I will get right to it:
* I won't even mention Technical fouls, as I know the NBA will not permit the companies to put them in their products
* Clear Path Fouls (The lack of clear patch fouls get abused way too much online. This game is great, but it really reflects on some of the unrealistic aspects of the game, and to have an actual rule lacking in a sim basketball game is a bit embarrassing.)
* Kick Ball Violation
* Jump Balls during the game (There needs to be a wrap-up animation for the ball, resulting in a jump ball. this seems like something that could happen a lot, so try and limit the animation to maybe one time a game)
* Players really get injured (The addition of injury animations are aesthetically pleasing, but the lack of a result really make them pointless. Have players actually get hurt, and miss game time.)
* Get rid of the crowd saying 'Threeee' every time the home team shoots a 3. (It is really unrealistic, and just makes the atmosphere very tacky.)
* Alter the intensity of the bench players being out of their seats almost the entire game. The score may be 54-30, and they will still be going crazy. Please keep it realistic.
* Add Assistant Coaches, and trainers, injured players behind the bench in a second row.
* Have players get up off of the bench when their substitution is called. (A realistic touch, have the player go to the scorer's table, and check in. Not too much to ask)
Live/Elite is undoubtedly the better franchise in our eyes. The one thing 2K has though is some realistic effects. Almost everything mentioned here is in 2K, and could easily be added to Elite, only making Elite the best NBA video game experience ever!
