I dont think im asking to much when I say I want to see some age on players. If not the current athletes, show some age progression on the created players and generated rookies.

-wrinkles around the eyes

-receding hairlines

- change in muscle definition and body type

-Change in facial hair

-Change in dunk packages maybe.

J_Posse's post pretty much said it all in reference to player models. Player models need work big time. More body type's as mentioned earlier of course and more variations with the fit of the uniform. Not all players wear those overly baggy jerseys.

I like the idea of player introductions..seeing them warming up having a shootaround before the game "in their warmups"...maybe talking about key ma

I also want to see when players get hurt to be helped off the court depending on how serious the injury is..

i would love for us to have different types of jersey fits..and body types...and hair...i dont want to feel as tho im creating a generic player.

Co-Sign... The players never visually show signs of aging and they should, if thats allowed by the NBA of course, you know they cant be weird about these things.

Dwade needs his face redon and his shot, Kevin Durant looks terrible, fix Dirk's shot, Stephen Jackson's face and Javale Mcgee

Alot of great suggestions so far. Arena specific broadcast camera angles would be a great addition.


-Please fix the arena lighting at the Verizon center in 2k12. You guys have them playing in lights out lighting, and it's not the correct lighting used when watching their games on TV. The crowd should be very visible and the court lighting should be much brighter.

I remember last year before the season started a couple of people came on these boards requesting that you guys switch the lighting to dark but, IRL the lighting never changed.

Playing home games with the Wizards in 2k11 looked nothing like the games I watched on TV because of this wrong lighting issue.

Please use the same lighting for the Verizon Center that you had for 2k1o, for this year's game. It was perfect in that version.

-Speaking of lights out, the Staples Center still does not seem dark enough in the game in regards to the lighting in the crowd. MSG lighting in the game is perfect though.

-Nick Young needs a lighter skin tone and a sig shot. He has had the same player model and face since his rookie year.

-Maybe have Doris Burke interviewing the player of the game on occasion after some games ala NFL2K5.

No corny voice over actors or dialog is needed. Just show a real-time cut scene of her on court interviewing the player as the announcers are wrapping up the game and the players are leaving the court, just like you see IRL televised games.

-Players and fans should acknowledge each other more after home wins, when leaving the court. Hand gestures, high fives, hand shakes etc....

Would be wonderful if 2K just lets us customize our own accessories by giving us different options. I hate it when I customize my shoes but when teams like the Bulls wear their St. Pat's jersey, colors are off...they should have options for different colored Jerseys also. Still baffles me that 2K hasn't put in Dwight Howards Adidas sleeves in the game yet and he's been wearing it the past 2 years already. 2k needs to give us the options of black or white socks also and not just black ankle braces.....More Shoes would be a nice addition!!!! Hopefully they can upgrade their Create a Player as well so we can make missing players look more like themselves.

Crowd
More people wearing actual Team Jerseys
Lines of people getting up when the quarters are over to go to the bathroom/concessions
Show people leaving when the game is winding down and when its over
Celebrities in the crowd ex. Ray Allens mom (celts), jack Nicholson (Lakers), Spike Lee (Knicks) (def asking for too much but it would be so cool)
Players falling into fans and interacting with them
Fans catching the ball and throwing it back when it goes out of bounds

Presentation
News from around the league during gameplay
Other scores and stats from different games showing up at the bottom of the screen
Highlights of those games around the league during half time
Post game show

on the CHOOSE team screen there should be a option to chosse color on color accessories just like theres and option to choose with jerseys to pick... such as "white on white, black on black, team color 1 on team color 1, etc.... but I know you guys get my drift. There is nothing more tacky than a white head band with black/team color sleeve. it should be color on color or use the player choose...

I think madden has a feature where you can mix up the uniforms such as 80's pants with current jerseys...

So i think 2k can do this with there Accessories just to mix things up with the Sleeves, headbands, wristbands/forearm bands, and calf sleeves...

[hoop xyience]

The create a player tattoos has to be upgraded...2k still have some of the tats from 2k8

more sleeve like tats...
we should be able to resize and move tats to different parts of the arm or the neck...
(Like the J.R Smith tat on his adam apple...The inner arm as well.
Deshawn Stevenson Face like tats...

CAP has not been updated in a while with full customization..im just saying

[steinhauser34]

different crowd reactions to different plays. the fans shouldn't all be standing up cheering for a three pointer in the first quarter of a meaning less game. I would like to be able to hear a difference between making a lay up or having a monster dunk over someone. check out the video of taj gibson on dwyane wade for a good example of this. Being able to see people in the crowd stand up or sit down would be nice, it doesn't matter if their fantastic graphics, it would just add more emotion to big plays and such.

def need player intros. NBA In the Zone used to have intros AND you could watch the National Anthem which was sung by a different person each time.

[truintellectplaya]

They need to beef up celebrations definitely. When a team makes a huge comeback, hits a buzzer beater, or even simply the playoff atmosphere could use some more excitement. There are some really good player models and some bad and that's not gonna change anytime soon. The game has so many camera angles to play on that I am not sure adding more is gonna solve anything. What could be added is some local commentary or an option for us to add looking commentary. Meaning if I could take some audio clips of the Hawks local commentators and upload it and use it instead of the normal group over and over that would be great.

In conclusion, they have momentum shots now they need to add momentum moments such as huge comebacks, buzzer beaters, etc. Playoff atmosphere could use another notch turning up. Also, if we could put out local commentators voices and commentary into the game by uploading it that would be great. Maybe create a commentator would be a good function also. If they can they should polish the player models even more but I am not so concerned with that because you will always be able to complain that some guys virtual representation does not visually represent him well enough.

Lastly, aren't the My Player and Jordan Challenge modes totally against trying to make the game as realistic as possible? Most people want to create a 7"7 version of Dwight Howard then whine about Dwight Howard not being as true to life as they would wish. The game will never be authentic enough for some and too true to life for some. NBA 2K is the best playing sports game on the market to me, now that there online play is getting there if they could catch there graphics up to the feeling you used to get from looking at MLB The Show's graphics before you got used to them this franchise would be even more untouchable.

love the idea of players aging of the years, as long as its not done over the top

[Canes305]

Can I get REAL ARENA announcers instead of the generic ones?
