Things that need to be updated/corrected

Postby dinocarlo on Wed May 31, 2006 8:19 pm

In the past versions of NBA Live, I always notice the following

1.) In Dynasty Mode, homecourt advantage in the playoffs should be determined by the records, not by the team rankings.

Let's say I'll play Miami in the playoffs using real-life records. In the first round, Denver is going to get homecourt advantage over the Clippers based on the format in NBA Live. If I get to the finals, I get homecourt over teams like Dallas :lol: just because I'm number 2 in the East and Dallas is number 4 in the West. :lol:

2.) New CBA

This isn't really much of a problem as I'm expecting EA to update the game with the new CBA since they didn't have time in NBA Live 06. (such as setting your active/inactive list before games)

3.) Dunk Contest Timer

The NBA Dunk Contest has been happening without timers for quite a while now. I think this should be removed at least for NBA Live 07. Anyway, what does EA care about if you're stuck with Nate Robinson missing 10+ attempts? :lol:

4.) Overtime length

I think the length of one overtime period should be half of your quarter length. (except the 11 and 12 minute quarters, where OT should be also 5 mins each)

5.) Playoff Logos

Why does EA love the 2003 conference finals logos? I saw those in NBA Live 2004, 2005, and 06. (The one where only the NBA logo and "Conference Finals" is present) I think those sucked. (N) If EA didn't have time last year to use the 05 ones, why not the 04 ones?


I'll limit my thoughts to these for now. There are already a lot of threads and good ideas about graphics in the last wishlist.

Agree on all counts, so long as 12 minute quarters retain the regulation 5 minute overtimes. ;) In that regard, the sim intervention also needs to be corrected on overtimes. Currently if you intervene heading into overtime, you'll play another 12 minute period.

Well that sounds like a rather big glitch.

One more thing to add to the dunk contest. The timer is pretty useless, I can only see it "useful" in multiplayer modes. But shouldn't there be the option to have endless dunk attempts after miss dunks? Seeing Nate clank it 5+ times there should be.

Perhaps it could be optional rather than a set rule.
