Rewind & Live 365 Not for Franchise?

[JackB]

What's the point of having this great feature if you can't use it while you play out a season?
Also, whenever I start a season, that will be my Live 365 DNA for that whole season? So now I have to wait until a few month's of data are in so I have playable DNA? Am I missing something here? What's the point? Replaying the "Rewind" games are fun, but you can only do them as "exhibition" games? I don't get it?

Oh this has only been discussed in about 500 different threads.

Well u can't have to realities influencing each other. Basically if Lebron is on a hot streak in real life but in YOUR season he's been struggling against some good defences he shouldn't have a hot streak going all of the sudden. Or like Parker went off for 55 the other night but lets say in MY season I can't hit the broad side of a barn with him I should not see a spike in certain ratings/tendencies, if anything I SHOULD see a decrease. The real solution is taking whatever DNA u last downloaded into dynasty and seeing it evolve from there like it should. As it stands now u only take the DNA u last downloaded and I believe it stays the same. They are working on it "evolving" for next year(Live 2010) Oh and yes I'm going to wait about a month to start a dynasty so I get accurate up to date stuff. I also want to see if there are any more blockbuster trades. Inevitably I will miss some trades at the trade deadline but we'll see if I start my dynasty over.

Live 365 and Rewind was intended for PLAY NOW and ONLINE.

Franchise is it's own separate deal. Since that uses it's own string of changing DNA.

Having the 2 of them play together is impossible unless EA Canada were to come up with a niffty mode that allowed there to be a LIVE Season mode where you can only play up the the game that's been played in real life, but in theory you could use the 365 updates.

I dont have this game but am considering it for Christmas but...how often do they update the regular rosters without 365? Do they have normal roster updates or is it just the 365 updates?

Roster and DNA tendencies are updated every day of the regular season (they usualy come in the wee hours of the morning). Hot & cold streaks are updated weekly.
