NBA 2k10 Wishlist

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

I hope that they address the 100% accurate passing, Passes do Fly over players heads in real life especially from guys that are not good passers, Tired of seeing 70 foot passes that are right on the button all the time, and not just from out of bounds plays. Also dribble the ball off someones foot, its incredible how people dribble all day in the paint but never lose they dribble..

I've seen more bad passes in the game with certain slider adjustments and player ratings changes. Yet, you're right they do need to add more errant passes in the game especially when it comes to big men, passing while in the air, passing out of double-teams and throwing fancier passes.

My wishlist:

- Better/realistic defensive rotations on the perimeter and better ball rotation by the A.I.

- Fronting in the post being brought back, but with proper defensive spacing and rotations. It occurs on occassion in NBA 2K9, but isn't fully implemented or with an option in the double-team/pressure options meu. Also, the ball needs to be reversed on the perimeter to find the post-up man.


"Fronting the post. We front the post when the ball is below the foul line extended and the offensive player is on the block (player 5). If the ball goes above the foul line extended then we three quarter the post with an arm and leg. Remember you should have weak side help against any lob pass.

If the offensive player goes off the block then we play behind the post."


- More off-ball and reach-in fouls, while of course allowing us change the degree with which it is called (w/ sliders) or turn them off if someone doesn't like them being called.

- More signature moves and packages in the post-game, while making mismatches easier to exploit (I should be able to back-down Luke Walton with Drew Gooden).

- Rebounding system needs to be tweaked (no more suction rebounds) and made more physical. Also, add tap-backs and tip-dunks off a running start (very hard) and under the basket (bit easier).

- No more white/white and black/black generic shoes. Either bring in more licensed shoe companies (And-1, Converse, Reebok, Protege, Pony, etc.) or make your own fictionalized company and shoes. Also, add alot more choices with the three brands already available, instead of 5 different shoes per brand give us 15 - 30.


- More player roles in general and for association. Player roles need to be expanded to include things like; team captain, defensive stopper, 2nd scoring option, rebounder, "energy'' player, shooter, etc. It would allow us to assign players the real-life "assignments" and add depth to association and team-building.


- Team specific defensive/offensive principles and deeper playbooks and offensive sets. The Utah Jazz should play entirely different then the Phoenix Suns on offense. While, conversely defensively teams like the Spurs and Cavaliers should share many defensive traits and philosphies in-game. Figure out away to "borrow" elements of Live's touted playcalling system.


- More tendencies and ratings. Adding tendencies for spot-up shooting, looks to pass, and takes charges would add in re-creating guys like Brent Barry/Roger Mason (spot-up), Chris Paul and Deron Williams (could fix issue with APG in association being tied into Pass rating) and Anderson Varejao/Derek Fisher. Ratings for help-defense/off-ball defense, court-vision (should tie into Off. Awareness, but doesn't) and current "new" ratings actually having an affect on overall ratings.


- Adding possible DLC throughout the long NBA season. Be it actually new animations, shoes, team court/uniform updates and more.

I'll be back with more.................

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

I would like to see more variation on the team up, how about Team Up Street where you can play 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and team up practice.

I guess I would just like the see the team up expanded.
For instance:

Team Up Leagues (with the limitation that you can only be in ONE)
Full team shoot around before the game with the player that you selected
Custom Players (with rectriction - no 7' PGs) imported for Team up with career stat tracking, and even custom Teams - You can create a team with your own colors, and uniforms and it would be all custom players (other users)
User Player Lock, where if your player subs out you watch from the bench.
And a spectator mode, where you can watch from a seat the you can choose. This would probably have a limit until the get good servers.

Just do more with the team up. Think outside the box.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

I wish I'd be able to snag a defensive rebound and throw an outlet pass to my point guard on the run. It feels that I can hit any other position on the run and that helps create fast break opportunities. However, the point guard seems programmed to run back toward the ball no matter what, partially stunting any kind of running opportunity through my floor leader.

I like that the point guard does not leave my big men hanging but I think there should be a happy medium. If I'm looking to complete a direct lead pass to my point guard, I wish the game would recognize and yield a seamless transition. It's not a deal breaker, but the slight stoppage or necessitated acceleration of a point guard catching an outlet pass somewhat hinders the fast break game.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

I have many ideas of improvements but I will concentrate on the important ones. The main problems with the games are player personalization, team personalization, options, player to court interactions, and how game modes are used. I will only describe player personalization, team personalization, and game modes.
Players
1. Passing and bounding cold be improved if they are controlled by tendencies; there are many players who are good passers but do not pass often. There is no need for a rebounding attribute because jumping, quickness, speed, and hustle are what makes a rebound; to determine how good a rebounder is there should be a off reb tendency, def reb tendency, and a loose ball reb tendency.
2. Players score many ways but the ratings and tendencies do not show that. Many smaller players shoot floaters, some players have strong pull up jumpers, and post moves must be expanded. To improve the difference between star players and average players tendencies for set shooting, contested jumpers, floaters, pull up jumpers, lay ups, if they prefer going left or right, and drawing fouls. Also attributes for shooting with contact, clutch shooting, and toughness.
3. To aid overall gameplay awareness should be changed to off and def court vision or reflect it.
4. Finally defense seriously needs improvement. Shot blocking is easy, contesting shots is hard, tipping the ball is random, and post defense is limited.
Team
1. Teams have different distributers in the NBA but this is not reflected in the game because the point guard always has the assists in computer offences. This could be changed by presetting your own ball handler and every team running their own plays. Improve the execution of the plays, make players get to their spots quicker.
2.

3. Team defense is bad. Team defenses should be limited but more personal to each team, better defenses should protect the paint better than weak defenses, defenses need to rotate to open jump shooters instead of coving their man, and when fronting a player in the post the other post defender rotates to the man if there is an entry pass.

4. Teams should have tendency sliders and team ratings should be different. The 2k9 sliders are okay, but splitting off and def rebounding is necessary, team hustle, and fast break defense. Also teams don’t foul enough.


Game Modes
1. The street basketball thing could go if the in association training modes are used in practice.

2. Association needs these upgrades:
a) Upgrade the trading logic of the game.
b) Add more player personalities so stars like Manu Ginobli and Jason Terry will accept coming off the bench.
c) Add more player roles.
d) There should be an all-star weekend in the season with the three point contest, dunk contest, skills contest and horse.
e) A weekly or monthly show like college hoops had would be a plus.
f) Team uniforms could be more customizable including the uniform, shoes, and accessories.
g) Half time could have more to it.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

redram. Just on your comment on there is no need for a rebounding attribute? Are you serious? Have you ever rebounded before. Just being able to jump and catch doesn't make you a good rebounder. It helps but there is a lot more to it. Timing, boxing out, strength, just being comfortable, not getting intimidated. Rebounding is a skill. Some people are natural at it and others it takes training. But i do believe there definately needs to be an attribute for it.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

Expanding the Creation Zone would be nice, I would love to see the following as new game modes

Create-An-Arena (where you could fully customize your very own NBA Arena, from Jumbotrons, to fan seating, and even specific arena music/noises)

Create-A-Coach (where you could fully create your very own NBA Head coach, give him all kinds of attire, and tons of looks)

Create-A-Jersey (A mode that would let you create or edit a Jersey)

Better interactive sidelines, I wanna see players hustling and diving over the scorers table, diving onto their team or opponents bench or even falling into the cheerleaders or cameramen. (I mean it even happens a lot in real life)

The court floor is still a little too small, they need to extend the size of the team benches, and there needs to be a few more rows behind them and more court-side seats.



It'd also be nice to see reserves in Association mode wearing a suit seating with their team bench. Would definitely bring a whole new level of detail to the game.

Player collision needs more improvement as well

A vastly improved simulation stats engine, I'd like to see much deeper stats for in-game play in association mode, stuff like "Miami heat are 10-2 when leading at halftime this season" but don't show the same ones too much....

Better looking stat tables and overlays when displaying stats, they've been looking similar for years now, it's time to bring them an HD image to them.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

a small thing. Replays. There seems to be no replays for buzzer beaters. Or any commentary really either. As we know irl buzzer beaters are probably the most replayed. I always sit there with the instant replay them. Basically when i play a game i would like it to have the same production as a televised game of the nba. Replays, commentary, stats, pre game, post game interviews/ highlights. It'd be cool if there were highlights from previous games before the game. Etc etc

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

Jump passing needs to be fixed. Everyone can jump pass with very little penalty. This does not reward good defense.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

I sure hope 2k10 appears on the PC with a GAMES for Windows sticker.

I have a 360 controller hooked up to my PC and I'd rather play 2k on that.

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

Fix the minor glitches when playing against user VIP profiles.....


1)Nearly 10 times a game, the VIP controlled PG will simpl stand and dribble out the clock, or stand and dribble until the clock is nearly run out and then take a standing shot with a man right in their face

2)The 'volleyball' glitch...Happens a few times a game where two players rapidly pass the ball back and forth to one another a dozen times or so....

Also, when playing with player lock on, CPU controlled team members are not aggressive enough trying to take people off the dribble...Using the 'shoot' button that tells your CPU guy to try to score should result in either a jumper, a move to then take a jumper, or a move to dribble to the hole for the shot.


Of course this shoul dbe base off of the individual player tendencies..So Kobe is going to do something different than Luke Walton...

[youvalss]

Re: NBA 2k10 Wishlist

There's this thing that should be fixed, though I don't think it's a glitch. Many times I take a timeout, then back to the game, play one posession - and then the CPU takes a timeout (after only 1 posession). I'm not talking about a late-game situation, but just a regular situation, in the middle of the game, for no reason.

Along with this, in the Game Track, there could be more position related replays. Now you can only see shots, but if I am putting together a reel and I am a PG, I want some of my steals, assists and other key plays. For big men, how about showing blocks or other key defensive plays? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
<o></o>
In online league games, how about automatically uploading the Top 3 Plays instead of the image of the POTG?<o></o>
<o></o>
And speaking of online leagues, fix it. Currently if I reset games al the stats and videos are still the rendering the league useless. And a league that I deleted still shows up in "My Leagues"<o></o>
<o></o>
For Team Up:<o></o>
This is the mode that I would link to see the most focus on. How about a "2K Squads" feature? People can form teams, sort of like Clubs in NBA Jive 09. Then there would be "Squad Tools" where there would be different mini modes:<o></o>
<o></o>
Locker Room - Home for your 2K Squad<o></o>
Team Practice - Free practice with or without defense to run plays or work on defensive sets (mics enabled)<o></o>
Film Room - Teammates can gather in a "Virtual Locker Room" and view and discuss replays or entire games. There could be an option to go into this mode right after a team up game. "Go To Film Room? Yes or No. <o></o>
Shoot Around - gather with your team and just shoot with your assigned player (could be an option in Team Practice.)<o></o>
Squad Drills - Fast Breaks, rebounding, Iso Motion (running these drills can boost your Teammate grade and certain attributes for the next game) <o></o>
<o></o>
Menu Structure:<o></o>
<o></o>

• 2K Squad Locker Room<o></o>
  • Squad Arena<o></o>
    • Create Squad Game<o></o>
