Most of this is just glitz and glamour that gets old so fast... They bring nothing into the game except ambience.

The rosters have 15 slots or what version of NBA Live 95 have you been playing... And it is the official size of the roster. Three slots are the injured list and the injured list is way more forgiving than it is in real life in Live... In real life when a player gets placed on the injured list, he must stay there for atleast 5 games... That's why players with only minor injuries are kept on the active roster.

Arguing call was a major push from me last year and they shot it down as it goes against the character of the game. Same was with the early NHL games and fighting...

"20. Get more cap room when you win a championship"

Just does not happen... It really does not happen so this will never ever be in the game unless they do something weird with CBA next summer. I certainly hope that they won't do a big strike thing in the NBA like what's going on now in the NHL...

[kingtrobe807]

If you think this is only glamour and glitz, then you must not watch the NBA Becuz that is what the NBA is About. Maybe that is why the NBA live series isnt getting better.

[cashless__]

Well, among other things. But their number one concern in my opinion should be the gameplay off course. Get a fluid NBA basketball game with a billion different animations so you don't have to feel that the game just keeps repeating itself. But i agree with you... Atmosphere is really important. There are some killer game games that build their whole game on it's atmosphere, such as Half Life 2 (best first person shooter ever).

the NBA isn't about glamor and glitz.....it's about basketball. it's not the NGA (national glamor association)


oh, and anyone who thinks nba live isn't improving it a screwball. a screwball entitled to their own opinion, but a screwball all the same.

edit: the 2006 wishlist has already been submitted, but still good ideas. seen most of them before though

[jhunjhunjhunjhun]

Yup, Nba Live must be focus in gameplay not in such other things, Other thing like show is nothing if the gameplay is trash

[Air Jordon]

- Players that dont walk back accross the halfcourt line and get a backcourt violation for no reason.
- Players that dont shoot from behind the back board.
- Players that dont swoop in and block shots in the paint like a superhero.
- Players that dont walk straight out of bounds.
- Id like it for a team to go for three in the end if they need it, instead of teams going for 2 in the last seconds when they are down by 3.
- Less passes that end up out of bounds.
- Actual screens, instead of setting up a play and then doing an isolation.
- a game with less blocks, not everyone is mutombo
- I would like to be able to sim a game without having to press resume game between each quarter.
- I would like to see how plays work, they took this feature out.
- I would like to be able to save a replay in MPG and be able to show it on the net.
- Better music, not all live players like only rap
- A save feature for stats at the end of games (im sure they will leave this out, only later to make a patch to fix it. So lets remind them!)

all in all just better, more realistic gameplay without all the glitches, errors, whatever you want to call it. Maybe someone who can actually make jerseys/courts good. People at NLSC can make better jerseys and courts...and for EA, thats sad.

[galvatron3000]

how about more plays
in-bounding plays calls (with LOBS if it presents itself)
drawing up your own plays
practicing against(5 on 5) opponents defense & offense (especially human opponents)
Patent moves, go to move(for created players also)
power dunkers verses gliders
A greater sense of players height off the ground when in the air and a greater sense of gliders(one legged leapers) glider from a further distance

[blair710]

be able to do 2 on 2s, 3 on 3s and be able to do warm-ups

[blair710]

I think there should be a 3 on 3 game mode and 2 on 2 game mode that you could like select players from any team like on 1 on 1
and do a 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 game
kinda like on nba street.
It would be cool too to be able to do these 1on1/2on2/3on3 games on any court ex. Arco arena or Staples Center or whatever.

[blair710]

also i like the idea of a 2 player practice that you could have two players practicing and you could do alley oops and give & gos and stuff. It would be cool too if you could have like 5 player practice mode and have your starting lineup or whatever practicing.

Please don't triple post; edit your previous post if you've got something to add. Thanks.

I want to hear from everyone what they think about these ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ideas in no order of importance
2. Option to argue a call
20. Get more cap room when you win a championship

Argue a call? that would be pointless...evne in real life calls are NEVER changed, no matter how much they are argued...this isn't the NFL with a replay system..

Get more cap room? do you even know how the Salary Cap works in the NBA? or any professional sport?

I think Game play should be improved over anything that deals with presentation..

MVP Baseball 2005 has an "Argue Call" feature.

[JustBlaze]

Well that seems pointless to me...EA could have spent that time and energy to improve something else...I dont get what "Argue a call does"

does the call ever get changed in MVP after it is argued? if it does, then that is ridiculous because that never happens in any professional sport...Refs always stick with their call after they make it, even if they know they are wrong afterwards..

[POETICDRINK2U]

THE 7TH NUMBER

[J@3]

17. Have a radio option during dynasty mode-like madden 2005

No point, it sucks. If it was implimented EA would be making a huge deal about it, then by the time the game's released it becomes apparent that nothing else has really improved but we have a repetitive irrelevant radio show!

[41mavs41]

12. Jerseys move
13. Player expressions--bad shot,miss free-throw, big shot, block
14. Show players sweating
16. Show fans leaving when score gets bad and have empty seats during
the game with less noise
18. add past championship teams--with actual faces and names

These were the probably the best one you had imo

[gilbert]

danm thats a grat idea like the player talk in half time like why his team is ahed also like what he did to stop a person

[Captain Chris]

tell that to all us yankee fans. last year the umps called AROD safe vs. the sox in i tihnk game 7. and the red sox manager, terry francona comes out to argue the call. they agreed with him that Arod knocked the ball from arroyo's hand. HE SO DIDNT. so sometimes they do get reversed.

[Do']

all that you say king trobe is good idea

And that is why baseball sucks...

I want to hear from everyone what they think about these ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ideas in no order of importance

1. Before and After the game Reporters Reporting No. Dialogue would get old fast.
2. Option to argue a call Would be nice, but NBA will never let it happen
3. Bench Players become Live in the game I dont understand.
4. Different Commentary in games--Hall of Famers, Past Coaches,
Players Again, where are the sound files going to be stored? Only so much room on a DVD or CD. Also, it would get boring fast. And game price would go up because we would be paying for those hall of famers to talk.
5. More In-Game Music Yes. And more music period. Maybe you can play your own music like in Madden?
6. Halftime ShowNah. That would get really old fast
7. Add Different Announcers for Different teamsThat would be nice
8. Starting Lineup pre-game Show for home teamThey already kinda have that
9. Have players fall into the stands, fans,cameras-when doing a
fastbreak,saving the ball Thats good
10. Have players get injured during game play and not stopping the play
until you say--you are defence and a player gets injured on your
team--offence doesnt careThat would be cool too
11. trash talking during the gameNBA Wont let that happen
12. Jerseys moveThey will in '06
13. Player expressions--bad shot,miss free-throw, big shot, blockLive '06
14. Show players sweatingLive '06
15. Add more roster spots to the team--some teams have 15 playersThats not how the NBA Works.
16. Show fans leaving when score gets bad and have empty seats during
the game with less noise They did that in the Triple Play series... They should do it here too
17. Have a radio option during dynasty mode-like madden 2005It was retarded in Madden and would be retarded in Live.
18. add past championship teams--with actual faces and namesWould be nice
19. Create-a-team option with custom coarts, jerseys, city, name, artWould be nice
