I can't stand it. Yes you don't need it but your at a huge disadvantage. I don't say that as a bash. Just a positive for Live. Also live is solid online always and defense is much more responsive.. I just worry that there are other bugs they are hiding in live

This! "Sweat Equity". It's just like Madden 16 giving us Draft Champions. Some people, one particular person actually, keeps bringing up EA's past & how they were voted worst company in US. That was like 3-4 years ago if I'm not mistaken. It's good now that they're giving us options/modes that don't require you to spend money. Kudos EA.

As far as I understand it, synergy is there for things metrics can actually count: a player's percentage from the left corner, tendency to pull-up when driving left vs driving right, etc.

The roster editor's job then is to do everything else: speed, jumping, awareness/iq

Gender isn't the issue here .....I hope she does a very good job that is huge responsibility I look forward to see how these updates pan out ...I hope it's a daily thing similar to what the other game did with their rosters last year if we can have that kinda dedication I think the whole community would be OK with no editing for another year IT HAS TO BE IN NEXT YEAR IF NOT PATCHED IN THIS YEAR....Daily Accessories updates should be a must I know me and few other ppl wouldnt mind helping out in that regard

It's not a cut-scene as the outcome is not predetermined. It's just that once the tip is won, it goes to the PG of the team that won it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What? Ettore Menssia is the Spurs top assistant, followed by Udoh.

That's an absolutely disgraceful comment.

Now that that's out of the way, I liked MindFrame's questions from the stream. Thought those were really good and directed in the right way. I was a little disappointed with the overall answer about roster editing. While I respect wanting to "take responsibility" for how players are rated, that just closes off the game in a lot of areas that people enjoy. I know how hard people work on rosters, so it's a shame that Live doesn't provide people with that way to enjoy the game.

Overall, good interview, hoping for more info soon.
