Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but can we get better timeout animations. Usually guys are much more closely together and the coach is showing them a play on a clipboard.

In 2K11 everyone is just standing around and not looking like they're in a huddle.

Nothing is impossible...ps2 can have great graphics. I know you have a ps2 too and you know they were some games that was just as good as the 3rd generations games. Have you played Star Wars The Force? Graphics are boss.
At least make the ps2 version look like nba 2k9 does on the 360 and ps3. Besides ps2 plays dvd format, doesn't the xbox 360 play dvd format.

Teams shouldn't be taking the ball in from half-court at the start of quarters. It happens when you play my-player and you sim to the start of the next quarter.

The Spurs road black uniforms are dark gray in the game, when they should be black. The dark gray road black uniforms in the game was an ongoing issue for the Spurs up until 2k10, where 2k finally fixed the issue.

Somehow, it made it's way back in 2k11. Hopefully, the art team makes the correction for 2k12.

That would be awesome, but I can't see them actually doing it.

IMMA CELTICS FAN SO I'M JUST GOING TO EXPRESS THE ISSUES I SEE ON THAT TEAM. RONDO NEEDS A FACE JOB AND 2K NEEDA GIVE HIM HIS HAIRLINE BACK. RAY BEEN NEEDING A NEW FACE FOR A LONG TIME AND SO HAS PAUL PIERCE. ALSO I NOTICE RONDO WEARS A TIGHTER SHORTER SLEEVE WHICH LEAVES ROOM FOR HIS SMALL WRISTBANDS. IN 2K THERES ONLY ONE LENGTH. AND FOR HOME GAMES RONDO AND ALLEN WEAR WHITE SLEEVES, NOT BLACK. AND IF YOU COULD SNEAK IN DOUBLED SOCKS OR A WIDER VARIETY OF SOCK LENGTHS THAT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL BUT THATS JUST ME.

PS2 Version doesn't look like 2k9. They both are DVD format but PS2's processors are older and outdated XBOX's are newer and better. The PS2 version can't get any better.

They're not putting in as much time and effort into the PS2 version when they have PS3 and Xbox standards to live up to, which is fair in my opinion. If you want the good graphics, you should invest in a new console.

^And it's not only a difference in graphics, but also overall system performance, AI, and user interface & control

Here are a few that could that could go a little deeper on the auntenticity of the NBA but are small details.

1. How about if we are allowed to play after the whistle for a few seconds. Say there is a foul on the perimeter and you were allowed to keep on playing as if there wasn't a foul and just shoot. Or the same thing suppose you are fouled but there was no continuation on the play but you shoot anyway and make the shot. Then have the fans react like it counts lol this happens all the time in NBA games. Then they can have the commentary say something to the effect of no continuation or whatever. To build on this you should be allowed to Kevin Garnett goaltend block shots after the whistle. KG does this all the time and other players have copied it as well.

2. Another thing sometimes after a change of possession the ball heads towards the other end of the court. The person imbounding the ball walks all the way down the court to get the ball, and the clock is still moving. They need to take this out. Stop the clock and have someone else get the ball and throw it down court if this happens.

3. Here is another thing that deals with change of possessions. Sometimes after a layup is made the person that made the shot bounces the ball to the ref. I know this is a small detail but these are the little things that up the realism. You would really see a lot of this during full court press after a made shot. This doesn't have to be every possession but it occurs in the NBA.

4. There needs to be more interaction between players on the same team, say after fouls and also more emotion for things such as and ones. There should be more cut scenes of players just talking to each other discussing what just happened on the previous play. There isn't enough real "communication" between players.

5. I know they are implementing some updates for buzzer beaters but there needs to be something done when the game is tight and you hit a shot to put you up with time remaining. The bench, the players in the game and the crowd should react a little more lively or if you are on the road the crowd should go silent even if there is time remaining.

6. To followup on what I said above there are certain situations that should draw certain reactions out of the crowd and the players on the court depending on whether home or away:

Players getting dunked on should always gets players on the bench and on the court hype as well as fans. If you are away the crowd should not be "oohing" or cheering as loud. Or unless you are a top tier team with fans that are everwhere

Alleyoops with dunks, fast break dunks and dunks in general the same as above.

A cross over and you leave the man going in the wrong direction is an automatic "ooh" moment unless you are not the home team.
