The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

Re: The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

And 2K's commentary carries over to Association and My Player games as well where they talk in-depth about things happening in the league based on your play, etc. It really is worlds better... I had higher hopes for Live's commentary since I liked it better than 2K's in 09, but it's basically the same as last year with those lightweight storylines while the competition took a huge and meaningful step forward.

Here's hoping that NCAA's presentation and commentary carries over to next year's Live.

Re: The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

Yup. You play an NBA Today game to live in the current moment. It's pretty much everything Dynamic season was touted to be aside from it saving your win/loss, stats and Rewind DNA.

It doesn't even make sense to play regular quick games anymore, since you can do that within NBA Today.

Dynamic Season has lost its luster for me with all the "incorrect" DNA comments.

I tried to play a game the other day and that alien thing happened. Maybe I'll check it out again in a month or so.

Yeah I feel ya, if EA doesn't start getting these updates accurate on the first try (and every try) then Live will probably wind up on eBay for me. The generics are driving me a little crazy too. It's a real big downer for the mode.

But the big difference with DS and NBA Today sounds like the merging of your results into the real life season. I'm pretty much only going to play with the Knicks so to have everything else in my DS match what's going on IRL is pretty sweet. Don't have to worry about any crazy sim stats, team record or unrealistic trades and injuries.

With NBA Today though can you play any match up even if it's not on the real-life schedule? You mentioned no need for quick games but what if I wanted to play Knicks/Celts today and it's not going on IRL? If so how does that work?

Sorry to get this thread way off topic btw.

Yeah i cant wait to see the ESPN and ABC integrated in NCAA...I hope we get this type of presentation in Live 11 next year. On another note I wish the college games came out before Live so they could work the bugs out with NCAA (since its not the big seller) and integrate the changes in Live instead of the vice versa situation we have now. Especially since Ncaa is always a port of the Live engine.

I can't complain since I like college games more than NBA games but I'm sure when NCAA '10 drops in two weeks it'll get almost all my gaming time. The game play is always a little better than the pro version and obviously the presentation blows Live out of the water.

Re: The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

DS's appeal is near faded completely out for me....

I never thought it was groundbreaking like many, especially w\ no references to the season in the commentary....I figured this would be the ultimate mode for me being that I play alot of 1 off games....but its just meh w\o proper rotations and players...

Yes, just go to NBA Today, scroll down to last matchup and select quick game. That will use real life stats and the real life season as of today.

PM me if you have any more questions or ask on the 2k forum so we don't keep going off track.

I'm still holding out hope for dynamic season... but like you said they have to get the updates on the first try. I don't feel like I can just play a game and trust it will play out ok. I feel like I have to come here, check to see if anyone said anything bad about the matchup, THEN play. That's frustrating.

Add to that the OT we need to deal with because of the patch. I think you're set as long as they get the DNA info right the first time. I don't understand how Milicic all of a sudden ends up on the DL/IR/whatever.

Re: The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

I dunno ....I LOVE Dynamic Season. Blending my stats with the real life stats is everything. I know it's a little frustrating with the inaccuracies of the lineups..but I will give them a pass for the first couple of weeks. I Love it (by the way my Knicks are 3-1 in this virtual world...Gullinari is the MAN!!!) The "other game" be damned..I'm rollin with LIVE!

Rotations and rosters are ultra important. They have to get that right. DS will be awesome IMO if those things get ironed out. If they don't it will be a MAJOR disappointment. Reference to the season commentary is waayyyyy down the list for me. Could care less. I guess it would be kinda cool but no where near a priority for me. Certainly not a game breaker or maker.

Re: The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

I own both NBA live 10 and 2k10, and i try to play at least one Dynamic season game a day from each game....my question is "what is so dynamic about the dynamic season other than the DNA statistics in Live 10"? Like when i play these games I dont get the feel that i am playing a reg season game, it feels like any other game that i could have quick matched myself. I have yet to notice Marv and Steve kerr say anything relative about the current nba season. Now when i put in 2k to play there NBA today mode i get stats, socres, and convos about that teams last game. Will someone correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Live 10 suppose to have dynamic commentary and stats??

After thinking for a while that DS was the best thing ever in a sport video game, I started thinking last night exactly what you typed. There isnt anything to let you know you are playing the real season. The presentation is just flat out terrible. I dont know whati expected but it was more than I'm getting.

Re: The Dynamic Season Thread: Dyn-O-Mite!

I have both 2k and live10 as well... TBH NBA today and Dynamic season feel exactly the same. The comentary in 2k(for NBA today) is far superior IMO but i'm liking the feel of live10. I think its just a year were we flip flop between the 2 games(not complaining though,2 very good games)
