I'm very optimistic about Live's return. Also I've become very interested in the fantasy aspect in gaming. I use to stay away from it, because guys on madden, NCAA and even 2K's MyTeam can stack their team up with no type of true balance. Sure 2K charges VC for the higher rated players and those equipped with skills and upgrades. But buying VC and earning it outside of the game mode bypasses that.
I seriously played a team that had CP3, Ray Allen, Larry Bird, Lebron James and Magic Johnson played center. Now many will ask "whats the problem". Well in a competitive arena, that's unrealistic. So why not in the future for NBA Live, add a salary system which can not be bypassed by anyone. Maybe there can be a system where your salary is upped based on the skill level you are on. When raising levels, you only can play people on that level. When you raise, your salary cap does also. But if you lower, so does your salary.....
