Showtime in 2005 (some real fun)

Mon Jul 12, 2004 10:58 pm

I'd like to see some showtime in nba live 2005....
i mean not only things like no look passes like magic jhonson but also things like jumping for a lay-up and then pass it in the air to a free teammate behind you.
There can be also some different styles of lay-ups like the spin the reverse one behind the back and trough the legs (maybe when you are alone).I think they may gave to the players their own style...you know jason williams passing no?

Yeah one of my biggest pet peeves in 2004 is being unable to pass the ball while going for a dunk/layup...

There was this old game, NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC, that I played on my PS1, and man it was so fun. It was purely an arcade game, 2on2, but it was really fun. For example, you could do double dunks (go in for a dunk, then your teammate jumps behind you (and ultimately above you), and you pass the ball up to him as you're both falling and he dunks it. Ah, the memories. :cry:

oh men this is too arcade i mean realistic ones! you can pass it behind the back to a teammate in front of you or pass it with a no-look spin (like jason williams).
This is not arcade this can be very funny and give some action to boring play(wich gets boring if they are always the same)
If you have to control the court(as ea sports says) do that with STYLE!

A little more razzle-dazzle would be nice, as long as it's under control. Perhaps there could be a slider that could make the game very arcade-ish, keep it realistic with some highlight plays, or keep everything fundamental.

have you guys played NBA Ballers?

man, if nba live's game play was that good (w/o the playground moves) it would be awesome...

The only problem would be if the game became too arcade-ish or the spectacular moves were used too often. That's why I think a "Fancy Moves" slider should be implemented if we can control behind-the-back passes and so forth. Those moves would also have higher risk depending on reality as governed by the game settings.

yeah that's good a slider could work....just hope :)
