It's a big deal for me because I'm accustomed to playing games with stories upon stories & some cutscenes tying into the stories. I really dislike all the barebones of the rising star mode & honestly it gets boring quickly. Maybe somewhere along the lines of the old wwe games or even the old Madden games with the radio in franchise & the newspaper of all teams. I like to live the life of an NBA superstar because I'll never get to experience that myself. One last thing, and this is just me, the longer it takes to create my player the better. I'm of the mindset that a ton of options to create my baller is better because that time & effort is well worth it. I mean no one wants to look like the same baller when playing online. That's just what I wish for & if voices are implemented, give us a few voices & a pitch slider. Not too much for that one. Thanks for this.

I am going to have to agree with Mercilus on this one...certainly the Live team won't be able to implement such things as cutscenes into this years installment, but adding such things as storylines with screenshots rather than just a little blurb will add to the depth in dynasty mode. Similarly press conferences asking you to speak like FIFA style even would be nice. I like the email system that you receive from players and directors in FIFA that really give you a feel for your team. Another thing I'd like to see is player intros in the beginning of games, whether its Duncan gripping the ball or KG under the net, it really sets you up before a big game. Additionally I'd like the control of hiring or firing your coaching staff, medical staff etc. If I want to change teams a la J-Kidd, I should have that option to keep me going fresh. Lastly and I think most importantly for everyone is player editing.

I'd like to comment more but those are what I believe deserve the talking points.

Physics in the paint needs work ASAP. It can literally change the way the game is played.

For example there is this animation where a player gets the OREB and he's under the net so he goes for a layup and it's a weird animation where the player pushes everyone behind him away and he just gets the layup, makes it almost impossible to block.

Honestly, Live 15 looks, plays and feels LAST GEN. If EA decided to charge $30 for this game then not many people, myself included, would probably care that much because it's somewhat a fun arcade-style NBA game. But to charge $60 for a beta/incomplete/rushed game is absurd.

EA needs to blow it up again and start from scratch with a completely new dev team. Also I appreciate these EA "Game changers" trying to hype this game and give the appearance that it's way better than the actual product, party due to them getting free advanced copies from EA, but let's start being objective and unbiased here. All of this "sugar-coating" is unnecessary and becoming pretty evident.

To add to my initial response we need the ability to edit this games BADLY! Place this at the top of the list! It would be best if the community addressed various stats etc so EA can dedicate their resources to other areas beyond our control. Yesterday for example, Kevin Martin hit 9 3 pointers and 6 in a row during a 24 minute game! Keep in mind that I was able to accomplish this while the coaching defense setting were globally (all players within a team) set to Tight on ball pressure and normal off ball pressure on Superstar level! I'm sure it could have been worse but had to restrain myself a bit. This is clearly an issue amongst many! This kills fg% stats as you can imagine since we're striving for realism here. It also doesn't allow the cpu to offer much of a challenge. I do believe we can correct these and other shortcomings as a community!

I say EA should address as much as they can with a patch to improve the game and give us editing capabilities to truly round it out! I will say again that there is untapped potential here, this year! In my opinion, EA can focus on sliders, etc next year. I hope this is viewed favorably!

Player specific play calling.

I would love to see it be easier to play off ball passing lane defense. Cosmetic edits, and maybe full editing on rookies, I'm probably rare in my opinion but I hate sliders and full rating customization. Add more difficulty levels for those that need them. How can you tune the gameplay if everyone is working with a different set up?

A lot of sports games, including the other NBA title go overboard and over complicate the game, so much so that it's not fun. I don't want to have a million things to tweak, or a million different moves to master to be good at the game. It's a basketball game, not a fighting game. Deliver a good game that is fun to play and plays a good game of basketball.

One thing that would be revolutionary that I would like to see is I like the first year of a franchise to mimic reality as much as possible, find a way to update (within our franchises) current injuries, trades, signing etc, but give the option to turn it off for the folks that don't want that.

Edit:
Forgot one thing that I would like to see more of, more off ball movement on offense without calling plays.

All i've got to ask.... are they working on patches rather than roster updates??

I mean the Orlando Magics Pride outfit is great and all that....
