No problems for me with the NBA, great game to watch. I would say it's biggest problem is getting players to give 100% in the regular season. Plenty of superstars, as many as ever.
Now, the nhl, needs 2 things to become exciting again.....
1: Not be on strike.
2: No more offsides. They want scoring, they want excitement.....this would be end to end action!

You need to have offsides son or else the game would be out of control. I can see why they would like to remove the red line so there won't be as many 2 line passes.

First up.....I can guarantee I am not your "son", in fact it would be the other way around no doubt.
Second, try playing with no offsides in a an nhl video game. It works fine. You just have to be more carefull on defense, and the game is more tense all the way thru because the threat of scoring is always there.
No 2 line passes and no redline = exciting hockey.

no offsides would just result in a larger amount of players clogging up the neutral zone trying to not let the other team from entering their own zone. it would just make the game more defensive and slower paced rather than promote mad rushes and pure scoring. Why would you have cherry pickers around the opposing net while leaving your own net pretty much unguarded?

I would SO totally kick ass in a NHL game with no offisides. Just love goal sucking.

I disagree, clogging the neutral zone can lead to easy scores, you have to balance you defense with no offsides. There would be way less dump and chase, (boring) More great plays, hitting, passing and skating moves.

Yep... I always thought BY FAR that Kemp had the best 'in-game' dunks of all-time. Although the Jordan over Ewing is up there

Iverson's play on Cotton Camby was spectacular...but some of his other highlights....um...ball hog. As cool as they looked.

I guess I'm old. To me, old school NBA is Erving, Wilkins, Gervin, Jabbar, Murphy, Bird.
I like AI, but to call him old school?
