Dynasty stats

Re: Dynasty stats

At the end of the day Dynamic season may be the only way for many of us to get realistic stats. Clearly that was a focus so it's going to have to do for us.

I appreciate the honesty and candor of stephonsonmc. instead of running and hiding, a clear "we didn't get there yet, it wasn't a focus" is a refreshing response I can't help but respect.

anything that can be done patch-wise to get us a stat engine that more closely reflects what we see in the NBA today? no doubt it's not that easy, but perhaps it's possible. even downloadable content that is optional would work for many of us i'm guessing. the strides your team took with gameplay just makes us want a realistic dynasty and stats even more tantalizing.

Re: Dynasty stats

I don't wanna sound too suspicious but AGAIN nobody has tried dynamic season fully and no reviews has been made about it as the season not started.

I think by now ea has to start working on patch to improve dynasty a little bit more, i didn't get my hands on it i don't know for sure but those trades shouldn't happen that's all i'm saying.

There's a lot that can go wrong with the dynamic season but I'm staying optimistic.

I trust that the Dev team wouldn't have put it in this year unless they had confidence in it. Dynamic DNA worked great last year so that should give you a little hope.

Re: Dynasty stats

question for you FAM CEO by the way thanks for the pix but all and all how are you enjoying the dynasty mode this year?

No problem, I am not a basher of games and play them for what they deliver well, but dynasty is not done well in Live this year as an overall.

To be honest...truly honest..I am playing 2K for dynasty...The gameplay is great in Live, but the commentating and the all in all feel of dynasty is done better in 2K. I have both and will play both for different reasons. Online and Dynamic season for Live and Dynasty on 2K...

This will be the first year I keep 2 BBall games. I have friends that play both, so thats another reason.

Re: Dynasty stats

Yes the IR problem is fixed, players no longer remain on the IR after their injury ends. But dynasty injuries as a whole isn't fixed. EA fixed one aspect of it only to break another - players don't get injured in played games.

So overall, injuries in Dynasty still don't work, it's just for a different reason.

It's frustrating because they've fixed one thing only to break another. It's like how a petulant child deals with spilled milk. They clean it up with your best shirt.

Seriously? OMG, it's 1 thing after another(simmed stats). It's like it's the same game year after year since current gen. Oh wait it IS the same game, ha lol, just like Madden, NCAA, the list goes on and on. Hey at least they are recycling, lol. I guess that's the way it is with a new gen of consoles and sports games, they make 1 version of programs such as IR status, pacake blocks, tackling stats, simmed NBA stats , etc, and just build on top of that NO MATTER HOW FAULTY THE ORIGINAL FOUNDATION IS. I still think Live will be a good game I'm just frustrated with EA today.

Re: Dynasty stats

Yes, this is very frustrating to see the stats are so off. However, I think its cool that stephen is stepping up to the plate and being honest about the issues. More than I can say about a couple of gamea that came out for another popular sport that was released in July and August. But I don't think this is the place to really dwell in to that.

Ultimately it won't stop me from spending 120 dollars on basketball games this year. Well.... 180 if you count the college game.

Re: Dynasty stats

I do appreciate stephonsonmc's honesty, and as he said they're going to take heat for things.

I know I had Kobe Bryant on my dynasty team last year and he got hurt, but I don't remember if it was in a played game or a simmed game. I simmed games until the 4th quarter, then played from there. If he said it wasn't in last year it wasn't in.

Sim stats were not good. It was stephonsonmc himself who promised they would be fixed.

Re: Dynasty stats

Alright, just got the word.

c'mon guys, stuff isn't "BROKEN", it's the same. We don't save injuries in-game so we didn't have it in 09 and we don't have it in LIVE 10.

I know our dynasty has short comings this year, but we had obvious priorities to get to guys. I know that's not an excuse at all, and in the end, we'll pay for it...but I'm at least giving you the truth. Apologies guys.

Yes, your dynasty mode has serious short comings... and it cost you 7 sales today (mine, and six 2kers that I convinced to buy live this year.) and gave 2k 7 sales.

Really Think that's gonna make a difference??Normally and by nature if they are 2kers then they never had real intentions on appreciating live.P.S (it's not like 2k doesn't have serious shortcomings also)

You should also be thankful to ea and his producer here for his being honest and telling what is in or not, so that you and your friends money could be saved right?

Re: Dynasty stats

Well...you guys are right about hammering EA.
BUT...it goes to the wrong people.

Mike,steph etc. did what they can in the given amount of time, and I think they did a hell of a job!


Just like Madden or just like FIFA, the dev teams who are now in the lead have to pay for the poor decisions from the previous teams.

As CONSUMERS, everyone of us has a legit point in critizise the downfalls of the product...like Live's dynasty stats.

As OSler, I think we should lower the bashing and go back to the constructive critic. I mean, everyone here on this board has seen a lot of games and a lot of dev teams coming and going, so we should also appreciate the great work.

Just like Madden, the new devs had to implement their new ideas and influence on a old engine (or code in generel).

Gameplaywise, Live 10 is a evolution to '09, just like Fifa 09 was to 08.

Things need time, they have just one year...and besides...the main focus is on getting the sales right, not satisfying the simgamers. I really love the communication and the focus of the devs to make the final product as much of a "real ball simulation" as it is possible.

So from my point of view, it is like this:
This year: total overhaul of the gameplay (I know it isn't, but the changes made make it feel like that) and style of the game + further developing of the synergy data (dynamic season).

I am pretty sure, that next year dynasty or the actual playing modes (on- and offline) will be the main focus as the gameplay is about right now.

Be patient people, EAs 1-year sale strategy will never allow "the perfect" game.

But on the other hand, I am happy that I can enjoy fine gameplay this year. And even if some of the stats are totaly off, dynasty isn't really "broken".
I wonder how much the people would be p'ed if Live would pause for one year...

Sorry for the confusing post, it's late here in Europe

Re: Dynasty stats

How is the DNA for the draft classes? I can maybe deal with the stats and bogus trades. But will the gameplay still be fun in year 5? Is it possible that over time and through the draft the Warriors could become a slow it down, half court team (with the CPU controlling them)? Anyone seeing any problems with the generated rookies?

Re: Dynasty stats

I do understand that these teams are working hard and have limited time but, it just gets frustrating.

The DNA for this year's rookies are directly from Synergy Sports. We were able to get DNA from when they were in college.
