NBA Live Synergy Interview

Posted September 18th, 2008 at 1:51 pm

IGN conducted thorough interview with Garrick Barr the CEO and founder of Synergy Sports Technology. This is the company that provides a massive amount of data to NBA teams and now will be streaming that data to NBA Live on a daily basis beginning this year and beyond. The interview goes into great detail on what the company does and how that will enhance the experience for those who play Live. You can check out the interview here.

Also an update on the NBA Live 09 demo for the PS3 as Sony did not post the demo today in their weekly update. So now the release is expected to be next Thursday. Bummer for those who haven’t been able to try it out on a 360 as there are still no demos for any of the basketball games on the PS3 side.
