Re: **Official NBA 2k18 Wish List Thread**

Game speed NEEDS to be adjusted. I feel like 2k17 took away the way basketball is supposed to flow. Basketball can be a VERY fast-paced sport, & I feel like it's a little difficult to execute certain moves & fast breaks because of the lack of speed. I really do not see dominance when it comes to speed between different players. Speed of passing, speed of dribbling. I'm still seeing floaty passes Speed also goes hand & hand with space, which 2k, I always felt had an issue getting right. Those are two main things that can dramatically change the gameplay for the best. PLEASE FIX

More common flagrant fouls, flagrant 2 fouls, technical fouls and ejections.

We need tendencies for this stuff so that guys like DeMarcus Cousins will be picking up tons of techs and flagrants

Things like this, I feel are unnecessary. As they are out of the users hands (which is us). I could see this getting very annoying.

Re: **Official NBA 2k18 Wish List Thread**

it would be cool for animation and game speed/game pace/flow tweaked.
2k18 should handle like its cover guy and center's should be able to dominate in the paint. shout out to those gettin' nasty with the post game.

Though paint play are now obsolete, thanks to Kerr and the home grown Warriors.

KD is one of the most efficient post scorers in the league. DeRozan was up there at one point too (PPP).

Paint game hasn't died it's just evolved.

Re: **Official NBA 2k18 Wish List Thread**

Anybody else think 2K needs to focus on making better signatures for players?

Like certain players have worse animations than other players? Paul George and Lebron handle awfully for me (they're fine just moving, but their dribble animations are awful).

2K needs to balance signatures. Lebron isn't a good fancy dribbler but you'll see in real life he's got a strong spin move. Paul George is also very comfortable putting the ball on the floor and dribbling a bit. Paul George is also crazy smooth in real life, but in 2K he's stiff as hell.

Wish list:

Used feet and inches for wingspan in the Body option in create player / roster / draft class. I can't see how a 50 or 25 or 100 translates to actual feet and inches.

I know I post this a lot, but I don't care. I'm going to continue to express this until changes are made ....

PLEASE FOCUS ON MAKING CREATED PLAYERS LOOK MORE LIFELIKE AND MORE NOTICABLE FROM FAR DISTANCES. Aside from the lack of body types, the faces are just so blurry/muddy & all the facial expressions are the same (which is why it's really hard to make players standout from one another)

The face photo import from WWE 2k, and the ability to choose different body types & facial expressions, would change things dramatically in this regard

A 50 wingspan is equal to 4 inches longer than the players height and it goes by increments of 5, so a 45 would be 3 inches longer and a 55 would be 5 inches longer

A era based filters for classic teams. Imagine running a my league mode with 90s vhs filters on the screen?

Re: **Official NBA 2k18 Wish List Thread**

1. I am begging you, please give us the option to turn off the star icons under the players. I'm not sure why this was taken out for 2K17 but it clutters up the screen and breaks immersion constantly, every single possession.

2. Blacktop mode had some nice upgrades in 2K17. I'd like to see 2-3 more locations with an indoor location. Perhaps an empty gym with a lot of character to it. Live 18 really nails this stuff and imo it makes the game a lot more immersive and fun. Additionally it'd be cool to see guys wearing their authentic gear rather than generic white and black tees, something else that Live is tackling pretty well. And can we get some different names besides "Ringers" and "Ballers?" I've never heard anyone call themselves the Ringers.

3. You gotta fix the gym and player ambience audio, it never triggers properly in practice modes or in MyCareer practices. It's super weird to be playing in a totally silent gym with just the ball bouncing and the occasional "AEHGGHGH!" contact yell that's been in this game for literally a decade. The 2KU demo last year had such phenomenal sound design and it all went to waste. Total waste of your time and money if that stuff never triggers.

4. A handful of the dunk animations aren't as smooth as the majority and can look jarring. I'd be ok with seeing 10 less dunks overall if you can remove the 10 or so immersion-breaking dunks.

5. The ballhandling responsiveness still isn't there. I'm not sure what the issue is but input lag remains a huge dealbreaker for me in terms of putting hours upon hours into this game or just picking up and playing for an hour here and there before moving on to FIFA.

6. Player movement off-ball is better but needs that next level of refinement.

7. Subbing on the fly and even in timeouts is remarkably convoluted. Just let us hit a single button to bring up the lineup in the game, then scroll *up and down* (no diagonals ffs!) and push the left or right d-pad buttons to sub in another player, with bumpers triggering the various pre-determined lineups like starters, bench, tall, 3-point, etc.

8. End-game highlight reel camera work is all over the place in the worst way. Highlights always end too early before the play is finished. Camera cuts and angles are seizure-inducing. These problems weren't around to this degree 5 years ago. No clue what the deal is but it's one of the best parts of the experience and it's pretty busted atm.

A real save ball system.

Momentum on passing lane steals that allows for easy fast breaks.

Speed boosting should not be locked to a number. Every guard in the pros can dribble fast, just make weaker guys less effective and have less ball security.

More big men dunking. I don't want Marc Gasol tapping in anymore lobs. He can dunk the ball.

Do not make me go for a tip-in if I just pressed the normal rebound button and make tip dunks more successful. At least once a game somebody completely whiffs on a tip dunk and misses the whole ball. I've only seen a few successful outside of cpu players.

Let us have the same control as cpu players. Speaking of tip dunks, the cpu can tip dunk their own shots, meanwhile after a shot animation my player is frozen and can't even go for his own rebound, let alone a flashy dunk in.

Less floaty passes. I hate when I do a skip pass, especially with guys like LeBron who have mastered them, but the shot gets contested because instead of zipping it to the open man he lobbed it like a flower girl.

Less sticky defense. I want every big man that dares switch on to me in the P&R to be sacrificed to the ankle gods. Have you seen centers get switched onto Kyrie or Steph? It's a massacre 97% of the time.

Idk about you guys but getting hot does nothing for my players. I want some guys to be able to rattle off crazy, one-man runs when they get hot. I shouldn't miss a really good release, wide open on fire.

Lastly, some dust-ups. I wanna see guys who are always getting techs to get some. If I play a season I want Draymond to get suspended or Boogie to have some ejections. No crazy violence, but I think a little shoving or jawing, especially in big games would liven it up. I remenber in 2k15 where you could push Dwight Howard for hard fouling your guy.

Everything else is probably already in this thread 85 times. Better CAPs, tattoos, body types, announcers with some real emotion, etc.

This CAPS system from Top Spin 4. Game published by 2K in 2011. Check out 10:34 in particular for body types.
