10 year Live player

[pHiL :)]

Wassup yall. I've been a supporter of the NBA Live series since it started in 1994 and I've been playing EA basketball since Lakers Vs. Celtics on Sega Genesis so yall know that's waaaaaaaay back in the day...LOL

But I wanted to submit a wishlist based on all the things I've always wanted to see in hopes EA will consider these or some of yall submitting wishlists to EA will add some of these suggestions, feel free to do so. Peace to all yall true NBA Live players, NBA2K can lick arse.....

Here goes....


1. Signature moves: This is something we had back in the Lakers Vs Celtics and NBA Showdown days. But what I would like to see each player move, react, shoot, dunk, and crossover how they would look in real life. AI's freestyle controlled crossovers should reflect his repertoire of moves we've seen in real life. Dunk packs should be done away with, there's enough technology to create unique moves per player. At the most there are 450 NBA players, making unique movements and abilities would make trading and free agency a lot more exciting.

2. Save Replays: Madden has it, Live should as well. So when we pull of some great play in our seasons or online play, we could post the replays on the board to share with everyone. And maybe that can lead to an online EA Sports Network showing the best plays per week or per month.

3. Customizable music: Not only should we be able to change the menu, 1-on-1, and practice music, but we should also be able to change the stadium music. We should be able to have each team have its own intro music. Add our own music should be simple as Madden has it, where you can drop MP3s in a folder and they instantly appear in the game, name and all.

4. Hire and fire coaches: In the past 5 years, we've seen more coaching changes than ever. We should be able to hire and fire coaches in season mode and change coaches for exhibition if a coaching change happens in real life.

5. Team colorways for all sneakers: Every sneaker in the game should have colorways that reflect your favorite team, so your player are not limited to a certain shoe. Also, sneakers that are 2 and 3 years old should be removed and replaced with sneakers that are being worn by NBA players now or are going to be released soon.

6. Uniform changes and updates: During a season we should be able to modify the team uniform. Also, if a new throwback is used in the NBA that wasnt in the game when it was released, we should be able to download it as a patch from EA and add it to the game.

7. Create-a-team, Custom teams: This option used to be so much fun back in the early NBA Live games. It should be brought back but this time we should be able to create the uniforms, logos, and stadium from scratch.

8. Technical fouls: Players and coaches should get technical fouls and even ejected for certain behavior after fouls or bad calls.

9. NBA Draft: The draft should be displayed visually how it is displayed on TV. Not just a list of names and numbers, but a presentation with David Stern and each player walking on stage with their team hat on. Also draft trades and off season trades should take place during the draft.

And last but not least...

10. NBA Championship celebration: We are in an age where graphics have gotten much better but game endings have been severely lacking. The end should not be a 30 second montage ending with one player holding up the trophy. If should show highlights of games won during the playoffs, player and coach post game interviews, a shot of the city celebrating, the presentation of the trophy, shots of a parade in the team hometown, the hanging of the championship banner, and the next season's first game should begin with the awarding of the championship rings.


There's my list, once again feel free to add onto it. Peace yall.

8. Technical fouls: Players and coaches should get technical fouls and even ejected for certain behavior after fouls or bad calls.

The NBA will not allow unsportsmanlike technicals to be included in NBA Live and other NBA licensed video games.

You've got some good suggestions there, most of them were in the Wishlist in some form, but I'd personally take improvements to gameplay and a deeper Dynasty Mode over many of them.
