Will we have to pay for the DNA again this year?

I'd actually like it if the ratings where that spread apart, I think you'd really be able to see considerable differences between players. On the other hand there really isn't a huge difference in the quality of players in the NBA (not including the superstars like Kobe, Lebron, etc.). I still think it would be cool to go between like 1 and 99. Haha and I already know that a lot of you will disagree with this idea.
Thanks for the blog. Looking forward to Live 10.

i guess it'll be like last year...
if you buy a new copy of NBA Live it'll have a code inside...
but if you buy a used or rent you'll have to buy a new code if you want the DNA updates

Every time I login and check on this game, and read the NBA Live 10 Blog, I conclude this game has sooooo much potential.

I hope this DNA has an actual impact on gameplay. Furthermore, I hope the gameplay is stellar and that EA has listened to all the issues from last year that have been covered in reviews and product comparisons.

(You actually have a decent chance at pulling me from NBA 2k...if you all can deliver.)

Keep up the good work EA...I'm impressed with the work that you all are putting into NBA Live and Madden, and the communication you all are establishing with the community.

Very common misconception. If you buy the game used, yes, you'll have to pay for it.

Oh yah,Jose can't dunk...

If you're only playing offline you're probably playing in franchise mode anyway. Far as I know the real life DNA thing doesn't apply to franchise unless I misunderstood something somewhere. I thought the franchise mode DNA was based on the games you play because you'd be ahead of the actual season and what's going on in your games may not reflect what really happend. Like if you spent a whole game jacking up 3's with Kobe and the real one spent the whole game going to the rim.

Well there was tons of complaints when they did do that. It looked kind of bad actually. Pretty sure there was one player that was like 88 in 2K and 72 in Live. Just didn't feel right.
