My Player(MP)
-Add All Star Weekend (Have different people in it every year)
-You Should Choose if you wanna be a Sixth Man or Starter or Where ever the team need you
- Have the Play Roles and Numbers the Same because Jamal Crawford Starts even thought he a Sixth Man
- There should be a Team Role with 3 Different Roles for You so you Decision for a Franchise can be Bigger like You start of as a Rookie Then if your Team Popularity goes up you can become a Co-Captain Then a Captain/Team Leader so You can become a big voice in the Franchise like Trading How Kobe is with the Lakers (Why Shaq Left)
-With The Team Role when you become Co-Captain you can have a Yes or No in Trades(Because they will make Bad trades they can destroy your team) and When You Become Leader you can Tell Them Who to Trade and To trade for (and they will Actually DO IT !)
-Add More Hair, Skin Color and Tats(Arm Sleeves) and Neck Tats.
-Pick Between Uniform Fit Because Lebron and Amar'e Uniform are Fit while Kobe and Ron are Baggy
-Keep the Trading easy when you start
-Keep No Contracts because you can pick every year where you wanna go or Stay
-Fix The Generate Rookie because they all Suck. some should have 75-77 overall not 68
-Fix Team Chemistry because it goes down Fast and it should be mostly based on how you answer in the press Room. Have some players Know there Role and not make everyone want to become a starter. It Eff's Up your Team Chemistry.
-Fix Myplayer Minutes because if im on the knicks and Melo, Amar'e and MyPlayer Should be play 35 minutes each not they play 35 and i play 41.
-In The Draft You Should be Pick to a Team that Needs You.

^Nice list. It could also apply to association and season modes.

In My Player if you have a veteran guy on your team make it that we can learn from them and some of our attributes might go up.

I request a slight (key word slight) increase in the opportunity to have certain players pull off 360 layups. It's clearly still a rare and special move, but it does seem to be picking up the littlest of steam. Whereas it seemed as though Vince Carter was almost alone in pulling this move off in the mid-2000's, off the top of my head I recall Blake Griffin, J.R. Smith, and Nick Young pulling it off on numerous occasions this season. Perhaps it could be a part of their layup package.



This Nick Young example is insane, but as many of you know, he had more "routine" 360 layups as well.




Again, I know it's in 2K11 (though I'm unsure which package - I had 2000 Michael Finley pull it off, that's it) but I think some players may warrant the inclusion of such a layup in their own package. It's a play that's slowly becoming more common.

I'd also suggest Blake Griffin and JaVale McGee dunk packages.

^Could be a "fancy layup" tendency.

I’m Italian, my English is not perfect but here’s a pretty detailed list of what, I think, must be improved even if NBA 2K11 is such a great game

VISUALS
> Improve shoes definition and detail
> Fix the calf sleeve/socks glitch
> Player models:
- make them less bulky, most of players are way too big (for example Joe Johnson and Harden)
- some player have little definition on their muscle, this does not happen in the game
- players like Durant, A. Randolph, maybe J. McGee are very skinny, their models are too thick
- add the wingspan feature
- make some other parts of the body customizable (shoulders, calves, bottom, thighs)
> Make jerseys and shorts less baggy, most of the jerseys in the last few years fit tightly, shorts are also a bit too long
> The crowd should react in a more realistic way: it should explode with a big three or go crazy when a buzzer-beater is hit


GAMEPLAY

FASTBREAKS
Most of the time when you’re running a fastbreak, for example a 3 on 2, the wings cut to the basket when they shouldn’t and spot behind the three point line when they should cut. Focus on this aspect, for example make shooters like K. Korver, A. Morrow stop behind the 3pt line and slashers like Maggette, R. Brewer cut aggressively to the hoop.
Introduce also that big men that run the floor well like Howard should out-run other centers and cut in order to try to take deep post position.
Moreover players at full speed are easily blocked by a bumping animation when they are going to the hoop: more fouls should occur

OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING
make great offensive rebounders crash the boards on the offensive side more often, sometimes I see players like Love or T. Thomas simply stand still watching opponents bring down the rebounds. In addition I think that there should be more long rebounds.

PLAYER MOVEMENT AND INTERACTIONS:
- re-introduce the walk-up and add some sort of jogging up and down the court to reproduce a point guard that wants his team to slow the tempo.
- Improve the fact that the ball should move around the court a lot faster than players, so it would be harder to reach out to open shooters and it would punish defenses that try to clog the paint or double-team dominant post players. Maybe the court should be a bit bigger.
- Talking of double-team in the post, when this happens off-ball players should not stand still or go at the player with the ball but do what I said before about the fastbreaks, especially bigs that are usually left open (I’m thinking about players like Dampier, Varejao, D. Jordan, Biedrins, T. Chandler ) should be found around the hoop to make the defense rotate properly and leave maybe a player open on the perimeter.
- Shooters should spot up properly: too many times players shoot with their feet on the three-point line or they shoot three or four feet behind it.
- Remove the bumping on the perimeter, too many times the defender magically cuts off the drive with super-sliding ability, sometimes a blocking/reaching foul could be called. Moreover bigs are too effective guarding quick guards, they should easily blow by them.

GAME SPEED
Introduce the ‘player speed’ feature of the association also in quick games, my player games and other modes.

A.I.
A big part of the NBA (a season is 82-game long) is the fact that defensive intensity should not be equal in every possession, every game, every part of the season. Because of that I think a feature that represents that should be included (it was present maybe in Live 07): the cpu must not always apply the same pressure, rotate aggressively and so on, players should be a bit lazy at certain times of season and step up their effort during big games and play-offs.

POST
Make post moves like turn-around Js quicker for dynamic post players like Melo or others

MISCELLANOUS
- Let us play custom music in the menus even if the soundtrack is outstanding
- Maintain rosters’ customization such as accessories, sigs ecc.. along with weekly roster updates
- The playbooks should be attached to a certain player not to a certain position
- Introduce the possibility to turn off injuries for quick games so we can play with full rosters


I have surely forgotten something, maybe I will edit the post...

[JimboJolley20]

Has anyone ever seen a foul on that animation where a player gets a jumper heavily contested and he falls down? What's the point of that animation if no fouls are called for it? Defenders shouldn't be allowed to just close out as hard as they want without risking a personal.

My Player

- Let your player start off with a better rating . If your play style is athletic you should at least start off with 89-90 speed and 70-75 vertical for point gaurds and 80-85 speed and 78- 82 shooting guard or small forward. Reason why is because when you start off with less your player doesn't feel athletic enough when you play ( like if you play with a 3 point specialist gaurd or foward and you start off with 65 3 point rating which is basicly not good enough). I think they should give us a better head start on what we want our players to play like

- let our players sign an endorsement deal with other brands instead. I get
the jordan theme but thats behind us and its time for something new. Instead of shoes that make you shoot better and react beter( defensive and offensive awareness) how about shoes that make you jump higher or run faster or shoes that make you less like to get an ankle injury! That sounds realistic. Speaking of the topic how abut when you get a shoulder injury the team trainer tells you to wear a shoulder pad if you want to play through the injury or ankle wraps if if you sprain your ankle. Shoes shouldn't
be the only thing that increases your duribility (under shirts, compression shorts, knee pads elbow pads etc
- Drills shouldn't be the only way to become a better shooter you can practice and still become a better shooter, but there should be a diffence in progression between the two.
- Let our player shoot around before games which shoot temporarilly make our pecentage better and should show a diffence in gamelplay if you do it and dont
- Make it so we're able of a voice for your player intead of one voice. Sometimes I want to make a mean looking bigman but i cant because the voice will mess it up . More deeper voices to choose from!!!!
- When you mess up team chemestry teamates it show more often in press conferences gameplay . Reporters should talk to you about the team chemestry in the press and in games teamates should almost never pass you the ball no matter how you much you call for it. AND want the fans to boo me when I mess up the chemstry and the franchise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Acecessories

- better looking accessories . Braces that are actually bulky ( like what , Chris Bosh, Andrew Bynum, Eric Dampier, and Kendrick Perkins wear). Longer knee sleeves like what Dwayne Wade, Paul Pierce and Rudy Gay wear. Like someone posted earlier make possible to wear two accessories at once ( like wear a shooting sleeve and an elbo pad at the same time like Jeff Green used to do in Oklahoma or wear long socks and a knee pad like Udonis Haslem, Kyle Korver or Mike Miller). Or shooting sleeves and wristbands like almost every body does. Also we should be able to wear goggles like Kareem and shades like Amare Stoudemire ,Chris Douglas Roberts, and Kirk Hinrich . Calf sleeves with the padding on it not just the sleeve. So does the knee pads, elbo pads and arm sleeves. If these things didn't have the protective pades on them most playes would be injured when they hit the floor. More elbow pad lengths ( the medium length one what David West and Brook Lopez wear) Finger sleeves not just straps - Like Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett, and Demarcus Cousins.

-More varieties/lengths of elbow pads, knee pads, arm sleeves and alkle wraps
- Put more shoe brands in like Under Amour and And one
- Add more shoes for each brand not just 6-7 for each there are alot more shoes than that

Presentation

- More loud crowds at special games and playoff games. This is the most popular topic on this thread and not unrealistic at all so 2k needs to make it happen. I want to hear crowds that are boisterous in certain arenas. Like in Oklahoma,crowds are very loud and you have to turn your volume down lower than usual when their about to play. More crowds that are into it and dislike certain teams. Like in Boston when either the Lakers or Heat come to town the crowd is more pumped up (any rival teams). More boo's when the rival team's players or best players score or when a referee makes a call they dont like. I would also like to see signs in the crowd that may say something like '' Rose for Mvp '' or '' The King'' for LeBron or '' _____ sucks" . Things like that give the games a realistic feeling too it

- Cutscenes of players walking towards the scorers table, players drinking gatorade on the bench, bench players with towels on their heads.

- Cutscenes of traing coaches aiding injured players on the court or players streching on the side lines

- Maybe show commentators a little bit or Doris Burke reporting
-Show players getting interview at half time by Doris Burke , you dont have to go all the way and show them taking but it would be great

- Please let teams say their pregame chants in addition to them jumping in their huddles

Lastly, EJECTIONS, EJECTIONS AND MORE EJECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
