NBA Live 09 Community Day Q&A

[Andrew]

another question do u have to have xbox live gold membership to do nba live 365 update? because last year i couldnt downlload roster cause i didnt have gold membership

We were told that a Silver membership would be sufficient.

Will nba live 365 also update a player's appearance?

I think the longterm goal is to update accessories and such. Some roster updates might add new players with a generic face which will be corrected in later updates but apart from that I don't think they're looking to do any face updates.

Andrew, can you confirm that the Dynasty Mode will be locked to 82-games this year? And also, I've noticed that in the videos when the player is setting up a pick-and-roll (or maybe a sig. play) they tap their heads. Is this the same for every NBA team or do each team have a special way of setting it up?

[Andrew]

I'll double-check the situation with the number of games but I'm pretty sure it's still locked to 82. I haven't seen every team setting up a pick and roll so I can't comment on the signals.

yo andrew can u edit players go to moves, shots, dunks packages
any secerts in dynasty mode there hiding
i noticed the shorts jumped over the players knees in the game and it looked cool
did theychange the hairstyles in create a player mode

[Andrew]

You can't edit them but you can assign them to a created player. I don't believe there are any new hairstyles or other new additions to Create-a-Player (I believe I've answered that one already). Everything I know about Dynasty Mode, at least as of the build I played, was included in my report.

hey andrew wat do u mean by suficient?

[Andrew]

All you need is a Silver membership, as far as I've been told.

[Ryan=Kool]

can u post a vid of lebron's new shot

[Andrew]

No, because I don't have one.

[Ryan=Kool]

andrew one more quick question sorry to bother u
will u ever get bored of nba live 09?

[Andrew]

Me personally or gamers in general? Either way, I can't really answer that question.

[Bodz]

It's like asking if we'll ever get bored of playing NBA Live...

[Andrew]

I don't know, will you? That's not really something I can answer, that's up to each individual gamer.

[Bodz]

I have to say every year when EA releases a new Live, there's always something different to look forward (except for 08 whereby the glitches were just too many to overlook and despite the fact we do complain EA ain't doing enuff or listening to our feedbacks); enough to keep us hooked for a while.

Also with the wonderful community here that make great patches, roster updates and improved AIACT (thanks guys!), it'll never feel like boredom will ever set in. We get to play with new draftees/rookies and 25 years for dynasty mode.. Wow!!!

We'll have to see with NBA Live 09 since patching won't be an option. However, between Dynasty Mode, the FIBA tournament, Be a Pro, the NBA Academy (which has some unlockable advanced drills), All-Star Weekend and online play there'll be a fair amount of features that have the potential to hold people's interest throughout the year. I wouldn't suggest that will be the case for everyone though.

[Ryan=Kool]

hey will teams have two players that have the same number on it? dat was a problem in nba live 08

[Andrew]

It will probably happen from time to time.

[The X]

Don't know if you've answered it already & sorry if you have, but will there be an option of us being able to create our own country (i.e. New Zealand) in FIBA mode?!? Would be nice option for us people that missed out. Otherwise, if I get the game, Australia it will be. Maybe I could add Sean Marks to the team

[Andrew]

Unfortunately not, there's no custom team option in the game and unfortunately it doesn't look like we can edit the FIBA or All-Star rosters, aside from reordering the lineups and editing the players already on the roster.

is the nba logo on the headband in the middle of lebron's forhead?
2k8 made every player look like themselves and im hoping live can do dat to

Sorry, I can't answer questions like that. I didn't exactly have time to go through every player and jot down details like that, otherwise I wouldn't have had any time to check out gameplay, Dynasty Mode etc.

[Ryan=Kool]

for the live 09 demo after we play a game do u think it will boot us back to the xbox dashboard? and will it be longer than 2 min?

[Andrew]

It probably will exit to the dashboard after it finishes and I'd be surprised if we get more than one half consisting of two minute quarters.
