It'd be nice if they brought back play diagrams. I dunno what EA's problem is removing all the features I like to replace them with useless crap.
Why'd my intentional foul button go away and I still have two buttons that do the same thing? Why'd play diagrams go away?
But yeah, practicing the plays with and without defense would be great, as would intrasquad scrimmages.

LOL, I was trying to be sarcastic
But, Yea, it'd be great to begin with that actual complex plays are more effective than using just isolations and pick and rolls, that way, it'd be more realistic and the practice mode for plays would be helpful. Practicing plays, such as having Rip run around screens AND not only one mandatory repetitive way, rather, being able to react to how the defender is avoiding the screens. So, for example, if the defender tries to cheat on the screen, clear him off and go for an open jumper or go for the back door play for an easy dunk or layup
Yeah, I'd like to see improved teammate effectiveness; my teammates only get rebounds if they fall into their lap and they set terrible screens. And there is no "Reggie/Rip" play to run where you run a guy off of three screens for an open 15-footer or 3 or whatever. Those would all be useful things (improved team rebounding, improved screens, more INTELLIGENT screens, like not screening so I drive right INTO another player)...

I line them all up under the hoop and use 1 guy to dunk on everyone, but anyways... I think being able to have things like 3 on 2's and being able to have scrimmages with the bench vs the starters (which happens in the NBA) would be nice. Whether they do it or not is another matter, but I'm sure Ray Allen's sweat will make up for it
lol, The practice mode in NBA 2k5 is still better than Live, atleast you can practice Freethrows.
This new live looks good.
