Wish for later version of NBA Live

[rrr1431]

I've been a fan of the NBA live series since the 1st on came out more than 10 yrs ago. and imo, i think it has gotten better and better. There's one aspect that i'd like to point out that has bothered me through the years though... It involves the "handedness" of a player. It only seems to affect the shooting and nothing more making it a rather superficial thing. But I would like to point out that if you observe players in the NBA they will use their favored hands more often for every thing. shooting, layups, dunks, blocks, steals. it also shoud be a big influence on how a player guards another and where a player likes to position himself for a move to the basket. Now I know that most if not all players CAN shoot, layup and dunk w/ the "off" hand but they will only do so if forced to. For example. Kobe can shoot with either hand but if he is alone on a breakaway dunk he WILL dunk w/ the right hand not the left. this is very easy to see on NBA videos. so for my wish, i would like future NBA live games to show that the "handedness" of a player has a bigger influence on how a player moves or acts on the court, this should be especaily true for SHOOTING/LAYUPS/DUNKING the ball. even players like Kobe or LeBron will prefer to dunk/layup w/ the right hand whenever possible.

yeah, and when playing D you try to force them to thier weak side or whatever, and if they go left theres more chance of them coughing the ball up.

Sounds like a solid idea to me.

a good idea, yet pointless

it would take ALOT of work, and i doubt it would affect most people gameplay at all

Not necessarily. In theory it would prevent wild Freestyle moves to elude defenders if players weren't as effective switching from one hand to the other or simply dribbling with their weak hand. It would also play a part in adjusted shots so players that can't really shoot with both hands wouldn't make too many shots that they put up with their weak hand.
