honestly we dont have anything to loose...

everything here needs to get deeper.

parts of the dna experiment needs to go such as dna shooting and dna teddencies....player dna can stay

IMO dna tendencies leads the game to feel scripted way too much ex dirk has a 54% shoot with no dribble so when he gets it he's jacking, no jab step, no pump fake nothing even if a double comes he's shooting. if you jab steped a guy then shoot its still a no dribble jumper, even sizing up the court or something not just catch and pull with 18 sec on the clock

replace it with player tendencies, ok dirk likes to shoot off the pick and roll thats dna now how does the player like to shoot: a fadeaway, hook shot, leaner, runner etc


dynamic season should be changed IMO to a dynamic match up. i would rather team and player stats vs each other, maybe get the guys to talk about that during the game like mlb 2k10, this way because stats change the commentary will vary a bit

I can agree that all those need to stay, especially control, playcalling and dynamic season. If anything, they should continue to fix what's there and not necessarily add anything new. I had created a whole list of fixes/improvements/additions/whathaveyous and posted it on their site that they had up for such things.

Oh, and truth be told, I don't think they need Mike Wang, anymore. He gave them a jumpstart and now it's time for EA to drive the car. I was initially upset as anyone who supported Live 10 and loved what Mike Wang contributed to a much better playing game but now that THAT emotion is over, I am confident that EA wants to do the right thing with this franchise regardless of what MW said in his posting about EA after he left.
I see what they are doing with ALL their sports franchises WITHOUT even having Mike Wang having even touched them from Madden to the new NCAA 11 to NHL to Fifa. He's not exactly a savior like many of us gave him so much cred for being and it's not like they can't get their sports games together without him.

Live 11 WON'T drop the ball and I expect it to get even more competitive.

Everything is there. They just need to flesh it out more, and give it all a little flavor.

The game lacks personality. thats all that is really missing.

the player control in Live 10 was masterful and that aspect of the game should remain untouched. the shooting control and dribbling control were superb and player locomotion was exceptional and way ahead of 2k. I also loved the addition of direct pass receiver control. That feature alone has added so much to the game for me and I don't think I would play a basketball game again that didn't offer direct pass receiver control. They need to keep the things that work and build on them, rather than revamping the entire game and making it worse. As of now, player control and direct pass receiver control are the 2 things that made Live the best basketball game of 2010.

What needed to stay in NBA Live 11 has already gone back to 2K, Mike Wang. I'm sorry, but you can't take anything away from the guy. Before he got there, the game was average at best, bordering on terrible at times. He's there for ONE full dev cycle, NBA Live 10, and the game almost supplanted the 2K series. With him gone, these lists don't matter for Live. They've lost before the game has even started.
