NBA Live 365 and Dynamic DNA: Four Months Later

[23]

The feature is great as the article stated. Guys on here being downers are killing me.

First of all we didnt even know if the feature would work and had staunch reservations against it because it is EA afterall right? I know I did

The first year of a feature like this and you want the entire system to be fully integrated... while I understand, it is also completely unrealistic.

I have to agree with CV here, I dont care what company it is... if you're a sports gamer first instead of a company loyalist, there is no way you lose out on something like this. It truly is the future, and can be a measuring stick standard for what it is.

That's the thing Dre, a lot of people here have company based loyalties. I can understand it. EA has a bad history / some people will never get over Madden and NFL 2K. Completely understandable.

But ultimately we are sportsgamers and it's nice to see genuine innovation and see things evolving. I didn't pay hundreds of $ for my TV / PS3 / Hi speed internet etc etc so that I could annually sit down and play the same basketball game over and over. I want to see new technology that takes advantages of what these higher end systems can do / new ideas / new features.

And DNA is a hell of a good step forward.

I like the idea of dynamic DNA, but the way the author in this article describes the feature kind of makes the game feel scripted.
what good is it if you know Lebron will drop 50 on you at MSG.

I agree with the author about the ability to carry this feature into a Dynasty mode,even during a fantasy drafted association. I think this would make the feature more tactical.

It's not scripted at all...

You just know that a player will attack that game...

If you defend / bring doubles...he'll pass or miss. It's up to you to try and stop what happened in the real NBA / you try and stop him getting 50.

The feature is really neat but I simply pointed out that it's under utilized when you can't merge them in with franchise data. No sports game has allowed this to date so its the logical next step and would make this feature SO much better.

I don't see how my comment was "killing you". It's simply my honest opinion and I spoke my mind on a message board. Shocking that comments and message boards are used for such things. I guess honesty is being a downer and frowned upon just because you disagree?

can somebady explain the difference btwn the 365 updates and the 2k updates. is it just daily vs. weekly?

im prety happy about how 2k sets up their although it could be a lil quicker ...but im not complaining at all!

Hey EA I think the whole idea of DNA is going 2 change the sports game world im sick of playing game and the player whatever the sport play different than they do in real life NCAA college football can be the 1 who benefits most from this

[nexdawg]

Of all the sports games i've played maybe of all time nba live 09 feel the realest jump shooter shoot,and driver drive the daily update roster isnt as big of a deal 2 me as the dna feature is even with the ability 2 use it during franchise mode 2 have player with an accurate mindset is genius!

While cool in concept, adjusting how an entire team plays based on one game doesn't make sense to me. Just because one guy went off the night before has no affect on how the next game will go due to matchups, foul troubles whatever. Maybe Live 365 already does it but i would think weekly attribute tweaks rather than daily makes much more sense to me, i don't wanna see a team keep going to Zaza Pachulia just because he put up a 20-10 night

Again i haven't spent a lot of time if any with this feature so i'm not sure how drastically the attribute changes affect the gameplay but it seems a big extreme to me

PS. It's not even EA doing the DNA anyways, it's a third party company that provides all the data, EA just provides the computer program (NBA Live) to simulate the logarithms with a byproduct that in this case is a video game
