NBA LIVE 09 - NBA LIVE 365

Hi Everyone,

My name is Nate McDonald and I am one of the producers working on NBA LIVE 09 this year. Today I am here to present to you a feature that we are all extremely excited about being able to bring to you; NBA LIVE 365! We have teamed up with Synergy Sports Technology to integrate tracking data used by NBA teams into NBA LIVE 09. NBA LIVE 365 uses data from Synergy to drive the gameplay, meaning that the players in NBA LIVE 09 will play just like they do in real life. NBA LIVE 365 is not only going to provide an unprecedented level of realism to the game, it's also going to bring that realism to the game fresh every single day. NBA LIVE 09 truly is the first sports video game that will be made fresh daily. Let me get into a little bit more detail about all the features that NBA LIVE 365 will have to offer.

PLAYER DNA

The first thing I want to talk about is Player DNA.  Every player in the game has a DNA strand that breaks down what each of them do on offense for their team.  Using players from the Boston Celtics as examples; Paul Pierce mostly runs the Pick & Roll with the ball, Spots Up, or runs Isolation plays.  For someone like Ray Allen, he also likes to run Pick & Roll, Spots Up, but runs off a lot more screens so that he can catch and shoot compared to Paul Pierce who likes to run a little more isolation.  Kevin Garnett posts up a high percentage of the time now in Boston 's offense with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce on the floor the majority of the time whereas when he was with Minnesota he may have had his different plays spread out a little bit more.  All of this ties into Team DNA which I'm going to get into a little more in a bit.
