NBA Live 11 Wishlist (submitting soon, draft in first post)

[JaoSming]

i got a big one, editable simulation engine for dynasty mode

[eda]

Small gameplay thing: ability to choose whether to hang on the rim or not after dunk, by holding the button (after dunk) or releasing quickly. That would be fun.

kobe bryant's courtside 2002 had that feature, i think if you held on too long they T'd you up too, which the NBA doesnt allow in their video games

Yea I liked that, a small detail:

What i would like to see in live 11 besides improved post game, presentation and dynasty;

is authentic defence stance styles of players.

Make Better than 2K11 in PC version....and cheap PRICE........

COVER MVP Finals of NBA Finals this year?...
because NBA2K always winning Champion Team Like Garnett (2008 Champ), Kobe(2009 Champ) put on his COVER...

[Andrew]

Does the cover really matter? For what it's worth though, both covers are usually decided well in advance of the NBA Finals.

[Andrew]

Thanks for all the wishes so far, keep them coming! I'm working on some expansions to my own list which I'll be posting within the next few days.

I wished for this in a previous NBA Live and it still hasn't happened yet. So, I'm still wishing for:

The ability to relive and replay key moments of past NBA games, particularly playoff and Finals games. For instance, I want to be Magic Johnson in the 1985 Finals and try to hit the baby hook shot with 3 seconds left. I want to be Michael Jordan and see if I can steal the ball from Karl Malone, race down the court in under 10 seconds, and hit the game winning jumper over Byron Russell in the 1998 Finals. I want to hit that game-winning Lebron 3 pointer against Orlando in last year's playoffs. Now THAT would be an awesome addition to the game.

I'd like to see more aggression in playoff games. I know the NBA would never allow fighting in any game they license, but at least the ability to get in someone's face, or challenge a ref and possibly get thrown out of the game. In MVP 2005 Baseball, you were able to get in an ump's face and sometimes you got thrown out. Apparently, if you did it right, it was supposed to help your team get a boost or something. Anyways, something realistic like that would be really cool.

[Andrew]

I think a lot of us would like that, but likeness rights/licensing issues make the first one difficult and the NBA's image-conscious nature makes the second one a longshot. Never hurts to ask, I guess.

[Trabz]

Add Lebanon to the FIBA teams, or maybe in the next update during this year, cant they add it?

[Andrew]

NBA Live 10 won't be receiving any more updates besides the daily Dynamic DNA updates, which won't include any updates to the FIBA teams.

[Renars]

I want well worked national teams, on that is the reasons, how much I remember... In NBA Live 09 there is a combined team of Lithuania but its rating made - 67 while China - is more 80, I very much love the international competitions (understand I live not in America, I do not receive pleasure from game for clubs NBA), in NBA Live 08 they have made ostensibly 8 strongest combined teams, and where then Lithuania? In general this my main desire, but as it is necessary to work a gameplay and conditions (what that it not so basketball)

[Andrew]

Fair call, but the game is, at the end of the day, NBA Live. I think it's fair to say that replicating the NBA experience should be the focus.

[HellBoy]

I want:

Better game-play, better graphic, full all stars day (Rookie Challenge, slam dunk, 3pt shootout, PG chalange, all star game) better dynasty functions. All other you peoples write

[Dee.]

- Improved GamePlay.
- Alot of Signature Shots,Moves,Dunks.
- More emotions from players,maybe even include very rare fights,or stuff like that.
- Normal Free Agent signing logic.
- D-League.
- Some Kind of My Player Mode.
- Sing/release Coaches and other staff.
- Add Full All-Star Weekend.
- No God Damn High Requirments.
- Background stories in dynasty mode.

[Andrew]

Just a note for those asking for better gameplay, that's kind of a non-specific thing to ask for as it doesn't really tell the Dev Team what we like and don't like. It's better if we can provide specific examples of areas where the gameplay needs to improve and what needs to be fixed, so by all means go into detail.

[Axel The Great]

I think Live 11 needs improved graphics. The reason people don't give live a chance is all because of the graphics. I'm happy with the graphics in Live 10, but compared to 2k10, they are crap. That's why many people prefer 2k10. Live 11 has the potential of being the best basketball video game ever if they improve graphics and gameplay.

[Andrew]

I think the depth and selection of game modes has more to do with it than graphics. I wouldn't place graphics any higher than third on the list of things NBA Live 11 most needs to show improvement in and that's being generous.

[dkemp]

You guys pretty much covered all the issues with Live, but I only ask for one thing...That is, to have to during gameplay, the players move and dribble, dunk, layup, react, shoot, whatever, just as they do during that Live arena thingee where there the stars of league are having a shoot around session or something. For some reason the players movement and overall look and fluidness are not the same as they are when having the shootaround session before any gameplay. What do you guys think?

[Patr1ck]

During online games, allow shot control to be recognized on each users side for jumpshots and freethrows so there is no need for a users compensation due to lag.
Correct the player lighting at the create-a-player/edit-player screen to match what is shown during a 5 on 5 game.
Improve the performance when editing the attributes of a created players head and face. For the past couple years that screen has been very laggy. Possible by caching the files to the hard drive?
Improve the performance during team select and other screens by caching dynamic screen graphics such as logos and photos to the hard drive.
Increase the length of auto saved replays for end of quarter scenarios.
Show a preview animation of signature jumpshots at the edit players screen instead of a photo of the player the shot was assigned for originally.

ONE THING I FORGOT!

Dynasty Mode:

- In 09, if I have a pretty good 3-point shooter, they always make the 3-point shootout contest. and even if they're not in the top 10 in 3 points made or have high % from 3's. also, just because a player's dunk rating is high it doesnt mean they are able to compete in the dunk contest. for example yao ming. one time he had the highest dunk rating on my team and was in the dunk contest.

[wescravin]

1. please fix the uniforms, when wearing a throwback jersey the warm ups don't match.
2. More acessories and shoes
3. Gameplay sometimes while backing down a player in the post or driving to the basket players lose the ball,
4. Graphics please tone down the sweat effect
5. Better halftime presentation, maybe player interviews or something of the sort
6. Bring back the player hotzones I really don't like scouting every player I miss the hot zones
7. More player emotions and maybe the ability to pick up technical fouls
8. Better crowd effects, people leaving during blowouts, crowd doesn't show up for teams with losing records, crowd cheering for star players while there on the road ie Kobe and lebron in New York.
9. Too many missed dunks players hang on the rim and miss the dunk
10. Add the D league and some kind of player mode
11. New commentary maybe only use marv Albert for the playoffs I love marv but kerr is boring,
12. Add injuries during the game and have players change accessories ie player gets a leg injury comes back with a sleeve on his leg
13. More free throw routines and more signigtare shots, more pre game rituals and buzzer beater animations

[Ricoy]

Fix the game... make it more realistic.. for a gigantic company like EA.. it should be very realistic in the graphics, the players and overall the GAME!

[dare]

There should be an inbound play like throw an alley-oop if there is no time left for a jumpshot, like Rondo VS Miami

[tracy1mcgrady4life]

- Bring back the go-to-move feature (signature post moves). Post moves are crappy in live 10.
- Chasing down block shot.
- More and quicker lay-up moves(Make them hard to block)
- Bring back the legends (classic all-star teams).
- Bring back live 08 player movement (live 10 player movement is full of glitches)
- Try to focus on other players signature dunks than lebron and kobe. Each one of them has like 18 dunks of thier own.
- REMOVE THE CLUTCH RATING( in order of fairness)
- Bring back one-on-one mode.
- Chnage the Free Throw system.
- Players getting injured during games.
- Hard fouls to stop a dunk.
- Multiplayer Dynasty Mode.
- Decrease the away games effect(e.g if i'm playing away and it's the 4th Q, my players become bunch of dumbs)
- No more ball throuth player's body.
