by I own all PC Nba Lives on Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:41 am
Dear EA Sports ,
I live all the way in Barbados. I have been playing able Nba live since sega/snes days. I looked forward to by a Pc version every October. I hoping for this year if possible a release of NBA LIVE 11 for PC.
For my wishlist for Nba live 11 ,if its not too much, has been debate heavily with other Nba live fans in Barbados & these are the things we would like to see fixed or introduced/re-introduced. 11 things for NBA LIVE 11.
1.Improved Created Characters- In the current creative mode, created players look to old ,even though it allows for better construction of a face ,guys just look like 50 years old, Live 2003 though lacked as much detail the player faces look better, Player body type should not always have to be dependent on player weight, an option to choose body type should be there if user does want to accept games player body type to weight design. Also the ability to choose shooting form, and free throw ritual and go to move (maybe a creation go to move added if possible).
2.Create A Team- Similar to the one in Fifa series were you could create jerseys,Team Logo(use other animals or something like how they are Minnesota Timberwoles ) , Financial status,etc. Give names to match team (have list of states eg. Mississippi,Texas, Colorado along with item select from team logo so commentators would be able to say the name of the created team.)
3. Improved Ball Trajectory - I know you have worked hard at it an you are almost there.
4. Improve Rebounding- Players still look like if the jump too high over rim when grabbing boards.
5. Multi-player Dynasty & Player Lock- Player lock should be brought back ,Multi-player dynasty explains itself.
6.Tips/Put Back- Improve the realism of tip in an put backs ,as to the ball magically flying to players hand.
7.Menu Screen- I like the video clips in Nba live 08 ,but bring back the ability to select a favourite team, then if not like what was done on Live 04, so video clips of stars of the chosen favourite team (at least three superstars a team,if team has that many) .
8.Pre-Game Ritual- Each Team should have a unique-ness about their warm up, even if its one player (team superstar) doing their real pre-game ritual Lebron chalk throw, Melo ball hug.
9.Improved Gameplay - Still slightly robotic and slow but has improved greatly over the years, improve defense mechanics as well as offense (eg. sealing opponent on pick a rolls better)
10. Commentary - Mike Breen must come be introduce Steve Kerr( i think like him better as a shooter),also use the last name /commentator names system like on your Cricket series( Yes i buy and play alot of your merchandise) so the annoucer would call the player last name at least when they hit a shot or have an assist as to saying # 25.
11. Improved Dynasty Mode- Include hire and fire of staff ,retiring of coaches, Improve generate rookies( make them look like real people please, and the game can say their names , No sense generating name like Louba Makulitesnfia if you wont allow the game to pronounce them. Improve draft , how realistic is a 1st pick from Kuwait 2nd from Malaysia and 3rd from Fiji. Player chemistry improves during the season when a 2 players( maybe more) pass the ball to each other more as season progress. Simulation of a game reflects how user has been playing in previous games ( not user having lead Utah with Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams as top scorers for the past 5 games and then when "siming" the next game Okur, AK47 are leading the team. And custom team playbook that stays the way you put it.
Much more could be add but I know these thinks take time, money & alot of technology ,so i just listed those few which are main concerns for Live players in Barbados( i don't know i other share the views). So i how to see some of the improvements in future in the NBA Live series. (RELEASE A PC VERSION NBA LIVE 11 PLEASE !)
Shot Stick is stupid (outside of freethrows) and is used by 2k already stay unique .The button shooting system is perfectly fine (tap-to fake , hold and release- to shot) if more people actually took up a basketball at learn to shoot they would know when to release a button on a jump shot. People only scream shot stick because 2k has being more easily available or the past 2 years due there PC releases. That should be telling you guys at EA something.
