Dynamic DNA? We can do it!

Tue Sep 30, 2008 2:01 am

Hey guys,

this is me. I'm very sad about the current situation, let's call it EA wants to earn more money and lets PC-Players stuck on NBA live 08.

But what can we expect from a company recycling Sport Games every year again and not caring about fixes and updates. The reason why we still play NBA live is this great community.

A week ago i had a look on NBA live 09 and was very surpised, when i saw the new Dynamic DNA Feature. It's like a dream came true for me.
But after i looked for a shop to preorder i was very disappointed. No Version for PC?!? They must be kidding..... :(
Then i had a look on NBA 2k9 from 2k-Games. And i saw the same feature and rumors about a pc version. This is my last hope and if this is a true fact i will immedatly stop working in the next project und give it to other hands.

Only if nba 2k9 doesn't come for pc...
After thinking about this for a time i had the great idea to do this feature on my own and for NBA live 08 only. In fact i began writing a tool which fetches all current data from player-stats & team-rosters and translates it into NBA live 08 values. After filtering that data i will be able the write the updates to the NBA live Roster-Files.

In short: we probably will have "Dynamic DNA" on NBA live 08.
If this project progresses i will write a client, which fetches the newest Update from a extra server (there will also be mirrors) and writes it to your desired save-game or roster.

What i've already done is the fetching of the current data. The data needs to be filtert, translated und recalculated (to fit into NBA live 08 (e.g. free-throw percentage).
The biggest steps need to be done and this will be hard work and as i said this will only continue progressing if NBA 2k9 doesn't release for pc.

I will need help, but once it is created one person only needs to make a double click and his game is up to date :D

What i need is the following:
1.) Someone with great skills in CDBF-lite (updateing etc...)
2.) Some guys who can support me with mirros (to have great speed for everyone)
3.) Feedback for calculation formulars on the different skills. Means: after a time i will post formulars for calculating different skills from current stats and you need me to tell if this equals realistic figures).
4.) Some feedback on the main idea.....

To keep this clean i will update this first post sometimes.

That would be Great, but, will your further explain about the Dynamic DNA that we can play with our live 08?

Tue Sep 30, 2008 2:44 am

I think we should give our best to update nba live 08 cause 2k9 sucks on Pc. its a novice try by 2k.It cannot be compared with the console releases.Howerer with the recent mod releases nbal 08 has improved dramatically and can be compared at some point with the console versions.i think its worth to try update it more and more.

Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:03 am

please people, go to 2ksports.com ,find nba 2k9 and try to search for a word -pc.
I am sure that there will be no nba 2k9, so dont put your hopes up.

uhmm... so with that program you made we can now able to update our ROSTERS automatically through a server... let say NLSC... :P

so the program will check the server if there's a new update (ONLY OFFICIAL UPDATES) and prompts the user about it and lets him choose if he want to update or not.... something like that right? :D

Lulz, it's a direct port from the 360. They press a button and it "ports" it.

Well. Since it's coming I guess this project is dead.

But if you have the ability to do:
If this project progresses i will write a client, which fetches the newest Update from a extra server (there will also be mirrors) and writes it to your desired save-game or roster.

Some of us "elites" in the community have already discussed creating a client, in the design of Steam, that allows you to pick patches and have it autodownload and autoinstall them. But none of us have programming ability to pull it off.

Oh, and:
Feedback for calculation formulars on the different skills. Means: after a time i will post formulars for calculating different skills from current stats and you need me to tell if this equals realistic figures).

Formulas don't work for Live ratings, you have to use scales. This is why every "rating calculator" before has sucked.

hawk_3y3, are you still gonna do this because it's been confirmed that 2k9 will be on the pc. check out the 2k series thread

Dude, everything you said is completely inaccurate. I have enjoyed Live 08 because of the NLSC. EA made a garbage game, NLSC made it playable and enjoyable.

NBA 2k9 for PC will obliterate NBA Live 08 in any form (console, PC whatever). This is what you call a "crossover" or Take over whichever. EA abandoned us PC users. They don't care about us. 2k saw an opportunity and are taking an advantage. I respect them for that, so should you because I know your going to play their game.

Tue Sep 30, 2008 3:23 pm

Hey guys,

i yesterday preordered 2k9, but this doesn't mean the project is dead. Due to the fact the release is that late (for me :D) i will continue to work.
But don't expect me to post results within this week, because work is keepin me away from the PC at my private time. Probably on friday we will know more ;)

Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:11 pm

Good to know that this project is not dead. But i'm afraid it's ill and staying at the hospital right now. Just keep in mind. LOL. :D

This project looks promising... I hope it will progress

This project sounds really insane, but I believe that it is possible. Sorry but I cant contribute to this project since I dont have the required skills. I wish you good luck and I'll keep track of this project. (Y)

EPIC,
Yesturday when i watched there was nothing xD>
OMG I'm so happy, like when thay announced GTA 4 for pc

Wed Oct 01, 2008 1:22 am

hey, just a thought...

what if......2k9 will be unpatchable??? :twisted: :twisted:

Wed Oct 01, 2008 3:03 am

There is no need for mods or patches, because 2k9 will be like live 09, they both have this autoupdate.

At NBA live it's called "Dynamic DNA" and at 2k9 it's called "Living Rosters".

So why should there be a need for patches, when players stats, rosters and so on will stay up to date?

Wed Oct 01, 2008 3:22 am

that is if 2k9 really is release for pc...I highly doubt it...just like next_warrior said, don't hope too much...it'll be a heartbreak... ;)

Wed Oct 01, 2008 4:18 am

It comes out for PC!!
I had ask 2K Sports!
They say that it is sheduled for late October!!! (Y)

An another proof:

Highly doubt it? Well I would say shift to gear 5 and let your hope goes up the roof. 2k9 is definitely coming to PC, so many sources confirmed it and even the coverboy, Kevin Garnett has said it himself that there will be a release for PC.

Some of us had even pre-ordered it. How would that be possible if there is no PC release? Come on, read the 2k9 section and stay up to date. ;)

Wed Oct 01, 2008 12:21 pm

hehe

Since nobody is talking about possibly creating our own dynamic dna system and just talking about 2k, it's time for this topic to end.
