[Steve_OS]

Czar is taking the airwaves again tonight at 7:00, asking Sim Nation to call in and discuss NBA Live 13. More specifically, to discuss their play calling system.

If you have any questions for him, ask them here. Otherwise make sure you tune in.

I just want to see all-star weekend, possibly some NCAABB involvement, and no gimmicky controls like the elite demo had.

NBA Live 13 Wishlist

1. Focus on creating a simulation videogame

2. NBA All Star Weekend needs to be included in the game.

3. Have a realtime physics engine in the game.

4. Remome the iceskating, morphing, and robotic movements in the game.

5. Add signature moves, shooting styles, dunks, dribbling, etc. for
all NBA players in the game.

6. Have weight/momentum act as a factor on player performance.

7. Players need to move naturally, fluid, and realistic as possible.

8. Fix the player models in the game. The players look cartoonish.
Make the players look photorealistic to their NBA counterparts.
Improve player skin tones make skin tones and player specific features
(headbands, sleeves, socks, shoes) as close as possible we want it to
be NBA authentic.

9. Use the ESPN license more add dynamic commentary. NBA Live 13 needs
a pregame show ,halftime show, and postgame show. We need broadcast
commentary with emotion Sideline reporters, half-time studio
announcers, weekly wrapups highlights or nightly in NBA.

10. Show the actual ESPN commentators in the game.

11. Add better cloth physics for the jersey's

12. Have players, coaches, refs, fans, staff, etc, all interact with
each other.

13. Focus on the fundementals of basketball

What are you guys hoping for as far as collisions this year from EA ?

[houstonsdream]

live 10 had decent collision detection and physical play. 2k11 had the best in series to me but for some reason they took out ALOT of paint contact in 2k12. I hope EA gets the the little things right first of all. player physical interaction is something we all see when watching or playing basketball. I dont want alot of canned contact animations like we have in 2k12 which mostly result in ball going in when playing online. Tough D and ability to use body to block path of ballhander will do wonders for live 13.

Players size and strengh should come into play also when collisions happen. I dont expect kobe to magically push dwight around when trying to attack the basket like what happens in 2k12. kobe should hit the floor and get FT attempts. Dwight should automaticly turn into a coward, cover his head and kobe do a 2 handed tomahawk canned aniamtion dunk on him like what happens in 2k12

sorry but have to compare 2k12 to live 13 cause 2k clearly got away from made it challenging and made scoring easier with less contact and autoscore animations that favor offense.

Live 10 collision system was awful. Collisions should be smooth not jerky and unorthodox.

Fix the dunks. You don't see LeBron. Dunking ten times a game lol

we also had collisions on alley opp attempts if defenders were in the way of guy attempting to catch the pass. They took this out of 2k12 and now alleyoops are caught in heavy traffic with ease unless the cpu decides to make someone jump to block it. EA needs to bring this back
