Things i hope will be fixed in 2005:
1. Double team animation
- why do players literally stick to the offensive player. and, when i'm controlling the defender, why can't i get out of the double team animation?
- when i'm double teamed why do i stop? logically, a player can still move, the difference is that the offensive player has a higher chance of committing a turnover by getting the ball stolen. so why not just make it that way?
2. Awkward shot
- there is a shot animation that all players would usually put up when pressured. this is really annoying because normally, the offensive player can still put up a decent shot. the difference is, there is a higher chance that the shot will be blocked.
3. Passing
- the passing animations are horrendous. just watch an nba game and you'll know what i'm talking about.
- allow us to control the type of passes. or at least have some degree of control.
- fix the pace of the passing, some of the passes are too fast.
4. More sliders - have sliders that are directly related to a player's attribute. in fact, have sliders for all the players attributes.
5. Don't make the jump stop too effective. the reason it is too effective in the game is that it doesn't follow the normal collision physics, the offensive player would just move his defender out of the way.
6. Have more in depth player ratings
- have ratings for lay-up, post up, athleticism, etc.
7. More lay-up animations for players with high lay-up rating.
8. More post moves
- have a pirouette move
- include the ability to use footwork or pivot moves at the post
9. Have a hack or hard foul button
10. Have the option to turn free throws to automatic - based on free throw ability of the player
11. More game modes
12. More in-depth dynasty mode (not just cutscenes).
13. Better player movement - players are just sliding all over the court.
14. Better player models - make them authentic.
15. Better court spacing - players seem to be too crowded. the court is too small.
