Will Shaun Livingston be in NBA Live 05 or Not?
Sat Sep 11, 2004 10:07 am
The clipper rookie was just signed today, and I bet Live's roster was final a couple weeks ago. That would suck to not have the #4 pick in the game, and remember NBA Live 02 where Chandler and Curry weren't in the game?

I don't know when the cutoff was, but I think he will be in it, if not in the actual rosters, then maybe as an FA, or a secret player if they have that again.

he wouldnt be a free agent cause if i am not mistaken you are not apart of the nba til you sign a deal. if he aint part of the nba then live cant use him. sure we can always create him but that is never any fun. i always though that ea should make a patch after the game ships, right after the season starts. the patch changes nothing, but what it does is add the rookies who signed after the cut off date.

Seeing as though EA didn't leave out any rookies last year and the only time they've left out first rounders was NBA Live 2002 (Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler), I'm guessing Livingston will be in the game.

don't forget the time they left out yao.. and he was the number 1 pick

but that was cause he signed after like the september deadline for live. probably he would be in the game, maybe as a secret player, xue yuyang and bonner and guys who didn't sign were in there

It think EA's roster cut off is at the end of September. but knowing EA, whoever didnt make it will be a player you can get with a code.

sure they had codes which was great but some of the players didtn even look like there counter parts at all.... remember kyle korver? lolz.... even some 1 yr pro players didnt look at all like there counter parts like fred jones!!! i hope ea fixes these issues....

I had forgotten about that. I believe that was one of the console versions of NBA Live 2003. Yao was in the PC version though.

Ill take Dorell Wright(my fav rookie now, lost the love for JR Smith 
) and slam one in Livingston's face

I guess release date could be a factor too since this year EA's going extra early with promises (at least with the PC).

i think that every first round draft rookie will be on nba live 2005 even if they have not sign in their team,
for yao in 2003 on PS2, it was because the rockets had to get a permission from china to let yao play in NBA
well ea , i think, have an option with NBA to know court screen/new uniform and logo, to add new one on his game, like memphis "fedex forum" new colour, or charlotte coliseum with bobcats colour
or new jersey for memphis, utah and charlotte
