Some wishlist idea's.....

OK, Im a pretty avid NBA Live fan, so a few things start to annoy me over time, heres what id like to see change....
In Live 05 theres "sets" of rookie drafts, some rare, some common, but i dont like the idea of seeing the same 5-10 draft prospects in the same order every dynasty i play. Make it completely random!
Live 05 lacks ANY decent PG rookies in dynasty mode, there all retarded in 1 or more major area.
EG theyve got great passing, off aware, ball handling, something like 85 for speed but only 58 for quickness which is unrealistic.
Live 05 definately bought in to the "combo guard" thing way too far, theres way too many 6"1' SG's, people like Billups who are great combo guards are a RARE BREED, I dont need to see 10 of them every draft!
I think they should bring back the "Nickname" option. It'd be great to be able to give your best draft picks their own nickname so there not "number 45" to the commentators.
FIX THE BLOCK PROBLEM, CPU blocks too many shots, just like I get too many steals!
I dont like the fact that you have to check EVERY message that comes through if your simulating the regular season in dynasty mode just to catch the odd trade offer you recieve. It should stop your simulation if you're being offered a trade, and the CPU should instigate more trades!!! Especially since the CPU tends to stack teams with SG's or SF's
anyways, thats my 2 cents worth,. what do ya rekkon?

i dont like how teams stack up with sg's and sf's
the AI should be smarter lets say if they are lacking in C and they got 5 sg's at 80 overall they SHOULD trade for C
and if let's say the AI has their best Center at 56 overall, and they have 2 power forwards, one of them at 70 overall, the other 72 and one of the power forwards 2nd position is Center so they should make the PF/C into their starting Center (thats what i do but i also edit their position..)
blocks = too many, on live 04, LaFrentz would get 11 blocks by jumping from the free throw line
steals, i used to get a lot but now i get like 1 a game cos i just play tight D, that's how i win by 80 points
i haven't played live 05, but i think they hav improved the 2nd round of the draft, but there should be more steals in the 2nd round like Van Exel, on live 04 the 2nd round players were like 30 overall and useless and most got deleted
and with deleting players, some players in the Free agency should decided to go to the Euro League or just quit/retire at 26/new job or career.
More options after a retirement of any player, a record of who a player has played for should be kept and if you want you can retire their number at your team
better option for new players into your team and changing their numbers, rookies with numbers in the 60s 70s and 80s isnt good lookin
meh this is my 1 1/2 cents worth
