Taunt, dunking, post up control!!

[smashingpunk007]

Does anyone from EA ever come to these forums to get feedback from the customers, or do they not care at all?Well anyways here are my ideas for a better Live game.

Taunting is what made wwf/wwe wresting games so much fun on nintendo 64, image how much more fun you could have in nba live ,i think there should be a taunt button that you hold and then you press the freestyle joystick in different ways and you get different taunts. There should be tauints for offense and defense, anyone remember last year when Kevin Garnett was taunting Steve Nash telling him to bring it in . I would love to have that control on a NBA Live game, especially after a monster dunk!
friendly taunts also, i think you should be able to give you teammate a high five, a head rub, a pat on the shoulder, and the obligatory butt slap( i still don't understand why athletes do that)whatever, as long as we have more than one taunt in game. And we should be able to create our own players and give them any taunt we want instead of having to choose a specific player taunt pack.

Dunking control, i really don't like the way dunks are random , i think we should be a able do what dunk we want when we want to. Just make the dunks similiar to the freestyle controls. Of course there are over like 500 dunks so each player would only have about 10 or 12 which is good enough.We should also be able to pick what dunks our player can do in a create a player mode.
Also we should be able to change in the air, we should be able to turn the bunk not a finger roll or a reversal.

A more comprehensive defense system. I like the way blocks work in Live 2k3, i think there should be something like a lock on system to where you stay on the player, and then the controls switch to where you control both left and right hands at the same time with the two joysticks and buttons L and R become the left and right shuffle , also you should be able to fake a reach in .

Drop step , we need to be able to have control of the drop step. Maybe a combo of pressing turbo and jump at the same time.

Complete control of post up moves. We should be able to fake hook shots and do underhands, fake spins, fake hook to fade away jumper, pump will spinning, and of course give of the ability to do the infamous Shaq hook.

That's it for now.

great idea, and if sometimes you taunt, the ref can give u a Techical, like in rea life. and if they do give you T's, then it is also great cause its impossible to get T's in NBA Live.

Assuming that some of the taunts would not just be directed towards the opponents (resulting in a T) but also acknowledging the crowd or simply pumping a fist in celebration, would you have the taunts affect the player's mood (a la the Attitude meter in the N64 wrestling games)?
