    SUPERSTAR MODE, I know i am not the first to say it and i definetly wont be the last but still the game HAS to have Superstar Mode next year, it would definetly put Live ahead of the other two games and will attract buyers of the other games

      Visuals
      1. Better crowd (they look a bit jagged, they're too big compared to the players, and hopefully similar skin texture of the players)
      2. Better bench (it's missing a player; add some assistant coaches)
      3. Warm-ups for players on the bench to cover up the jerseys without numbers
      4. Better faces, calves are still on the thin side IMO, and when seen; the thighs look horrible
      5. The shorts move better than the jerseys
      6. Keep the clappers only for the crowd behind the basket
      7. The names and numbers behind the jerseys are still too small

      Presentation
      1. Just watch a game from ESPN (get rid of the cheerleading routine)
      2. Even though the commentary is better in Live, I hope you can still improve it by adding another announcer

      Animations/Gameplay
      1. Fluid animations (especially down in the post) and get rid of the animations that are obviously traveling
      2. Realistic block animations (and direction of the ball when blocked) and foul animations
      3. More post moves (fakes and shots)
      4. More responsive quickstrike and some of the moves are too slow
      5. Breaking a dribble animation by driving left or right (it's in 08, but not in 09)
      6. Animations for players bumping into each other (so that pick n roll won't be overly effective)
      7. Different reactions to different dribble moves because it seems like when you use any dribble move, it cancels out and goes to lockdown when you're near a defender (inside-out dribbles seem to be useless in the game)
      8. Players slow down when you make a pass to them during a fastbreak
      9. I have no problem with the jumpball system, but it prevents tie-ups between small and big players
      10. Tip-ins and tip-in dunks
      11. Players diving for the ball

      Signature stuff
      1. Keep signature jump shots for a single player and create different generic jump shots and use them for players without signature jump shots
      2. Signature dribbling
      3. Bring back d wade's step back jumper (not sure about this)
      4. For some players with horrible signature jump shots, all you have to do is copy the form of the shot of their go to move (ex. deron williams, billups, baron davis)

        I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but none of the layups used th backboard so they look really weird and there is not post up fade away if the backboard shot so i would really like to ave layups that use the backoard and fade away shots that us backboard like tim duncans but mostly the lyups with backboard layups while posting just go high in air and go in by swish so they look weird

          yes I noticed that too and a normal shot is always swish.

          I have something about Vince carter's jumpshots.
          His normal shot is a fadeaway and his signature shot too.
          I mean both look good but I find it better if you give him "his normal shot" and a fadeaway as signature shot.

            My biggest glaring error with Live 09 is I don't always have enough time to play it. Damn, I love this game. I also like 2k9.
            But for the first time in years, I prefer Live.
            That said, it's nice to finally say there are two great games on the market.
            Thank God (or whomever you choose to rep) for that.

              A couple of things I'd like to see addressed:

              A) Isolation - Using the Raptors, I was caught off-guard with Bargnani guarding Wade. The Heat called an isolation play, but Wade didn't even try to burn by Bargnani, which he should have done easily. I would like to see mismatches like this exploited. If I'm stupid enough to guard burners with plodding big men, I should pay.

              B) CPU offensive rebounding too good, even with maximum slider adjustments. This is something that needs to be looked at.

                I love that global player rating edit tool.
                I wish there was a way you could do it in one fell swoop for the entire league, instead of just one team at a time.

                  1)Player models need to be redone completely. They are too thin and lanky. They look more artistic than realistic. That's good for NBA Street not for an officially licensed NBA game. The art leads need to look at all the getty images they can this year....

                  2)Player animations have to be TRIPLED. Here's a list:
                  a)layups
                  b)altered shots
                  c)player collisions(bumping,blocking etc)
                  d)player fast break animations
                  e)player defending stances and arm movements
                  d)Inbound passing and movement around the basket to be mindfull of the this.
                  e)free throw situations
                  d)replays and animations of game interaction after fouls or stoppages in play

                      yes the net doesn't move with the ball.
                      if you shoot in 2k the net goes by a swish over the rim...

                        Finally someone sees what I see. Usually small things like that would not stop me from buying a game, but I am a person who would rather see a sweet jumper instead of a dunk and the net animations in this game are just awful. There is no difference between a deep three and a layup.

                          My suggestion has more to do with presentation than actual gameplay, but... I think it's about time Live had a theme song, a little jingle that plays before tip-off, between quarters, and at the end of the game. I mean, sometimes it's just a little too dull when there's absolutely nothing going on... During moments where there's no music and Marv and Steve aren't speaking. Just feels awkward, and ultimately, unrealistic. I'd love it if you guys bought the "NBA on NBC theme" from John Tesh!!... Hey, I can dream can't I? :wink:

                          Take NBA 2K9 for example... That game has a fantastic theme song for their game. I'm the biggest Live fanboy you'll find but at the same time, I'm not blind to what the competition has going for it. And as 2K9 has demonstrated, a nice little theme song can go a long way to boosting the atmosphere of the game, in my opinion.

                          Other than that, I don't think the gameplay needs to be overhauled or anything like that. EA should just continue to build upon the foundation laid in Live 08. They took an even bigger step in the right direction with Live 09, and now it's just a matter of smoothing out some things and making the animations a little more fluid. As we've seen with NHL 09, you don't need to drastically change your gameplay every year to be successful. Just take what you've got and improve upon it. That's what they did with NHL 09 and it ended up being the best sports game ever made in my humble opinion.

                          That's basically all I have to offer. Keep up the great work guys! I'm gonna go play Live 09 now. Peace!

                            1. Players wearing warm-ups on the bench.
                            2. A 2 or 3 minute pre -game warmup mode. Get streched out mini game, layup lines etc. (Like 2k8 College Hoops).
                            3. Players get up off of the bench when a sub is called for.
                            4. Refs are more animated.
                            5. Crowd is wearing team jerseys as well as other clothes.
                            6. Mascots actually move around the arena.
                            7. Assistant Coaches, Waterboys etc.


                            These 6 things 2K already has now or has done before (besides for the warm-ups on the bench and pre-game). Live should be able to do this too!

                              I'm right with you, but I'd like to add one thing to presentation that seems to be missing from all modern sports games, with the possible exception of NFL 2K5: Pre-game, post-game and halftime coverage.

                              The early sports games like TV Sports Football and the first NHL game by EA for the PC did this, why can't it be added in? This could also be incorporated into the loading of the game, so the loading times would be seamless.

                              Plus they can change up the presentation things for the playoffs, rivalry games, all-star game, etc...

                                I agree. Live's player models need to be redone. They're too scrawny.
