What Ea should work on more to make nba live better

[platinum_cjb]

i think they should work on gameplay making the game realistic so i can play on 12 mins and not score over 150 and have unreal stats like 30 turnovers,60 rebs stuff like

and then dynasty mode

[biamax28]

yeah your right dude,gameplay is the most important,becuase im tired of winning the the game leading over a hundred points a game,and even when the graphics is not like the nxt-gen grphics nba live fine w/ me

[Scotty]

yep agreed again-gameplay is the x factor, if it doesn't improve from Last year i dont think there'd be any reason to buy the game.

[Metsis]

Gameplay can keep you intrested for a long time, but a breath of fresh air into the dynasty mode is what is needed... The players need to be more alive and not just numbers in an excel sheet... Thats how they are now.

I'd really love to see a player miss some games due to a flue or something... Or someone has to go home and miss games on a personal matter... And some players being happy with the team, coach and their role while others wouldn't be so happy and would like to play more and play a bigger role... Happiness is the key to make the game seem more alive!

So you just couldn't let Darko sit on the Detroit bench until he was a super-star, because he would be so unhappy that he would never get there...

The dynasty needs to bring back people not wanting to sign with you and an engine that reasonably tells you why and that there are early signs so you can try to do something about that... Like Joe Johnson not willing to be the fourth wheel on a Phoenix team etc.

Trades would happen out of necessity and not just because that player is better at shooting threes and that's what I need now...

yeah, the gameplay is #1, but if the dynasty mode won't be improoved, it would be boreing. i think dynasty have to include more live of the players, they trainigs, they's mood, maybe illness, smth like - playa get fly, out 4 2 days , changes of a figures - get fatter/ thiner, some movies like Wade drives a Escalade, or 3d map of america, where we can drive to the next game sity!!! and off season - selebrity games! why not, retirement games for orner of greatest players like Zo, Finly, Glove...it'll be super super cool!

[platinum_cjb]

yeah you are right diddy if it is the same we all just mightest well keep playin live 06, but im hopin they do improve it though

because i played 2 years with a fantasy drafted team and its a real good team startin i got

andrew bynum 71
amare stoudamire 98
anthony carmelo 92
king james 99
chris paul 80

and i gte double digits with everyone on my team but i play wit bynum a lil more cause i want him to get skinny like and he wont and to me if your runnin up and down the floor for almost 32 mins a game you should slim down some

so yes they definitly need to improve on dynasty mode

[Andrew]

Tough choice between gameplay and Dynasty Mode, though I feel that satisfactory improvements can be made to gameplay through tweaks and fixes here and there while there's still much that can be done to expand Dynasty Mode, so that's where my vote goes. They're definitely the two most important aspects at this juncture though.

[Jugs]

To be honest, I can live with a screwed up gameplay if the game had a great dynasty mode, the workouts, playable practices, mid-level exception, player and team options, the ability to have the rights to rookies, head coach hiring and firing.

As well as career stats, I'd love to know if X player is having a better year than Y player did in 2001. or B team is nearly the same this year as they were 20 years ago when they won the title or something.

And the player feelings, chemistry and such that Metsis mentioned would be cool.

[Andrew]

Well, the game would still be effective as a management-based sim so I can see where you're coming from there. I like to play a good majority of the games whenever possible so I greedily want both aspects to be top notch.

[Jugs]

Well, I didn't really mean screwed up as in some sort of NBA Street style of gameplay, just how it is now without the comeback code, I could live with that (FSS domination, offensive rebounds, etc.)

[Andrew]

I figured that's what you meant. I'd probably stomach it myself in that situation though I'd be quite disappointed at least some of the issues hadn't been addressed.

[Patr1ck]

I am the complete opposite. I would rather have gameplay improvements because it would make me want to play dynasty even more. I just like playing and competing for the league leaders and developing my players, and trading to find good balance on my teams players. If I can't enjoy the gameplay that much, I probably won't enjoy the dynasty. I've been pretty satisfied with the dynasty mode despite the shortcomings of features that are in the real NBA.

[pedsdmd]

I'd like a dynasty mode where one could control more than one team

I agree, that was the case for me with NBA Live 2003. But since I feel that gameplay can be at least satisfactory with some tweaks and fixes while there's so much potential yet to be fulfilled with Dynasty Mode, I'd place Dynasty Mode slightly ahead of gameplay as far as focus is concerned. In any case, I believe that those two aspects are the two most important things to focus on no matter which of the two you rate #1, or whether you see them as being just as important as the other.

I've been playing NBA Live games since it's first release and here are some of my wish list items for NBA 2k7:

(1) One thing that I noticed from NBA Live 2K6 which should not be repeated in NBA 2K7 is when players go their opponent's bench during breaks. It looked pretty awful really seeing my players go to the other bench.

(2) Better commentary speeches, it sucks hearing the old same stuff from the previous NBA live releases

(3) No more shots that will hit the back of the rim. I don't think a professional player would do that in a real game hehe..

(4) Better moves for players including killer crossovers and powerful slams.

[Metsis]

On the gameplay side of things... The gameplay has been good enough in my eyes from Live 2004 to the latest 06 version... Some tweaking here and there and I'm totally happy with it.

Dynasty on the other hand is totally different... Here you have a group of guys 15 at max which isn't a whole lot in the end. These players are so infused with the media these days that even I in the lowly Finland know surprisingly alot of the players and I know that some players are really great to play with and some have so many problems that even with great skills can't fit into a team (Sprewell for example).

I kind of hate the fact that the problem players (Sprewell) are some of the greatest players in NBA Live games and cause none of that off-court hassle they really do. I'm not saying that Spree is a total head case or anything of the sort, but there are things that do really happen off the court in practises etc. that do have an impact on the success of the team and these elements haven't been tapped into yet at all... I'd like to see some of that in it. It would make building a team so much more intriguing than it is right now...

Right now, when you collect the players with the highest attributes you win. Lakers with Shaq, Malone, Bryant and Payton would win the title every time in NBA Live and Detroit would have had trouble getting into the play-offs in Live...

Right now, there is no TEAM in NBA Live... I want to see the TEAM effect things as it really does. If you like the players you play with, you are more successful and you can trust that if you do your work, you will be appreciated...

TEAM is why NASH is the two time NBA MVP for crying out loud... Nash is the sort of player that you just want to play with... You know he can get you the shots and easy baskets and is a real catalyst on the offensive end and can make players around him play alot better...

Which pointguard would you pick? Steve Nash or Stephon Marbury? Nash would be my pick everytime in the real world. Marbury would be better in NBA Live. Nash should be better than Marbury in Live too and not because he has more skill because he probably doesn't in real life, but because he is a great TEAM player.

The effect of players like Nash and Kidd are never seen in NBA Live and I say its about time we see it!

i would say that dynasty is most important to me with gameplay second. as far as having all the players, that is not usually thier fault. i would list that option differently, for instance, get all the players rated more properly. of course the rookies are always hard to rate and there will always be a few surprises like diaw this year, but they could do alot better than they do now.

[twolvesguy]

Gameplay IMO is the most important part by far, so you always need to focus your energy on improving that first.

[Matt]

if 07's gameplay is the same as 06 with some adjustments, even minor, i will consider buying the game.

It all depends on dynasty mode. I'm in 2010 with my Bucks franchise and i look around the league and the rosters are essentially the same with the exceptions of some new rookies, retired players and some, but few FA signings. Real life NBA has constant player movement and i wish Dynasty would too. I remember a few Lives ago this was the case and that needs to be re-implemented.

Also, the salary cap problem takes away flexibility of trades and signings from all teams. Every team, save for 1, is over the cap.

Of course there are other things that everyone wants like the MLE (which would make the current salary problem more than bearable) and better rookies.

[Metsis]

Rookies were pretty good in Live 06... I had a "very strong" rookies and my second rounder was a good scoring big man with overall 69... I was in the middle of the pack with that pick.

But the very weak drafts are very weak... They are bad. And the players they produce are too bad. This needs some work... The top of the draft is usually very balanced like this summer for example, there are 4-5 guys that are gunning for the first place and thus the top 5 picks will be solid to say at least.

[ataman5]

two of them are important,ı would love to see my players' being happy or not happy with the team chemistry it would be great as it is mentioned before in dynasty improvements

[eastinglandboi]

put online mode in ALL the countrys versions, jus cuz im from England i dont wanna not be able to kill this online mode thing like i did in 05 wen i had an american copy.
