EA can talk all they want about DNA. I will belive it when I actually see gameplay affected by this.

I will hold all opinions until I here some really in depth gameplay opinions. Not sure how it will apply to a franchise mode. Ea is known for making big promises and not delivering so I will wait and see. But I will 1 example ... lets say there is a big trade and now the team and player dyanmics change. DNA would adjust for that and player tendencies would not. Just going off what I have read. Not really forming any opinions at this time but from a marketing standpoint to us gamers here at OS somehting like DNA just sounds like something I have been waiting for.

True

I wouldn't be surprised if 2k incorporates something similar, not because they are "copying" but because it's a next step to take.

Similar to all pro football and madden, both had player "weapons" with different implementations but neither one really copied the other. Just a next step for the game with two different interpretations

Again EA has a history of announcing things and not delivering so let's see what happens. I love 2k b-ball, I just think EA landed a strong first blow that's all.

I agree the DNA thing is sick and is the reason I'll get both games this year if Lives animations improve.

Like when Gasol went from a pick n roll player to a post-up player and now w/ Bynum back it will switch to whatever he plays now.

2k9 will have it in the gameplay most likely but that 365 DNA is a helluva feature

not on ur jock or nuttin but i cant find a better way to put "sim" than what u 2 said but dont u think mentality icon/tendencies would help the "sim experience"? like a "spot-up shooter icon/ tendency", a "3 shot-taker", "drive & finish", "drive & pass", "perimiter passer", "high-post passer", "high-post scorer", "back-to-basket-strong finisher", "back-to-basket-finesse-finisher", "shoot-off-the-dribble", "shoots contested shots", "waits for open shot" and so on & so forth.... maybe even allow them to have multiple icon/tendencies based on star power kinda like 2k ALL PRO FOOTBALL

i put this in another thread.
