Please add this signature motion :

Jason Terry's JET


Dirk's One-legged fade away :

They say the Jet is in, and they completely redone Dirk.

In 2k12 i would like to see the shoe editor be revamped. Im talking about as far as how you can customize the shoe color ways and all. I did like the fact that they had all of the Jordans and would like for them to continue to add others like the Air Pennys and Kobes actual shoe as well as Lebrons. One thing I was disappointed in was the fact that when editing the Jordan 11's I could not make the actual black and red colorway or the "Space Jam" edition. It was hurtful especially playing the Jordan Mode and see Mike not sport his shoe properly.

Make shoe customizing more like NikeiD. It lets you pick colors for laces, rim of shoe etc.

Would be cool...AFTER they fix the elobw bands (and accessories in general), to also do what LIVE 08 or 09 did: Have signature text on the bands. Like Kid's band with "2" on it etc.

I was just about to post this. Look at how easily I made D. Wade's authentic shoes.

along w/ the shoe editing yall talkin about, it'd be cool if u could wear different shoes for home and away games. like if i could wear jordan 11's at home and the 13's at away games

As long as we're mentioning player specific taunts/celebrations, I'd like to add Wesley Matthews to the list!

-Warmups on the Bench ...when a player comes back from the bench, they usually wear shooting shirts and or just the long sleeve warmup like you see in NBA Live 10.

-More Throwbacks..... How in the world do you have the Jordan Challenges with no Phoenix Suns??? On top of that n Phoenix Suns sunburst uniforms??? those were classic!!
93 Phoenix Sunburst Uniform with the alternate
95 Toronto Raptor Dino uniform

Also All Star uniforms...lets get some love for throwback All Star uniforms..and even an option for the Team colors..

Better Championship celebrations!!!!! Cant stress this enough...They stepped it up a lil bit but there should be at LEAST 5 different celebrations..for a team winning its FIRST EVER, Back to Back, Three peats and others....

Retired numbers....a celebration for someone retiring their numbers.

Championship Banners at the start of the season......

Keeping it simple:

Player models/body type/skintone:
-There should be a noticeable difference in body type between players.
- ie. Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Andrew Bynum, Glen Davis, Paul Pierce
-I read somewhere they fixed D-Wade's skin tone, but Kevin Durant is a bit too dark as well. So are Russell Westbrook and Demar Derozan


Arenas:
-There should be a noticeable difference in the sound of the crowd between a layup made in the 1st quarter and a layup made in the 4th quarter to put the dagger in your opponent
-Pregame rituals for teams ie. Miami Heat have two flame throwers ignite just above the backboard before games start
-PA Announcers also. ie. New York Knicks' announcer and the way he pronounces players' names like Amar'e Stoudemire
-Players on the bench should have more interaction with players walking to the bench when a timeout is called. Reverse chest bumps, multiple high fives, etc

I probably just said what most people in here said already, haha.

This may of been mentioned, but NBA Live 10 killed at Playoff atmospheres. I would make the volume loud, and listen to my home crowd. Especially in the Finals

[statum71]

yeah i noticed this awhile back...i think its because the player models are bit too bulky to have that packed look

i want to chime in on the arena sounds as i said earlier in my post that they did a great job in arena specific authenticity but as i type this post and listening to this....
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YPbe5jIiQ5E" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="560"></iframe>
it just sounds sooo much better...i think 2k is lacking the ambience of the PA system..not entirely sure what you call it but it sounds so much like its in an arena..

i would post examples of MSG chants but i cant find any of it online...

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.

My post is centered more so around the GAME MENU. Though it maybe too late for 2k12. I always thought it would be cool if the combined there old concept of "THE CRIB" as the layout for the games actual menu.

*you could have the main room be the living room.

- options from the tv could be nbatoday nd thats were you start all of your games.(assuming the game zooms into the tv making it wide screen. but also able to watch ur post game from couch perspective.

-other things like magazines on the coffee table could house, the living roster updates, and online menus

other rooms to house your, trophies, a outside court to shoot around and practice on as a menu option.

- and etc. ideas i have that i wont mention for sake of rambling

but in all i think the core concept, could tie in the old 2ks with the new, and help create a more personable more so then just a sports game. the menu system could also work well with the MY Player mode


Also something random, since alot of people want like to be customizable, 2k should create a more indepth creation center.

_how does a create a shot option sound? combine differnt mechanics to create ur own shot

_ or the create a chant from the college games

ofcourse fix the made reason why we all still play the gameplay, but why not go beyond basketball/nba as just a game, but as a world sport lifestyle

thanks

This is not a wishlist thread. This is a thread for suggestions to make the game sound and look authentic to the NBA. Think of the "What you see on Sundays" concept from Madden.
