NBA Live 07 Wishlist

[BHD]

I WISH THAT EA WUD FIND A WAY HOW TO ENABLE OR CREATE "AI CROWD" MEANING THAT IF THE HOME TEAM IS DOWN BY 20 OR 30 IN THE GAME WITH LETS SAY 2 MINS LEFT THE CROWD SHUD SLOWLY DISAPPEAR U KNOW WAT I MEAN? THEIR TEAM IS HOPELESS ITS A LOSS SO WHAT SHOULD THEY DO THEY GO HOME RYT.. THEY MUST NOT STILL BE THERE AND CHEER AS IF ITS A CRUCIAL GAME OR PLAYOFFS JUST A THOUGHT DIZ WUD GIV US MORE REALISTIC GAMEPLAY AND I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE HOME CROWD ALSO CHEER AND APPLAUD TO THE VISITING TEAM THIS SHUD NOT BE THE CASE IT SHUD BE SHEER SILENCED CROWD OR OOOHS AND AHHHS REACTION WENEVER AN AWAY TEAM MAKES A BASKET AND I HOPE THAT THEY WUD ADD UP RANDOM HALFTIME SHOWS SPECIALLY IN THE PLAYOFFS LIKE SPECIAL CELEBRITY APPEARANCE I KNOW THEY CAN DO THAT ... INVITE RAPPERS AND STUFF THAT WUD BE GREAT...

but if someone scores 20pts in 2 minutes
like tracy mcgrady ;]

i have a wish,
i want to be player on the side of another one who can give the game his attributes, i hate games with slow speed and where the players don't take it on their own hands. everybody who is played by cpu in my team has to take chances by their own way and not by the playbooks, which are very boring. ea please don't understand it wrong, but i can't help i miss humans on the court. kirk hinrich isn't a machine. think differnt and don't try to be pat riley or phil jackson. please don't try. thanks

CLUTCH rating. I was so fed up today that I can't hit big shots with either Kobe or Tmac.
The clutch rating should allow these NBA Clutch players to hit shot over defenders. In 2006 I wanted to play the way Tmac plays, pull up infront of a defender, but the animation sucks and the shot will miss 98%. I wish they can implement this rating and also hv new animations for those super fast jumpshot pull ups like Kobe or Tmac. Sorry for bad english, rushing to bed.

-Bring back the BEHIND camera angle for standard gameplay. The third person view isn't easy to control but I've always enjoyed it.

-I'd like to see the audio become more "patcher-friendly" in the future so patch makers can manipulate the announcer's voice to say custom/added players

[Num33Baller]

1) Superstar mode.

2) Franchise, like in Madden 06. Ability to rebuild arenas, move teams, sign free agents, actually trade draft picks, etc.

3) Make the court feel like Live 2005 again... In 06 it seemed like the court got smaller for some reason.

4) Ability to save mid game.

5) Create a Team

6) Create a fan (like in madden)

7) Ability to assign captains etc in franchise

8) Automate scouts a little bit if you want (the adding of coaches into franchise was a good idea).

9) Focus on gameplay, keep the graphics the same.

10) No more behind the backboard "fouls" that don't get called.

11) Have shooters go on a streak, etc. Like Peja has a cold night, but sometimes he has a hot night where he goes 7/10 from 3pt land, even double teamed.

12) Realistic draft.

13) Like I said, improve the gameplay, keep gfx and sound the same, add cutscenes, new modes, (heck most of the code is the same as in Madden... CUT AND PASTE PLEASE) maybe show a little cutscene when a new coach is hired/fired, players traded... Also have a Newspaper thing like in Madden's franchise, top players of the week, etc. Have NBA TV show top 10 plays of the week.

[vaagohl]

1. change practise mode to the one in FIFA series: gamers can choose from 1,2,3,4 or 5 on 0,1,2,3,4 or 5
2. better rookie generation: less 6-2 SGs and 6-6 PFs. better naming system so it wont make up japanese named chinese players from time to time there are very strong rookies entering the league like lebron james did in 2003
3. in dynasty mode computer offering trades more, and does trades among computer controlled teams. make draftpicks really tradable
4. 10 days contract , or 3/5 games contract for less games seasons
5. let gamers that use keyboard can enjoy all function joystick/gamepad users can
6. preseason games. a team can have more than 12 active players in that period and more than 15 on roster
7. delete less rookies after offseason
8. computer to sign free agents. gamer able to offer sign and trade deals
9. this may make the game too complicated, but it sounds good if the GM in dynasty mode have to care about tickets, fans etc

My Wish List

- If EA could copy AND improve the Shot Stick system of 2K6, it would kill. EA for years has promised "Freestyle Air" but all I have seen through the years is the separate dunk/layup button and thats it. I've been a Live fan since '95 but this year I've learned to love the Shot Stick...

- Physics... 'nuff said

- Better TV Presentation (including cut scenes), ESPN License shouldn't be put to waste

- Tone down Freestyle Superstar effectivity

[[L3]1101]

Don't know if this has been poasted or not:

I would like EA to implement a system in the dynasty mode where the owner pressures me to clear some cap space. For example, if i'm playing the Knicks, the owner would send me emails telling me to clear the cap to about 20 mil in the next few years instead of the 40-50 mil they have right now. I can't think of a good penalty for not clearing th cap, but a possible one would be the owner forces a trade that can clear the cap. This gives the game deeper gameplay and penalizing people from making "all-star" teams, which is quite un-realistic (this of course can also be fixed if EA improved the trading part of the game).

Afterall the goal of a good GM is to have a balance between winning team and salary cap. Of course winning matters more than the salary cap, but their is always an limit. A winning team's owner may allow a bit more over the cap.
Implementing this, i believe, will allow the players to experience the business side of being a GM rather than just the basketball part.

My wish list:
- More legends (or at least bring back those legends they took away)
- Include more shoes (and1, fila, etc..)
- At least wait before the season starts before releasing.. that way the rosters are more accurate..
- Add ability to:
* hire and fire coaches
* set plays
* renogotiate contracts in the middle of the season (like buying out contracts)
* more cpu activities in both season and dynasty modes, that way the season doesn't look so dull with players stuck to one team for the rest of their career..
- better gameplay if not better graphics
- bring back the user function they took away from 2005..(it was in 2004)

That's all I can think of for now..

[coolmkv69]

I skimmed thru most of the thread but I didn't notice anybody say anything about this issue.

The ability to sort columns when you look at stat central or during substitutions during a game. I've been playing Live for years and I have no clue why they took it out this year.

My $0.02 for now.

[Avrah3]

Add the abilty to make a created player have a certant wingspan.

[lassen24]

make better primacy ratings, i hate when i sim games with the bulls, and ben gordon scores 6 ppg. another thing i forgot was in the team stats page in dynasty mode, i wanna know my teams ppg and papg.

[carsley]

1. smaller heads the players look al little cartoonish
2. WARM UP GEAR!!! like nba 2k series
3. EA has the ESPN lisence right?? make an option where you go to ESPN.com
and check out dunks of the week, the top 10 plays or hightlights from other games
also if you score like 50 points with a player they should have like a newspaper article that says, Rachard Lewis scored 50 points bla bla bla how do you feel? it feels good bla bla bla my teammates kept feeding me the ball bla bla.
4. better AI
5. NO ICESKATING!!!
6. more customization of the players like tattoo's, haircolor ,hairstyle and so on
7. custom teams!!! pleaaasssee! i loved the custom teams whoever decided to not include them anymore SUCKS!!!
8. better create a player mode!! EA WHAT IS WORNG WITH YOU GUYS!!?? jesus christ i know you can do better than what you have showed us the past 5 years
nba live 2000 for pc had almost a perfect create a player mode just use that on
and update the graphics
9. i have been saying this for the past 5 years THE CROWD SUCKS MAKE THEM 3D AND THE WHOLE GAME LOOKS BETTER trust me
10. just make it better, the next gen version sucked ya'll know now what NOT to do
oooh i almost forgot you should also wait with releasing the game EA should wait until the actual NBA season strarts that way all the players will be at their original team

[NJNETSFANFORLIFE]

a couple of ideas to make the game realstic:

1.Include Skills Challenge,and that other mode(with 1 current player and 1 legend)
2.include 3on3,4on4(just like Like Live 97)
3.Add a Superstar Mode(Just like in Madden)

[stepback3]

make the controller for pc much easier, not that we have to bind the x and y keys, and also, make the courts more realistic, i hate when all courts are the same, the dornas. more shoes and other team gears, tattoos and also create a new team, like in live2000, with their own court and jerseys dmn that would be a kick ass... some nicknames also for the created playahs, and more realistic jerseys and CF 2 on2 or 3 on3 on urban court will be good too

[kzero123]

okay, there's just too much to add to this game but here are the main ones tht will i think increase realism and re-playability. animations, damn it ea, might as well use a DVD and add more animations, and emtion. how live is a game when a player stares straitght..atleast make their mouth open up a bit and yelling out plays will make this game feell more live.a deeper and more reasonable dynasty.i don't wanna see 6'9" centre, or pg slower than my centers. EA, you're the biggest game maker out there, please invest a little bit more in graphics, i mean 2k sports are way smaller than you, and their games look..well better. Damn it second year in a row, those darn annoying pda crap. But one huge thing that nba 06 just inspire me. those training mini games and team practices. If you add some sort of practice and drills practice, this will make this game soo much better. like umm. each good release shot you make will get you some exp.or winning games will give you exp, kinda like mario tennis. i would like to see a player grow each game. and i know i am asking a lot, here few more suggestions.

bring back the back down key, make FSS ability use stamina, and use the r3 button for fss trigger, i tried it out and it actually works not that bad, or it's just that i got use to it. R3 is when you press down on your left analog stick.

Top 10 play of the week, drool, i think it could be done, i am not sure how but an espn showing good plays of the week will surely help.

pressing triangle or something will automatically dive for the ball and put it back in bounds. that is a must. Hustle wins games:)

For sure, i know that the 60 CDN i am paying is not what i am getting. hope this helps:)

[NBAFAN2005]

KEEP FREESTYLE SUPERSTARS!

This feature is probably the best gameplay feature the game has seen....superstars need to be seperated from the other shmo's from in the L and FSS does this, please EA keep this feature and continue to improve on it!

[nubstick]

MAKE THE DAMN GAME HARDER!!! I BEAT TEAMS BY 100+ on superstar thats friggin BS!

[BIG GREEN]

I'd like to see that happen. Play as hawks vs. detroit and try that again.

[Mikki]

A two step (drive) sounds good.

[Codsta]

My bigest beef with EA is over the rebounding but ill just make a list (this will prolly be long haha)

Player customization

There should be more/better options for
.the hair
.the face
.personality ie laid back for say someone like T-mac and intense for say AI
.Body style/muscles (the arms on anyone that wasnt thick were like sticks
.MORE SHOES - no more of that crappy generated shoes
GET THE DAMN AND 1 LICENSE oh and maybe the p-miller, magic and shaq ones as well
.Nicknames - im sick of the "no. 233333!" crap so yea get the voice overs to say some names and nicknames like "the king" or watever.
.Face masks
.finger splints


The crowd

.have the crowd chant names when someone is on fire or boo certain people. (like VC in Toronto, or Utah cheering for Bogut)
.In dynasty if a team is doin badly the crowd numbers will be down (you should visably be able to see the unfilled seats) and in places like NO there just generally isnt as many people as say Dallas or Pheonix

Dynasty Mode

.include team practices with the whole team so you can do scrimages or rebounding drills or 1 on 1, 2 on 2 etc.
. i think what people saying about bringing in the D-league is a good idea but maybe just put the players in the free agent pool and that goes for the euro leagues as well (at least the promising players) u should be able to promote and demote people to the D-league throghout the season
.moral - teams that are loosing find it harder to win than teams that are on a role. also i think team chemistry is a good idea, more training and practices together will increase the chemistry leading to better performances

Injuries

.you should be able to have face masks and finger splints, strapping etc for your players
.more types of injuries - all i see during dynasty is achillies heal tears or watever and bone spurs in feet. i rarley see broken noses and back spasms which fequent nba players.
.after a player returns from an injury they should wear strapping or a face mask or a brace or watever for say a week or so after it.

Graphics

.ill just say they need a major upgrade from 06 (eg. the stick bodies)

Gameplay

.more layups, players that are over say 60 in dunking only seem to do dunks i say mix it up or like sum1 sed have a button (altough that would be hard for consoles) or hold down a button solely for layups.
.rebounding - i hate it in 06 quite frankly. almost every time one of my cpu controlled players goes for a rebound it is to tip slam it (and they always attempt this after the ball has already been rebounded). also my teamates seem to move away from the goals if i take a shot wen they arnt quite in position yet, instead of following the ball in. or more likely they just run down to play defense as soon as i shoot and dont even bother to attempt to rebound the ball at all. i find in games even when my stats are way higher than the cpu's in rebounds i still cannot get as many as them.

well thats my suggestions, a little bit long, but i had to get it off my chest

[King James #23]

cutscenes and trading for draft picks easier!! the commentators announcing names and putting the primacy rating back where we can change it easier without having to use DBF editing and risk losing files (if u didnt back them up)

[lakers88]

-the first thing should be, sliders, for every min & every skill lvl, and till be able to adjust them
-3D accessorys
-replays, to be able to save the replay, not just take a picture
-free throw practice
-and the superstar ability shoul be aveilable in the game only when u are on o hot streak(shoters, scorers, blablabla). it shouldn't be aveliable all the game
-CUT SCENES
-award ceremony
-i wanna see emotions in the replays on the players face...reactions...like in fifa
-team shoes
-all the players should be on the bench...not apera from nowhere...and wear their trainings suits
-NEWS....like the best player of the weak, or when a record is broken, or a very good performance
-and make all the C, PF to be able to block, the diference should be how often they block and hoo...mihm can't block o'neal...but i think he can block boykins
-commentators should be able to say the name of a created player...cause the rosters are really bad...so u gotta create your own roster
-the pass interceptions should.t be take as turnovers
-and check for BUGS...and release some patches if u can't find them before u release the game

That's all...good luck...o, and when the year change i think they should change the menu too, not only the colors

[VlaDiv]

How about career stats in the xbox 360 version for dynasty?
That means all previous seasons and then the future seasons seemlessly enter into his career stats. Put in things like career highs as well.

[mero23]

Make it so we can AT LEAST save our game at half-time!, each quarter would be even better.....so sick of not being able to save in game.
