So many cut scenes......

[Fcuk Orlando]

Wow, I really love this game and one of things that makes this game great is the cut scenes. Theres a plethora of cut scenes in dynasty mode like when you play a game it'll choose a player from one of their teams and shows their offensive or defensive skill set.
When you make the nba 1st team or coach of the year you get a cut scene where the player/coach who won in a press confernce with David Stern. When you choose your draft pick on a player, theres a cut scene where it shows your chosen player thanking god before he walks up on the stage with David Stern. When someone retires, it shows a player leaving the team's locker room for the very last time.
When you renegotiate contracts with your players, it has a cut scene where it shows your player in a suit talking to your GM and shaking hands.
During practice there are little cuts scene depending on what you're main focus is like when your main focus is conditioning, it has a cut sceneof players doing suicides. When You practice defence it shows a cuts scene of players making defensive plays against one another. When you focus on offense it has a cut scene of players dribbling down the court and passing the ball to each other. When your main focus is shooting, it shows players making jump shots. There's also mid season magazine covers that the game makes that are pretty cool too.

They certainly were one of the more popular elements of NBA Live 2004.

Yeah, I loved the cutscenes too. Live 2004 was probably my favourite in the series and those cutscens were one of the reasons for it.

There was a cutscene also when after a trade someone high rated (at least 70 overall I think) joined your team, he was walking into the locker room and welcomed by a few players from the team.

Another thing that was great that they need to add to the new NBA Lives are the ESPN bar at the bottom of your screen that gave you news on injuries, trades and league leaders and final scores during games.

They've got a real news ticker these days with ESPN Integration but bringing back the fictional one in Dynasty Mode would be nice.
