    Freestyle/isomotion/total control shooting
    or whatever you wanna call it.

    You do the aiming. Bank your shot at will. Look at the basket from the players perspective!

    This feature should be able to be disabled for "arcaders",
    but for "simulationers", its a cool idea.

    It may be hard to do at first but should become second nature.

    What it is, is - You control the accuracy of your shot but based on player ratings.
    The shoot button is assigned to R trigger and the turbo will be R2 (or a face button for XBox, but may not work too well).

    To layup or dunk, hold turbo and press R.

    To fake a shot, let go turbo and tap R.

    To shoot (heres the cool part), hold R and player will square up or look at the basket if at low post. (Before I explain how to shoot, let me put in your mind that there will be a trasparent backboard and basket at the top of the screen. There will be two transparent basketballs near the bottom of each corner of the backboard. This icon will represent the board and basket)

    To shoot, while R is held, move the left stick (to control the left basketball) and the right stick ( for the right basketball) and put the two balls together into the basket. Let go R. If you don't let go R in time, the balls will drift down and away from the basket. Now, the shooting animation begins right when you move the sticks.

    The transparent icon will always be there. If you're closer to the basket the balls in the icon will be closer to the basket, thus making it easier to aim. If you're far away, the balls will be spread out to each bottom corner of the backboard. The balls move closer and farther away from the basket as you move closer and farther.

    The balls will be smaller and harder to connect with the basket if the player's shooting is bad, and bigger if the shooting is good. If someone like Shaq is near the basket, the balls will be bigger than if he is out of his range. So the balls in the icon will be moving closer and farther, smaller and bigger depending on who you are and where you are.

    To bank shots, just connect the balls to the area of the backboard you want to bank from.

    All this time I've been explaining the shooting from the front of the basket. If you move around the basket, the transparent icon will rotate according the your position. So if you're shooting from the side, you will see the side of the backboard an basket. You will also see the icon tilted up (or back a little), how much depends on the height of the player.

    The icon allows a sort of 1st person view.

    If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

      I'm going to point out wishes that are probably in the game (from what we know so far)

      Floor spacing
      better graphics
      Improve the passing. --- I believe they mentioned this in the Gamespot preview.
      tone down the efficiency of the pro hop --- Gamespot preview
      Add a rebounding game
      Cover Athlete (suggested top 5): 5. Carmelo Anthony

      I'll post more when I see them.

            Online play needs MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR improvement. Last year's was a a joke. I want to see online play as smooth as Madden's, and allow the options for single player to be used online as well, such as calling zones etc. In other words, a sim game online.

                        I would just like to see the Create-a-Team feature brought back. I would love to create a team with a mixture of east, west, and legends.

                              I would love to see Live have a similar franchise mode to Madden where we have player moral and team chemistry involved in the game as well as weekly newspaper articles like NCAA football and madden. I also think it would be cool to have training sesions during the offseason and practices during the season like ESPN Football has.

                              Live also has to improve the crowd atmosphere.While in my oppinion its better then ESPN basketball in atmosphere its still below average. There should be places that are extremely loud and tough to play.The crowd should be smart if the hometeam is playing poorly they should boo, if there on a 10-0 run they should be going crazy.Also When you are playing againt the better teams in the leauge and your on the road I would like to see your player rating actually decrease anwhere from 5-10 points depending on how good they are at home.In the real NBA its tougher to win on the road then it is at home NBA Live should take that into account.

                              I would like to see fatigue play a factor in NBA live as well. lets say your playing on the west coast and are playing 4 games in 5 nights your team should be very fatigued where there jumpers are flat and there fatigued where there defense and overal speed is affected. They could incorporate this simply by just lowering your ratings. I believe features like this will make it harder for the gamer because lets face it by game 50 in the season we are usually destroying the computer by more then 15points a game and I think it would be cool to actually lay a stinker everyonce in a while and make it tougher to win on the road and on long road trips.

                              I would also love to see pre draft workouts where you can workout draft prospects. You should be able to play with them in scrimages like in ESPN College hoops. During the draft you should be able to move up and have an actual war room where you can make and get offers to move up or down to get the player you want.
