Wii All Play Problems

Fri Jan 02, 2009 11:05 am

I made the mistake of buying NBA Live 09 All Play for my new Wii this past weekend. I couldn't decide whether to buy All Play for 2k9 for pc but Best Buy made my decision easy by not having 2k9. If only 2k could have made a 2k9 for Wii. Anyway, despite warnings, I was shocked at how terrible the graphics are. Im not kidding when I say they look like they're from last century, '98 and '99. There's no refs, the point guards dominate, and substitutions don't work. I also can't believe ea would make a game where you can't edit players. At least let me edit positions or ratings. In my first game I played, I was the celtics against the Timberwolves. Rondo is horrible at 64 rating, he should be like 75 +. Also Randy Foye looks to be 400 pounds, he's supposed to one of the smallest players on the team as point guard. I also hate and expected how few rookies were in the game but what I can't get over is how no rookies have speech files. Also very few players who were rookies last year have pictures. Plus the ea didnt bother changing any ratings from last year so Alando Tucker, Julian Wright, Walter Herrmann, and Morris Almond are all over 80 in ratings so Almond starts over Deron Williams instead of sitting on the bench like he does in real life. (No offense to Almond) Too bad I can't edit their ratings. I've also been shocked at how screwed up the positions are. Randolph Morris and Louis Amundson are 6'10 point guards. Luckily cpu will never bring in subs so I wont have to worry about one of them playing the point. While playing the Thunder or should i say the Oklahoma City "Team" i kept forgetting and thinking that I was playing the Spurs becasue of the black uniforms but i geuss everyone has the problem with OKC thunder. The sliders also seem to do nothing whenyou adjust them, I have shooting foul at 100 % for the last 5 games at 8 min quarter and I still have yet to shoot a free throw.
Anyway I wouldn't say the game is unplayable because i still play it alot, then again that just might be because it xmas break and I have nothing better to do. Anyway as of right now I don't believe there's anyway to update anything which is annoying. Maybe I should have gotten 2k9 for pc. Anyway if anyone has anything else to add please do so or if there is indeed a way to update all play

There aren't any updates for the Wii version unfortunately. The Wii, PSP and PS2 versions are just shocking compared to the Xbox 360 and PS2 versions (which still have their issues but by and large are light years ahead of the Wii and last gen versions).

I think I read too many reviews for live 09 that were pertaining to 360 and ps3 not knowing that wii would be much different. I remember reading somewhere a person who said NBA live is closer to 2k sports more than ever in this years game. O well thanks for your help.
