Is Superstar Mode Needed For Live 14?

[I Djm]

I think this mode is needed, if done right along with gameplay it can help push Live back into the spotlight. Every since 2k11 My player has been lacking they keep going backwards making it easier and easier for you to succeed

if what live is boasting is true then it would help this mode take off with actually learning the play style of your team for instance playing with the clippers with VDN as head coach you get more points for making dunks and throwing lobs to teammates but playing with clippers with Doc as head coach you get more points for playing good defense getting steals, breaking up plays, making good blocks.

i could go on but i want to hear what you all have to say

To be honest I can see EA taking the lead on basketball games this next generation, if they implement Superstar Mode correctly and use team-specific features to make a more sim experience, expect Live 14 sales to blow through the roof. It will easily surpass MyCAREER if EA knows what they are doing.

Absolutely, my player modes have been one of the main selling points for games, not only basketball, but franchises like MLB the Show, Madden, and FIFA as well.

so what do you guys want to see in theirs that's not in 2k's?

for me
Option to sim ANY game you want
Alternate jerseys like in madden
An emphasis on playing another positions other than Pg (for some reason 2k can't understand that)

REALISTIC PROGRESSION.

You shouldnt be starting over superstars. You shouldn't be able to reach 99 overall in your rookie season. The coach shouldn't slide a CP3/D.Rose/Rondo to shooting guard just to start you at PG.

I just want something realistic. Of course, if you get drafted to a team that has a weakness in your position, you should be able to start right away. But the positions of current NBA superstars should not be altered just to accomodate for you.

While i agree... at the moment that seems to be a BIG "if"

Yes AND No.

Yes because, if they were to do it and do it right, with realistic progression as someone else said, implement features to where it feels like you ARE that superstar. Something like Madden '06's superstar mode, with the PDA, going to talk to your agent, going to train within the week, making big statements such as making the playoffs or talking about the refs or your coaches.

No because, if they were to do it wrong, it would get very boring just like the competition MyCareer mode. Just playing 82 games, getting blamed in those games for things you had nothing to do with, horrible playcalling when your not the ballhandler and nothing to do when your not on the court.

They don't need it to succeed, but it would be a nice feature.

No.

They need to build a solid foundation. They need solid 5 on 5 play. They need a solid franchise mode. I could live without a Superstar mode for a couple years. I just want a basketball game that isn't scripted.
