NBA Live 13

Random Thoughts of What I would love to see

Presentation
Great Commentary from a 2-3 person team *sideline reporter wouldn't hurt* that highlights everything going on in the game, season, playoffs etc. Meaning that if the Cavs have a play-off birth on the line in the last game of their season we should know that.

Playoff Crowd noise and chants

Dynamic Attendance

ESPN Integration and replays that are done correctly.
No greasy looking players
Uniforms that aren't painted on.


Gameplay

Tip DUNKS and put backs! Fierce Rejections that fly into the crowd or off the backboard. Proper collision detection and no balls going THROUGH players.
No Sliding aka Ice Skating; Better and more varied Animations....including Signature Animations; Superstar players should play differently than bench/regular role players

Bring back Player roles: High Flyers, Speedsters, 3pt Assasins etc.

I want to see a MyPlayer/Superstar implemented correctly

NBA All-Star Weekend and all the events including Rising Stars game

Throwback Teams ala an NBA Greatest Mode or Jordan Challenges type of mode

Create a Teams
Create a player

10 Player Freestyle where the players aren't just waiting for you to call a play!

I dont want a shot stick! Dribbling moves are the best part of live 10 with the right stick and freestyle passing. They could incorporate some more defensive actions with it though.

Shot stick is so overrated

I liked the collisions in 10 as it was a vast improvement from 09. They just need more blocking/offensive fouls, diffferent swat animations and crowding around the net to stop more dunks and lastly more attention to height/weight ratings

Agree 100% dribble moves with the right stick are awesome and need to be kept but how about using one of the shoulder buttons to "Modify" the right stick ie hold L2 and use the right stick for dribble moves, use the right stick on its own and it becomes a shot stick. Just an idea.

As for contact, I liked the live 10 contact system and although we would all like a game to be as much like real life as possible, I would like to see EA remain different from 2k (no point having two games exactly the same!)

Also for my money EA have always nicely stradled that thin line between sim and arcade. I play games for fun and enjoyment I don't want to have a game that frustrates me or takes hours to master, Again that has always been the nice thing about EA games they are accessible to the casual player but have enough depth to keep more experienced gamers happy.

I could probably go on like a 10 page rant on what I WANT this game to have, but I'm going to keep it short and simple. It also would help to know if they started over from total scratch.

1. Bring back Adidas Live Run. Easily one of my favorite features in an online sports game. Trumped anything that 2k had to offer.

2. Bring back control system of Live 10. Probably the most fluid and intuitive controls that I had used in a basketball game.

3. Fix skimpy weird shaped player models. Also re-do uniform textures and physics. So it doesn't look like shorts are floating.

4. Signature animations!! Lots of them. 2k raised the bar last year. It's time for Live to counter. This goes for all animations as well. No more of the speed up/slow down stuff. Everything should be fluid.

5. Atmosphere in 10 was great. Replicate and improve. Along with Presentation. More TV-esque. Camera cuts/replays/overlays etc.

6. Fix the collision problems that plagued Live 10.

When I think of more, I'll post them, but that's it for now.

Where can I tune in for the show?

My only question so far is:

-Will Live 13 be horizontal scrolling? Elite 11 was vertical like...you guessed it...a hockey game.

your decision BUT we need options. 2k gave us both options so EA needs to also. Live has always had the arcade feel because everyone dribbles like iverson and not alot of dribble moves to LEARN compared to 2k. Shot stick give so many options as opposed to holding down the x button. ITs 2012, time to upgrade and give more options. The game doesnt need to be simplified like last GEN.

i play live 10 and compared shooting with button compared to using shotstick in 2k12 and its night and day. EA GET ER DONE

NBA Live 13 Wishlist

1. Focus on creating a simulation videogame

2. NBA All Star Weekend needs to be included in the game.

3. Have a realtime physics engine in the game.

4. Remome the iceskating, morphing, and robotic movements in the game.

5. Add signature moves, shooting styles, dunks, dribbling, etc. for
all NBA players in the game.

6. Have weight/momentum act as a factor on player performance.

7. Players need to move naturally, fluid, and realistic as possible.

8. Fix the player models in the game. The players look cartoonish.
Make the players look photorealistic to their NBA counterparts.
Improve player skin tones make skin tones and player specific features
(headbands, sleeves, socks, shoes) as close as possible we want it to
be NBA authentic.

9. Use the ESPN license more add dynamic commentary. NBA Live 13 needs
a pregame show ,halftime show, and postgame show. We need broadcast
commentary with emotion Sideline reporters, half-time studio
announcers, weekly wrapups highlights or nightly in NBA.

10. Show the actual ESPN commentators in the game.

11. Add better cloth physics for the jersey's

12. Have players, coaches, refs, fans, staff, etc, all interact with
each other.

13. Focus on the fundementals of basketball

This.... a million times over.

The game needs some type of priority rating to decide who the cpu looks to go through in certain situations.

CPU should try and make an attempt to sub according the teams strengths and look to attack what the gamer has on the floor. (ie Clip's running C. Billups n C. Paul together although they're 2 Point Guards)

Playbooks need to belong to the "Coach" not the team so that hiring/firing a coach will have some type of impact/meaning in the game.

Could also take it further by the coach giving available plays that the team would run.
Again giving coach's some type of impact and injecting them/gamer deeper into the presentation/immersion aspect.

Collisions "Must" be individualized so that player size has an impact.
Individualized so that cpu players would look/be able to set screens anywhere/anytime on the floor instead of being coded/programmed (canned animated) at a "Specific" location on the floor within the play.

The "Ball" needs to be set Free.
Stop with the ball being passed directly to player's only.
A "Lead Pass" that actually goes before the player and bounces off the foor would go a long way towards realism. It's called a Lead Pass!!!

This issue is hindering BBall games from having the type of Free Play that we're seeing from Wade/James and CP3/Griffin in the air.

Global Editor, Global Editor, Global Editor!!!

Just some thoughts dealing with Playcalling.
