EA should just incorporate things that they have been removing each year, for instance
Facial Expression On court (2000-2003)
Real time shadows (2000-2003)
Hi-res Textures (2003)
More Street Courts - Give me a break (2003)
Predictions for this year
Official Announcement May 8th
Game will NOT have the Next-gen engine, instead will be a port from the consoles again
New Game Mode to get criticism off the dynasty mode: I think some kind of player developement mode like Superstar in Madden
Finally hear us - Create a Team will be back
BUT ea i think will change file formats this year so advanced patching will not happen for monthes after release
PC will get Hi-res jerseys and stadiums like Xbox
bump mapping/normals on jerseys (like xbox version this year)
Jerseys will "move" (like 2k6 not XBOX 360)
Next-gen Menu System will be incorperated somehow, someway
There will be another 1v1 court to play on (along with Tandy from this year and the Urban Court) The 2003 practice gym will no longer be in the game
Half Time will include a "play of the half" same with the end of game...but it will suck (lower resolution and it will use the "Superstar Camera")
ESPN bottom line - Just like MVP Baseball this year
Comeback Glitch will be dealt with
Auto-replays for non FSS plays
3 way trading will NOT be in the game
Cut scenes will be back
the Bench will react to plays like they did in 2003
no cheerleaders
there will be 1 more ref that will run the court with the players
and there will be a good net animation
Calling it...
Worst Soundtrack ever
Best Gameplay to date
Best Graphics yet
Worst Announcing
My stretch for this year, but i think they are actually going to do it.....Team practices like 2k6 and 3v3 mode[/list][/list]
