lamest news of the day. who gives a crap.
Xav de Matos @ Jul 14th 2008 7:13PM
People who like sports games.
Like me.
Stupendous52 @ Jul 14th 2008 7:12PM
This is really cool if you are a big NBA gamer like me though. Personally, I'm loyal to 2k sports, so I'm hoping they take a queue from this and update more than one lazy time a year!
Stupendous52 @ Jul 14th 2008 7:15PM
Hey Xav...
Do you have a link for this? I didn't see anything on the EA website.
I'm waiting for continuous automated player rating changes from season to season during online leagues with rollover rosters....that would be the hotttness.
Xav de Matos @ Jul 14th 2008 7:42PM
No link yet. This was just announced at the EA Press Conference.
Stupendous52 @ Jul 14th 2008 7:45PM
Cool, I'll stay posted
thebettertwin @ Jul 14th 2008 7:23PM
could have told you about this ages ago did a survey where it was asking how interested i would be in paying for up to date stats guessed it would be ea that were behind it. expect to pay either a one off fee or a monthly subscription as per the survey
blank964 @ Jul 14th 2008 7:23PM
Unless this is a tremendous step up, I'll stick with 2K.
Stupendous52 @ Jul 14th 2008 7:24PM
True...if their gameplay doesn't improve, stuff like this will be irrelevant. 2k has been way better for years now.
Etchasketchist @ Jul 14th 2008 7:30PM
That's cool and all. But if the core gameplay is as crappy as NBA Live has been for the past few years, it doesn't matter how fancy you get updating stats.

i have to admit this sounds REALLY cool... but i refuse to buy EA games cuz of the whole annoying server issue... plus this doesn't seem like enough of a reason to skip 2k9 (which i hope is detailed at e3)

You guys should check out gamerDNA.com... This news article reminded me way too much of gamerDNA... kinda creepy... esp for those who have been there from the start...
juju187 @ Jul 14th 2008 10:27PM
nice sometimes your favorite team stinks previous years but now are hot it will transalate to your game great news
NightTerror X @ Jul 14th 2008 10:32PM
I hope that they'll do this for FIFA. :)

Does this player DNA have anything to do with paternity tests?
