Re: NBA Live 09 Updated Hands-On

I'm just going to post some of the best questions and answers today, and then Monday a podcast should be up where I spoke about the game a bit.

Alright sounds great, will be staying around for that.

Seems like we're having some publishing snafus today, so stuff might be delayed.

Is this review for the ps2 really? Or is that a mess-up?

No. What happens with our database is when you select a title it lists all the consoles it is going to be on. But it only puts one at the top, so sometimes it says PS2 or NDS (which is Nintendo DS) but it doesn't mean the preview is for that version.

Hey Chase, Great review!! As for OKC, what was the teams name? Or was it a generic OKC team with incorrect jerseys?

Hmmmm I think it was just Oklahoma City Oklahoma City. The NBA isn't really going to let them use anything else but the city from what I understand. And they are generic jerseys since obviously the Thunder haven't revealed the real jerseys yet.

Thanks so much! Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least we know now! Man that's tacky!

It sounds more to me like EA is caught in a rebuilding phase for Live much like 2k is starting this year with NHL2k9. The hate around OS these days is to such a level of rediculousness its not even funny. Both companies are capable of putting out high quality sports games, get past whose name is on the box and just enjoy the damn games already people.

I thought is was a great write up and while the game may not be as good as the comp just yet, it is heading in the right direction. I will at least rent the game to see how it plays and hopefully we are heading towards having 2 great games of basketball. Realm your kidding right? You are king of starting the 2k EA wars. Your time spent in the 2k forums is 99 percent negative but hey, just my observation.

I don't believe it can, at least according to the 2K guys.

Was 2k speaking for themselves? Or EA as well? Remember how Pat Riley and Don Nelson have been patched in in the past? And the Energy Solutions center in Utah from the Delta center when it changed, I dont see why they cant patch this as well. Oh and 1 more thing, during the all-star game this year, Adidas released a free downloadable patch for the actual All-Star Jerseys.

It has something to do with Microsoft more so than they can't do it. They could do it, just there are barriers due to how content is able to make it into games due to tight restrictions by Microsoft.
