NBA Legend Mode
New game mode sort of like jordan challenges this mode will be called NBA Legend Challenges. For example Magic vs Larry Legend, Willis Reed coming back for the knicks game 7 championship, Isiah vs Magic, knicks choke against the pacers, Iverson vs Kobe/Shaq, Duncan vs Kobe/Shaq, Dwade vs Dirk etc. Why not utilize the classic teams and make a game mode out of them. You guys can also emphasize on a specific era for the next few installments
Create A Legend
Bring back Create A Legend instead of using a created player in Myplayer 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.
Owner Mode
Owner Mode similar to Madden 07 where you can hire and fire coaches, hire and fire GMs, fan support rating, finances/budget management, upgrading arena, what the crowd color shirts will be, give me the option to control the outlook on the team. Let me be James Dolan and handle the ticket prices, promotions for games, marketing for games, setting up players for interviews, dealing with in house problems/chemistry problems, etc. Please expand on this idea further
Coach Mode
Coach Mode where we have the ability to substitute players, call plays, motivate players and argue calls all on the fly. Get fired work as an assistant coach until other coaching opportunitys open up. Also add coach/player rivalries in coach mode like George Karl and demarcus cousins relationship is in real life. Another cool idea would be able to view and watch the game through the coaches eyes from the sidelines
Referee Mode
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
