a question

I have a question about DNA and ratings. Let me give you a scenario....Player "x" comes into the game rated 70. Let's justr say he has a "breakout" year becomes and allstar and scores like 28 PPG. His tendencies will be updated with 365 but does that mean his overall rating will rise as well? [I know it won't increase daily].....if I look at the roster in March will if reflect a higher rated and improved player then from November?

Re: Ask the devs a question

His overall rating will slowly rise, yes.

Do you guys have an eta as to when the patch will be released?

Re: Ask the devs a question

Will there ever be a game mode tournament offline? My friends and I get together every other weekend at each other. It would be nice to keep stats for each game and give out trophies at the end of the tournament.
