NBA Live '13 Wishlist

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

#1 thing thats needs to be addressed. NO more players passing balls through other player bodies or ball passing through players on the rebound. This should be deemed priority #1. This has been going on for far to long.

#2 Rebounding, get it right this time.... for real!

#3 Post moves - NBA post moves not high school, not college... NBA.

#4 In game saves - guys most gamers aren't kids anymore so some of us with kids need to be able to stop and attend to life without leaving our consoles on all day to fry. If you can save in call of duty you should be able to save in NBA LIVE 11.

#5 Stats - this years version has very limited in game stat info, I want to know whats going on, who's got what, who's close to fouling out. thats part of strategy and should be addressed.

You guys are so close, I know you can do it.

Player/Team Accessories

I've noticed that some people are whining & complaining because some players and teams in Live 10 wear the wrong accessories, team socks & team accessories color, & etc.

So I am suggesting to bring back the options in the game where we can edit the player's/team's accessories, appearances, & some personal information like in the previous Live versions.

And also pls. consider the shorts’ length in Live 11. D. Howard, James, and etc. used to wear shorts whose length is above their knees. This will help the players look more realistic.

Calling a Timeout

-In NBA when calling a timeout the players or coach must notify first the referee/s before a timeout will be called. So here's the thing, when you press select (timeout button) a timeout will not be called yet but instead your player/s or coach will notify the closest referee to him/them first and after wards a timeout will now be called. Of course your player/s or coach will shout or do a timeout gesture to the refs when doing this.

-Bring back the auto timeouts (can be disabled/enabled) in the game.

-Display in the screen how many timeouts left for each team (does not exist in Live 10).This is very useful especially in the 4th quarter.

-By tapping the timeout button twice a 20 second timeout will be called. Tapping it once or by simply pressing it a full timeout will be called.

Environment/Arena

I think it's about time to include all of the coaching staff, inactive, and injured players to the bench in Live 11. Also improve the crowd models because in Live 10 they look awful. And add Garry Glitter’s “rock n roll pt. 2” ( while playing this song in the game the crowd will sing along during the "Hey!" portion of the song ) song & some songs as the background music during a timeout. Lol.

Create a Playbook<o></o>

Allow us to create our own offensive & defensive playbook in the game. I know it will be hard and too much for you Mike & Crew but it will be cool if you can do this in Live 11.

Coaches

Why not include the Coaches' dynamic DNA (tendency, weaknesses, and ratings) in the game. Can affect somehow your team's offense and defense execution and game tempo.

NBA & Int'l Rules

Make sure that Live 11 will be updated to the latest rules because in Live 10 the clear path foul rule does not exist and of course the FIBA Int'l rules while playing the FIBA Championship Mode.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

1) Revamp the CAP mode, more names that can be said, a much much much better modeling system and model, the model that is there now is just horrible and the sliders do not change much if anything to the characters appearance. This feature needs a complete overhaul so we can be able to recreate realistic looking people that look believable and fit with the current game models of the actual players so CAPS don't stick out like a sore thumb. This would also help the game make better rookie models for dynasty mode rookies.

2)Time to upgrade the presentation of this game especially for Dynasty mode( as well as all aspects of the game) make the commentating fit what goes on around your dynasty league, let them talk about stats, players hot & cold streaks, how teams are doing during the season, what's going on around the league, end of the quarter commentary (it's very boring to here no commentary after a quarter is over, those highlights arent good enough on there own) and much much more. Commentary keeps the game alive, and doesn wonders to make the game feel more television like.

3) I talked about commentary in dynasty mode, but know it's time to upgrade dynasty mode, first and foremost dynasty mode should give us the option of using more than one squad if we choose to, some people do like to play that mode with a friend or just use multiple teams if they choose to.

Next, the look to dynasty mode is just bland, the interface is very lackluster and congested in my opinion and it's annoying to look at, it needs to be cleaned up so the user can navigate it better and understand what they are looking at.

Simmed stats yes I know, beating a dead horse into oblivion right now but someone has to do it until it's correct. Star players minutes aren't right, they don't put up the numbers that they should be getting on a daily basis maybe it's time for a better sim engine?

This is just some of the things I would like to see redone in Live 11. I haven't spent much time with Live 10 to make a full complete note of things I wish they would add yet but these are a few things I would like to see added and fixed.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

add the practice mode back in. it's unacceptable to take it out. i spent a ton of time in the practice mode last year and i think it sucks it's out this year.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Hack a Shaq button, get rid of the intentional foul button on the select button, Tired of hitting the xbox guide button on accident all the time......

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

All 31 teams Authentic practice facilities and more details to the arenas. If its in the NBA put it in the game. I.e. MLB the Show. I swear their detail is rediculas.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

web support for leagues, top 5 highlight videos after games, a deeper post up system, put-back dunks, better commentators or give them better lines

[KChow21]

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Better player likeness for every player not just the starting 5 and sixth man, I'd be pleased with 10/15 players on the team looking like their real selves.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Just a suggestion for the Live devs,

There have been some problems with odd AI and bugs that are being put down to the DNA being broken..

How about next season having the Dynamic Season include the preseason games so that the data can be downloaded, the mode and DNA can then be tested during preseason so it is all fixed and ready to go for when the proper season starts up. Use the preseason games as a test bed for DNA and Dynamic season so that everything is perfect for opening night..

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Play diagrams. There's nothing worst than calling a play with player lock then not knowing what you have to do because all there is is a circle.

Could we also get an option to choose whether we want to lock on to a position or a certain player.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Over haul commentary.

Kerr contradicts himself all the time.

e.g. one minute he's saying they're down because of how poor they are playing in the next breath he's praising them for their efforts to simply stay in the game.

His constant ill timed references to time outs are laughable.

Sure it will be nice to have then chat about specific players from time to time but the general calling of the game needs an overhaul.

I work in the audio industry so I have some idea of the mammoth task this would be, not to mention all the programming needed to make the calls contextually accurate. But this is a wish list.

The main problem being a lot of the lines refer to multiple subject matter... e.g. A team is down big, which triggers a 'down big' line. Kerr pulls out his old line about with the coach doesn't call a time out. End result, we get a "down big" comment (correct) and a time out comment (incorrect).

Some thoughts on commentary.
Simplify the system.
Minimize lines with various subject matter.
Have as many different lines saying the same thing as time will allow. e.g. As many made bucket responses as possible.

But then you have to take into account the ebb and flow of the game... the runs, the close finishes etc. All that requires logic too. Man, I don't envy you guys. You're doing an awesome job. Sorry for acting like I know how to do your job better than you, (which i most certainly don't) just putting my two cents in.

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

-have the cpu ACTUALLY run plays. amazing that the players run up and with one or two passes, chuck it up. silly for an NBA sim to be this way. just plain silly.

-have cpu actually stop the clock. i think its called a timeout.
Lol

- overhaul EVERYTHING about dynasty. before i got rid of live i tried 3 times to get past 2 games in it, but alas, i couldnt.

-overhaul presentation.

-add more variety to fouls

-add about a 1000 more animations. after one game of 2k just now even my girlfriend was like wow, its like watching real people on the court. heck, wilson chandler ran into spoelstra when trying to get back down the court, and he caught him as he was falling.

- to keep this from gettin glong, and not to sound like a wisenheimer, but devs, just pop in a game of 2k and add all those animations, plus 100 more.


-also pop it in and chekc out the pop ups and animations

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

also,
in game injuries is a must.

[mahurachi]

Re: Official Nba Live 11 Wish List

Also don't forget these... I think these are important.

-Improve the player movements, the way they defend the ball, running w/o the ball, their hand movements/positions (needs a major improvement especially on defense) & etc. They don't move like Robots anymore but there are still some stiff movements. Improve it EA plz.

-Rebounding the ball. Improve it's physics & add more animations on it. If two or more players (opposing players/teams) are battling for the rebound when both in good position a possibility that they might tip the ball out of bounds or to some players or tip the ball to the basket or air. Not all the time a player can just grab & get the ball while rebounding especially when more players are fighting for the ball.

-More body contacts means more foul. Need to improve also.

-Improve the User's & CPU's AI, its ability when in bounding the ball especially from the baseline. If one of their teammates is guarded well and can't receive the ball the AI's teammates should help, move and step up to receive the ball.

-Add a shoot around before the game starts. If possible a 1 min. or the time can be adjusted or can be skipped if the user doesn't want to shoot around before the game starts and before the 2nd half starts. Just like in the NBA. Before the game starts players can practice to shoot the ball or shoot around.

-More involvements of the refs in the game.
