We've also integrated the offseason into a calendar so it's no longer following a series of steps. It's really based on a calendar system. One other thing we changed, is now we generate the crop of upcoming rookies at the beginning of the season, that way you can scout them throughout the season, and you can gather information about them throughout the season. That's how it is in real life. It's not like all of a sudden you go to the draft and there are all of these new players you never heard of. You can go scout players from the U.S., from Asia, Africa, and from Europe, send scouts out to find out about certain aspects about their game like offense, defense, and athleticism. You spend your Dynasty points to scout the players, and the better the scouts you have, the more information you'll get back about the players. Before the draft, you can then bring in some of these players to play one-on-one against a player on your team. You can play as or against the rookie to check out his game and see if he's worthy of being drafted.


THAT SCOUTING SHITT IS GOOD!

Wow, the game sounds really good. The FA negotiations and scouting sound cool........

Pity the cut scenes are gone, they add feel to the game. But still, they've added alot of stuff so I can forgive them and im sure cut scenes will be back next year :)

If you're talking about credit on the NLSC news page...

Elsewhere, I wrote:I just read the interview about 15 minutes ago (I checked IGN Sports before logging into the forum, which is why I didn't credit anyone when I posted the link on the NLSC), and I liked what I read.

IGN Sports: So how does a guy from Germany end up at EA Canada making a game about American basketball?

Tim Tschirner: It's not really a logical connection. [laughs] It started when NBA Live '95 came out. I picked it up at the store, and I was really just getting into basketball at the time. For me, basketball started when M.J. and the Bulls were starting their first championship run. That's how I got attracted to basketball. So when Live '95 came out, I picked it up and loved it ever since. I was always a PC gamer, so I started doing my own roster updates, started writing an editor so you can change all of the players or add players if you wanted to. Eventually I put together a Web site for that with my own rosters available for download. Over the years, there have been a lot of NBA Live Web sites, but mine for some reason just kept getting bigger and bigger. At the end of 1999 I got a call from one of the producers of NBA Live at the time asking me if I wanted to come work at EA. At first, I thought someone was just playing a joke on me, but I eventually figured out that it wasn't a joke and they flew me up to Canada. A couple of weeks later I was there for five days doing interviews and whatnot. It was a different continent, different country, different language, but I really liked the people and figured I had nothing to lose. About three months later I started.


damn andrew maybe if youre lucky you'll be moving to canada in a little while :lol:

Hehe..t'would definitly be a dream come true.

Thu Sep 09, 2004 12:39 pm

That scouting is awesome. And the colors in the dynasty look sexy. I can tell the game isn't done yet as you still see some white lines around the players and I still some problems with the graphics, but thats going to be the least of my worries since I'll be doing to mouch scouting to worry about that :D. This is shaping out to be some great game.

Im thinking of becoming a US citizen and moving, just so i can get the game on the release date :)

:wink:
