i read from a new nba live 08 blog at ign that they’ll have a front end screen for hotspots of every player. i think that they should just add a disable option for hotspots during the actual game so that it won’t be distracting if you’re playing with another person or online.

actually if you think about it, it’s not very surprising to see something like this. With MVP Baseball, the strike zone had a sort of color coded hot/cold zones. Now the guy from MVP has come over to Live and they’ve implemented the same thing. Problem is a basketball court is MUCH bigger than a strike zone lol. They probably could have just put in the 14 ratings and called it a day. The display could show up when looking through the rosters before a game, or as some said in practice mode.

And could someone actually define what a “gimmick” is. It gets thrown out there so much I don’t know what qualifies lol.

i think online play one might be more likely to take the shot. playing against AI in Dynasty may be a different case.

How about low difficulty levels you could pull up the zones, but on the higher ones you would only have an indicator color? That sounds pretty neat to me.

Only thing is how much would it matter? Would people still attempt to seek out only red zones that way? If you had an open shot, but saw your indicator was blue, would that change whether you took it or not?

Sean, good idea on the indicator color change for hot spots.
