NBA Live 10 Blog: New Faces, New DNA

[mrclutch]

Steph,

Best blog yet. I thought the whole DNA thing was a cute concept in last year's game but based on the fact that most of the teams played the same in Live 09 I can't see how it had any real affect on the gameplay.

Hears hoping that your teams full year of development will allow the DNA to do it's thing.

Hey steph, when u say yall are changing the whole rating system are yall gonna have different ratings for different abilities to make the overall rating. Like a crossover dribble rating, rebounding rating, clutch rating etc. so every player aint just the same. One more question will the stars like kobe, lebron, wade etc. play different from the average players and will they be able to take over a game when needen??
Can yall add wade jumping on the annoucer table and saying this is my house when i hit a game winner cause im a beast with wade and that would just hype my up sooooo bad seeing my boy do that after a big shot to win the game or go in overtime :-)

I feel like I already read that same exact post.

Also, question for Mike, what made you switch over to EA from 2k?

That was a cool blog. It was cool to see how guys tendencies effects the teams tendencies.

there were a number of reasons, both professional and personal. I could write a short book on how everything went down and why I decided to make the switch, but I wouldn't want to bore you guys with the details.

I'm sure everyone here would not be bored with the details...

Though I'm sure it's not something you want splattered all over the net.

(At least not until the book is in print.)

:P

I think the coaching styles will be somewhat reflected in the DNA...

Send LeBron to the (7 seconds or less) Knicks...
The coach runs different plays to the former coach.

Therefore, LeBrons DNA/shot percentages/rating changes to reflect that.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I will be interested to see what you are going to do with regards to offensive pace of different teams. Is there any DNA stuff that reflects this?

This DNA stuff sounds brilliant, but what about the people who only play offline? Does this mean we have to rely on the standard rating system?

You mean for people who never have their XBOX / PS3 connected? Then you play with the shipped Dynamic DNA and it doesn't update daily like if your XBOX / PS3 were connected.
