NBA Live '13 Wishlist

[P-Dub]

As for competition, the Live series has always had a less variety of animations. I'd like then to have a wide variety of animations both contextual and signature to help differentiate the players and give the gameplay more visual variety.

I want lots of strategic coaching options. NBA Live has usually had a very basic set of options for this aspect. I am thinking of special inbound plays to defensive and offensive priorities and strategic substitutions.

I really want to see them change the way the difficulties work by using adaptive AI instead of just boosting probabilities.

Wodemingzishi Jin Hoping for a good Dynasty mode. Just one bit of a suggestion, could we try dynasty mode cut scenes like in Live 04? Those little details were what made Dynasty mode so fun to play back then. Record season by season stats for each player/playoff stats Have a hall of fame, have the ability to retire numbers like in live 05. Rookies have announcable names, and make sure to have pregame presentations, preferably headed by ESPN during the games. Have a better FA signing thing, the 3 guesses thing really didnt work out too well. Possible allow retired players to be hired into staff/convinced for a comeback. With a FIBA Licence, possibly include the FIBA World Club Championships as well? OH AND PLEASE PUT THE MAGAZINE COVERS BACK IN. Those were beyond sick. The My Player knockoff would be nice as well. In game, my only complaint is losing the ball in the paint too frequently and the animation felt locked, and there should be more fluidity on the defenders vs the dribbles, Live 10 had spins getting interrupted, and the complete animation being canceled in lieu of a "defensive stop" animation, transitions between animations will be key to making a fluid game. Hope they read this. If they dont, and someone at Live forums agrees with me, please do pass it on at the appropriate boards, thanks.

I'm hoping Live 13 is good. If the previews are good, I might wait a week or 2 and see peoples opinions on both games before deciding which to get.

I hope Live is similar to how it was during Live 06, but obviously with PS3/360 graphics/gameplay improvements/better commentary

My suggestions:

Forget EVERYTHING they have done after NBA Live 2005, although I think 08 and 09 were decent.

Do not build anything off of their past few games, just start over.

Try to somehow bring back memories of NBA Live 2005 because so many people loved that game.

Make dynasty mode completely different from that of 2K's but make sure it stands out in a unique way.

Keep up the impressive online play, as most would say that has had the edge between the two basketball games.

Do the best job possible of making the player movements and navigation look realistic.

Also, one thing that people look at but don't bring up is how the ball is released all the way until it goes through the net. How pleasant and realistic will all that look? That is very important.

In this day and age, go to moves and player tendencies are important, but don't over-emphasize it. Focus mainly on making the player as effective as they are in real life.

Teambuilder

This is my biggest request. I think it would be easier for the Live series considering they already have Game Face and Teambuilder in a couple of their other games. What really made me think about this is the New Orleans new owner saying that he wanted to change the mascot. As a native of Charlotte, NC this of course made me think of the possibility of the Bobcats becoming the Charlotte Hornets once again.
This would need to be an online thing so that you can fully customize everything that you want and download it over the EA servers.
With this you can create expansions, relocate teams, or simply edit an existing team. In my mind, I would want to make the Bobcats the Hornets, change the logo, colors, court etc. Change the New Orleans Hornets to the New Orleans Jazz and then rename the Utah Jazz something else (maybe the Utah Bobcats?).
If you wanted to create a team, you could start from scratch, and when it came to your roster, you could have the CPU give you computer generated players, or you could use Game Face to get real faces on the team.
You could also relocate teams. Say I want to relocate the Sacramento Kings, I could move them to Seattle, change the mascot to the SuperSonics, and when I edit the roster, I would set it to the current Kings roster. Bada-bing. Bada-boom.
You could create up to 10 expansion teams for a total or 40 teams in the league.

Game Face

Being able to get your actual face into the game is huge. Especially if you can still go in and edit hair, facial hair, etc. If they don't feel like doing art updates (like 2K12) I could upload Kobe on GameFace, have that Kobe replace the Kobe that is in game, and voila! I can edit his hair, facial hair, build, etc. myself as the season progresses by simple going into the Edit Player option.
You could also create all the legends and classic teams you want.

Create Draft Classes- Online

Game Face would REALLY help creating draft classes. There are a lot of guys out there that can make the college guys look pretty realistic, but imagine being able to use their ACTUAL faces in the draft class. What would look more realistic than that? Not to mention editing tendencies, ratings, etc. would be a lot quicker on a computer.
