Discussion about NBA Live 2004.

Here's a sweet idea to think about, though EA probably isn't gonna have the technology to do it for some time yet.

Full text to speech recognition. An engine that creates the play-by-play from text files. Imagine having any player's name that you created, spoken by the game. Imagine being able to create/edit your own commentary files...complete with keywords that point to various statitstics from the current game, current season...you name it.

With 3000 mHz processors that don't have to worry about sound or graphics, this doesn't sound that farfetched to me.

Being able to create/play a game from a box score would be nice to. Call it scenario mode or something. Think you can rally the Jazz from 15 pts behind to beat the Rockets and go to the finals? Think you can outduel Dominique Wilkins and go 10-11 in the fourth like Larry Bird? Think you can shut down a flu-ridden Jordan and keep him from getting 35 in game 5 of the finals? Create (or recreate) any scenario you wish...and play it.

I'd buy that game.

:!: hey, how about adding the jump stop move to the freestyle controls? instead of one or two layups where the player jumpstops, add the ability to jump stop at one's will, allowing for much more moves. Players shoot jumpers off of jump stops too.

:!: Add all the textures to the create a player screen, I've been searching too long for how to add dreads to my created players

:!: :!: BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, ADD A COMPREHENSIVE CREATE A PLAY FEATURE. IT WILL AT LEAST TRIPLE THE GAMES REPLAY VALUE, AND OLD PLAYERS/COACHES WOULD LOVE TO RUN THEIR OWN PLAYS. THE PLAYS DON'T HAVE 2 BE SUPER COMPLEX (IE. MOTION READS), JUST AS FUNCTIONAL AS THE OTHER SETS (BUT HAVE SOME CONTINUITY AS AN OPTION, IE 5 DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AT THE 5 SPOT, HE AND THE 4 CAN SWITCH PLACES AND THE PLAY STILL RUN). DEFENSIVELY AS WELL, MAN, ZONE, AND JUNK ZONE VARIATIONS SHOULD BE CREATED (IE 1/2 COURT MAN, TRAP ON THE BASELINE & CORNERS, OR PURE 1-3-1 ZONE, SINCE THERE'S MORE THAN JUST THAT BASIC 1-2-2 ZONE IN THE NBA)

12.Injury report by one of the ladies.
13.When a player is injured give people the option to play the player.(so if your created player has a back injury and is out for a long time you have the option to dress him so you can finish the playoff.And during a game when you playing with a player that is injured for a long time,they show your player laying down getting iced down)
14.If you dont wanna play your player thats out for awhile and let him heal before playoff time or something have him on the bench shown in street gear.

18.At the end of the game:Highlights,key plays..Commentators speak about player of the game,look in on current games(halftime and at the end of the game)..Post game interview with coaches and players.Speak about a teams up coming scheduale..
