Re: 1.02 Patch update

uuhh, did you really just apologize to these ungrateful Sons of Bs??? Thanks for the patch man and everything you guys did fix.

uuhh, did your really just call people in this thread ungrateful Sons of Bs ??

Bottom Line: If something was fixed in this patch or not. All of these complaints/suggestions need to be heard if not for Live 09 then for Live 2010....I dont think anyone's points in this thread deserve them to be called ungrateful Sons of Bs.

Re: 1.02 Patch update

It's not the point. If you pay for a brand new TV and it doesn't have simple colour TV even though you would have expected it would you moan? If you bought food from a restaurant and found something wrong with it and it was not up to your standards, would you moan?

Just because it is classed as a video game, does not mean that people should give up moaning. The game sells based on the community/people who buy it and without all of this moaning etc from buyers then whats the point in releasing a game. People paid good money for the game, they expect to see a good game with the minor tweaks sorted. Instead we are still receiving a game that in theory is a BETA. Would you buy a movie or go and watch a movie that was only in BETA stages? Half worked, parts missing. Of course not. To some people video games are part of their life, people like to chill and enjoy a video game as it gives them the feeling of playing in that specific thing. Not everyone can make the NBA.

It's people that post this rubbish like you who allow for half made games to be released. Giving off the impression off "Oh it's only a video game". Video games are part of society now, if you deem that sad etc than thats your problem, why would you be on a video game website otherwise.

No need to post if you don't have something constructive to say really. Your just trying to brew up an argument with pointless and irrelevant points.

Dude, return it. It's that simple. If you're dissatisfied at this point, return it and get your money back. Don't give me that 'constructive criticism' garbage. Majority of these posters rode the devs jocks for a good 2 months. Then when they didn't get what they wanted (re: perfect game in their standards) they started calling them out.

Alot of the complaints that I'm reading are nitpicking, not things that would totally revamp the game.

Guys on here work on rosters, sliders and settings for months after practically every game's release and have been doing that for years. Are all of those games BETAS as well?

Re: 1.02 Patch update

I think the reaction to the patch has been a little over the top.

The devs. can't win this year; There are just too many fundamental changes that can not be addressed in a patch with the limits given by Microsoft. Blame them. These guys had to pick and choose what goes into the patch, given the size requirements. At least they didn't come out and say "we're going to hopefully have extra download-able content!"

They didn't really set this year up as the complete, end-all basketball game. It was a rebuilding year, and if you go back and play Live 08, they did a damn good job of it.

I really don't understand the outrage as most of you knew going in that this year wasn't going to be a completely refined product. I think your expectations are a bit much, honestly.

Re: 1.02 Patch update

And why should I have to do that? I'm still not gonna get my full refund back. So it's people like you that just except things for the way that are. Easily decieved. Many folk can run game on you and you would never even know. Just because the game may be ok to you doesn't mean it's ok to everybody else.

Don't make excuses for these guys because whether you believe it or not more could have been done, it's just what they choose to do.

At the same time, I'll take my responsibility for not being smart and just renting before I bought the game. So I'll own up to my mistake, but never again.

But never in my life will I acquire your way of thinking. I don't just accept anything. If you went out and bought a hdtv today got it home, hook it up and notice some burn-in's after a couple hours or some dead pixels you tell me what you would do? I mean after all it's just a tv right? The company did all they could do right? Post it up on ebay lol Please!!!

How exactly was I deceived? These guys were smart and didn't say what was going to be patched. I applaud them for that because you guys would've raised even more hell than you are now.

The HDTV comparison doesn't work. You bought a product and the FREE update wasn't up to your standards. That's it. End of story.

So what are you going to do now instead of beating your chest on a message board?

Re: 1.02 Patch update

Steph,

I know the patch has gone live, but I was wondering if there would be future patches. If so, is there any way that player lock can be coded to be included in the User Preferance.

It Could Read:

Theme:
Auto Save:
Preferred Position: (All, PG, SG, SF, PF, C)

I ask because it's really unintuitive to have to pause the game before or after tip-off to go into the menu and select a position each game.

If not possible via patch, it would be cool to have this as an option in NBA Live '10.

Re: 1.02 Patch update

Marcus,

you hinted at the ratings being fixed in a coming 365 update. are they fixed all around based on playmakers findings? or is it just updated ratings based on "whatever".

Re: 1.02 Patch update

The patch communications had nothing to do with PR. It was all about us as developers wanting to get confirmation from Sony/MS that the patch passed all their testing, and to get a confirmed date of release. Sony dropping the patch yesterday was completely out of the blue. That is it, that is all.

Hopefully soon it will be released in all regions/platforms. Enjoy the changes we were able to make. Of course 365 will keep tweaking your gameplay experience as well.

Re: 1.02 Patch update

I thought the patch addresses the scoreboard placement?

I took this photo this morning (I DL'd the patch yesterday on my PS3) and it looks the same to me. Or am I missing somthing?

^^Wow that's horrible.

I have the PS3 using Broadcast view and the scoreboard was never that low even before the patch.

I know FootballForever spoke about it but I never knew that it was that bad.

The PS3 ticker used to be under the basket from that angle on the floor. The cameras and ticker position should now be the same as it is on 360.

Re: 1.02 Patch update

Yes, it was certainly worse than that.

I asked Steph about player lock placement. Did you, by chance, read my question? If so, what is your take on it?

Re: 1.02 Patch update

Re: 1.02 Patch update

Gotcha - thanks. Well, at least it's not as bad as it was. Hhmm, I wonder why can't it just be up in the corner? (baffled) See the FAKE photo below that I photoshopped. Oh well, guess they have their reasons.

Yes, it was certainly worse than that.

You will be happy with next year's game.
