Summer League may be pushing it, but why can't there be a Pre-season, Madden has it, I would personally think alot of people would enjoy it as they can run their Young Euro's, High Schoolers & Scrubs Mad!!!

I'de love to see that ..
And they should wear the real summer league jerseys, play in those little gyms, half seatet stadiums and all of that ...

I kind of like the idea
Playing other teams in practice jerseys
And maybe this could contribute to the player ratings some how, who knows

Yeah .. And if a player in your team is playing really well in the summer laegue, it will give him more confidence for the upcoming season and play beter. Same thing for the whole team .. But of course, you run the risk of geting your players injured ..

Yea I just thought of that as I was reading your post, about the injury thing

Pre-season and summer leagues... I think the 82 NBA schedule is enough games to play already... 25 years of dynasty takes a lot of time to complete.
If a pre-season games would have some sort of an effect on the pre-season camp success this could possibly work it's way on the list...
But I ain't too keen on more games thrown into a year of action...

I like the idea of pre-season games, say 4 to 6 games, and I don't think it would require that much time for EA to implement into the game. But with pre-season games, you must also have the ability to have more than 15 players on your team during the off-season (to be cut before the season begins).
Maybe do the off-season as it is (draft, sign FA's, etc), and before starting the regular season, you must have 21 players on your team. Then you play 6 pre-season games and must cut one player after each game. Which would bring the total to 15 at the season start. All without counting toward the salary cap if signed during the off-season process.
If you ask for jerseys and special arenas, that might be pusing it for the first year. Just creating a pre-season game process for the NBA LIVE 2006 will not be too complicated for them I feel, and let the patchers create the special shirts. Then in LIVE 2007, EA could add the different arenas and the shirts.
I think it would be feasable and a good addition to make Training more realistic and dependent on the human actions rather than the more simple process currently in the game.
Of course, by making pre-season games a ON/OFF option, the more casual players, or the players like Metsis who play 82 games per season (hardcore bro, thats long!) rather than the shorter version of 29 games per season, would be able to turn it off without being penalize in training.

I'm sure if pre-season games are implemented in the schedule, we would be able to simulate them the same as training camp. That could also add a little more realism and challenge to the game - in simulation, you might lose a key player to injury in the pre-season leaving you shorthanded when the regular season begins.

LOL......Andrew your signature is a classic

.......n yeah I guess they should cut those practice sessions n include something like a summer league n pre-season.
Thu Jan 13, 2005 4:27 pm
Thanks Najira...it's been a long time since they were up that high this late in the season.

As for cutting practice sessions, I don't think they'd need to do that. They just need to push back Training Camp and add a pre-season schedule of 8 games per team. Summer League would be nice, but EA could implement a decent pre-season schedule with the roster management as-is. It would be better to have a 21 man roster for the pre-season, but just being able to play pre-season games (placing your stars on the IR so they wouldn't risk getting injured if you like) would be a start.
That's just my opinion though. Pre-Season isn't a huge deal for me so I'm more willing to accept a more basic version of it.

Andrew, why the hell wasn't pre-season in the official NLSC 2006 Wishlist then!? I think out of all the things they asked, pre-season should've been high, we want realism don't we? as you say, summer league could take a while...... but again, as you say, implementing a pre-season would be easy! I also reckon that we should be able to actually play the practice sessions... eg. when you have a "individual practice" and say you put 100 on shooting, have 5 minutes where a coach passes you the ball and you shoot from various positions on the court, what do you reckon!?

Please calm down. It is in the NBA Live 2006 Wishlist - the fourth point under Dynasty Mode, in fact.

I really don't think summer league jerseys and stadiums are too much to ask for. Hell, i could do 30 home and away jerseys myself in like 2 or 3 days... Not only would the summer league be a great experience, graphic and variation wise in it's nature, but you would also have some actual use for it. I think they should trim up the auto-subs so you really get a feeling of your players current status. And as i said, a good summer league would lead to a good start of the season ..
Fri Feb 04, 2005 11:51 am
if not summer league then maybe minor, like the nbdl. like callups
Thu Mar 03, 2005 10:12 pm
I like the Preseason Idea, I always wanted it, hope they'll do it...

Plus I'd like to train players ourself in Dynasty mode, like doing 1-on-1, Training Shoots, etc... It'd be awesome !
