NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

My list is pretty simple. I'd really like to see more detail in the game..

1. Full TNT broadcast. NBA Live has the ESPN rights, so why cant 2k have TNT? Im tired of Clark Kellogg and Steve Kerr. Get Marv, Reggie, and C Webb as the broadcast team with Ernie, Shaq, Kenny, and Chuck doing pre-game and halftime shows.

2. Make acceleration matter. We've all seen LeBron's acceleration down the court on a fast break numerous times. In 2k, its like everyone is the same speed.

3. Little details. Players jerseys seem wayyy too loose. Players playing with mouthguards. More detailed arena noise for each arena. The rim needs alot more attention and the ball going through the net needs attention too. Just alot of things you see in real life that could make the game better for sim players.

4. New lighting. The colors of some teams jerseys just seem way off. Ex. Lakers purple, Cavs dark blue. Along with that, more details in players bodies and faces. LeBrons face was better in 2k14 than 2k15. There are many more players that need some attention.

5. Last but not least....FIX THE ONLINE SERVERS!

It just seems like 2k is so focused on MyPlayer that they have gotten away from the great details that used to be in the game. For me its something different, but I'm a "GM sim" guy. I pay attention to details. I'm pry being too picky but its just my opinion.

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Hopefully going to jump to the Next Gen (PS4) system this Christmas!
That said, here's what I'm hoping for 2K16:

* Inclusion of D-League & Euro League for MyGM! Incorporate generated Draft Classes into this. Whoever's not drafted, let them play Euro. Gain experience and sign them when needed.

* More options for MyGM! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I love this mode (from what I've seen on YouTube)! More options, more bells & whistles. Can we get more than 80 years? Incorporate billboards/media hype to woo big name free agents or retain future superstars on the roster.

* Create story lines! Let us generate team rivalries and get the fan base involved. Maybe we can see rivalry signage in the arena stands? Let the media component in game hype this up. (Radio, print, twitter feeds)

* Press conferences in MyGM. Please. Maybe a post game interview with players in MyGM mode.

* Different announce teams. Clark Kellogg and the crew are getting stale.

* Include media outlets. Examples, radio spots, newspapers, webpages.

* More accessories, hair styles, and tattoos for generated draft classes. More customizable options for this. Attitudes, media relationships, fan acceptance just to name a few!

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

They need to add a lot more one handed passes. Meaning, a guy picks his dribble up and passes the ball with the same one hand.


There's so many times when they do two-handed passes in such odd situations, and just kills the flow of the offense.

Bring back custom soundtracks/sounds for PS4 and Xbox1.

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Please have Clark and whom ever else talk about the Team that wins the Champion the very next season and there history and how they r doing that next year all year. If they play the Team they played in the finals in the season they should note that to. Even go in depth about how many rings a Star may have or were they have him rated in his career. This should b for all players in game and players that have won titles or havent yet or if that player will ever get one. Or he is on his way out should he retiré after this season or that injury has made him lose a step and GM's and players see that. He may call it quits this early in his young career. And for older players they retire faster if they suffer a bad enough injury.I know Career-ending injuries r in game but they need to tie these other things in and have them go together.

Ability to play on ball defense without the need for defense assistance or auto shot contest

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Overall game play
- Expand the court! the court is clogged no matter how many shooters you put on the court because the court is too small. Everyone can help and recover with no problems no matter what their speed and quickness are.

- Speed up the passes, this goes along with expanding the court as well. Too often I'll have someone open in the corner and I'll do this stupid slow jump pass which gives the defender all the time in the world to recover. This also affect cutting plays due to the fact someone will be cutting and i'll throw them a little float pass instead of a hard chest pass so instead of them being able to go straight up for an easy lay-up they allow the defense to come and contest it.

- Revamp how we lose the ball. This whole bobble the ball for 5 seconds thing. I understand what they are trying to do but it's just implemented horribly. There's nothing worse than having 15 secs left in a game you throw a guy whose WIDE open under the basket and he just fumbles the ball and loses it or you throw an outlet and the guy catches it forgets how to dribble and goes out of bounds. Same goes for dribbling it off someones leg, or having a loose ball magnetize to the CPU and my players standing right over the ball but can't pick it up.

- Take out the hard fouls, Once again I understand what they were trying to do but it's absolutely frustrating to see a player get wrapped up around his shoulders and thrown to the ground and nothing is called or 2 hand pushed when trying to make a lay-up and nothing. Speaking of fouls, If you hold up on the RS you should have a less chance of being called for a foul than if you go for the block. RS could be go for vertically

- Players get knocked down way to easily on defense when someone is driving which leads to an uncontested lay-up.

- For shooting, The corner 3 should be a higher % shot than any other 3. Wide open shooting should be brought down a bit, you still get situations where Tony Allen/Goatbrook/Thabo/Roberson kill me from deep because I set my defense to sag off them and likewise I've had Rudy Gobert, Roy Hibbert etc hit 3's just because they were wide open. Mid-range is considered the least efficient shot in the NBA yet there's no real penalty for forcing someone off the 3-pt line because alot of moving midrange are still pretty high.

- Help defense should be much faster. Even if it's set to limit perimeter shots that doesn't mean allow someone to waltz down the lane for an uncontested lay-up. A big should at least rotate over to contest that lay-up.

- Improve how plays are run and offball screen! Players never really their man into screens, they just slowly jog around them so that when they get to the end of the play they aren't really open and it's a quick and easy close out. They should be running around the screens once the play is called. Cut plays rarely work because players don't make hard cuts so their defender just sticks with them and either knocks the pass away or contest the lay-up.

MyGM

- Give MyGM the same flexibility that MyLeague has. The slider to lower player progression, deal with morale and chemistry and draft quality. Players progress way to fast in that mode and within 5-6 years everyone is practically a Steph Curry sharp shooter, bigs are all great rebounders and post defenders and most players at least make it to an 80 rating in their prime.

Things that could happen with Myleague sliders

- Make the ambitions rating matter more, there's no reason for D-wade to go to Philly, Lebron to Charlotte, Durant to the Magic when all of these guys have 75+ rating in play for winner.

- Make team building harder and smarter, I got Anthony Davis for Larry Sanders and two first round picks without even using a pitch. I could get Wiggins, Parker, Smart for practically nothing. Make young players mean more for these teams. Don't have them draft a PG with the 3rd pick when they have John Wall or a C when they have Andre Drummond. Way too often I see teams still signing 3 point guards to 7M+ and no bigs.

- FA is still busted, RFA never get matched. No reason Anthony Davis, Brad Beal, Jimmy Buckets should ever leave their team. Yet it happens on the consistent basis. I can still sign any player no matter what as long as I have money. Would love a system like NCAA football had where you'd meet with a FA see what their needs and wants are and you have to make pitches to them(Ex. Reggie Jackson wants to be a star, play 33+ mins and is okay not playing for a winner but wants to get paid in a midsize market. Coach doesn't matter to him). Young guys need to get paid, no reason Brad Beal should be had for 7.5M, Jimmy Butler for 8M. Good young guys should get near maxs or at least double figures.

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Maybe it's too late, but would be really nice if players lost accessories. Like headbands get thrown to the floor and players bent down to pick them up. Forearm bands slide down to the wrist and players pull them back up.

I guess asking for a player to loose a shoe (once in a long while) is too much...?

Were we supposed to get news today?

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

First off. Great game. I've been out of the basketball video games since '12. And great graphics - I say that as I am a first generation gamer - aka Double Dribble. So for me, to see a game like this, it's come A LONG WAY.

I play primarily MyGM.

- Shot/Touch (Tendencies)
I would like a way to improve tendencies (shot/touch) of players during the MyGM. Injuries and player improve changes and would like to feature certain player(s) more or less as they grow. e.g. as Andrew Wiggins progresses I'd liked to be able to see him take 18-20 shots per game.

- Better Defense
The ability to play better defense. I'd like to see ways to get more blocks and more rebounds as well. Perhaps advanced analytics like Reb% and Blk% would help for gathering say 25% of DREB and blocking 10.6% contested shots.

- Scouts/Coaches/Advising (Toggle On/Off)
Unless I've missed this - I'd rather not have to deal with the extra time of zooming to someone saying I need to alter my practices, etc. The Team Chemistry is at the bottom - any such indicators should also be there and I could freely enter into 'training' or 'practice' to address those changes I see at the bottom. As they dip, I can go into training or practice or whatever and make the necessary changes. Just don't have all that time to go through button mashing screens that are so slow (and not necessary).

- Improved Auto-Generated Draft Classes
Skills and tendencies seem to be really messed up between positions. I'd take a range of current players by position by year (Drafted). Figure out frequencies and ranged of those ratings and then put a generator to try to spit out some similar players. The "Range" helps avoid being 3 pt shooting 7'2" 300 guys and slow point guards. Slightly regress them, randomize the potential - and voila.

I have much more to add to this - but don't want to infringe on your dev work.

Sidenote:
Definitely prefer where games are NOT online dependent. I may fit into the 'old' crowd of actually having a friend come over to play is just fine. The servers, the lag, etc.

Otherwise, looking forward to the next game already. Have enjoyed this one immensely.

P.S. Maybe College Basketball too! Would love that.

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Another would be "% of shots taken" as you can't change "shoot" and "touch" after your season has started (MyGM) just right alongside the minutes. Could be out of 100%. Or could be a 'rating' where if you have 5 guys rated 90, 75, 70, 80, 50. It would try to favor the 90 the most, but while he's on the bench the 80 would slightly receive more touches/shots and so on. I think GIVEN all the annoying popups on strategy ("we're playing DeMarcus Cousins" "We're playing LeBron James") there should definitely be something for team strategy of shots taken. You could have a guy rated 99's in all shot categories (As he progressed) but still couldn't average more than 15 ppg unless you play 4 other Nerlens Noel's with him so he gets some shots.

It's tough when you have to try to trade away guys who are 'ball hogs' with so-so shooting skills so your talented shooters can get more shots.

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

- Would like to see an animation that allows big men to protect the ball when coming down with the rebound. As it stands now when you come down with a rebound as a big as soon as someone spams the steal button the ball is getting ripped.

- Would also like to see a few post turn-around dunk packages. If I am able to aggressively back down someone in the post to a point where my head is literally beneath the rim without drawing a double team I should be able to dunk all over that player, sort of like shaq in this vid.

Re: NBA 2K16 Wishlist Thread

Where you can automate defense because some users can't play defense and can use help like myself.
