NBA Live 17 Wishlist

[Ermolli]

I don't know if it's too late for creating this thread but decided to give it a go anyway. I thought it would be better for the devs or gamechangers to have one single thread to point out things to improve, glitches that still need addressing and stuff you want added into their next release.

Feel free to post what you'll like EA to add or improve for NBA Live 17, please add sincere, unbiased and constructive feedback.

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

All they need to do is bring back things they took out that hasn't been in since live 09. Why they have not had ASW game modes and mini games in since live 09 is beyond me. The game as it stands right now is right where it needs to be gameplay wise. Add in the presentation similar to 2k interviews by using the espn license and ASW that 2k stole as theirs and they could easily overtake 2k.

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

The gameplay still needs work. No doubt about that. I have no expectations for Live 17. This way I won't be disappointed again.

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

In addition to more animations/signature and differentiating animations.

Improved post game

Focus on defense:rotations, contact in the paint, help defense, traps and double teams.

Keep improving Pro-am:Squads for tournament play with leaderboards and stats, jersey/court creation, mode that requires one of every position.

Nerf ally oops and full court passes.

Off ball control similar to live 10

All devs must play live 10..

Hangar

Better crowd, signs, people getting up, walking to seats, use of stairs
Create a fan/enemy fan using face app too. I'd love to go into a rival and see enemy fan constantly in floor seats being annoying.

One offline/online 30 player franchise/my player. Just lump it into one and don't go crazy with off court presentation. Let us create a player. Use him exclusively or control a team with created player.

Full editing.

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

I think the major areas that need to be focused on are...

The post Game
Signature animations
More face scans and done sooner
Full editing
Expanded playbooks

I would be extremely pumped if all these were addressed. If they add the hanger and All-Star Weekend as well I will be even more excited.

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

I prefer to play offline against the AI, so I would love to see more Challenges

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

1. We need an option to tilt the floor if for example we see lebron isolating on one side of the court, we can hit quick play "Tilt Floor", which will tell all weakside defenders to sag off their man and be ready to bring immediate help against lebron if he decides to go to the basket

2. There should be a "Double-Off ___ player" option. For example if I'm playing the grizzlies and Z-Bo gets the ball down-low, I want to be able to set my defensive settings for Tony Allen to "Double-off Tony Allen". So that the player defending Tony Allen is the one who comes over for the double team, not the guy guarding Mike Conley who can actually shoot.

3. Introduce something similar to the VIP system where we could download online players or our own VIP profiles and assign them to any team. To prepare us on that players tendencies or just to give us the feeling of playing online, offline against the cpu

This idea is about the VIP System or Adaptive AI for RisingStar mode and Dynasty mode. It would be cool if the ai was able to adapt to your playstyle in Dynasty mode and RisingStar mode using your season tendencies and gameplanning against that. Like putting a certain defender on player X or attacking a player on defense that has been giving up alot of points recently. If there is favorite spot you like to score from the ai would adapt and have a help defender zone you or if your in a cold shooting slump the defender will sag off of you. This will all possible if you brought in the VIP system the competition had years ago.

4. Not every team pushes the ball on a break so how about this idea. Have a walk the ball up the court/fastbreak tendency for user/cpu for sometimes you want CPU to just slow things down ( MIGHT BE CONTROLLED BY COACHING TENDENCY)

5. Being able to call timeouts midair when ball goes out of bounds or attempt to throw ball off of of other team players. Just thinking maybe things could move in slow motion for a bit, just brainstorming on this idea off the top of my head please NBA Live expand on this further.

6. There should be a switch button for ex rondo is guarding lebron I should be able to run over with butler and press the switch button to get rondo to switch. It would really help on pick and roll defense

7. This rating, badge, tendency or option is for bigman like Ben Simmons, Draymond Green that like to push the ball in transition after a rebound, there should be a rating, badge, tendency or option for players like that. "Bigman one man fastbreaks"

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

Also, we should have a sort of "Help Defense Attention" meter for every player in the Coaching section of the pause menu. So, like, if we're playing against Cleveland, we can set LeBron's Help Defense Attention to 100, so that everyone will be focused on bringing help defense when he drives, but we can set jr smith to like 50, so when he drives, help defense will come, but not as strong as when LeBron drives.

That's how it works in real life. As of now, our only option is to set help defense strength to the same value for everybody, so that the help on a jr smith drive will look the same as on a James drive.

Hell, to even add to that, if you set someone to 100, the defense should shade, tilt the court, whatever you wanna call it, toward that player when he gets the ball in position to make a play (i.e., at or inside the three-point line).

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

This idea is for SimHeads, Player Breather Meter for players that abuse the turbo button. Similar to how the gatorade icon pops up warning you of your fatigue level, this instead will have a meter warning you to take a breather. Just like in real life players will take plays off when their winded, the same result will take place in the game but as you become stationary and layoff the turbo your players breather meter will regenerate. Once you abuse the turbo again the meter will decrease leaving your player with signs of sluggishness.

As the meter depletes fully it leaves your player vulnerable on the offense affecting the players strength in the post position and boxing out. On defense a winded player will be more susceptible to fouling offensive player for example hand-checking fouls on defense and holding offensive cutter like players do in real life when they need a breather. As an off-ball player for both offense and defense your player will compensate by having moments of bending down hands on knees gasping for air. Please expand on this idea further

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

Make a Legend Mode you could start your career with a current NBA player. With whoever you select you have the ability to befriend teammates, other players throughout the league to form your own BIG 3. Form rivalrys amongst other players and have in house fights between coaches or players. Call out teammates/coaches in front of the media, hire and fire agents, get endorsements etc.

Create your Crib in RisingStar and make it interactive - A Door: to play your next game - A Computer: is your NBA .com - A Closet: is your edit player - A Television: could be your 2k highlight or recap of the week in the NBA - A Bed: where you can simulate to the next day - A GYM: where you can edit and assign your skill points and do drills - A Shrine: as you complete milestones and win awards - A Phone: so you can contact your teammates, your coach and agent - Mini games: like playing pool, poker that you can play in your spare time

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

. Referee Mode where you have the ability to officiate the game from all 3 of the referees eyes. All you do is press X to change from one referee eye view to the next referee eye view. Also you have one button for whistle and your able to select the foul or violation. For fouls/violations there will be colored markers underneath player that lights up a certain color alerting you of the foul/violation. For example red =travel, blue=blocking foul you'll have a certain time limit to call the foul/violation. For plays in the paint the camera would zoom in on the action and the game would slow down at the point of contact and it will be up to your discernment if the contact was a foul or not. Your performance would be graded on how accurate you are in calling fouls/violations between the time limit. Please expand on this great idea further, instead of colors underneath player it will be a random button that pops up randomly underneath player that you have to press before time lapses. So if it says press button B for the foul you have press it before button under player disappears. Every game you recieve scores your high scores are based on how accurate you are calling fouls. Your also competing against other fictional referee crews around the league. The referee crews with high scores get to referee the playoffs and the remaining crew with the highest score get to referee the finals

2. Call this rarely but flop button for the offensive player to draw fouls. For example james harden is driving into the lane with shotblocker like deandre jordan in the lane so double tap B button to initiate contact with defender and you end up grabbing your head in pain or flailing your arms or you end up falling on the floor. Make this a risk reward where not all the time you get the call and by flopping you risk turning over the ball

3. Reggie Miller leg kickout animation included in flop button on jumshots. Have it rarely called but it just adds a new layer to game play

4. For classic teams how about some old school presentation, example NBA on NBC theme tune and how about add generic commentators to freshen things up

5. Better halftime analysis, have game breakdown rather than random clips, breakdown the 1st and 2nd quarters for the halftime show, 3rd, 4th and overall game for the post game show analysis

6. The little things add championship gear to players that win the last two rounds of the playoffs

7. Tripping Foul calls ala Grayson Allen of Duke

8. This might already be in the game, we'll I know that the crowd in the game already stands up during end of game situations. But how about a big shot during the end of game you should have to crowd standing up actually jumping up and down punching their fist in the air in excitement

9. Implement player headfakes

[Crunky]

Re: NBA Live 17 Wishlist

The Little Things Wishlist Pt1

1. Players/Coaches that complain to the ref should recieve technicals
3. Players dropping accessories on the court floor for ex headbands after a hard foul
4. More highfiving teamates after trying to score on foul calls
6. During player interview segments have players wiping their head with a towel and have players change posture bending forward to hear sideline reporter better due to crowd noise
8. Make games more chippy and dirtier ex after a hard foul players confront each other ref steps in to break confrontation
9. Have bench players interact with in game players walking to the bench with high fives and chest bumps
10. Add this layup animation where player leads with their knee causing an offensive foul
11. Power dribble animation after an offensive rebound or a pass
