Apparently NBA Live is getting the former lead gameplay designer for the NBA 2K games to work on the NBA live gameplay. Will this game be getting the same supposed overhaul that NBA Live is getting in gameplay?

I hope they do. If NCAA Basketball and EA is smart they'll follow the same path they did with NBA Live.

Well I hope so too, but lets just hope for now that they even get NBA Live right.

The 2K developers switched sides in 2007 and NCAA borrowed Live's gameplay engine in 09. I'm sure that NCAA and Live will play very similar.

Mike (lead Live Gameplay producer) told me that they looked at some of the things that were done well in NCAA and used it to improve Live. So it sounds like they do work closley to make both games as good as they can be.

You should be pleased.

Last year (09) NCAA moved over to the NBA Live gameplay engine. Both gameplay teams work closely together throughout the year on development and making the two games unique. Mike Wang and Jeff Antwi (Live gameplay producers) along with Novell Thomas (NCAA gameplay producer) have really stepped up everything across the board with gameplay for 10. It really plays and feels like a different game this year.

Hey Jab, any word on whether or not importing draft classes will be in 10? I think spending $60 on an NCAA game that doesn't allow you to take your draft classes from a dynasty and put them in Live is a waste of money. That feature will determine whether or not EA gets my money for NCAA this year...much like this year lol.

It's still too early for me to be talking '10 specifically. When marketing/PR allows us to I will be able to answer questions like this.
