Also how about when guys shot free throws (make or miss) all players (not just 2 or 1) fist pound/5 the player at the free throw line like they do in real life. Also after Dwyane Wade goes up for a dunk/dunks on somebody and he gets fouled (only if he makes and there is a foul) he does the cabbage patch dance. As well as LeBron James if he dunks/dunks on somebody and gets fouled he flexes his muscles towards the crowd, while yelling.

1.) Not all players walk over to give their teammate a fist pound at the line (make or miss) in real life.
2.) Wade cabbage patched ONE time in 96 games played (playoffs included). It's not something as signature as his pregame rim pull-ups.
3.) LeBron does flex his muscles towards the crowd (or whichever way he's facing post-dunk). The yell would be nice, but that sounds like something for the wishlist thread here.

It would be nice if players wear towels,warmups, team shooting shirt, team jacket or even in a suit if they are injured while sitting on the bench. I know injured players in a suit is already in the game but I`ve just seen it once happening to me.
Here are some references:

Shooting shirts Lebron and Zydrunas


Kevin Durant Towel


K.G On a suit.


Magic Bench (Best Picture, Just how it should be. Nelson on a suit, Dwight uniform, Earl Clark with the warmups and towel, Quentin with the Shooting shirt and Bass with the warmups.)

Re: NBA 2K12 - Let's Talk About NBA Authenticity, Artistic Improvements

It's been said many times before but here, I'll explain again.

The Developers are fully aware of the mods and capabilities of the PC version, it's no secret. Typing in CAPS, yelling at them, does nothing. You're not telling them something they don't already know. We, PC users, have been modding their games for years, and they're aware of it.

It's not the fault of the developers that console users cannot mod their games or consoles. So stop putting the blame on them. That is a problem that falls on the shoulders of Microsoft and Sony. They, Microsoft and Sony, do not want users to have full control over their consoles and games to allow modding capabilities. Until Microsoft and Sony change their opinion on this, not likely anytime soon, modding for console games will continue to be very limited to simple tricks, such as hex editing. A handful of developers have approached Microsoft and Sony to try and allow user content and some modding for console games, but have been shot down almost immediately. Valve (Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 1/2, Half Life, Counterstrike) and Bethesda (The Elder Scrolls) come to mind here, they have tried multiple times with zero success.

See when we mod our PC games we are modding the core files of the game by extracting them and viewing them through other applications like Photoshop, GIMP, NIFSkope, etc... etc... Console users simple do not have access to those files, and it would be illegal and a breach of the TOS of said console to alter them anyway.

I'm not asking 2k to give us XBOX/PS3 users the ability to MOD, I don't care for that....I Just want them to visually (through the pics on that website) see what console users r asking for in this thread.

Yes, I could've just used real NBA images like some on here to show what we wanna see in 2K12 but I figured it'll be better to post the modding website becuz it has actual ''in-game images" of things were asking for...as in faces that look identical to there counter parts, authentic accessories, etc.

All in all, I posted the website link as an reference for images of what we wanna see in 2k12 "NOT" to plead a case for console users to be able to mod like the PC users.......

One thing that I'm sure has been mentioned several times is the lack of excitement from the commentary. Yeah, they start hooting and hollering when you do an alley-oop but it comes out of nowhere, I want to see some momentum. Case in point, which this old T-Mac clip:

<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Sx1IY5ZFAxw" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe>

Notice how they get more and more hyped at what's going on? The color guy stops even saying anything constructive and is simply in awe of T-Mac. That atmosphere following the three off the Gooden screen is exactly what I'd love to see. Commentators completely losing it, opposing team throwing the ball into the ground in frustration, gasps of annoyance from the crowd, teammates giving you props. When I drop 50 points, hearing Clark simply say "HE'S JUST TOO GOOD KEVIN" for the umpteenth time is hilariously unrealistic. In a real NBA game, a guy dropping 50 points is an event and the commentary should reflect that.

Another great example is Ben Gordon from the 09 playoffs featuring Kevin Harlan and Doug Collins:

<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-AQn4TlHEnw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

In the latter half of the video you see Doug Collins at a complete loss for words at the shots Gordon is making.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that Clark Kellog is terrible.

i never said anything about files of any sort.ive played basketball games on pc and i am fully aware of modding capabilities and what you can do.if u notice i said make it similar.i suggested doing this by adding more accessories to diversify the options we have to create better players.and allow us to edit things within edit player that arent normally available to edit except on cap.like hair,facial hair,things of that nature.just the same way they now allow us to edit players shots and adding custom colorways on shoes.i was just suggesting that they add more options like this to close the gap between console play and pc play.i know there will always be a gap with things the way they are,but i was just suggesting that they keep expanding on these types of things so that even if they dont get to work on all the players faces or all the shoes or whatever,we can do it to a certain extent with what we have available to us. if u download the 2kshare rosters people would create players over again that were already in the game just to get the faces right,but sometimes the hair would be off or something because they just had to use what was there.so once again.all that i was asking was that there be more options to do things like this so that we can make things as realistic as we can,we will find a way,just give us the avenue.

Guys - if you don't provide pictures, your specific requests won't be added to the first post.

The point of this is to make it as easy as possible to get these updates into the game. Pictures help provide that immensely.

If we have a season and the NBA does what they did last year with two teams playing a couple of games in Europe during the regular season. The announcers should talk about that, and they should play in a neutral arena so it doesn't feel like a regular home game or away game.

Headbands should be able to be adjusted so that the logo is in the place you want it
Ex:
Back of head


You should be able to layer accessories
Ex:
Notice the sleeves with the baller bands under them


Fix the calve sleeve so that you can wear it with socks
Ex:


The addition of the small knee bad and big knee brace

Ex:
Small



Big Knee brace
