NBA Live 07 Wishlist

[dshay7]

For NBA Live 07, I've got 2 words.......

Broken Backboard!!

I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember Daryl Dawkins, but he shattered the backboard twice....and it was awesome!! Shaq ripped the whole goal down twice early in his career but you don't ever see those highlights anymore. Obviously, I want a whole lot more than just the ability to break the backboard (and it shouldn't happen that often) but little things like that would really make the game stand out.

Also:

- Every legend imaginable with their names said by the commentators

- You should be able to go back and replay any season you want.......hmmm...I feel like taking the 93 bulls to the championship....or I feel like taking Magic and the Lakers to Finals against Larry and the Celtics......I realize that a game with every team from every season would be huge in size.....so make it a DVD like GTA San Andreas or something.....use the technology!

- In March Madness 04 (I think), you are able to replay the last few seconds of some of the biggest games ever and try to hit the winning shot, or try to come back and win, etc. How cool would that be in NBA Live 07? Let's say I want to go back and hit that Derek Fisher game winner against the Spurs a few years ago.....or Jordan's jumper at the buzzer against the Cavs in 89...That would rock!!!

- I also agree with everyone who said to have highlights after the game, cutscenes for trophy presentations, etc.

- I want the playoffs to FEEL like the playoffs!! Give me some excitment! Crowd going crazy, bench going crazy, and my teammates going nuts after I hit a big shot.

I'll just link what I want since I posted it already http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic33115.php

[dunkerdirk]

I think I'd like to see halftime reports and key matchups(NBA 2k6).
I'd also like some see some triple or quadruple (if possible)overtime games by the CPU teams. I want to see my player's name or team's name when I tie a record(like if somebody gets 17 blocks and i get 17 blocks too my player's name should be listed too ) And I want to see recaps of the game(if possible) and a newspaper with all the NBA news, including trade rumors. I want to be able to be promoted from GM to let's say vice president. I want to see some players drinking Gatorade or something when they're on the bench. I want something like Dynasty Mode Rosters when players are injured in real life they'll be put in the injury report and not the inactive list. Also I want to see a TV or something showing the highlights from the game.

[Blasphemy]

I really want there to be better AI. I want to see player expressions also, like if they miss a shot they frown for a minute or to. Maybe make some team chemistry. Also you know how they got the League leaders they really need to make more options. Example such as turnovers per 48 minutes or player effitiantcy. Also the created rookies in dynasty mode need to have a player portrait.
There are alot of flaws but if they just spend an extra half a year and add more features they will be the best.

[tk23]

if you look at fifa soccer 06 and pro evolution 5, the majour difference in the 2 gamnes is the fact that pro evo has certain players that do trade mark plays, shots, runs, or passes etc. i think that if nba live do this and pay extra extra special attention to the allstars in our game, this would increase alot of love for the game. individualize! shaq an his dunks, artest an his defense, jordan and his everything, malone with his free throws, ray allen with his shots, wade with his dunks.... but make it so only they can do such things as in real life! thanks

[BHD]

fix the shotclock
it looks crappy and the numbers in it looks kinda blury

[neobrucelee]

Practice game mode where you take your team or teams in and practice plays and such.

Not just individual practice.

Much much much, more collision detections and collision animations.

Point guards should not be able to run in the lane and make a layup 90% of the time with centers and forwards jumping at them.

Nerf super star moves.

"Best of Teams" Each team has a retro roster of the best that has played for that team, also "Best of Decade" rosters, have the EA team design these rosters from the past.

Ultimate rosters = full nba rosters of each decade = D

Have Marv and Steve announce legends names and have recorded dialogue for each legend.

Where are legends like steve kerr, dale ellis, mitch richmond, dennis scotT?

Halftime reports, announce trible doubles and quadruple doubles.

[zakIrah]

i wouldnt be surprised if someone posted this but have the legends in the game, just dont put the names and where they come from down. be able to edit their stats so we dont have anymore WHERES MJ threads and stuff. plus, make a downloadable disc off the shelves for roster updates and shoes and the such, coz us people with pal cant download

[captainfunksauce]

for the love of god please bring back the user profiles for nba live. they were taken out after 2004 and haven't been back since. me , as well as many others, loved this feature. me and my friends love making our own profiles and keeping up with our stats and seeing how bad or good we were in areas and comparing them to each other. it was great. please bring it back. other things that need improved are gameplay, player and team reactions to circumstances/plays. i still love the game have been a customer for the entire franchise and still will be until i find a reason not to. so i know improvements will be made, but please bring back user profiles, it's a must.

[captainfunksauce]

i can't remember who asked this, but here it is. it's when someone is running into you and you just start sliding/skating out of the way like you're standing on some ice and you weight about that of a cloud. in other words, the physics of the game need improved greatly. people don't slide on their feet in the direction they get pushed in real life. it's pretty annoying, because you can't defend getting slid around like an ice skater. and of course, "bring back user profiles" :d

when i was playig nba live 2006 zydrunas was going on a fast break and did a 360
LOL
there is a lot of flaws i 'd like too see the players on the floor huddle up and motivating each other or after a slam players on the floor or the bench jumping or like saying incredible the commentator also says the same things all the time when i play every time a player below 80 percent from the free throw line shoots they say it was a good foul because he is a bad free throw shooter they say it all the time
some times in dynasty after the first end of the season and playoffs they say that a team is offering you to be the coach well why it's always one team it would be better to have several teams offering you to be the coach
and i know it's hard but wouldn't it be cool if they could put top plays of the day and the dribbling moves are the always the same
also i think that almost every PG should have the playmaker option i mean dan dickau and others
THIS IS THE BEST THERE SHOULD BE A SECTION WHERE YOU CAN PLAY 1ON 1 2 ON TWO THREE ON THREE OR 5 ON FIVE LIKE AND 1 AND DO MOVES OR EMBARASS THE PLAYERS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW ANKLE BREAKERS WHERE THEY SHOW YOU STEPHON MARBURY ON YAO MING AND AFTER MARBURY DID A COOL CROSSOVER YOU SEE YAO FALL ON THE FLOOR IT WAS FUNNY

[baller(1)]

I THINK THE COMMENTATORS SHOULD SAY LIKE IF WE WERE IN THE PLAYOFFS THAT IF THE TEAM TAHT WINS GAME ONE WINS THE SERIES 80 % AND EVEN SO
THE COMPUTER SHOULD OFFER TRADES BIG TRADES NOT LIKE SASHA VUJACIC FOR DAN DICKAU LIKE AMARE FOR WADE AND SO
when scoring at the buzzer you should see player jumping on the guy that scored the last shot and not the same thing if he scores again like he can fall on the ground or run the floor or rn to his team mates and jump over them

[Lappi]

1. More animations
2. More relistic pass, dunks etc.
3. Better graphic
4. 2on2 mode
5. More options in Dynasty Mode

[captainfunksauce]

I would also like to see better starting lineup presentations. I would like to see a halftime report with highlights. Better celebrations, from in game players, bench players and coaches, crowd. better commentary. with the next gen consoles out now, it should be much easier to add more stuff in and upgrades.

[Edgas09]

I think that hot/cold streaks(like in nhl) would make the game more interesting...
The newspaper would be good...It's like when player scores many points,the newspaper says that how that was great,he's unbelievable or smth...and the photo of this player would be nice...
Make the posibility to create the custom team which can play in dynasty mode...
Make more stats...Like season/career/team highs,double/triple doubles...
Make sorting much easier...
In create player mode get more accesories(tatoos on everywhere you want,bands with number like Ben Wallace have one) and facial hair and haircuts...Also make ability to choose the celebration when player scores or win an important match(like in fifa06)...
In players freestyle make a list of moves,and then you can choose for each player the lay-ups or dunks which you like best...For example: If your player is highflyer-you can select a 360 dunk,dunk from foul line or smth...Or if your player is scorer-you can select the unbelievable lay-ups like Iverson makes...But make that it also belongs on player ratings...
In gameplay make replays,many cutscenes...
Make technical fouls...
I don't like that in superstar mode I run slower with player whi had 99 speed and acceleration than a player who had 70 or 80 speed and acceleration...
Make passes more realistic...When player is moving and passing,make that he don't stop running...Make that players who isn't playmaker can also send some streetball passes(It's like when you double push pass button-the player make some kind of streetball pass)...
Make that the players with high dribbling rating can do some streetball dribble...
Make the comentators talks more interesting...And make that arena crowd make much more noise,and singing songs...In important matches(like in play-offs)make that in 4th quarter the crowd makes so much noise that you can't hear comentators...
Make ability the basket to crash...It's like SHAQ dunks and he crashes the board(like he done when he was playing for Orlando)...It would be beatiful...
Make the CPU shoots more from mid-range...
Make some kind a show when the time-out is called or at the halftime...
Make more players expressions when they scores or in the end of the quarter or game(when they just walks out)...
Make new menu and more realistic dynasty mode!!!



I'm playing NBA LIVE every day since 2000 and I'm with high hopes that in NBA2007 we'll find everything what we didn't find before in all NBA LIVE versions...So FOR GOD tell to EA that they better make a REAL GAME...Because I'm loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Edgas09]

Dshay7 said that it would be cool that you can go back in retro games and play the legendary finals or smth...YES,IT WOULD BE VERY COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!

[Avrah3]

they should make it posible to tap a rebound to a teamate

[lassen24]

they should make the dunk/layup button better.
eg. tap it and he will do a lay up, hold it, and he will dunk.

[A!]

1. be able to move your team to a new city and change jersey and arena, or be able to franchise a new team, that would be hot

2. mini game training camp like madden

3. highlights reel

[Avrah3]

be able to have 8 players in dunk contest

[doriel]

Make the CPU more intelligent... when it loses by 3, the CPU takes its time to shoot for 2. Crap...
A new dynasty mode : I don't want the fantasy anymore. Make the dynasty start in 1980 with all the realistic drafts each year until the year of the release of the game.
STOP with the FS steal move ! As suggested before, make the FS moves more energy consuming for the players. Include a clutch factor (as suggested also before) for the players able to win the game in the clutch time.
STOP with the bugs like you go for dunk or layup then you draw contact in the air and you are finally out of bounds.
Let the players save the best moments through the replay screen and export them to mpeg.

CURRENT GEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Broken Backboards, and jump balls and kick balls.

[thegreatdivide]

Just a few.

1) Off-ball FSS....Kobe, Lebron, T-Mac....they all have the ability to turn on a dime at speed...they have the bball IQ to know where to take their man and how to lose him.
This needs to be implemented because basketball is played just as much off the ball as when its in someones hands.

Imagine: You switch off-ball to play as T-Mac, hold down the fss trigger and press a face button...this in turn triggers T-Mac to perform a blistering curl cut off of Yao to pop outside...his man TOTALLY oblivious to whats happened and T-Mac gets an open jumper.

It works for big men too:
You have switched to shaq off-ball...start slowly walking your man towards the low post, hold down fss trigger and press a face button...POW! Shaq stuns his man with a quick drop step and gains perfect inside pressence down low...you easily call for the pass and Shaq finishes with a power fss dunk inside.

***must say that i agree with an earlier post about fss moves should use more energy to counter the abuse, as such performing the move i just said could take as much as an 1/8th(?) of energy off shaq***

2) Better stat display:
Lets say Im 40 games into my dynasty with the Lakers (dont know why, but its an example). Kobe drops another ouside jumper late in the game to bring up his 1200th point of the season...i WANT to see an overlay saying that the milestone has occured.
I'd also like to see things like when a player gets to the ft line, a display of his season averages in points, rebounds, assists etc.
Even during play, like every 10th score or rebound or assist that is made during a game (not individual - but actually sequentially) have an overlay that states what someones averages are...

Mike James dishes out the 10th assist of the sequence...an overlay pops up...
Mike James - Season: 10.4pts - 3.7reb - 6.1 ast.

Because the stats would be ever changing it wouldnt become dull or repetitive.
Could show splits against certain teams/divisions/conferences.

My two cents.

[doublefield]

I think the weakness of NBA live series is always the lack of high AI....... when you play with it for a longer time, you will find that the computer just play in same strategy all the time. When you see that "play" starts, you will know that which guy will the ball passed to easily.

Also the low AI problem is much more serious in the defensive side. For example, when you make a "pick and roll" the computer won't use other kind of defensive strategy. In a result, many times, you can shot the ball easily by using those silly strategy as the computer won't really make good defensive play.

@@@
Better AI in defensive play which will change the strategy all the time to match with different offensive play.
@@@

[t-mac01]

i want the dynasty mode to be realistic it should have a trade rumors.like shaq traded to miami with 5 players including the future draft picks becuase in the 06 the cpu team dont want a future picks to be traded.In the draft can u please make the rookies a realistic u can get the rookies in the nbadraft.net they have there nba mock draft can u please create all the possible nba rookies so that nba live 2007 is more realistic than the other nba live.also and halftime show and reports like in the real NBA.add also warm ups star players from both teams hugging and shakehands each other.add HIgher AI because the cpu is so easily be beatin.in the slam dunk contest also only the highflyer players should be compete not like tim duncan is there competing thats not true.THE NBA LIVE 2007 SHOULD BE MORE REALISTIC LIKE IN THE NBA.
