Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Let us have the option to pick between a few different voices for our player when play My Player mode.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

By FAR the biggest, and perhaps the only real reason I don't play past the first year in Association and My Player is because after the first year, the league gets polluted with terribly, automatically created fake players. It's an abomination to both modes.

What I would love to see happen, and I have to imagine it's absolutely possible (I'll explain below), is for 2K to let you start your career or association in, say, the 2000-2001 season. At the end of each of the next ten seasons, the draft classes are 100% the same as they were in real life, but depending on which teams pick where, and what teams need, players get drafted live instead of the order they went in back in the day.

How could this possibly not be too much work for 2K? Because THEY'VE ALREADY DONE IT. Correct me if I'm wrong, since I've only bought 2K10, 2K11, and 2K12, but this series goes back to the early 2000s, yes? And in each game, there was the full rookie class of players, like LeBron James as a rookie in 2K4. Right? So bringing in so many rookies, year after year, should be a breeze since 2K has already created most (if not all) of their likenesses, and they've come up with stats for each of their attributes.

Let user have have the choice of who the designated ball handler and play caller is. I only use Mavs and when Kidd is out if forces Odom or Terry to be the play caller. Let me choose who sets up and intiate the offense/play.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

the game needs some adjustment to how it recognizes a "contested shot"....sometimes the defender won't even be that close to me, but my shot grade gets dropped to a D+ on what appears to be a fairly open shot. other times I'll be up in a shooter's grill and get my hand right near the ball, yet the shot still gets an A- or B grade as if the game didn't even recognize that i contested it.

I'm glad someone pointed this out. There's a few times a game where I'll get what looks like a wide open shot, but the announcers will comment on the "tight defense" or how it was a bad shot. I figured those shots are programmed not to fall as much and I do usually miss them.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

How about fixing some practical things, like the occasional framerate slowdown in certain camera angles and making sure that the online gameplay actually works Team up mode almost never works for me.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

small request...How about making it possible for CANADIANS to play in this game. When I make MyPlayer and where it list Country or Hometown Canada is no where to be found. PLEASE FIX THIS...please and thank you!

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

The most important thing to fix is GAMEPLAY! 2k needs do what NBA live did much better than 2k. NBA live used 10 man motion capture technology which provided great open floor spacing, spot up shooters would actually give you room to operate and attack the basket.

Incorporate this in NBA 2K13 and you would have a almost perfect game.

One thing that I absolutely cannot stand in 2k is the horrible spacing in 2k. Sometimes you have shooters clogging the lane, bumping into players. This is something that would sometimes turn me off about the game.

Finally, make screens and picks actually matter this time. Setting picks and screens are useless in this game. AI sets horrible screens, USERS can just avoid screens and picks without any problems, this is not realistic. I love 2k but this is also something NBA LIVE perfected.

I hope everyone reads this and agrees with me. Please like this if you agree with me.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Thank you , guess i am not the only one who noticed how dumbed down jumpshots are this year compared to 2k11

Yeah, I don't understand why they felt they had to dumb down the shot releases this year. Although, it seems like alot of the gameplay in 2k12 has been dumb downed compared to 2k11.

On-ball defense is horrible. Player movement this year feels like your on a hockey rink sliding all over the place (wonder if the former 2k hockey devs worked on this game ) along with the reduced force field its hard to stay in front of your man alot of times and they can easily slide by you.

Going for blocks, rebounds, moving in the opposite direction, ect all feels very delayed and sluggish to me.

Hate that you can't do anymore of the signature player moves like you could last year with "Y" or all the moves you could do by running in one direction and moving the shot stick in the opposite direction.

Live Ball Physics is a joke with Passes, Blocks, Steals, and using Turbo the ball gets knocked loose, bounces off people, stolen, and blocked way to much.

Passing and catching the ball is so much worse this year.

Double teams don't work like they did last year.

Then of course the dumb downed online this year with no crew, team-up which is worse, and a simplistic online association.

2k12 was a major disappointment! I hope for 2k13 they make it so that its more like 2k11 which was actually fun to play and not so dumb downed and frustrating to play.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

It would be nice also if your playing on-ball defense and you're holding the LT and the person shoots the ball, then your player puts a hand up like in 2k11.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

- Get rid of canimations, they are ANNOYING.

- Get rid of the psychic AI defense

- Fix the broken passing game

- As far as offensive controls, if I'm inside of 12-14 feet of the basket and I have LT held down, it should be a hopstep, eurostep, or reverse dunk (depending on what you put in obviously), even if you are cutting across the lane. I was holding down LT earlier, and I tried to do a hopstep layup but my guy decided to do a running hook. If I am NOT holding down LT then that's fine to have the running hook, but I was holding it down... controls should do what they are supposed to. Outside of that range if you are holding LT then it should be the clutch animation shot or whatever it's called, with the setup dribble and stepback or pullup or whatever.

- Get rid of the icy feel to man-to-man defense

- PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND LOOK AT RONYELL'S ROSTER, THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD GET FROM YOU GUYS!

- Abilities should matter, I actually had Shannon Brown jump as high as the backboard the other day (which was more of a canimation issue). Ronnie freaking Turiaf jumped as high as LeBron earlier to block a shot. Pretty sure he can't get up like that.

- Fix the CPU speed issue where they have a huge Sonic the Hedgehog boost on fastbreaks.

- It also looks like when the CPU gets a block, there is like an invisible step or they levitate, THEN jump up for the block, which gives them an extra 6 inches on their vert.

- As far as dunks, how about not having the same dunks play out over and over and over again. Especially dunks that players rarely do. For some reason, LBJ's and Kobe's "main" dunks are double pumps, I mean... WHAT?

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Please add goggles as an accessory for my player mode. And even though they kind of fixed the CAPs in 2K12 I still feel like no matter what my guy will look somewhat similar to any other created player, they need to implement what FIFA has in taking a picture of your face and then using that to mold your face, that would be awesome.

[Alfro0925]

So I saw a video that kind of released some information about EA's upcoming NBA Elite 13 and some of the speculated ideas really grabbed my attention. I'm obviously not going to request they mix in NCAA on the same disc and I'm not even sure if Elite 13 is going to have that. But they said that they will include taunting which I assume can lead to technical fouls and idk if that could be implemented but I love the idea. Also on cutscenes of team huddles they are going to include audio of the coaches talking and whatnot which really adds to the atmosphere. Now if 2K13 can include some of these ideas that would be wicked cool, because although I really prefer a strong core gameplay, I also like some eyecandy and I've ALWAYS wanted a form of taunting but I heard it isn't really allowed.

This was in live 10 I would always hear the coach say something like make sure you stop drew.

I hate when I try to push the tempo and dribble out in front of me with the turbo my teammate makes a b-line to run in front of me causing the ball to hit his foot. On the walk the dog inhounds they do the same thing, the inbounder will run at the ball and kick it causing the shot clock to start, defeating the purpose of the pass in the first place. I would like to be able to do a crossover or layup on cue without sucking into a bumping animation.

Don't know if this goes here but we need plenty more signature moves and various dribble types. For example Chris Paul plays at a different pace than other pgs and he doesn't attack as hard as a Russell Westbrook does while driving. Chris uses a lot of hesitation and stop and go' moves while dribbling. The crossovers should be more fluid. We aren't able to go around a pick and immediately cross back to split the help side defense because the moves are too drawn out.

Ratings should mean something. Too many times I'll have the cpu best to the rim and they will run around the other guys on the court at an angle to meet me at the goal before my guy is finished taking his two steps for the lay up. Quickness and speed are a non factor in the game. What's the point of having the fastbreak dribble if the center can run stride for stride with me when I do it. I think it actually lowers my chances of scoring on the break because it automatically does it when I press turbo. Map that dribble to the left stick ala' 2k8 when we could move the left stick twice to sprint ahead for the fast break.

If evan turner and wesley Johnson get signature moves than I think Nick Young deserves his own layup package. I remember when Nash would lick his fingers while coming up the court in past 2k games what happened to the little details like this, they add to the authenticity and realism. Back in 2k5 I believe, Ben Wallace would go from the fro to the braids on home and away games, more players should have this option to keep the game from going stale. Players like Artest, Chandler, Nick Young, Beasley, Gerald Wallace, mayo, Lebron, ect. Who change haircuts and facial hair throughout the year

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

improved physics, collision detection, and overall basketball experience from the fundamentals of the game to the atmosphere of being at the game, in the game as a player/coach, or watching a game on tv.

it also would be nice to update the championship celebration(s) i.e sportsmanship congratulations to the victors by the other team, coaches shake hands, on floor interview right before halftime. and wheres the confetti?

show the player of game talking to when players are leaving the floor before showing their highlights. make drone awareness more realistic.
take out the ability to deflect a pass when they cannot see it or facing it or are back peddling and jumping backwards.

add more block variants. take out generics. why are there no goggles in c.a.p? head band should have the same color choices as all accessories.
why aren't the all the jerseys available in my player mode? i also would like to be able to control who i throw an alley-oop to and who i pass it to if i'm hustling to keep the loose ball in bounds. or have the option to bounce it off an opponent.

make defense equal to offense. great job on graphics this year too, but chris pauls face was off. he looked like himself in 2k11.

thats all i can think of for now.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

oh yeah. was watching some video of apf 2k8. loved thr collision detection with the ball. live ball in 2k13 should be like this.
