No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

Re: No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

I don't care about editing at all... It's nice to have for custom rosters for dynasty, but when rosters are kept fairly up to date it's no big deal to me.

Only reason why I'm concerned is the fact that everyone else is concerned.. Live has a chance to make a splash and win back users. As long as gameplay is balanced I'm all in for Live.. But I play online a lot, I want so many people playing live so I don't have to wait forever to find someone to play against. First blow against Live this year. Almost everything else was positive

This. I didn't personally care about the customization, but I hate to see EA lose customers when they are on the come up.

A guy that works for ea Thahoopgawd dosent even no if you can use legends outside of ultimate team smh

This wouldn't be a surprise because these guys never seem to be on the same page with each other

Even with the flaws in this game I'd be willing to bet money they would sale more copies if they would just include editing options rather than rely on Synergy for another waisted year.

I felt this way about Live 15 that the game could be markedly improved with editing options available to the consumer

It does suck that Live is losing customers by this news and I am one of them, but of all sports games NBA Live is the last game that can afford to leave out features, with all the apologies and canceled games in the past you would think by now they would know how to meet casual and hardcore fans halfway.

Still seems they have a one step forward two steps back mentality.

Re: No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

Absolutely made the wrong choice Roster editing adds longevity to the game

So you honestly think that advertising this game with "NOW WITH ROSTER EDITING!" Instead of pro-am would have given it more sales? Really?

I'm as hardcore into basketball as they come, and I think that's ridiculous.

I've put like 500 hours into the competition, and do you know how many hours I've spent editing rosters? Maybe 5.

Come on Bro your not advertising the game with editing your giving the fans what they desire and what they had 10 years ago on older systems....

They have known this for the past few years how important editing is in all sports games not just Live.

When you go to any roster section for any basketball game on these forums you don't see people talking about MY player or Pro Am edits for SIM gameplay....

If you don't like editing rosters that is cool but IMO there's a great deal of people here who could give 2 cents about putting their face in the game or creating themselves....

There should be options to customize the game to our liking and that has nothing to do with MARKETING and everything to do with not selling the CONSUMER short.

I find it funny that you can create your guy and rate your guy and there's mention of it breaking anything or hurting Synergy.....

Yet you make one change to the actual NBA players and all hell will break loose with Synergy according to EA...

I understand guys will support them but lets not undervalue the IMPORTANCE of roster editing to this community just because they added some feature that allows you put yourself in the game.

There's a reason why this forum goes completely dead after 2-3 months of playing Live and I can assure you not having the ability to edit rosters is right up at the top of the list......while the competitor game forum stays active 365 days a year right up to release of the next version.

Honestly, the only way live can bring in the casual masses is if the hardcore people spend all year raving about it to their friends. The people who don't pay attention are gonna get 2K because its what they know and their hardcore friends have spent the last 5+ years saying it was the better game.

Re: No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

PM, with all due respect, OS is just drop in the bucket of the basketball videogame market. Unfortunately, analytics tell publishers what the masses want. This forum isn't the end all, be all. I wish it were, but unfortunately it's not.

I'd go as far to say that some of the devs want this more than some users even, but they're tied to what the Games direction is.

You all can debate the decision all you want, and feel that you're correct, I thought the same way. But analytics of the masses say what to focus on.

And even though everyone thinks it's as simple as adding a few menu buttons... that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, editing is on other titles. The code has been in place for those. For this title, it isnt.

I want editing, but the assumptions that they aren't listening is assanine. Once the game is in your hands (for free), you'll see that they listened to a ton of gameplay feedback. This is just a little tougher than adding a few menus.

Re: No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

What confuses me is we have the ability to fully edit our created players in Live 16, BUT they say its hard to put player editing back in the game, how does that make sense?

Lol exactly how the other company claims its too hard to add alternates in the career mode like really uploadfromtaptalk1439597222675.jpg

It sucks but sliders is still good enough. Sliders would have made 15 better

As long as they fix how rotations work I'm good.

Re: Player Editting in Live 16?

Yeah that's really sad news I know way more people personally who play online modes than edit but it should've been in the game by now going on three years. I never touched the editing options but it's nice to DL some custom rosters for a dynasty mode

Yea I'm strictly online but I feel for you offline guys, maybe it can be patched in.

[BizDevConglomerate]

Basic roster and player editing should be in the game man....there's honestly no excuses for it at this point...

Give me roster management over "swagging myself out" any day...

I agree 100%. No excuses for this. And for Live this would actually prolong their life and playability. Obviously they have not committed to being great now, but down the road. Therefore we get milked and have a reason to be excited about a staple feature in all other games( minus EA) to be added later. They have too much confidence in their ability and choice. I may want to use an existing player's model for my player, change his name, number etc, especially since they don't give all they hair options. But out of GP, as a consumer it should be available if I like it or not. I shouldn't have to say I" I wish it was there".

[BizDevConglomerate]

And the response : you can swag yourself out" is real next topic. Those are two separate feature's. How can you tell me to add clothing to a player, when I'm asking can I change his height and shooting style? LOLSMH

[McNulty]

I...don't understand. One year it's no Franchise, another year it's no sliders, this year it's no player editing? Call the game Pro Am Online 2016 and be done with it.
