**Ideas for NBA LIVE 06 and 07 that make your lips drip**

[kingtrobe807]

Hey great to hear all your guys comments
I came up with some other ideas...let me know what u think

21. Different timeouts...( full, 30sec ) Where the timeouts would really matter...u have 30 sec to change plays, defence, players get some more stamina..but only for 30 sec.
22. Hear some more boos for a bad play and more cheers for a good play

I think that arguing calls should happen...rarely though. It would all depend on the players attitude. If they have an attitude and are having a bad game...then they're bound to argue calls...

[CMinnifield]

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..

No, the call isn't changed but it can increase a player's stamina afterword so it's not all that useless.
--------------------------------

I would really like EA to bring back the custom team option!

Ironic it`s becouse ideas like this we dont get realistic basketball.These guys just make me mad. Option to argue a call, like someone said this things get old pretty fast.
I have one idea that would make it really realistic - when player hits the flor, someone comes to clean it... Ea really has to improve realistic gameplay PERIOD

But you know what glitz and graphics are really everything these days...

I have one idea that would make it really realistic - when player hits the flor, someone comes to clean it.

Have you shoved a cottonbud into your brain while you were cleaning your ears?
That idea, while "realistic", isn't that important. Focus should be more on the game itself such as fixing the crappy offensive rebounding, dyansty mode, and others. No one cares about the mopboys when clearly the game still has a lot of obvious improvements that should be done.

[dannyo]

Shadowgrin I guess your dislectic or something that idea obout mopguys was meant sarcastic... So do us both a favour and read my post again...

I would like to quit seeing the BIG NBA LIVE STAR flash on screen during the free throws. How about the Ref run to the ball and check it to the player like players do in the 1on1 or even a player go get it and throw it to a Ref. Then have some extra commentary about one of the players and not the same thing over and over and over like ex. "blah blah wade wasn't known for shooting 3's at marquette" and have the players slapping handsin between shots like you see in every game.

Thats not really anything big to put in the game and theres probably 1,000 things I can think of thats better like better voices most of them sound nerdy "im up two, yure down two dewd!"

anyways Lol exit stage right

Comments on these:

1. Before and After the game Reporters Reporting - nah
2. Option to argue a call - I wanna see them argue, but I dont want control over it.
3. Bench Players become Live in the game - I'd setle for seeing full benches even there in the first place lol
4. Different Commentary in games--Hall of Famers, Past Coaches,
Players - I don't understand.
5. More In-Game Music - I want more exciting music during clutch moments.
6. Halftime Show - maybe in the background while I look at my game stats
7. Add Different Announcers for Different teams - I could actually live without announcers. I turn them off.
8. Starting Lineup pre-game Show for home team - nah
9. Have players fall into the stands, fans,cameras-when doing a
fastbreak,saving the ball - I'd settle for an out of bounds save the ball animation dive thing
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 care - that sounds interesting
11. trash talking during the game - agreed
12. Jerseys move - next gen will do it
13. Player expressions--bad shot,miss free-throw, big shot, block - dont they already?
14. Show players sweating - meh
15. Add more roster spots to the team--some teams have 15 players - huh?
16. Show fans leaving when score gets bad and have empty seats during
the game with less noise - agreed
17. Have a radio option during dynasty mode-like madden 2005 - the radio in ssx3 was rad, so yeah this would rock
18. add past championship teams--with actual faces and names - I'd definitely rather have the top 10 greatest teams ever rather than the decade all stars and euro-teams
19. Create-a-team option with custom coarts, jerseys, city, name, art - oh god yes
20. Refs do something in the game!!! - dont they already?
21. More team plays that go with a certain coach - agreed
22. Be able to pick a scoreboard that you want - nah
23. More crowd chants - sure why not
24. Have the coach sit down....( coaches do not stand the hole game) - lol
25. Better Create-a-player - its good enough imo
26. Be able to create a team..and able to import custom logos
easier (Madden) - yes
27. More hype with certain games that mean something - agreed
28. Better off-season...be able to train players more...sign and fire
coaches....able to move to another city - yes
29. Bring Back normal replay..only extend the superstar move more..(
slower & different camera angles) yes
30. Coachs and players react to certain plays ( more Celebration with a
game winner) dont they already?

9. Have players fall into the stands, fans,cameras-when doing a
fastbreak,saving the ball

Great idea but I doubt ea will add it.

You should be able to

Create a team
Create a kit
Create a stadium


That would be sweet

Regarding the Arguing a call option, maybe EA could implement it such that when you argue a call, then you increase the likelihood of getting the next ambiguous call to go your way. I mean, you often hear about this during games, like Mike Fratello might have explained: "Now, the referees aren't going to change the call when you argue it, so why bother? So the next time there's a similar situation, you can get the call you want."

Of course, the balance would be it also increases the likelihood of picking up a technical. I mean, it'd be nice to be able to argue a call with some kind of consequence that makes sense. Arguing a call once or twice may give you an advantage, but do it too often, then you risk getting a tech.

Regardless, I think the absolute most important thing that needs to be adjusted is the pacing. Most teams in the league take their shots in with 12-7 seconds left on the clock. Even the earliest shots you take is at like 20 seconds, and that happens very rarely, even for the Suns. And when you increase the time for each possession, then you limit the number of possessions, which leads to realistic scores (based on the current league average of like 98 points a game), and fewer turnovers, fewer blocks (along with this, the shooting defense model has to be revamped, so you can makes stops without making blocks), fewer steals, etc, etc.

About the argue call thing. . .I think Eugene made awesome points about it and plus wouldn't it be more realistic to actually get a tech every once in a while. I was thinking and thought about the whole technical thing, how I think players never get them. I think whenever a player gets a foul called he disagrees with on game he might say a little something to the ref, thus more foul calls more arguing leading up to a bad attitude for player and a technical. I also would like maybe stuff like halftime coach talk thing, have a player's confidence level or something. So you would have to try and boost at half. Also, off court problems, like infractions liek there is in the ncaa games. Say a player doesn't come to practice or drug tested, so gives you mreo work off-court to try and get them straight and stuff with re-hab, suspension, etc. . . . . . Just my opinion

So long as technicals weren't random they'd be a fine addition. But as it is the NBA won't allow EA Sports to include them in the game.
