Another Test For 365 and Insider

Posted November 16th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

What I previously labeled as the first test for NBA Live 09′s 365 feature and NBA 2K9′s Insider was the Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups trade. 2K9 got the trade completed first and should get credit for doing so. With the 365 feature updating only after a player has appeared with their new team that means 2K will be able to implement player movement faster than Live if they choose to do so.

The biggest story in the NBA this weekend was the emergence of an undrafted rookie for the Golden State Warriors. Anthony Morrow had 37 points and 11 rebounds in his first start. That point total broke the record for any undrafted player in their rookie season. Prior to playing the Clippers on Saturday, Morrow had averaged 7.7 points in the three other games he had appeared in.

NBA Live 09 currently has Morrow in and his DNA is reflective of his performance through his first three games, however 365 is still running a few days behind schedule so it doesn’t have Saturday’s performance factored in yet. He is listed as the starting PG for the team in the latest update. Obviously ratings changes will need to be considered (he is currently in as a 63 overall). As Morrow did not ship on the game the 365 feature added him in after appearing for the first time. That means his appearance and accessories can still use some tweaking such as receiving the orange headband.

As for NBA 2K9? Morrow isn’t even in the game. So that is something to monitor as far as how long it takes for Morrow to appear and how well he is represented. It seems that so far players being added in roster updates just take on all the characteristics of some other NBA player that was already in 2K9.

So while 2K Insider had the edge in implementing the trade faster it is clear that Live 365 is much more effective with adding new players in.

i dont think you are in the pocket of EA, but it is a joke how u do continue to try and find the pluses of Live and the negatives of 2k.

besides the sales figures post, you havent posted anything positive about 2k, despite the fact it is the superior game. and even in that post, you took a dig about the online problems. and that problem has been fixed to an extent, and to many (as proven by the comments on your own website) isnt that big of a deal.

you never reviewed 2k. at all. despite telling us that you were going to give 2k its coverage once you had the game. i dont care if you ‘rate’ the game or whatever, thats your preference, and i understand why. but to not even cover the game in total is insulting to your readers who value your opinion and doubt that you’re biased.

yes, EA is much better supplying you with their product pre-ship date, allowing you to analyze it, play it more, etc. so all those early posts about live are deserved. it had your attention, it was pre-release date, and you didnt have 2k, so all the information was relevant to us. but 2k has been out for over a month now. you should have plenty of time to give it ample play and provide us with your feedback and opinions.

basically the coverage since release has been extremely lopsided. plain and simple. and any positive 2k post seems to have negative spin or a dig, subliminally or not.

i just feel that considering the game is by almost all accounts the superior product, and factually, the much higher selling game, that there should be more coverage on it. more people have the game, more people like the game, it would be helpful to us if you actually talked about the game.

im not trying to come hard at you pasta. this is still an excellent site, i have it bookmarked, and im still an avid fan. but realisitically speaking, the nba coverage has truly seemed biased, and the shear number of posts has been completely lopsided. and as i said, based on the sales numbers, that shouldnt be the case.

Very well said. Thats exactly how i feel.

Excellent post.

Still waiting for those 2K9 Impressions, but Pasta keeps dodging the question. . . . oh well, his lack of a response speaks volumes.

Pasta promised fair and EQUAL coverage when the games came out.

I even asked a month ago where his 2K9 impression were, he replied and said he didn’t get an advance copy, but after he plays it a while, he will get his impression thread going.

Well, still waiting. . . .

Pasta, I really like this site, I come here every day looking for news and such. I always thought you were kinda EA biased, but now it seems like you are WAY EA biased. Maybe I am off base, but maybe you are biased and aren’t even fully aware of it.

At least give us a response!!!!!

Pasta never did stated, that Live is better over 2k, he do not really have personal opinions, most people have the feeling about PASTAPADRE.COM=LIVE HOMEPAGE, coz Pasta is filtering the news, more posivite EA news, more negative 2k news.

This time, Insider vs 365, if You are asking me, what is more important, adding an undrafted rookie benchplayer, who had an outstanding game or a blockbuster trade, the blockbuster trade has more significance.

Paste is an enigma for me. He seems like a serious sport-gamer, how the hell can he prefer live over 2k? Live is for children until the age of 12, live to 2k is like Facebreaker to Fight Night Round 3.

you must no be much of a basketball player or an athlete to say that a benchplayer who happens to score 37 points in one game and is averaging around 7 points a game is insignificant!!!@ ReignMan:
