NBA Live 365 Status Update

Re: NBA Live 365 Status Update

You missed the point. If you believe EA to have as shaky of a recent history and have no faith in their ability to put out new features without flaw or without delay, then that's on you for purchasing the game sight unseen.

This is not without precedent. 2k and EA have both had hiccups whenever they have added some new online component. It's sucks but it happens. We're 4 days in to the NBA season, so it's a little to early to get the torches and pitchforks out.

But certain people live to complain, so they will, and certain other people love to complain about EA so for them they get a double whammy.

I didn't miss the point at all. And I'm not going to argue that with you. It's understood 365 is in early stages, I already acknowledged that and followed that statement up with the belief that this "hiccup" will work itself out. The game is still good and I'm having a blast playing it. People, including myself are just eager to see the feature working and annoyed that it's not. I'm just voicing my belief that this should have been worked out over the last few months and don't believe that's to much to ask or have expected.

That's a much more softened stance than than the post of yours I origanlly quoted.

just to plays God's advocate, they DID say they were going to turn on DNA after each team has played a game. Now, it delayed until each team has played a few time, thats a little silly.

now, because all the team players DNA is set at 14 or 15, i cant even do a franchise with the old DNA! lol

wait,, whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?

oh EA.

Re: NBA Live 365 Status Update

No questioning my objectivity after the community day though. I understand though your stance is now crystal.

Haval, hope you post a bit more around here now. It's definitely more sane than EA's forums apparently. lol

I try to get on here a bit more...Hopefully...I really do like the EA boards...I also like here...It's way more active here...

Re: NBA Live 365 Status Update

Hello Everyone,

We're good to go for lineup changes with NBA LIVE 365 on the XBOX 360. Similar to last night with the PS3 version of NBA LIVE 09, an update will be deployed late Saturday night (11/1), early Sunday morning (11/2) that will activate accurate lineup changes based on the NBA games played for NBA LIVE 09. Just to reiterate, the DNA and tendencies will be updated, but we're waiting a few days so that games can be played and you guys can see the changes.

Once again, we couldn't be more appreciative for your understanding and patience as we work through the kinks in this brand new feature!

Continue please to leave your feedback on NBA LIVE 365, and we'll be sure to update all of you as we move forward!

Thanks,
The NBA LIVE Dev Team

Re: NBA Live 365 Status Update

Certainly it does apply. As I said, test environment is one thing. The XBL production environment is huge. Some things that may work in test won't neccesarily work in production. Some things simply can not be tested in production on a production scale.

Replay games are indeed working, I played one last night.

This does provide a good excuse for the people that like to complain about all things EA however.

If you want to scream the sky is falling because some new component is not working properly the first week, so be it. We had the same problems with the NFL 2k series, with Madden and with NCAA when they all went online or added new online features. It's the nature of the technology.

the 365 issues don't have anything to do with xbox live. they're not on ps3 either. i'm not screaming the sky is falling and i'm not complaining about all things ea. i love live 09, and that's why i'm passionate about being able to use the 365 features. plus it doesnt help that this is the KEY component of the game this year. have you seen any of the commercials??? it's not some throw away selling point that's quirky in the beginning and can be patched later. based on the press and ad spin, it should have worked from jump street.

now having said that, and understanding my frustrations with live 365, understand that i still love the game and fully expect the "kinks" to be worked out shortly. i just wish they had spent some more time prepping for the start of the nba season...

Re: NBA Live 365 Status Update

stephensonmc, do the updates change plays available in the menu?

Seemed like it to me when I played last night

A couple of things seemed a bit different, but I dont know if im losing it or not.

I saw a shot twirl the rim and go in, similar to how you can do in practice mode, and I also took a lead from a home team and they called a timeout without me going on a 10-0 ror 10-2 run

Not really. I said the same things in my first couple posts in this thread. With the exception of saying I was "having a blast playing the game". I didn't feel it was necessary for me to have to say that in order to convey or validate my complaint.

Wasn't talking about your first couple of posts. Was talking about the post of yours I quoted and responded to. If you want to keep changing it up, that's on you.

PS, did EA have enough money for the 3min ads during TNT's thursday games after failing to acquire Take Two? Those couldn't have been cheap

Re: NBA Live 365 Status Update

I'm dying to try this feature, because the rewind games are so cool. Guys doing what they're supposed to do.
Stars being stars, scrubs being scrubs. That's really what I love about Live this year.
Bums won't go off for 40 in this game.
