Check out the ultimate 2006 wishlist

[dasunsrule1]

Here's what I would love to see for NBA Live 2006:

- My boy Amare Stoudemire, or Shawn Marion as the US cover athelete
- COMPLETE Stats! (I miss not seeing my teams ppg average and such! I miss not seeing all the home standings and road standings. Technical fouls, maybe flagarant fouls too! I want EVERY stat that there is! Triple-Doubles, Double-Doubles, etc. Stats on the road and home.)
- Dunk contest online
- Online leagues
- I want to see more about my opponent online
- Dynasty mode revamp (I want to be able to select more than one team in my dynasty mode! My friend and I love playing Madden in the same Dynasty mode, with two different teams. Eliminate Dynasty Points for training players - make it part of the salary cap. Add signing coaches and staff. Simulate faster w/ intervention. I would like to be able to see more boxscores. More complete scouting - who the draftee resembles. Add a Timer for the draft. More realistic names for the cpu created players. Completely revamp the player trading! Ah, it's so frustrating! I want all the facts in front of me when I'm wheeling and dealing; stats, cap space, contract, just make it more user friendly. Add my player contracts up for me that I'm trading. I love how dealing with teams it is more realistic, it takes some time to make trades work. Add a real trading block to see who's on the chop! Where'd the magazines go? I would like those back with in depth previews and team and league news. Use that to replace NBA News, let it deal with trades, signings, rookie previews, offseason news, injuries, player awards - add weekly nba player awards too, unhappy players, coaching news, and interviews. I would really love to see some kind of radio show or something, that would rule! Being able to set prices for everything! Add a more in depth progression mode - I want to be able to pick every detail of the players skills I want to upgrade! Let me practice with free agents, before I sign them. Make free agents that are good, maybe want to play with me for a lower amount if I'm a winner. Just use Madden's Player profile interests' system. I want to play summer leagues - that would rule to develope my lesser players. I want to pick whether I want my players participating in All Star Weekend events - what happens if he got injured or something? Fix the tiebreaker bug in the standings - I've had it where I was tied and won, but it gave it to the other team because of their name was higher in the alphabet; Denver over Phoenix. AND Import the whole frickin Madden Franchise mode!)
- Bring back the NBA ONLY NEWS AND SCORES Sports ticker in the regular menus
- Make it a simulation! I'm tired of tweaking the gameplay for hours to get the right feel! (I want to be able to PLAY a 12 minute qtr game out of the box with realistc gameplay and stats! I want the blocks lessened, way to many. Steals, too! Make it more of a talent required to play D! More timing required!)
- Let me save the game in progress so I can finish it later (I really miss that feature!)
- I want to fastbreak, half court it up, zone it up (Make the AI players smarter on rebounding, defense, and offense. They still stare at the ball, and just let players drive to the hoop without a blink! I want them to get back on D if I make a shot. Let the CPU burn me if I miss.)
- Maybe add the floor general playcalling
- Stop the AI players from diving for the ball everytime they get a steal! (It stops their fastbreak, or they fly out of bounds. Make it so they can decifer when they need to dive and when not. I have had games go down to the wire, and they stole it from - having a chance to beat me; yet they fly out of bounds to give it away to me.)
- I want to be rewarded for taking it to the basket hard
- Make the Team styles more realistic (I want my players to be sucking for air if their playing against the Suns, Wizards, Sonics, Kings, Mavericks, or the Magic. Make a noticable playing style between teams.)
- I want to argue the refs calls (Make it where IF I tap a button after a call, bad or good, I can "fill up a meter" before I get a Technical foul. Make it so I can get "tossed" in games.)
- Add a more realistic momentum to the game (Technical fouls by the coaches and players, can affect that for good or bad; depending on the timing in the game.)
- Free Throws (Needs a redo, way to easy!)
- Player cards would be cool!
- Maybe a street "hustler franchise mode", ala ESPN 2k5's mode, or AND1 Mixtape mode
- Player editing screen (More sliders, maybe a "Star power slider - Makes them more clutch and takes the shots". 2005 is a positional game, only the scoring comes from certain positions. Ex: the 1, 2, and 3 postions. Make the offense run through best players! Not just positions.)
- Player lock revamp (I want to lock just one player, not position! If he get's subbed out, I'm not playing at all until I get subbed back in.)
- Let the AI adjust to how a player is playing (I want it to learn how I play during a Dynasty mode!)
- Add a Freestyle Shot. (When I'm in mid-air let me change my shot with the Analog stick!)
- I miss seeing every statistical RATING for teams (I don't want to see that a team is "just 90". I want their rebounding, defensive, offensive, coaching, and player ratings overall. A team can have a bunch of great players and still suck! I want all of that to affect gameplay and simulation.)
- I would like a type of team chemistry
- It would be nice to have a hard foul button (Sometimes they just don't get the idea to stay out of the lane, or the Intentional Foul isn't working quickly enough. Ex: 1.5 sec on the clock, I would like to be able to have more than 0.5 on the clock in those type of situations.)
- Where'd my frickin User Profiles go? (I miss that! Make it like Madden's I want it to save my stats, settings, and playbook settings.)
- Make three-way deals, ability to throw in cash, and future draft picks
- Their isn't enough CPU player and team deals
- I would like to be able to resign a contract of players during the season, if the NBA salary rules allow so. Not just the off-season
- I want a home court advantage! (Something like NCAA maybe)
- The more I use turbo the more quickly I tire (Let me train conditioning to offset that.)
- Let me make my own identity for my team (Not just a preset fab for a team.)
- A two man announcing crew, and reporters to talk to coaches and players during and after the game. Make them find out about injuries, trades, etc.
- More realistic halftime show would be cool, and intermission breaks
- Cheerleader shows (Maybe like Live 97)
- Return w/ off-ball. It works well.
- More Roster Updates during the season (And adjust player ratings too! If their not as good, or better than you thought, change it!)
- I want to be able to see boxscores during the playoffs
- Where'd all the cutscene's go in the game?
- The ability to add nicknames to players
- All-time teams: 75-76, 92-93 Suns, etc. (And use real player names!)
- Keep all the NBA Store, Records. Very cool!
- Maybe cool unlockable player or team videos.
- Add more gameplay and settings bars to tweak
- Coaches can be removed during the season, for CPU and Human. (If your fired, then you have to find a new job duriing your dynasty. BUT ONLY MAKE THIS OPTONAL)
- Make a pure GM mode only (All you deal with is everyday affairs)
- The game feels pretty realistic, but maybe tone down the game speed a bit
- I want to be able to select what kind of pass I want to do!
- Make platform specific graphics: XBOX should be clearly better than PS2
- Make it feel like a finished product this year
