The Official NLSC NBA Live 11 Wishlist

[Andrew]

Obviously there's a lot of stuff yet to do, say and experience as far as NBA Live 10 is concerned but with NBA Live 11 already in pre-production it seems as good a time as any to start talking about what we'd like to see in NBA Live 11...especially as we now know what is and isn't in NBA Live 10 and not everything can be patched or added. Therefore, feel free to start posting your wishes and suggestions for NBA Live 11.

As I've been quite impressed by the gameplay in NBA Live 10 so far, the first wishes that come to mind for me right now are mostly mode and platform related.

• Release a PC version (ported from the 360/PS3 version), allow community modification
  
• Improve simulated stats, the selection of award winners and All-Stars so that the results are realistic
  
• Tone down the number of trades involving superstar players during the season in Dynasty Mode
  
• Allow the user to select shorter season lengths in Dynasty Mode
  
• Allow the user to select multiple teams in Dynasty Mode
  
• Allow the user to make use of the Academy (or at least enter a five-on-five scrimmage with their team) at any time during Dynasty Mode, not just during monthly training sessions
  
• Add Create-a-Team
  
• Allow All-Star and FIBA rosters to be modified
  
• Bring back the All-Star Weekend
  
• Add more front office/managerial tasks in Dynasty Mode, as well as factoring in season fatigue and player chemistry
  
• Add the ability to hire and fire head coaches in Dynasty Mode
  
• Add an expanded Be a Pro Mode similar to Madden's Superstar Mode or My Player in NBA 2K
  
• Replace the player rotation screen in Dynasty Mode with the traditional reorder roster function; it's much more effective and less cumbersome to use
  
• Add put-back/tip dunks
  
• Clean up some lingering issues with players stepping out of bounds
  
• Fix teammate AI when using Player Lock, so that teammates will run plays, pass the ball and shoot of their own accord.

I know there's a lot more we can suggest, but hopefully that's enough to get the ball rolling on the list for next year's game.

a copy and paste from my post over at OS

being able to change control configurations so we can shoot with Right Trigger, B button, whatever we want.

Bring Back Dunk Contest, 3pt Contest, Scenario Mode, OTP Clubs, and ability to pick whoever you want for the Hanger.

Add more off court game modes, be a pro, owner mode

Create a team

Create jerseys in game

Add Dynasty cut scenes from 2004 back into the game

Have an option in dynasty to have a in-game ticker that shows scores and injuries from your dynasty. (from 2004)

Use the ESPN presentation for overlays.....

Have more than 1 court for Adidas Live Run. Hell, let us create our own court like Street vol 3.

Try and remove all 2 player canned animations

Use endorphin or FNr4 tech for collisions

Remove the invisible barrier around the court so the ball can sail into the crowd.

Add player interactions with the backboard, press, bench, crowd, scorers table, refs.

dont restrict the replay camera, let us go up into the nose bleeds if we want to.

ability to watch/spectate friend's games

and just record a crazy amount of new animations for variety

[wescravin]

Please please please add the feature that FIFA10 has that allows you upload a photo to your created player that's a must have for me but not a deal breaker.

ESPN Integration, like in NCAA 10, come on. EA CAN DO IT. they haven't used the ESPN license to their advantage. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/57453.html

[Harris10]

why is every ranked online match defaulted on playoff atmosphere?

[JaoSming]

because they wanted to show off that kind of atmosphere

- Real commentators talking at the scores table during the game (Presentation WISE!)
5. Improve gameplay
6. Tip DUNKS!
7. More Defense mechanic

[DJDC13]

i saw somewhere that they said tip dunks will be in live 11.

[JaoSming]

they also said last year that they would be back in Live 10 as well. So it's good to keep them in the wishlists.

10. Interview with players during Halftime and End games...[/b]

How?

[JaoSming]

NFL 2k5 did it

[Nikolai31]

im going to refrain from the obvious here (ie tip dunks, be a pro, etc) and go with some more original thoughts-

1. just more animations during halftime, or a tv style presentation similar to that of madden
2. injuries that force players to go to the locker room to get checked out, and its your decision on whether to put them back in the game and risk injury (also like madden)
3. better looking cpu generated players in dynasty mode. i cant describe how much i hate that half the ppl i have to choose from in each draft class are black with long pink hair. why in the hell isnt there more practical hairstyles, similar to lebron james hair or paul pierces. it would be easy to animate, seeing as though its so short
4. more realistic player bios for cpu generated players. my #2 draft prospect was from malaysia and the #5 one was from kuwait. ill bet one million dollars and my left nut that that scenario will never happen in real life. they should just stick to intl. players from spain, china, france, east europe-the countries that actually know a basketball when they see one. even more realisitic colleges would be nice. i dont see any #1 picks coming out of fresno state any time soon...
5. updated rosters for fiba mode.... live 11 will come out two weeks after the world championships, and interest in international basketball will be at an all time high (at least as far as the past decade is concerned, dream team aside) spain and the us will be on a collsion course for the #1 spot in the world (and best of all, ive already reserved my tix. yeee!!). so, now that ea has given spain IR roster slots to accomodate rubio this year, i think they should do the same for not all, but most of the more competitive teams with deeper rosters. the way it should work is that the rosters would be IDENTICAL to the real life ones (no nash or ilgauskas starting for those teams) but any nba stars from those countries would be on the IR list to add to the roster. it would increase replay value for sure. i played with mostly fiba teams in 09, but im already sick of it in 10 cuz the players are all the same. if the option to put Durant on team USA (which he will be in 2010) is available, as well as kaman on germany, etc. im sure ppl would play that mode much more with the added depth.
6. what the hell is up with the 10 or so players in the game who are generic (ie, they look like a young gandhi) player models? and most of them arent even signed to the teams theyre on, like sergio llull and henk norel. does ea plan on creating a patch for this this year, or do they just not care?
7. more responsive directional passing, i think theres a bit of a delay. i tend to use that, because with the right stick passing, you can never be 100% sure who the pass is going to. theres nothing worse than a 2 on 1 fast break that ends in a backcourt violation cuz you passed it to the wrong guy. i remember in past versions of live, if you pressed turbo while passing, the ball would go to the man closest to the hoop. something like that would be nice.
8. coaches retiring in dynasty mode.. i dont see don nelson still coaching well into his 80's


as far as i know, none of these points have been brought up yet, so id appreciate some feedback to see how anyone else feels about this stuff.

[wescravin]

My wishlisft for live 11

1. better commentary I love marv but steve has got to go
2. better post moves

4. celebs in the crowd (ie jack at the staple center spike lee at MSG jay z at nets vs cavs)
5. deeper dynasty mode (hire and fire coaches etc...)
6. real refs (may not be big to some people but i would love to see steve javie and joe crawford come playoff time)
7. crowd leaving when home team gets blown out
8. players check in at scores table
9. players picking up T's
10. in game saves
11. tip dunks
12. smoother freestyle passing

2. New Commentators ("MIKE BREEN" should be there!) (eg. Lewis for threeee..... BANGGG!) ^_^

I'd much rather have Marv Albert than Mike Breen...especially if meant that we'd be getting the rest of the ESPN crew as well. I've come to like Breen, but Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy? Ugh, please no...

Same here I hate Marc and Jeff toO, but I really like MIKE BREEN, hes full of energy thats 1 thing will surpass 2k in commentary dept in NBA Live 11... Is there a way to put Mike Breen with another commentator but not Marc and JEFF? It is possible to have MIKE BREEN and Marv ALBERT in the game?I hope they have chemistry though

[Andrew]

I suppose they could, but I'm not sure how well that would work as they're both play-by-play guys.

[MikeMan™]

Bill Walton and Charles Barkley!

[ronimous]

Bill Walton and Charles Barkley!

How about MIKE BREEN and BiLL WALTON?? Drew wat u think?

Here's 10 Things I Want Live To Improve By NBA Live 12! Yes, You Heard Me! By 12! Lol
Im Giving EA Sports Like 2 Years To Make The Best B-Ball Game Ever!

1. More Signature Moves ( like lebron's chasedown block from the back! kobe's amazing footwork like 2k10!
And more authenic size-up moves! Every player seems to do the same size-up moves as the superstars!

2. Better Crowd & Fans ( Jack Nicholson and many more celebrities at the Staples Center! or Lebron Talking To Jay-Z at a Knicks game). Wescravin knows what i mean.

3. More Sneakers ( I Would Like To See More Jordans!)

4. Better Gameplay ( i just think you guys need some better animations. players still look too robotic and glitchy)

5. All-Star Weekend ( why would you remove it in the first place? bring it back and with the skills challenge too)

6. Presentation ( more pre-game rituals and player introductions) also better mvp, and nba champion storylines.

7. Game modes ( add 1-on-1's, or a game of 21! Add some street ball into it) be a pro should come back too!

8. Cover (Lebron James or Deron Williams)

9. Freestyle Passing ( more signature passes, like steve nash with his no-looks, deron williams with his accurate passing, and chris paul with his tricks or and fakes)

10. And Last But Not Least Make This The Best Basketball Game On The Market! Better Then 2K In Other Words Lol.

More tipping the ball out of bounds while going 4 rebounds. make it feel more like your battling for the rebounds. More pg's sg's sf's grabbing more boards and cpu C's Pf's sf's get more assists. Fix the verticals already plz so Playmakers wont have to keep lowering them every year. Quickstrike more natural. CPU triple doubles.
