The NBA Store

Postby TRUball on Fri Aug 22, 2003 7:45 am

Ok, you know how they adding the NBA store in the game, I hope you can buy more stuff than just head bands and retor jerseys. Like I hope you can buy like maybe different warm-ups if they have warm-ups in the game, which u could use for like when you play one on one and stuff like that. And I hope you will be able to buy stuff like those sleves that AI wears, and those leg sleves that kobe and t-mac and others wear.... what do you guys think?

NBA Live also has shoes you can get and i'm pretty sure you can get arm and leg sleeves(maybe not from the store) because they were in 2003.

I hope there's a good amount of accessories already available out of the box. But I'm beginning to like the idea of the NBA Store - it's another incentive to play all the games and hold interest throughout a long season.

The store does give incentives, but the thing of it is that it's pretty much the same as with 3pt shootout and dunk contest... It gets old rather fast. And if the store is only used for opening up locked items, well it's is going to be a one time deal... Once you've bought them all, well the store gets old. And that is bad... It is a one time use item. If they have a some sort of an effect. Like buying new shoes will lessen injuries and all sorts of braces will help keep a battered man together, well then it would be nice.

Incentives are easily spent... And are usually a one time thing.

I don't know if I'd play a full 82 game season, just to get a retro jersey to use in exhibition...

I know what you mean. I guess it's more of a gimmick to get you hooked on playing as many games as possible.

well, instead of the nba store i´d much rather have detailed game recaps/box scores in season and franchise modes. kinda like the nhl series, when you click on any game from the calendar you get the box score with scoring summaries, 3 stars etc. something like that would be much more useful, as you can see which of your next opponents players have had it going lately.

I just hope it is a real 3d model of the NBA store on 5th ave here in NYC. If that is the case it would really be off the mother loving hook, ya heards me. :D

I like that idea, but I also like the nba store idea.... But anyway, ya that idea is pretty good, cause like when you sim a game, you don't get the stats and stuff, so like if you are keeping a tally kind of thing for maybe your franchise and like player career highs and stuff, you would have to play every game if you keeping track of that. But if you simed you could see that, that would be cool. But if it means taking out the NBA store than I wouldn't like it to be in, unless off course they just add it without taking anything out.(y) But one of the reason I like the nba store game is that it is something to work 4. Sure there is the playoffs, mvps, nba championships and stuff but those are things that are always in nba games. But this is another thing to work for, even to look forward to like see what you can buy and stuff. Hopefully new items come out as you go through the franchise or else if you start with a good team it gonna get pretty boring...
