My wishlist for NBA LIVE 2005! Take a look at this!

[rxg21]

I haven't played the NBA Live 2004 in PC, but i've tried it in PS2. This is pretty cool, but there's a lot more to modify.

If you have played madden 2004 and if you've played the franchise after 1 year, the game is really great. i think NBA Live programmers should think of these improvements.

To the people who doesn't have madden 2004, check out my wish for nba live 2005:

1. salary should be implemented instead of points(talk about millions of dollars)
2. instead of GM mode, Owner mode is best because GM can be fired.
3. In off season :
Scouting Rookies
--the team should have an allotted rookies to be scouted(15 max. in madden)
Drafting Picks
-- scouted rookies should have some of their ratings revealed
-- when drafting rookies, they shouldn't be signed automatically. You have to sign them manually or you could also choose not to sign drafted rookies.
Signing Free Agents
-- there should be fixed days for signing free agents(30 days in madden 2004)
-- when signing for a free agent, when the player agrees to the deal it doesn't mean he will be joining the team already, instead other team who also liked that player could also offer to that free agent a higher salary(Bidding of salary for the players' signing decision)

Build Stadium
-- not only build new stadium but also manually rename the stadium, offer for a sponsored name for the stadium(earn money if you reach playoff or more money if champion), rebuild stadium, relocate stadium, and most of all upgrade stadium(eg. Sound sytem for sound effect improvement that will increase attendance).

Set Prices
-- Ticket prices, consessions(foods), merchandise(jersey, team cap), and advertisement(give aways).
-- This wll improve fan support that will result to increase attendance.

Staff
-- Hire and release head coach, assistant coaches, and training coaches.
-- Hire health company for improving injury prevention & recovery.

More wishes if i get to have a copy of NBA Live 2004 PC Version...

It would have been faster if you had said 'Steal Madden's Owner/Dynasty mode." From what I've heard of the game so far if they only improve one thing for next year it should be Free Agent signing.
For those of you who have not blessed yourselves by buying Madden 04 I'll explain the FA signing. You start out at the beginning with 30 days, you can choose to sim a day or days if you want. Click a player then sign and you go to my favourite part, the actual signing. The player will demand a salary based on how many years the contract is for. You can then change the salary and the signing bonus. You can click offer and the players 'agent' will say things like "Thanks, it was great doing business with you." or "I can see a wooden nickel, my player needs more money." That is now an offer, and you sim a day after and someone may have offered a higher contract so a pop-up comes up that says that. Your player might have also agreed to sign with your team. I love it.

Negotiating with free agents and a calendar system in Dynasty Mode would be awesome. Metsis had some excellent ideas a while back.

how about controlling one player throughout his entire career. like you could be his agent sort of, and you could play as him. so you would work out for teams, try and make a roster, the starting lineup, negotiate contracts and all that. i think that that would be a lot of fun. they could even make it so that you start out with him coming out of high school or college and he works out in a predraft camp to try and move up in the draft.

So basically add the things that Madden 2004 has.
