Ground Breaking Feature

Fri Jul 11, 2008 2:28 pm

what do u guys think it is??

i doubt its this but maybe a olympic fiba thing in dynasty. why do u think they added so many teams? just to play tourny?

anyway... the olympic fiba thing. it should be incorperated with dynasty. after the season, u will be asked if u want to be the head coach of usa or maybe another team depending on ur coaching rating which goes up after championships and goood seasons.

u will then get a pool of players and pick ur team. with the new nba academy u can work wit ur team with international drills
every 4 year will be the olympics and the fiba thing and qualifiers and stuff like that

this would be sweet and add some depth to the dynasty mode. i still wonder why they added so many fiba teams.

That would be pretty cool. I'd love to be the coach of my national team. xD

Ground-breaking? maybe even MORE PG domination. It is ground-breaking, as it would upset every EA fan. Changes in the industry? Yeah, everybody would buy 2K, no more EA. But thats just my theory. I hope this feature is actually worth all this hype around it. Is it, Andrew?

I hope that isn't about online, I want to affect the gameplay.

Fri Jul 11, 2008 3:26 pm

i just keep wondering the point of the fiba teams. it is a great little addition but why bother if u wouldnt put it into the dyansty. its like puting allstar weekend as a seperate mode instead of having it in dynasty. (BTW allstar weekend sucks in live)

and i sure hope that this feature isnt online

yes!!!!!!!! :headbang:

I would be happier if the so called ground breaking feature is connected to the gameplay!

If it works out as planned then it's definitely going to be worth it in my book.

Nice Answer because I know that are you not supposed to talk about Groundbreaking. :)

Sat Jul 12, 2008 2:11 am

Chances are, it will probably be something worthwhile. I still have my fingers crossed that it is not online related.

Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:55 am

I just hope that its not about online I want it in Dynasty or Gameplay.

Well we've waited so long, we might wait just a little more..

According to Wikipedia, "The next E3 is set for July 14-17".

EA said that they would announce it somewhere around E3 so, we might hear it even tomorrow...

Sat Jul 12, 2008 11:07 am

I'm under the impression it will be July 14th but if not, sometime during E3.

Sat Jul 12, 2008 11:31 am

here are some things I hope it is


1) trade more than 3 people- I would like to be able to trade six players.


2) 3 team trade


3) better generated rookies- pray these cut down on the undersized shooting guard to maybe no more than 4 per draft.

4) multiplayer dynasty mode even though I read that this won't be the feature

5) create a team- I would like to be able to add up to six more teams in the league and even in dynasty mode.

Daily updates?

"From EA Canada, NBA LIVE 09 has fundamentally shifted the way gamers look at sports simulation games and emulates - with absolute precision - an NBA player based on last night, not last season."

And what from what Andrew said or didnt say, daily roster update could be it.

Sat Jul 12, 2008 6:35 pm

I hope that this groundbreaking feature satisfies casual nba live gamer like me. Not just those intellects.. :?

Sat Jul 12, 2008 8:41 pm

Well, would a casual Live gamer like to play online with a player who is rated based on how he is playing during the current nba season or based on his overall performance of the previous season?

Why are WNBA players included in motion capture?(according to the contest that Andrew wrote about )

Sun Jul 13, 2008 6:36 pm

i knew it wnba players are in the game

Sun Jul 13, 2008 7:34 pm

I didn't see them anywhere in the Xbox 360 version but I believe they've been confirmed for the Wii version.

Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:29 am

WNBA games.......and NBA vs WNBA games.

Whatever i is its not gonna be that ground breaking. The Online team thing was already very nice i think its something they will take to another level. Or try to.

Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:46 pm

I beg to differ, but it's probably not what a lot of people are expecting or may be hoping for so I'm sure there will be people who won't be too excited about it, just as some people aren't concerned with online play and others aren't interested in Dynasty Mode.

Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:36 pm

I will be excited when you can talk about this ground breaking feature. If it's saving during the off season I will be super happy.

Mon Jul 14, 2008 6:26 pm

But saving during offseason isn't really a groundbreaking feature. I really do not understand how hard it is to implement it.

I predict something like a better mod toolbase for the community. Something like those in The Sims. Haha.. Then we'll be able to mod entire arenas/courts to our liking, and share them with one another.

Yeah they really should add saving during off-season. And saving during games!!

I really like the idea of being able to mod arenas too (Y) ... If only they would implement it..
