NBA Live 09 will have ground-breaking feature

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

I hope by ground breaking they mean it will be better than NBA2K9

Doc Log -

1) Caps Lock is your friend.
2) This is a blog. Pasta Padre has had items for the College Hoops franchise as well.

If you don't like a game he is discussing, don't read it.

"RETARTED"

Neat, so I take it you didn't graduate high school.

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.

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.

Im waiting and waiting for live to get it togther...i liked the 2k series...but actually was dissapointed with the game last year..thought it was the same game as 07, but atleast it was playable cuz i heard live was not....as soon as live gets its gameplay as good as its graphics...im in. Go Bucks..skiles for mayor

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

Never deliver?

Online Team Play is one of the coolest feautures I could have ever imagined up

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.

Just make this year's game as fun as Live 96 for the Genesis and we'll call it even.....

Ok First Person Superstar would be fail and I would cry lol

what if its superstar mode first person..

it's hype all hype they got people talking about there crappy games by saying stuff like this. OMG don't listen the game will still suck

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.

Wow, Bux what crawled in your panties and got them in a bunch.

Having a Superstar mode would be soooooo great

Honestly I could see myself never putting the controller down if that happened.

Hey why not a Tim Donaghy career mode, EA is has always been good at cheating us out of a honest game.

Maybe it is Tim Donaghy career mode.

Is this feature "functional gameplay" LOL

I think the hype machine is dead for me. Last year I really bought into it and believed in EA's NBA live until I sat down and played it. I don't play online so it's all about AI for me which EA can't seem to figure out in live. So maybe the ground breaking new feature is rebounding and more realistic AI.

I'm sure I'll by it as a gesture of hope but I won't hold my breath.

Give me 2K's game play with NBA Live graphics, now thats ground breaking!

the groundbreaker feature will be online franchise... then it will be taken away.

Im telling you, Pasta Payola is the MAN!!!! LOL
Dude is a EA robot LOL, that game was 30 bux in a month LOL...
The court looked nice at least, but the players all looked like Manute Bol.

NBA should grant 2K a exclusive, then he and his dad Peter will cry foul.

Boom, Pow, Bing!

Maybe and online franchise. So its continuous season with drafting rookies and signing free agents. I was hoping 2k would do that but if Live could do that they could help there sales.

This Peter Moore guy's an old shoe saleman, who will tell you the shirt on his back is "ground-breaking" if he wants you to buy it. Given EA's history, and I've been buying Madden and NHL since 1991, I'll believe it's ground-breaking when I see it, not when Peter and Pasta tell me it will be.

well the online team play was really fun in 08 and as long as they made that even better ill be happy. what a new feature could be i have no idea

Live hasn't been fun/or good since it was on PS1, although 2004 was pretty fun for ps2.

Who cares about the groundbreaking feature, the game is still going to suck.

Wow, the EA hype machine is in full-effect. What could they possibly do that hasn't been seen in a sports game before. Who thinks that no matter what it is, EA will stink it up?

My bet for this and NHL is something like being able to play as one player on a team with your friends and go through a season together. Both games are basically 5 on 5 (6 if you include the goalie), so it sort of relates. Each person controls one player/position and you all progress together through a season.

It won't be online and it won't be a dynasty/franchise mode, just a single season.

I bought NBA live for the PS2 when it came out. When I got my PS3 I bought NBA 2K8 just to try something new, and I think I'm a 2K guy now. I mostly play Dynasty/Franchise mode, and I thought that NBA Live has gotten worse and worse with this feature each year lately. So unless this new feature is an improved Dynasty mode (that gets rid of the stupid PDA feature), I'm probably going with NBA 2K9.

I thought NHL had the most groundbreaking feature never before seen in a video game. Whatever feature this is will surely be the most groundbreaking feature ever.....................until they unveil their plans for Tiger Woods 09, which would be the most groundbreaking until they unveil FIFA.

Maybe it'll be the ability to fix games and call fouls late in the fourth quarter so your favorite team can win.

I predict...the addition of HORSE.

I do hope it is spectator mode, especially for NHL. I also think it's funny all this talk about, "Not falling for it again." A game comes out, there's coverage of it all over the internet, you learn about its features, you read the reviews and maybe you give it a rent. Then you make your decision. It's not like you are in 1983 where you have to buy the game before you make the judgment.

I don't care Live and 2k have gotten stale....Live haven't gotten where it needs to be and 2k is hardly improving I owned 2k8 and I swear it look and feel like 2k7......so Im skipping NBA titles this year and I plan on moving that money to that TNA iMPACT! game

Maybe it is being able to edit everything on the player this year.
Maybe they added more features in the editor

maybe it will be if no one buys live this yr they'll quit making them...this coming from a guy who "used to" only buy live...the 2k series sh*ts on live

ON SECOND HAND WHAT IF YOU COULD PLAY PEOPLE ON OTHER SYSTEMS DOUBT IT THOUGH LOL!

NOT FALLING FOR THIS CRAP AGAIN JUST LIKE LAST YEARS BIG ANNOUNCMENT WAS SOME DUM JERSEY PLOY I DONT BELIEVE IT THEY ALWAYS TRY TO OVERHYPE THERE GAMES IT WILL PROBABLY BE SOMETHING DUM LIKE SUPERSTAR MODE NOTHING WORTH WAITING FOR E3 I CAN ASSURE YOU!
