Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
I believe EA will improve on their gameplay, after two years of development, could it get any worse? So no problem there, I do have suggestions for their Dynasty/Franchise mode for the game:
Positions:
First, the game should allow the user to choose between the 3 jobs: Coach, GM, Owner. The player can choose a min. of 1 or max. of 2 of those choices that way the player doesn’t have complete control but just enough and each has their benefits so choose wisely. Let me explain each position The coach runs HIS team and players as HE sees fits(practices*how much, how little*, who plays, who doesn’t, plays*who runs them or who they’re ran through, etc.) so if you weren’t to pick the coach as a job and its ran by the cpu, the mins. Players would get who plays and who doesn’t will all be left up to the cpu ran coach and that way I see how really looking at coaches profiles/tendencies/ratings on how they would fit your team and how you(if you picked the GM and/or Owner) I really believe that in the offseason you have to pick a coach, that the GM and Owner(s) have to be on the same page if the GM knows his team is old but the Owner wants to bring in a young new coach than that leaves the GM to either make changes(trades, draft picks, etc.) to the team or just have a veteran ball club run by an inexperienced coach whom the players will chew on and throw under the bus if he's not producing. OR if you have a young team whom the Owner feels they can be an effective/fun-to-watch, up-and-down team, the GM would hire a R. Aldeman type coach than a G. Popavich, get what I'm saying?(games can still be played OR ran through a 'Coach Mode' like 2K)
If you weren’t to pick the GM than the duties of the GM will be left to the cpu(trades during the season, scouting, offseason moves, coach firings *yes you can get fired if you’re the coach not running the GM spot*, drafting-sidenote Owner and Coach play a part to but the GM pulls the trigger) So lets say the GM brings in a PF whos athletic and gets up and down and feels he should start for the team but the coach feels that the PF that’s been with the team is more approved for the spot and doesn’t grant the other PF a starting role this could cause conflict and drama between the head coach and the GM(and really I think that’s whats really been missing from b-ball games in their Franchise modes, is the drama of and NBA season/Dynasty) I believe this will add that drama that’s been missing because not only does their have to be chemistry on the court and between players but between these 3 positions as well to have a truly successful team/franchise.(games can still be played)
The owner obviously is the head honcho and all decisions(tying to the GM mostly) must go through him. So if the GM is having a problem with the coach and wants him gone but the Owner doesn’t see anything or likes the job the coach as done the Owner will likely take his judgment over the GM or the GM could see his job in jeopardy. And really the job of the other two is just to keep the owner happy if that’s done the more likely the owner will spend money to go and get players, promote the team, etc. Im also liking the idea as the Owner the ability to sell and move franchises so somehow if that could be done that’s also a benefit playing as the Owner.(games can still be played)
Contracts/Offseason:
The way I see it, along with the jobs to choose from, the user should be able to setup interviews during the offseason with a player that they're after, or trying to keep that way it won’t all be about negotiating with money. If the user has a strong leveled coach you would want him at the interview with the player to be convincing enough to get him on your team or if you’ve got a respectable GM maybe you'll want him there too or all three can be there. Allow the player to setup dates to schedule such meetings and let it fit around the player you’re going after schedule(say that on June 9th he’s set to meet with another team, if you want him bad try and set and date before that*setting after may reduce chances*). To me this is the fun part of of b-ball games, the offseason, but to have it be, somewhat, so dull, is annoying. And let the contracts be reasonable cause the money these players sometimes ask for is ridiculous(2k perspective here) especially for some players that are on the way out(retiring or old). Replace team needs from just players only to specific needs for a team-if a team needs a rebounder because they were last or dead last the season before on the boards, or need a shooter because of their field goal% at 2ptfga and 3pt fga let the user know what they need to go after during the offseason whether its signing a good rebounder and/or drafting one, signing a good shooter and/or drafting one.
Trades:
Just have them better than in 2K
Prospects/Future Players:
A "Body of Work" aspect should be implanted when it comes to next years draftees. Let me further explain:
- List the accomplishments that a player has done in college and(possibly) even go back to the senior yr of HS, did he win a state championship there, national championship there? Even if a guy is projected to go late first round but he led the nation in rebounding or even led in his conference let it show on the player card he may not be of use on the offensive end but if a team needs a rebounder and a rebounder NOW let it be known what a guy has done. Say how far his team went during the tournament(s). If there are teammates all from North Carolina let the user know saying, 'he's a teammate of such and such,' or 'won National title with such and such at North Carolina.'
-Everyone knows that good/great players in HS tend to go to good or historically good colleges, ain't no scrubs gone be going to UNC. Make colleges matter and what a player has done over the history of their college/last HS yr matter.(This is something that shouldn't be overdone though, there can be those 'Cinderella-story-type' players out of not so well known colleges that can make an impact in the NBA, but a rise to stardom, IDK, tough to call).
-Also let the user know what grade the player was in college before they were drafted. So if a guy played for Kansas his freshman yr and they won the title and he stayed another yr and left after his sophomore yr let his card read (teammates of such and such*who are already in the league*the yr they won the title) just go in depth.
-Allow players to grow, over a season and over their career, not only based off their potential but how the team is ran, the way the coach runs things, where they can get their shot or like to get their shot on the floor, how effectively they can produce over an 82+ game season, how they can improve or like to improve their game over an 8-10 yr. career. And NO more players averaging 10pts and win ROY!?! WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?!?
Aw yeah, work on those graphics as well, LOL. No seriously, work on your graphics.Comment

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
Besides improving gameplay (already said several times) I'd like to see Live 06's graphics which were great and they still continue to compete with today's graphics; also a player introduction similar (and better) to 06.

Could EA finally implement well the things mentioned on the 2007's E3?

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
I think that the future game need immersive commentary, specially on Dynasty Mode and Become Legendary. I would like to hear the crew talk about free agent signings, trades and how they affect the teams, rumours, mvp talks, team and players under and overperforming.Comment

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
I know it must be almost impossible but I really would like to have spanish announcers on their next game, specifically Carlos Morales y Alvaro Martin who are a great announcing team (best in Latinamerica) and also work for ESPN.Comment

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
i don't want this game to copy 2k. I've been a fan of 2k's games but now i'm sick of them. It's just not fun. I play with my cousin all the time and he complains all the time about why he doesn't have no control of the player. Stupid animations when u cross the halfcourt line and the defender bumps u and u go back and a backcourt violation is called. I play association with my cousin to and it seems that no other players matter unless they are stars. Stars don't feel like stars in 2k either. I know sounds weird. Please make Dynasty amazing and bring something to it that we've never seen before. I'm ready for some EA Basketball!Comment

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
i ALMOST agree with you but i want them to take some things away from 2k. EA has had the worst player movement ive seen in any basketall game. Its like they dont use motion capture for the player and instead use robotic movements. Their nba street series players have better movement than the nba live players and thats just wrong. EA needs to get away from the arcade feel and concentrate on the little things that 2k has mastered like players likeness, tendencies, atmosphere, movement, etc etc. EA has superior graphics technology as shown in nba live 10 but they just never get it down to a art like 2k does.THe best thing EA has doing for them is their online play which will be the deciding factor in alot of people purchasing their game this fall. EA needs to step it up 300% in the gameplay dept . I have faith in them seeing as how i hate soccer in rl but love their soccer game. 2k had a gem in 2k11 but severly slacked in 2k12, i hope EA uses this as momentum and grab the marketshare they lost with ELITE.
Bring back NBA LIVE 13 because the "elite" name has been crapped on by the game that almost releases. EA keep it simple and you will havea winner. You gotta have something to show after 2 years of developmentComment

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
put back the things I loved about NBA Live 09 that you took out of NBA Live 10, and remove the suction recovery defense of NBA Live 10, plus add a transition game and user friendly postup game, and I'll be one happy man.Comment

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
It is so simple NBA Elite must have a strong create a team mode and be able to replace all default teams with created teams in franchise mode. Total customization of jerseys, shorts, shoes, arenas, and logos (take a page out of Back Breaker). Have a great day.

Re: NBA Elite Wishlist
-I really hope they leave in the ability for multiple users on one XBOX to play online or allow for players to team up online.
-Ability to turn off trades in franchise for cpu, mulitple user franchise and online franchise!
They really need to focus on the online aspect and communityComment
