Notes: shows a little NBA Academy footage and Miami vs. Cavs footage.


Enjoy!

Nice find... . Saw the footage on the Training Academy and it looks damn good! Presentation seem to have improve as well judging from the Cavs and Heat game opening footage;

Thanks for the heads up.

I won't be using that "Live 365" cause it will effect my player tweaks.

They really should have separated the DNA and the actual ratings, but I know it would be lot of work. They should give people the option to download the actual plays or different plays to incorporate into the game.

They could base the tendencies on that. . .UGH lol. I'll see where it goes, I doubt i'm gonna use it, cause to me the game still looks a bit fast

You can still change the sliders for making the game slower, as it has nothing to do with DNA, actual ratings or tendencies.

Paul Pierce's dribbling chain in the academy is so smooth. Good job.
But physical collision is so weak still. Even it's started mode, it is way too easy to get inside through 4-5 defenders.

Well last year, the teams didn't sprint unless the game was turned up all the way. And in order to make the game run smoother, you had to tweak the actual player ratings (Speed, Quickness, and acceleration) not just the speed of the game slider.

So now since the DNA thing will effect the actual player ratings, I would have to go back after every update and tweak the roster ratings again. . .that's assuming the ratings effect the smoothness of the animations. It's A LOT of work.

if you don't know what I'm talking about, check my videos at youtube.com/ThaLiveKing. And tell me if you don't see a difference. Cause you know, NBA Live 09 will need some tweaking. It always does

i like when the speeds fast in nba live i hate when the game speed is slow

I remember hearing that you can use the updated DNA, or the old one(your edited one). I'm sure you can also choose whether to update the player DNA or not. They also added global rating edits, so you can adjust the entire league on the fly, which is especially good for people like you and playmakers who like to make global edits to player's ratings.

Right, guess thats not my expertise cause I was player 2K9 not Live...

I'm sure you can also choose whether to update the player DNA or not.

You can indeed, or so we were told. And as you said, global editing will help if it's just a matter of increasing or decreasing everyone's speed and quickness ratings by x, or whatever.

So you mean I won't have to go through every team and edit the player ratings? OH MAN, That would be Sooo NICE!!
