I missed the cut-off for the NBA-LIVE-SERIES-CENTER (NBALSC) Wishlist submission for 2004!
So I thought I'd do my best and try and submit my own suggestions for possible NBA 2005 Live PC fixes. Fixes that I really feel can improve the game:
(BUT IF ANYONE CAN ADD MY WISHLISTS TO NBA LIVE 2004 I'D BE STOKED!)
Here are my two main suggestions:
1) FORCEFEEDBACK support.
All other consoles have the advantage of NBA Live 2004 making full use of their forcefeedback gamepads. It is my understanding that the PC version does not support forcefeedback. To have this feature would add an immeasurable dimension to the gameplay. From FT, to rebounds, fouls and post up manouvures, the game of physicality will never be the same!
2) USER STATS - WIN/LOSS record.
Since NBA Live 1998, EA Sports has done away with keeping the individual WIN/LOSS records for user profiles. In some households, internet play will not be the only form of challenges between individuals. Having a user profile in NBA Live 1998, was excellent, as not only did it return certain stats, it also displayed who the winningest user was on my machine! My friends, my little brother and I, would play endlessly, in an effort gain the best record on our profiles.
There is no STAT that comes close to the "WINNINGEST USER" on a particular PC.
For example, its nice how we know who has the best 3pt touch, who is the best FT shooter, who shoots the highest precentage or has blocked the most shots. BUT WHO HAS WON THE MOST GAMES? A possible record of games would be completely revolutionary. Imagine! For example:
User: Cisco W 13 L 5
WIN 06/12/04 vs User: Player 2 (SIXERS 95 vs JAZZ 83)
LOS 06/12/04 vs User: Lucas (SIXERS 66 vs LAKERS 105)
WIN 06/12/04 vs User: Allan (SIXERS 87 vs RAPTORS 79)
WIN 06/12/04 vs User: Stan (SIXERS 105 vs SONICS 99)
Thanks for listening guys! Keep up the awesome work. Please let me know if there is at least small hope of a patch update for 2004 - because my requests are probably more appropriate for a NBA Live 2004 patch update.
Regards,
Cisco
