- More interactive shot blocking.
No more players just jumping straight up in the air even when they're not close to the opposition player.
The ability to block a shot after a foul is committed would be nice too.
- More atmosphere in the Arenas. Maybe more crowd chants or mascot antics.
I like the fact the crowds do the MVP chant and wear the colours during playoffs.
It would be nice if they did something extra during rivalry games.
- Less 70's porno moustaches on supposedly 19 year old rookies.
Some generated players look stupid. It would ruin a game for me if I got a number 1 pick and he had a bright red afro and moustache.
- Ability to create custom teams and add them to Dynasty Mode.
I used to love doing this on Live '99. I used to fill them up with created players and take on the real stars.
Maybe they could add the ability to play an expansion draft scenario or a relocation scenario to explain the new team.
- Game created highlights package after every game that can be uploaded for use in Dynasty stories.
Having to pause and upload replays during a game can be a real momentum killer.
They have highlights at the end of each quarter anyway. Why not be able to save and upload them?
- More detailed off-season period.
It would be nice to see which players will be free agents before you spend your cap room on re-signing your own players.
Also the ability to offer players a contract and then give them a day or two to think about it. So you can off multiple players deals and then pick who you want to sign.
Instead of the current system of you sign a player and then the next 3 best players could be signed up by other teams before you get a chance.
They introduced it on FIFA 11 where instead of just offering a player a contract and if he accepts it he's your player, you can offer several players deals.
Then they get a couple of days to think about it and you can either accept or reject the proposal depending on who you want the most.
- More in-depth draft. More details on the draftees. Predicted rating for them.
Instead of just having the mock draft list, they should have newspaper interviews or articles explaining who each team needs/is likely to go for.
Maybe have some hype about potential top picks. "Player A could be the next LeBron" or something.
- Improved scouting features.
They should implement a scouting system similar to FIFA's. Your scout gives you a report on a player that includes a potential rating.
The higher the level of your scout, the more acurate the potential rating is. Say level 1 would say 70-90, but level 5 would say 78-80.
- Improved Dynasty mode.
Weekly newspaper article w/ trade rumours, injury news etc.
On the FIFA games a mock newspaper article comes up after you sign a player or suffer a long term injury.
Anything to make it seem more like real life would be nice.
-Coach contracts and the ability to change teams.
Another thing that would be nice is the ability to change teams in the off-season during Dynasty Mode.
Obviously not just to any team you like, but they should have a list of teams without coaches at the end of the season.
You can either choose to re-sign with your current team or pick one of the others that don't have coaches.
Maybe even introduce coach contracts and you only get to choose at the end of your contract.
-It would be nice if the Player of the game award was handed out after the game and not with a couple minutes left.
Because anything can happen in the last few minutes of games. Unless the game is a blow-out and one player is obviously a stand out performer.
And add an award at the end of the season for the player with the most POTG's received.
-Trade variations
Some more variables in trades would be nice. Things like multiple team trades, future draft picks, Sign and trade etc.
Maybe a 3 year limit for future draft picks that are traded.
-Injuries
I can't recall ever having any players get injured on any of my games. Not saying I want my players to get injured, but some realism would be nice.
