Now, I know this suggestion wouldn't actually come to fruition, but figured I'd make a discussion about it. Why not release patches, etc. Work and character updates?

Hahaha it's funny because I was thinking about this at work! I think there will be a time that they will stop producing their product when they reached their limit. Limit meaning, they fixed all the gameplay, graphics, etc. Then Dynamic comes into play and update roster daily, then when there's minor issues, then release a patch..

Re: Every other year cycle

DLC, you could pay for the new draft classes and what not.

Re: Every other year cycle

that's impossible and unreasonable

it's an iterative process and there's always improvements to be made every year

frankly, i would be pissed if I had to play Live "09" until next October of 2010

Re: Every other year cycle

Not another one of these threads...

You're comparing people buying DLC to a few hundred thousand paying $60 for a brand new game.

Why release a game every two years when the public buys them yearly? Would you purposefully hold a product back to not make money? It's terrible business.

Re: Every other year cycle

I love this idea. They could still make money by adding DLC via patch such as a new game mode or new draft class. Additionally they could charge a fee for Dynamic DNA for the second year.

Now the reason I love this is that most games have a longer development cycle than one year. If NBA Live developers were given two years to develop next game we would get such a better product. I would definitely support that.

You cant charge 60 bucks for that. No company in their right mind would do that.

That's an urban legend

thats why I said it will never happen lol. Just a thought. I was thinking about how ea may do their mma title then fn on another cycle. So this sprang to mind.

Re: Every other year cycle

The only way this would work would be if 2k comes out with 1 in 2011 then Live come back in 2012, alternate each year. Then have dlc content each year for the game that sat out a year for each game.

yeah but they would never work together like that and then they'd be doing themselves out of millions of dollars in sales each year. There is no way the DLC would be worth enough for people to shell out enough extra dough to make it worthwhile.

People have short attention spans these days and often trade games in only weeks/months after purchase. It works with fightnight / MMA alternating because they don't have structured seasons that people want to play along with and they are very similar games despite the obvious differences. I guess they could alternate an nba street / nba live title but they'd prob still end up making less money so i doubt it'll ever happen.
