NBA Live 09 Secret Feature Revealed

Posted July 14th, 2008 at 9:57 am

The San Jose Mercury News has leaked the first details on the secret feature for NBA Live 09 that will be officially announced at the EA press conference this afternoon. I will wait until after that announcement is made before posting more specifics on what it is all about along with my personal thoughts. As stated in my hands-on the feature was presented for literally two hours so it is much more in-depth than just a single paragraph can describe. Until then you can take in the following information.

EA plans to announce today that the latest version of its “NBA Live” game will include a constantly updated artificial intelligence.

Whenever users log on to the game, the title will connect to the Internet to download data from the latest NBA games, including such details as whether a player like Kobe Bryant is taking more shots from the left or the right side of the floor and his relative success from each spot. The game will use such information to affect how the virtual Kobe Bryant plays in “NBA Live” and how he is guarded.

All you guys talking crap about Pasta should knock it off. 1st of all this thread isn’t even about NCAA 09 it’s about NBA Live’s feature. 2nd, you guys are going to ruin it for us all in the future. Pasta said that he does this site just as a hobby so it’s not like he works for EA or like he’s getting paid to have this site up. He was kind enough to provide the rosters & all of this info so how about growing up and showing some respect. Nobody’s perfect guys & it’s not that serious.

NBA rewind??

“which will allow players to play any game that happened between two teams for this last year’s season as well as the upcoming year’s season with the way that each player was performing at that point in time. Not only will you be able to return to one of these previous games and attempt to see if you could have played the game better than it happened in real life, you’ll be able to see just how the team developed or diminished across the entire season and see if you can rewrite history. What’s more, the stats and gameplay elements that happen in real life will be translated for players, so if Baron Davis, Kobe Bryant and Rip Hamilton get injured, the game will reflect the shift in the Clippers, Lakers and Pistons lineups with the next update.”

He may not work directly for EA but if you don’t think he is a bit of a EA fanboy, you are blind. Sure Pasta is critical of EA at times, but the majority of his articles and info slant in favor of EA and their products.

I had to go through 9 pages of posts to find one article on a non-EA game other than the UFC one. Otherwise, there is more or less an EA article every day.

You will notice he doesn’t even have the roster issue promently featured on his site.

My point is there’s a way to go about it. Bashing him on his own site definately isn’t the way to do it. How about asking him in a respectful way instead of acting like 12 year olds & bashing him. You’re right, Pasta seems to preview a lot of EA games but maybe that’s because EA grants him a lot of access to early material. I’m sure if EA invited you to their studios to preview a game most of us would jump all over it. As far as the roster issues, I’m sure he’s investigating that as we speak. The game isn’t even officially out yet. How about everybody calm down & be patient. Pasta is probably hesitant to give us info now because a lot of people are bashing him. I don’t always agree with everything Pasta says but I do appreciate this site for the info so lets not ruin it for us all.

because of all the news that has come out on NBA 2K9? lol seriously, its not like there has been news for sports games other than the ea ones lately. there has been nothing on nba or nhl 2k9 since the last time pasta had stories about them. not sure if you want him to just fabricate stories on them? hes mentioned other games that will be at e3 this week so id expect he’ll cover those depending on what comes out of it.

Feel free to show me where he mentions a non-ea game, other than UFC.

It is his site, he can cover what he wants. I’m not bashing him. Just saying he does it with an EA tint to his eyes.

Sounds great if they can get it work perfectly….Knowing EA’s track record, I find that highly doubtful.
