I loved ESPN NBA 2004, but the gameplay lacked for me. The presentation was great, the Franchise mode lacking. There wasn't much of a post game in it. But here is your chance to make a wishlist for it.
1. Make rookie faces. ESPN NFL made some nice faces in this years game but the faces were often duplicated and it made me a little angry. ESPN should make a few hundred custom pictures for players.
2. Edit player option. In the new game you should be able to edit your players at any point during the season. Change there hair styles, shoes, color bands.
3. Real salary structure. In ESPN NFL they made a real salary structure, I hope they do the same in 2005.
4. Better Draft Coverage. More options for scouting, being able to see players through out the season. More in depth scouting, and more international players and countries. And for College options there should be Country's listed and a "HS" option. And during the draft have the player come up and accept a hat with David Stern, that would be awesome.
5. Throw-Back jersey's. There in the last game but not during the Franchise mode. They should all be optional like in EA's MVP Baseball 2004.
6. 24/7 should be taken out or modified. In the last game it was pretty boring. Shooting 100's of FT's to gain points and then playing 1 on 1 with no real options. This year it should be included in the Franchise mode where you can enter that player into the draft because otherwise it's a pointless dead end option.
7. Add the NFL's Crib. In ESPN NFL 2004 there is a crib with options. If there is room for it, make it. Earning points and editing a home is fun to me anyway.
8. Make the Playoff's FUN! In sports games the playoff's are like regular games. The playoff's should be special and make the player want to play them. Have playoff stickers on the court, make the crowds louder, make the game more important. And if you win the Trophy make it where the team runs to the court and David Stern hands out the trophy...That would be incredable.
9. Make the Franchise Mode more deep. Have player personalities, email options were players talk to you, be able to make players switch positions from SG to SF, just the little things. Have players piss about there contract, have people demand trades. Like in Madden be able to move to different cities, have newspapers with news, just all the little things real fans enjoy.
10. Better player Models. Most of the guys in the last game fit 4 molds. And most of my 280 pound rookies looked like Tyson Chandler. And I don't like how the taller players run like they have a stick in there ass. They should run fluidly and not run standing exactly straight in the air.
11. Player introductions. They set a mood before the game and they took it out in the 2004 game.
12. Personal moves. Make McGrady kick his leg as he shoots, have Kobe do his famous fadeaway jumper, Jason William's awesome passes', Shaq's low post moves.
13. More realistic dunks. I don't want Shaq tomahawking it 2 feet from the hoop, just a big straight dunk. They really need to make all new dunks because last years were pretty bad. Make them look smoother. And have more of a variety. Last years game had around 10-13 dunks and they got repetitive.
Have anything else to add?
