NBA Live 2006 Wishlist

[novice]

Heard some of my friends said the graphic for NBA 2005 is actually slacking if compared to NBA 2003. I am still playing NBA 2003 now. If that is the case, hopefully NBA 2006 will at least has the same standard like NBA 2003!

Wow, where to begin?

1) All-Star Weekend:
The dunk contest is good but lacks something. You should be a ble to incorporate people and props into the dunk. Choreograph each dunk, then do the dunk. For example: You throw ball against the backboard, Spud Webb jumps of Dominique Wilkins' back (He's sitting in a chair) and throws the ball against the backboard. You catch it, do a tomahawk and finish with your elbow in the hoop. Okay, not quite like that but with those options. Also, incorporate a skills contest.
2) Dynasty:
Interactive training: Earn your points by doing special minigame challenges. The more a player practices the better they get, the older they get, they worse they get. Skills deteriorate and gain very slowly. You should be able to hire and fire coaches s they have their own cap space. Also bring back rookie imports.

For 2007:

Since you won't get all of this in 06, try it in 07, along with this section:

Lifestyle Mode: Live the life of an NBA player. Create a player and give out a limited number of stat points. Then, increase your scout rating by impressing coaches and GMs in training sessions and 1 on 1 games. select contracts and you recieve money which improves something. Be able to differentiate yourself with crazy hairstyles and taunts.

Well, that's my two cents. Good night.

That made me think... Madden has a create-a-play... I wonder if EA could make a create a dunk option? It would be interesting...

The dynasty should have training camp like madden, where you select players from your team, and attempt those tasks controlled by you. So if your miami, you can practise free throws with shaq, 3 pointers with wade, shot blocking with simein, etc etc.

Make NBA Live 06 compatable with Mac OSX.

also, I think that their should be a slider for CPU Initiated trades because the CPU rarely trades even when you select yes. I'm sick of being the only one involved with trades.

They should make cheerleaders lol
No, seriously, the gameplay comes before all...If there's no improved gameplay then the game'll be the same as Live 2005, but with updated logos, jerseys and including rookies...So please EA, make a GOOD gameplay!

[End Boss]

adding cheerleaders is a perfect example of a cosmetic addition to the game.. it may enhance your perception of realism associated to the game, but it doesn't affect the gameplay in any significant way..

an example of improving the gameplay would be adding better collision detection and physics for things like rebounding so that when multiple rebounders collide their forces are applied to each other correctly..

right now one gripe I have is that when trying to box out a player on defense the cpu or player controlled offensive rebounder can jump into the defensive rebounder and it just moves him under the flight of the ball so you can't get the board..

no in air collision, no off the ball foul.. the defenders feet just glide forward until he's directly under the ring

also the diving out of bounds after getting steals issue and the non movement for inbounds pass issue that prevents the player from being able to pressure the in bounds pass in any fair way.. the CPU makes no effort to get open to receive the inlet pass.. challenging in bounds passes in pressure situations is as natural as fingers on a hand, but for whatever reason EA decided to just pass us the ball this year

those late 2 points prolly been raised countless times

My wishes for Dynasty Mode:

1. Allow 2+ Dynasties in the SAME SEASON!! My brother and I were very frustrated with NHL'04, '05 and Live'04 when we found out we had to play our Dynasties in parallel seasons...

Biggest must-have ever for 06!!!

Why for f*cks sake is Dynasty Mode only for single players? Franchise Mode in ´03 DID support Multiplayer gaming!

WHY take that feature away and not bring it back? Many times i wished i could meet the people that had THAT stupid idea...

Obvious request:
Make the ball an actual circle
