Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

after a while with this game there are a couple main issues that bother me:

1. i don't like how the game often chooses weird layup animations that don't correspond to my controller input.. for example, a lot of the layup animations will have a hop step automatically built in, which will also cause my player to move in a direction i didn't want him to move in...most of the time i just want him to go straight at the hoop and do a normal layup, but instead he shifts his direction and does an auto-hop step and ends up laying it in on the wrong side of the hoop or something. simplify the layup animations and get rid of a lot of these extra built in auto gathers that make my player move where i don't want him to. if i'm moving toward the hoop and I move the shot stick to the right, my player should lay the ball up on the right side of the hoop and use his right hand - EVERY TIME...don't force me into layup animations that don't follow my shot stick input.

2. on defense when guarding the ball handler there seems to be times when the game will make my player move when i didn't tell him to move, thus allowing the ball handler to get by me. this seems most noticeable when the ball handler gets near the hoop and starts using pump fakes, hop steps, and spins. for example, if the ball handler does a pump fake near the hoop, the game will make my player automatically shift to the side slightly thus giving the ball handler space to do an up-and-under layup. when trying to stay in front of a player when he's doing spins, hopsteps, etc....my player can't create contact, so the game kind of makes my player slide past him rather that stopping him.

there needs to be way more realistic collision physics on hopsteps, spins, and up-&-under layups. if my body is blocking his path, there should be a collision EVERY TIME...if my body is blocking his path and i neutralize the left stick, then he should plow over me and be called for a charge. i just want to see collisions happen when they should, not just occasionally.

Also, go back to the layup and dunk controls that were in 2K11. They seemed more fluid and were easier to control.

This has been a problem for awhile now. Sometimes you just want a simple, quick layup but you get some long, drawn out animation, or your player does a reverse layup. Very annoying.

I'd say the shot stick needs some tuning for the face up post game too. When you attack the rim you should be able to pick which hand you want to attack with with the shot stick. Too many times you press a direction and you get a shot you didn't want.

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.

I agree that we need to be able to pick jerseys in player mode, it would be pretty nice to vary what jerseys my team wears instead of the same home and away ones each time. I also agree that 2K11's Chris Paul looked a lot like him, I don't know what they were thinking when they created his face in 2K12.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this, but I would love to see a GameFace feature in NBA 2K13. This way our my players would look a lot more realistic. Basically, you would upload a picture and GameFace would generate a player with a similar image. For instance I could upload a picture of Allen Iverson and GameFace would generate a player that looked like Allen Iverson. Those who want to look like themselves can upload a picture of their self, so they can get a more realistic looking My Player. This would allow the 2K community to use players that other wise wouldn't be in the game such as Allen Iverson and Brandon Roy. This feature would be great, especially if 2k13 has Crew.

MVP Mode for NBA 2k13

For my first contribution to Operation Sports, I would like to suggest an idea for a new game mode in 2k13, the idea is as follows.

Similar to the "Greatest Player" mode in 2k12, "MVP" mode would let you go back and play as the leagues MVP award winners, players in the peak of their NBA careers.

Including players as far back in the past such as Bob Cousy, to recent players such as Allen Iverson, the mode would include players stretching over 55 years of NBA history. The mode would include even the most latest of MVP players such as Derrick Rose, and the undecided 11-12 MVP.

Even though MVP mode would include players already featured in 2k12's "Greatest Mode", it would include players not featured in 2k12 to be included in 2k13. The main idea being to allow users to play as the some of the NBA's great players in their prime.

Heres what a potential list might look like:

- Bob Pettit (2 X MVP) & first MVP recipient.
- Bob Cousy (56-57 MVP)
- Bill Russell (5 X MVP)
- Wilt Chamberlain (4 X MVP)
- Oscar Robertson (63-64 MVP)
- Wes Unseld (68-69 MVP)
- Willis Reed (69-70 MVP)
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6 X MVP)
- Dave Cowens (72-73 MVP)
- Moses Malone (3 X MVP)
- Bob McAdoo (74-75 MVP)
- Julius Erving - (80-81 MVP)
- Bill Walton (77-78 MVP)
- Larry Bird (3 X MVP)
- Magic Johnson (3 X MVP)
- Michael Jordan (5 X MVP)
- Charles Barkley (92-93 MVP)
- Hakeem Olajuwon (93-94 MVP)
- David Robinson (94-95 MVP)
- Karl Malone (2 X MVP)
- Shaquille O'Neal (99-00 MVP)
- Allen Iverson (00-01 MVP)
- Tim Duncan* (2 X MVP)
- Kevin Garnett* (03-04 MVP)
- Steve Nash* (2 X MVP)
- Dirk Nowitzki* (06-07 MVP)
- Kobe Bryant* (07-08 MVP)
- LeBron James* (2 X MVP)
- Derrick Rose* (10-11 MVP)

* Players currently in the NBA

As you can see, due to the number of players with multiple MVP awards, the list only narrows down to 30 players, that is including the 11-12 MVP. It would be an obvious idea to find a good rival team to matchup against the MVP recipients respective team to keep the gameplay competitive.
It would also be a good idea to have the players unlocked in a chronological order, that is from past to present.

In an effort to include great players who didn't / haven't receive an MVP award during their illustrious NBA careers, I would include these players in a match up with the MVP players team, i.e by Reggie Miller by including the Pacers in a finals matchup with the 99-00 Lakers. Some other players that should be included would be Tracy McGrady (Magic), Yao Ming, Ray Allen (Sonics), Pete Maravich, Bernard King, Jerry Lucas, Artis Gilmore, James Worthy, Gary Payton, Walt Frazier, Jason Kidd (Nets), Rick Barry, Elgin Baylor..


.. of course there are many other players that deserve honourable mentions, however I didn't want to make this post too long.

Put backs don't look natural in this game or any other of the previous alliterations. I'd like to see a change in the physics when it comes to put backs.

Please don't start that again this year... that could easily be sent to Ronnie or Mike Wang on twitter...

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Thought up of a little somethin. How about for each player have a few sets of hairstyles (because players always change their hairstyle) and when playing a game of either quick game or association in the same menu where you pick jerseys have an option to select a specific hairstyle for the player you choose. Obviously they won't be random ones, for Dirk have the one he has now as an option and then maybe a shorter cut. Then you can save so you don't have to change it every game. I didn't do the greatest job of explaining it but I just thought of this idea.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

instead of Hollywood style intro, it'd b great to start from the locker-room, have a speech from the coach, then go the court through the arena hallways and warm up ... That would b perfect to me =)

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Alright here's what I'd mostly like to see in 2K13:

-When creating a player give the option to choose a body type. I, like Kevin Durant, have pretty skinny arms, there should be normal, skinny, fat (well using a different word haha), normal, and then muscular and ripped

-Have goggles as an accessory when creating a player

-Different jersey fitting: Some players like Derrick Rose or Dwight Howard have their jerseys fit tight on them, however Kobe wears his jersey fairly loose, let that be an option when creating a player

-Allow the pass fake button to be used while moving to perform say a fake behind the back like what Rondo does or a fake behind the back pass but instead just doing a behind the back. So don't make it have you stop if you want to use it on the break or while you are moving

-Make it easier to sprint without having to throw the ball in front of you because it usually causes problems, possibly have it as a different button

-Like others have said in the past give the user an option to choose what type of pass they want to make

-As SlyOne said, please please please implement a GameFace feature like FIFA has, I'm sure everybody would love it

-I don't have the Kinect but others may have it so how about to create a custom jumpshot the camera looks at the way you shoot it so you can have your own unique jumpshot and form

-If it can somehow be implemented I would love to see taunting and possibly technical fouls or flagrants that actually result in extra free throws. Make emotion have an effect on the game

I probably have a lot of other ideas but I think these ones are what I'd like to see most.

EDIT: Oh yeah and give us the option to choose different jerseys in my player mode.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I want to see a composure rating. If a player has a low rating, they might start rushing shots or hogging the ball when the game is starting to get out of hand or start fouling more when it's clear that their team is going to lose the game. Someone with a high composure wouldn't get phased by big situations and might even play better. It would also make a real difference with inexperienced players/teams get into the playoffs.

Yeah I hate this exactly right here. The CPU has decided that you are not stopping the move so you must move slightly over to the side to let the play/ animation occur without contact and a higher success rate goes with no contact so a greater chance the CPU will make the shot. This is what I call disabling the user for the sake of difficulty. Some people don't notice it. I hope it is eliminated in 2K13.

I would love this feature! It would make cap making much much more easier! I think one of the Socom games did this for the PS3...
