anyways, i'm gonna post something here bout NBA Live. Might as well make this whole thread somewhat SPAM free.
Have you played NBA Live from 2000 versions through to 2004. What's one thing that you notice? One thing i notice for sure is that none of the games are perfect. Why? Let's think about that. If say, 2005 was perfect (not PERFECT but w/o major bugs) then i probably wouldn't buy 2006, 2007 and even 2008. Why replace something that's 'perfect'. If I think this way, then there are other people that think this way and thus EA will not make the perfect game.
Each year they release an upgraded version, something to appease our minds but nothing that's close to the elusive perfect game. 2000 had Franchise mode, 2001, um that was a downgrade, 2003 had fast breaks and 2004 has sliders. If combined all the aspects of each game we would have the game that we all wanted.
The PSX1 versions of Live should be how the game should be modelled. I believe that the best gameplay was on the PSX1. 2002 had perfect gamespeed, blocks were correct, substitutions were good, mid range jumpers. All it lacked was freestyle game, fouls and fastbreaks. PC03 had too much fast breaks, PC04 had sliders, howevere EA introduced that new 'bump' that players do which eliminates freestyle play, and the blocks across 03 & 04 are shocking, as well as the rebounding.
So if we combine all the positives and take out all the negatives from each year we get THE PERFECT GAME (gameplay wise). We'd have.....
fastbreaks, realistic blocks, good rebounding, etc....all the good shit....but, it will never happen.....sometimes i wanna play PS1 02 again
P.S i passed all my Units at Uni, i thought i'd fail 2
