Brandon Jennings & Stephen Curry need to be updated. They didn't update them at all last year. Also, add Brandon Jennings' tattoos.

It would be more realistic if they added the medical wrap color (tan) to the thumb sling accesorie and add more medical wrap accessories for the wrist and ankle

[jdareal21]

I think you guys covered all the major bases, but a few things I think bear reiterating:

1) The Faces, in particular the superstars. For the life of me, I can't understand why Kobe's face has seemingly regressed since '09. It's not like it's really far off, but something.......is off lol. He looks alien-like, it's just weird, and he also happens to be one of your more frequent pitchman, not to mention one of the greats, c'mon 2K, your better than that ha!

2) Whoever said something about the sliders for accessory position is spot on. It alleviates all sorts of issues with just that little bit of control.

3) Definitely the post game interviews, which is something they used to have, not sure why they abandoned it. I would go so far as to say have the coach interviews at the beginning of the quarters, in addition to a halftime interview with the star of the game thus far. Authenticity baby!

4) And this is huge! Some type of postgame show! I know they can't use the ESPN stuff, but so what, they used to have the fictional announcers, and they were better than most of the real life guys. Probably the greatest thing about NFL 2K5 was Sportscenter, when people talk about that game, it's things like that which they remember. 2k12 needs to step in this direction, especially since EA seemingly won't

FACIAL FEATURES
- Editable Features of NBA Players' Facial hair and hair Ex. Dirk and Marc Gasol sometimes has short and sometimes long hair, Nene’s Dreadlocks??,Chris Andersen’s mohawk and sometimes long hair, Andrei Kirilenko’s Spiky Hair and Long Hair, LeBron James’ Clean shave and thick beard, NBA Players’ change to mohawks or Braided Hairs, and some players change to Buzzed hair ex. Mike Bibby, Tyson Chandler, Andrew Bynum, Rajon Rondo, Andre Iguodala.

- New and improved NBA Players Faces. Please please please make them more look realistic. Please edit Ray Allen coz he looks like a Ninja Turtle, Paul Pierce looks like a sad hamster, Kobe Bryant looks a bit like an Alien, Joakim Noah not even cose to the real face, and ALSO CARMELO ANTHONY he looks very very different . Some of the NBA Players just needs little editing like LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Gilbert Renas, Hedo Turkoglu, Andrew Bynum, Mario Chalmers, Andre Miller, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Chris Andersen, Nene.

BODY FEATURES AND JERSEYS
- Please make the bodies of the NBA Players more realistic by NOT making the NBA Players too bulky or too slim. Just right like in their real bodies.

- NBA Players UPDATED TATOOS

- PLEASE add features of CHANGING JERSEYS FITTINGS. Some of NBA Players are not wearing loose jerseys anymore, they prefer wearing Fit Jerseys like LeBron James, Russel Westbrook, Wilson Chandler, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, and etc.

ACCESSORIES

- Wearing of Accessories feature in NBA Players, change it by PUTTING LAYERS ALL AT THE SAME TIME like wearing of Knee pads, Half Knee pads, Ankle Supports without making other leg accessories disapear like in previous 2K. Making the sleeves a bit shorter so that we can put Rubberbands or Wristbands. I included this on my wishlist because some of the NBA Players like to wear a lot of Accessories like Sleeves, Bands and Pads like Paul Pierce, Mike Miller, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant.

- New Accessories like longer Half Bands in the Kness and Legs, Longer Compression shorts just like LeBron’s. Making The Sleeves and Shirt inside the jersey look more thinner.

- Removing and Putting on Face Accessories like Glasses of Amare Stoudemire, Face protector/Mask of Richard Hamilton.

- Color of the Accessories in Home and Away, Please Let us pick what color we could put in the NBA Player’s accessories Home, Away or Alternate.

- 2K PLEASE CHANGE the Pinkish color in Accessories in NBA teams w/ REAL RED COLORS like in the Chicago Bulls, LA Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers.

SHOES
- DLC Shoes
- Updated Shoes
- Make our Own Shoes
- Change the Default Generic shoes to the sponsored shoes of NBA. I think it’s Adidas or Nike

COURTS
- Please make the courts more updated like in the Dallas Mavericks, putting the BIG HD screen. Boston Celtics’ TD Garden, and other NBA court’s with needs of tweaking Color of the wood and paints in the Court.

IN GAME CHANGES
- NBA Player’s more realistic shooting. I hope they change/fix the shots of NBA Players because some of the Guard position has slow release like Center postions, just like Ronnie Brewer, Aaron Afflalo, Chauncey Billups, Paul Pierce and etc.

- Intense Taunts when having a strong foul counted score like LeBron James, when he drives and dunks on people he screams and taunts like a Spartan (LOL haha), same as Carlos Boozer and Kenyon Martin.

- Taunts when getting a Three points like Jason Terry doing the jet, Deshawn Stevenson when rasing the three sign, Mo Williams doing the three sign near his eye, Shrug, Cocky or the Swag face.

- End game Buzzer beaters, running to the crowd, running towards the locker room, jumping in the committees table, teammates from the bench chasing the player.

- More Isomotion and Signature Moves/Dunks

- Interviewing NBA Players during halftime and after game

- During substitution NBA Players will take off their Warmers and Jogging pants when going near the committees table when getting subbed. When going back to the benches or during timeout, NBA players are given a towel or gatorade


GRAPHICS EDIT
- Please change this. I noticed one detail that didn't change in NBA 2K10 and NBA 2K11: Every time the player subs, the player who will gets subbed changes in Low Graphic Quality jerseys.

everything you said my dude is what needs to be redone. you hit it right on the head with this one right here cause they really need to fix all of that especially the pinkness in every team that wears red cause i be wanting to put on red accessories with the Hawks and Bulls but everything red looks pink so i just make it black. i'm hoping the people from 2k are reading everything people are saying cause we want the realist basketball game ever made and if they can't give the people what they want then they will not be making any money in the long run

[Knicks101]

i think something minor that needs to be fixed is wen a player gets subbed out of the game they got all boxy and clayish

Your right. I think they should really read our suggestions and focus on it coz it's what the people want and I'm 100% sure that they can make a lot of money by doing it. Majority in this forum are big fans of NBA and for me people know more and they see what's really real in an actual NBA game. Playing this game with the features of what people want, nobody loses in the end, win-win for us and for them. I hope they focus also on small details like ex. color, if you're an ordinary gamer you wouldn't notice it but if you are real NBA gamer one look and you know what's wrong.

2K READ THIS!!! He basically hit the nail on everything that deals with Artistic Authenticity. If all of these were implemented I'd buy for $80

Yeah, that's the term I'm looking for. They look boxy and clayish. I hope they can really fix it this time.

Thanks! but I wish 2K can read this, I even posted this on 2ksports NBA 2K12 suggestion. If they implemented it I'd buy it also for $80 or more.

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

Stop begging for them to read it. We got your point - it will be added accordingly but just stop the begging. We don't do that around here.

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

I hear u. And yes it "sounds" nice. But thats the ONLY thing 2K needs to take an NBA Live. 2K has the rest of that game beat like a drum.

I'd say they should use the bumping animation you see happening between Rondo and Nelson as Rondo brings the ball up. It's so much better than the static shock animation we have now IMO

[youvalss]

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

It's been a while since I played 2K11, so I don't remember if you can edit generic shoes. But anyway, I have no problem with generic shoes, I just don't like it that they look like clown's shoes - with the team colors all over. I'd prefer the old generic shoes (like in older 2K's), maybe with one little stripe of the team color.

[TheAlmighty]

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

Co-sign @ whoever suggested DLC shoes and create-a-shoe.

Create-a-shoe mode should be an advanced paint tool. I think the 2K fan community could make some very realistic shoes using that.

It also is a great alternative to modding, which is something we'll never see on consoles. It's the next best thing.
