NBA Live 09 will have ground-breaking feature

As the speculation over NHL 09′s “massive” online feature that has “never been seen in a sports game before” continues, word comes that NBA Live 09 will apparently deliver something on the same scale. According to Peter Moore in his latest blog entry, the game will have the most ground-breaking feature of any EA Sports release this year.

I’m not surprised that NBA LIVE, which jumped 15 points in review scores a year ago, has the most ground-breaking feature from our lineup this year and we’ll unveil it next month at E3.

This year E3 takes place July 15th-17th, though EA’s press conference is scheduled for Monday July 14th at 3pm PT. This feature then will likely be revealed during the press conference.

With the inclusion of Be A Pro mode in NHL it seems to be a strong possibility that NBA Live will get its own Superstar type mode. However that then wouldn’t qualify as the “ground-breaking feature”. The most common response for what NHL’s might be is a MMO type mode with your Be A Pro player. We don’t know whether NBA Live’s is online related or not, but any guesses as to what this new feature could be or thoughts on what you would like it to be?

If they attempt to turn it into an MMO, then, well, sports gaming just isn’t what it used to be. Scrap the RPG, scrapb the MMO, lets play sports.

these guys never deliver. they always tout some ground breaking whatever. Please impress me EA Live. I think 2003 was the last live I liked and I’ve played them all, 2K has just had the better basketball product every year. Face mapping? Online Season/Franchise? Whatever.

Online franchise with a group of team play would be pretty cool, and if it tracked everyones individual stats..it would have to be rewarding though so people would do it..like have your own profile where you can get like All-Star games, MVP, Player of Month awards…also as you play farther and have better games you should be able to like buy new accessories and edit your own player lol

Who gives a shhh, Peter Moore….

I, Kyle McKinnley, certainly does not.

Fix the gameplay, then maybe we can talk. Not that we ever would, but I’m just saying…

For the record, I will play College Hoops 2k8 for the next 5 years if I have to. Not that anyone gives a flying rats ass, but I know many do agree…

EA’s basketball products are absolute crap. Not that this is news to anyone. It’s unbelievable how great EA’s basketball games were back in the day on SNES, Genesis, and PS one. I’m talking about Lakers vs Celtics, NBA Showdown, NBA Live 95, and NBA Live 2000 people.

Seriously, like WTF happened to EA basketball games?? They f’n suck goat balls.

That link is for all of you that care about basketball games that don’t suck.

NBA LIVE and PASTA PADRE are both SHADY, DISSAPOINTING and QUESTIONABLE at BEST.

LIVE IS ALL ABOUT GIMMICKS(This coming from a hardcore live fan turned NBA 2k advocate during the 07′ edition of both games) ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY, THEY DONT CARE IF THEY’RE GAME IS GOOD, THEY CARE IF YOU BUY IT. WHATEVER NEW FEATURE THEY HAVE WILL STILL PALE IN COMPARISSION TO EVERYTHING THATS WRONG WITH THEIR LIVE FRANCHISE. SAVE YOURSELF THE 20 DOLLARS YOU WILL LOSE ONCE YOU TRADE IT BACK TO GAME STOP FOR NBA 2K9.

AND ANOTHER THING, ALL OF YOU DOUCHEBAGS THATS JERK IT TO LIVE’S PLAYER MODELS AND SO CALLED BETTER GRAPHICS ARE RETARTED. THEY LOOK DECENT AS SNAPSHOTS AND ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS IN MOTION. LIKE SKINNY ROBOTS WITH CARDBOARD SHORTS THAT LACK FLUIDITY. I COULD BE WRONG BUT IM PRETTY SURE 100 PERCENT OF THE GAME IS PLAYED IN MOTION…IDIOTS.

SORRY IF I SOUND BITTER, I JUST CANT BELEIVE “PAYROLL PASTA” IS ADVERTISING FOR NBA LIVE FOR A 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR. YOU’RE REALLY HURTING YOUR CREDIBILTY WITH THE GAMING COMMUNITY RAVIOLI PADRE. I HOPE EA GETS YOU SOME FREE KNEE PADS TO GO ALONG WITH THAT PAPER WEIGHT THEY MARKET AS A GAME.

Best new ground-breaking feature I would like is:

(pause for suspense)

A LOWER PRICE. We buy the game every year just to have basically a revised roster. It’s not that costly to produce a CD.

Dr. Logic, do not be angry about RAVIOLI PADRE (great nick-name), it is a job he is doing, it can be boring and tough to play NBA live instead of 2k (but I have got the feeling, if Padre is really a hardcore NBA gamer, he plays with 2k8 all the time, in secrecy, under cover).
It is strange to see, how many dissappointed, angry, flustrated LIVE fans are even here, who do not believe to EA anymore after those many lies about the “next ground-breaking” NBA game. I would rather play with Live 96, than Live 08, it was so much more fun. How can that be?

Is the new feature CPU substitutions? Are they going to have that this year? Sorry for the sarcasm, but I foolishly bought NBA Live 07 and I’m still bitter.

Seriously though, if EA wants to pique my interest I wouldn’t mind seeing a smattering of European and U.S. minor leagues where you can not only have them incorporated in franchise by themselves, but if your playing as an NBA team you can monitor progress and try to sign guys from those teams.

The gameplay wasn’t that bad, but it still wasn’t close to 2k8. It wasn’t game-breaking and somewhat engaging.

So they already did the NBA academy and they already put up a vid about NBA Live 365 where it updates the roseters evry day like if a player has a cold or hot streak. I want a summer league mode and the superstar mode is alreday in the NBA 06,07, and 08 series so even if they put that in there I hop e they make better than NBA 08′s
