NBA 95 On Live 06

[cocobee]

I'll take ingame saves and multi-player dynasties please! It's 2005, we don't need to play nba live 95. If someone is hard pressed to play Live 95, go to the game store and buy it for 4 bucks.

I don't see ingame saves being a must add to the NBA Live title. Theres an easy way to not have to implement this feature. DON'T START A GAME IF YOU KNOW THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO FINISH. This is 100% preventable.

No it isn't. How are you supposed to know something will happen and you'll have to stop playing? Either way, we should be able to play the game we pay for whenever we want without having to stop and start all over again just because EA are too lazy to put in a feature that was inexplicably taken out of earlier versions of NBA Live.

[Drex]

Yes that is correct genius.

Agree with Yohance and Sauru...it's just a waste of time, they should put this kind of effort into making the game better.

[cklitsie]

This is all just a way to make the simple customer more amazed with the game while true NBA (Live) fanatics know where to look at while judging the game.

PLS CLARIFY: what rosters are gonna be in the Live 95 add-on?

This has been said about fifty times, but once again, the rosters will be full of made-up players. They will not be real players.

Some of us are not children on summer vacation who can sit around on their asses and do nothing for even an hour at a time, sometimes.

Such a feature is useless imo....could EA have put more time and effort into something more useful?

Uh....I doubt porting an already existing game onto a CD is alot of time or effort.

[mortalsoul3]

Waste of Time!!!!!! They always say that they dont have enough time to implement some very improtant gameplay and dynasty mode features and then they waste time on stuff like this.

Exactly. Create-a-team options. Evolving the Franchise Mode. In-game saves. In-game realism. Etc, etc. . . . the list of needed enhancements and re-introduced options is obscene . . . and this is what EA gives you? After securing its monopoly over hoop gaming options with the NBA? Grand. God bless the Empire . . .

I repeat...how long do you think it takes to port an already existing name to a CD? no time at all.

Let's examine here.....so what you're saying is..

Time to design and implement a create-a-team option

equals

Time to slap a game onto a CD

I fail to see how you can think that.

Crazy whiners are the main reason I can't bring myself to post here anymore, it's hard to not be annoyed ><

Anyway, I think it's really nifty that they're including 95

[mortalsoul3]

But you just posted . . . though you claim not to be able to "bring yourself to do so" . . . hmmmmm . . .? Quite contradictory. Sounds as if you picked up "excuse-making" and "analytical thinking" skills while interning with Electronic Arts Inc.

"Create-a-team" was an option on Live 2000 --i.e., it's already been designed and implemented on a past game, much like the rudimentary, arcane Live 95 features soon to be offered as alternatives on Live 2006.

Finally, your knee-jerk lashing-out is unnecessary ["crazy whiners"] . . . this is a friendly forum to my knowledge, and has been long as I've participated, youngun.

I really don't care to continue an argument much further, I'll just reply and then move on. I suppose I can clarify and say "Can't bring myself to be the top 30 poster I used to be".

The create-a-team option, if added to 06, would require ALOT of work to implement, while adding the nba live 95 "sub-game" requires no updates, no database changes, etc.

[mortalsoul3]

I see no wrong in seeking to extract work from EA's duly compensated programming team, as EA sees no wrong in colluding with retailers to charge $45-$50.00 for these games upon release . . .

I find this funny because you claim you don't sit around on your ass, yet you have over 1600 posts And yes, i am on summer vacation, but my question to you is don't you have a family to feed, or wife and kids to care for? If you do, i think its a shame you waste your time on the message boards, instead of looking after your family. Videogames are meant to be enjoyed by kids. I know your gunna tell me this average gamer age crap is like 28 or w/e, but personally once i hit that age, i'm not gunna have time to play some stupid videogames, but since i'm young and currently don't have many responsibilites, I can enjoy them.

We don't play NBA Live because we are kids, we play because we are fans of the NBA and the sport of basketball. I wasn't aware that there was an age limit. In game saves are a must for anyone, just say I'd like to play 1 half of basketball and continue later. I'd like the option to be able to do that, in Live 2000 PC, it was possible. This seems pointless to explain this to you, just looking and reading at your argument/point of view--it's clear that you are too immature to understand or atleast respect the point at hand. Some of the "sim" heads like to play 12 minute quarters, that's a long game. We all don't play 2 minute quarters and call that basketball. A lot of the appeal is because we like to immitate real life basketball (ie patches, roster updates, and every minute detail that EA will let us squeeze in this game)--it's called realism. I'm in my mid twenties, relatively successful proffesionally and socially, and I feel, I've been a postive contributer in this community. Does that make me a loser because I'm an avid sports video gamer? I really feel you need to look at your past comments and judge whether or not, they were made in anger or pure hostile emotion. Honestly, if that's your take on video gaming, then you are showing everyone how young you are physically and mentally.

[mortalsoul3]

Donatello, Cocobee --

Just for later reference . . . there is far more mature conversation re: hoop and re: Live conducted in the Live 2000 thread. I just peeked into the 06 thread for a moment to obtain insight into what to expect from NBA Live's next edition. I'm done here. Peace.

Are you 12 years old or something? Stop acting like a moron, just because the guy has a certain number of posts doesn't mean he's "wasting his life". For your mis-informed information, Donatello stopped posting for months. You say once you hit the age of 28 you're not going to have time to play video games, well hopefully once you hit the age of 13 you won't have the time to post here anymore.

Wow, i think the best way to obtain this "realism" you are searching for is to GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY BASKETBALL. Forget about trying to immitate it, just go and play. No videogame will ever provide the same entertainment level that playing real basketball gives. And if you say it will, either you're fat and out of shape and can't keep up in a real game, or you just suck at basketball in real life. Because as far as i'm conernerned i'd take playing a real game of ball over playing a videogame version anyday.

[Jackal]

What's with all the hostility coming from you?

Sometimes you just can't go out and play ball, during the winter perhaps, now stop acting so childish.

Btw, that was Cocobee, not Donatello.

I play both, I'm the starting PG in a men's league that travels around the area. But I also appreciate the culture and the sport that is the NBA. I knew your little 12 year old non pube having ass, probably slightly retarded, wouldn't be able to grasp a simple concept of in game saves. It's like teaching a monkey how to talk with you, isn't it. You honestly, just don't get it. And dude, to put it nicely--you're a fucking idiot and by far the dumbest poster I've read in these forums in a long time.

Do you think sliders are unnecessary by any chance?

Good question.

Seeing as I've posted like maybe 10 times total since January.

And don't you dare give me shit about not taking care of my family, I am the sole support for my mother who has Multiple Sclerosis, Pernicious Anemia, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia. She can't work, and every cent I make at my job goes to her. I have about 3 hours in a day to do what I want, max.

[kp4life]

hey coco i'm with you on all of ur comments. I believe all of us here who do post over 1000 posts or who just come over and read forums all love to play both actual basketball and basketball videogames. why? because we love basketball itself. and u talk about why not play actual basketball rather than play videogames... i mean... that just sound so nonsense to me because that's the whole point why people play videogames....doing the things that they can't do in real life.... obviously we can't all be a ceo, owner, nba coach, or nba player. so by playing nba live or other basketball games (all of the sports games) we get to control our own teams, play as a nba player, and make decisions in our own nba games. and most of us here want our nba games to be realistic. i don't think coco meant the "realism" as the realism that you can find when you play basketball... because the realism you find in nba games and your basketball games with your friends aren't really the same.
and i'm not even gonna say anything about age bullshit because you gonna realize how foolish you were when you reach 40 sitting on a couch playing nba live 2030. if you think that way then woooow that means you are against millions of other sports videogamers and other video genre gamers too. lol just try it~ go to any gaming forums and say the same thing that u said about realism and age. they will be a lot more harsh on your comments than here. because we are the most friendly sports community .

When I play real basketball at the park, I always have to turn my own free throw slider down to 0
