Told you guys I'm worried about sliders. Things were promised would be in the game n still aren't.

Sliders are definitely in the game.

Re: No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

Disappointing news and I won't buy because of this, but I'm sure Pro-Am and online play is a much bigger selling point to the general gaming community than roster editing. I think our community would be happy with that over Pro-Am, but we're just a minority of gamers.

Also, before y'all shade the Devs too much, I posted this in a Madden thread a while back, still relevant.

Taken from a former developer onreddit a few weeks ago.

Good read, Thanks for posting.

Re: Player Editting in Live 16?

The highlighted part of your statement scares the hell out of me, because it is basically saying no one would buy a NBA game just for the NBA part of the game. Looking like my gaming days are numbered.

No, it means people don't necessarily buy the game for editing. It's big here, especially for the tweakers and what-not, but most people don't even go into those areas of the game.

It sucks that it's not available, and we have stressed the importance of it, but for whatever reason they haven't gotten it implemented yet. They've had other priorities. Which, again, isn't great if that's the only reason you buy these games, but I do think we all have to understand that people buy games for different reasons.

Me? I'm getting both games and I'll find something worthwhile in each of them, which hasn't been possible since Live 10

I hate using this word while we're here talking about video games that nobody is making anyone buy.

But.

This is unacceptable.

I guess all that means is simply not buying the game if that's what it means for you.

But my goodness, the amount of heat they took last year for this, then basically promising it would be in.

It's quite shocking. I dont want to hear anything about Synergy - it's been a failure for 2 yrs.

It's one of the key essential basic features in a sports game in 2015.

Yikes.

Come on guys. I understand that this community especially is known for their dedication to carefully look at sliders and tendencies and accessories to try and make these games play better.

But you guys are acting very poorly to keep this interaction with these devs at this level of involvement.

I guarantee that if they do release gameplay footage and it plays well you'll all be back on the hype train.

Let's see what they have as a game first.

I haven't played live since it came back out, I'm not a fanboy so don't think of if that way.

But Mr price and wtf have been very patient with us and answered more questions than the competition has at this point.

I'm still holding out for gameplay.

It's not a dealbreaker for me, I will still be buying the game day one because I believe they have made a good deal of improvements & advancements.

But I can't be mad at anyone whom this is a dealbreaker for. Customization is a very big thing for sports gamers and EA has once again underestimated its importance.

Re: Player Editting in Live 16?

For some reason these companies think everything wants to play these my player modes smh. im beyond livid! Guess it's another year of mut for me because I refuse to play dynasty without editing.

I don't know if EA ever mentioned anything about their mode usage rates in NBA Live 15, but in NBA 2K15's case, My Player has actually been their most-played mode by quite a bit for a few years now. That's why Visual Concepts has been going all out and completely rewriting their My Player story every year, and it's why they continue to spend big bucks on developing features like face-scanning and signing high-priced people like Spike Lee to work on the mode.

It's true that most people on OS still just want to play offline franchise with normal NBA teams (we've run tons of polls over the years, and those results haven't changed yet). But you have to remember that OS represents only a small percentage of the people who play sports games. Most of the people playing basketball games just want to see a virtual version of themselves putting up a triple double every night for their favorite NBA team.

Thanks for the update. The game went from being a probable purchase to an easy NO.

While there's no question MyPlayer\ Be a Pro modes are the dominant modes these days...



I just don't if THAT many of the 'create yourself, put your self on your favorite team' 'mix up the rosters, pit them against each other' etc etc guys are gone to warrant taking away that option..

Re: No NBA Player or Roster Editing in NBA Live 16 Confirmed

I think it's a generational thing. I just got into my player since Next Gen, and I have friends, my age, that don't touch it, but my nephew's (youngins), it's the only mode they play!

It reflects a generation of narcissistic, vain, and self-absorbed people in our society I'm kidding. I'd rather play the games as my favorite teams & players and have them look & play like they do in real life. I play the MyPlayer stuff for a month or two. But it sucks when you're done playing and realize you aren't the 6'4" gazelle that you created in a virtual world, lol. (Although I actually create myPlayer's using my actual height/weight.)

Could be right.

My younger nephews still create themselves, max themselves out and put themselves on the Cavs, lol. I just sit back like "how is this fun?" Haha

Where is jpdavis to make sense of all this?

[thatdudesheff]

At this point this is embarrassing, and totally unacceptable. 3 years of hearing maybe next year for one of the foundations of ANY sports game. The gameplay had better be DRAMATICALLY improved, or Live won't be able to make a comeback. This went from a day one puchase to an afterthought. I simply cannot believe the tomfoolery going on at EA Sports...

Hmm, that seems to me like that not even really a big deal.
