Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

My Player

Here are some of my other ideas:

Pre NBA:
If they do bring college hoops back be able to play high school then be recruited to college like road to glory in ncaa football. If not then start in the draft combine with drills and maybe just one game to determine draft place like the real one and pre draft workouts. Make it harder to be a lotto pick. After being drafted, bring back the summer league then give us a choice how many games we wanna play from a shortened one to the real schedule and if we need improvement after our first season we have to do it again. Training camp...irdc. For the draft have player popularity or something. If your from a bigtime college your well known if you not then no one knows you. This all plays on where you go in the draft

Contracts and money: add more stuff to buy like a house or a car or idk just add more. Maybe even make accesories buyable.

Goals and teamate grades: THANK YOU FOR GETTING RID OF HOLD THE BALL TO LONG, but i think excessive call for pass is stupid, when im speeding up replays, i get that every time.

Gameplay: make pick and rolls possible, and isolation possible

Character creation: make this more dynamic. add more faces, hair styles, fix the facial hair, and add more accesories. Bring back the ability to elongate the back of the head.

Association:

D-League
I would like to have a choice to make a DLeague association.

Roster:
put in 10 day contracts

more realistic trade finder i dont think ray lewis is worth daquan cook

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

1. Choosing who does the tip-off
2. Better defense on inbound passes (especially in close games)
3. Seeing your reserves on the bench wearing suits
4. Seeing players going to the locker room to get thier injury checked out, and coming back if it isn't serious

My Player Ideas:

Please add more tattoo options, the ones we have now honestly suck. If you want to make it easy then just let us chose other NBA players Tattoos to put on our My Players.

In MP mode, whenever a roster update is released my 2k then make it implemented on MP mode so that we have current rosters instead of having to start a new MP.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

It should be a necessity for players to move their feet in order to move AT ALL. No sliding.

Tone down momentum.

Get completely rid of canned animations, they seem to always play out on Eurosteps. Just let them finish the second step for God's sake.

Hands should actually touch the ball. If there is contact, the players should actually MAKE contact.

Make controls responsive, if I flick the shot stick right, the player should shoot to the right (especially with layups and dunks.

Live up to the promises that you make in the Developer Insights

What happened to updating and adding animations throughout the season? Y'all did this in 2K9, why not anymore? What happened to updating the art throughout the season that was stated in a developer insight?

For real, I don't understand why 2K12 got so much praise, except for the fact that it is the only basketball game out. The game needs SERIOUS upgrading. I almost can't see the positives through all of the negatives.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

They absolutely need a fastbreak practice mode (Not the one in MyPlayer). It has to be in the "Practice" menu along with "Freestyle", "Post Moves" etc. and they need much much more contact. They've made strides as far as in the paint and all that, but they need more, especially on the perimeter (I don't mean that bumping crap they had in 2K11). Even if it's just a brush off contact animation the defense should ride right on the offensive players hip if he's in position. Far too many times have I seen players appear to go through defenders arms.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

2k really needs to revamp it's contact/collision system. the game needs a big upgrade in this area. constantly in 2k12, i see situations where there should be contact between 2 players, but instead the offensive player just slips by the defender...or the defender slips around the offensive player, when they should've collided. it often feels like the game makes the defender kind of "slide past" the ball handler, rather than bump him...this issue of players "sliding" by one another makes the defense feel "slippery" as if the palyers have no friction or mass to them. the physics in this bizarre world of 2k make it feel as if every player is shaped like lubed-up cylinder, so rather than bumping into eachother, they just slip and slide around eachother. i'll be trying to stay infront of the ball handler and move toward him, but rather than creating contact, my player slides too far left, or too far right and just "slips" around the ball handler. i also see a lot of situations where the ball handler will be sprinting towards to the hoop and plows right over the defender, yet his layup/dunk animation is not altered in any way...even if it's Lebron running over a small guard, there should be some type of collision animation...if a moving player runs right over another player, he doesn't just keep moving foward as if nothing happened.

they should also bring back the "hip rides" when turbo running along side the ball handler...in 2k12, apparently physics go out the window when you are holding the turbo trigger...it's like the turbo trigger doubles as an off switch for any type of realistic collision between solid objects.


in regards to controlling defenders, the game needs to be revamped in how it recognizes who is initiating the contact. so many times the offensive player just plows into the defender, but the defender gets called for a foul (this relates to how charges should be handled as well). it's a nightmare trying to play defense in this game when you just stand still and the offensive player moves INTO YOU, but you are called for a foul...how are you supposed to play defense if almost all contact results in a foul against the defender?

this is especially frustrating when trying to defend those garbage "pump fake then up-and-unders"....you'll keep in front of the ball handler after the initial pump fake and you try to just stand in front of him, but if you impede his leaning up-and-under shot you are called for a foul...this is some B.S...if you (the defender) are standing still and the offensive palyer just leans straight into you, that should be a charge!!!!

if the defender is fairly immobile, and the offensive payer moves INTO THE DEFENDER and itiates the conact, then it should just be a contested/contact shot with no whistle...or if the offensive player has a lot of momentum going towards the defender, then it needs to be a charge.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I'd like to see a more intelligent pick and roll, 2-man game. Sometimes a pick isn't even set yet the play is still effective because of the positioning of the players involved. Sometimes a pick is set but it doesn't even touch the defender yet the play is still effective. And players "pop" but really all they do is stand in the spot they set the pick and receive a pass for a jumper. I'd just like to see a more realistic pick and roll game in 2K13.

One problem of pick n roll in 2k12 is the AI opponent's tendency to slide around the pick thus rendering it inutile.

One idea that floated around my head earlier when playing with a buddy is the right-stick passing of Total Control. It's a good concept, given how flaky the decision making of the pass is. My idea is what if the same concepts can be applied to defense switching? Right-stick man switching on defense because I can get confused when the ball gets passed around and the "switch to player nearest to ball" does not switch to the player nearest to ball or rather it switches where the ball was.

One thing they should also consider is hard shooting fouls . Since supposedly holding down Turbo+Block supposedly does an "Aggressive Block". However I've noticed that the blocker lamely jumps and puts up his hand. What I suggest is, if you do an Aggressive Block and that player's block rating is not high, to trigger a shooting foul because of "aggressiveness" on the part of the defender. Tell me if this is a good idea

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

ok, this issue is really starting to get on my nerves and it's close to a game-breaker depending on how often it happens - i'm talking about the bizarre behavior of off-ball help defenders.

you know what i'm talking about...your off-ball teammates just randomly running away from their man and leaving him wide open on the perimeter...or one of your off-ball teammates leaving their man to attempt a block on an offensive player who is 10 feet away, thus leaving their man wide open....and these things happen even when i have my teammates set to "deny ball", and have the coach's help defense slider, double team slider, and defensive pressure slider all set to zero....even with all of these settings, my teammates still just run away from their defensive assigment like they've been possessed by some blind, moronic demon. the defensive settings are so broken it's ridiculous..."deny ball" means that he should NEVER leave that man open to help on defense...EVER...i don't know how this issue made it into the game and how it still hasn't been fixed, but i hope by 2k13 they will have it ironed out.

in 2k11, if you noticed your AI teammates leaving their man too much to help on defense, you could go into the defensive settings and set them to "deny ball"...in 2k11, this would fix the problem and they would stop leaving their defensive assignment...but in 2k12, they just ignore your defensive settings and continue to leave their man anyway.

this issue alone is why i refuse to play online...because i can tolerate losing due to my own mistake, but i can't stomach losing because my dumb AI teammates keep running around and leaving their man wide open. i might throw my TV out the window, and i don't want to take that chance...i have completely avoided online this year because of this moronic teammate AI.


the game needs a big revamp in how it handles "help defense." the game needs to be better at recognizing when it's appropriate to come over and help on defense...i'm sick of my point guard leaving his man and running all the way across the court to help on a player who is already being guarded. the game needs to be better at recognizing when the ball hanlder is being guarded, and when he's a "threat to score"...if the ball hanlder is already being guarded and he's not in position to get an open shot, then the game should know not to send over help defenders....AI defenders need to STICK TO THEIR MAN..they should only leave their man if they are within a few feet of the ball handler, and if the ball handler is actually open. it's so annoying when the ball handler isn't even open and he's just doing sizeups, but game sends a help defender sprinting over as if the ball handler is wide open. all he was doing were sizeups...he wasn't even open - no need for a help defender there...sigh.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

They should have crew leagues like online association where you can put a squad together, make a league and have a schedule and playoffs/ finals that would make the experience even better and all the awards for top players, now that will be a game worth buying IMO.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

NBA 2k12 is an amazing game for the most part. The vast amount of legends is amazing... but 2k13 would be a even BETTER if:

Passing was more accurate: the ability to do no look passes and flashy if you wanted to e.g by holding RT/R1(obviously if your pass rating is low the accuracy will decrease)...even players like Chris Paul cant pass

Defence: In NBA 2k12 playing offence is really fun but on defence NBA 2k12 is not realistic...its sluggish and every player shuffles the same way and the exact same speed... there should be more realism in contact and fouls

My Player Defence: The AI still doesnt play good enough defence (theres been an improvement from before the patch to after that patch) regardless of teammate chemistry. Also when you create your my player the customizaton on offence is crazy e.g drifter,leaner etc.... but on defence theres no customization In 2k13 It would be cool to customize your defensive stance and your defensive shuffle etc.

Ankle Breakers: On offense when you do an alley-oop the commentators make a big deal.. but when you ankle break someone the commentators barely say anything...if they did it would add more realism

My Player: If my player added little things like: changing the wingspan of your player, commentators talking about your playing style e.g if your a center and your playing style is more european e.g taking threes commentators could talk about how you mold with the team. Also your my player has the same accent no matter where your my player (btw I'm from the UK) and it would be good if 2k had my player different accents e.g Hispanic, Southern-America e.g Georgia, Caucasian British etc. Also the Nicknames could improve e.g if my name was Joe Patterson my nickname could be JP as well as a preset 2k one the commentators could say 'JP A.K.A Rain Man'. you can taunt when you make a clutch shot and you could choose your taunt by editing your Myplayer in FIFA the celebration variety is crazy and in comparison 2K is not in the same league. I love 2k and I REALLY wish 2k can in the future implement this into 2k13 this arent MASSIVE suggestions just the little things God Bless

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Make it not suck this time

[blues rocker]

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

alleyoop passes are frustrating...most of the time the alleyoop pass is thrown way too high and arcs way up over the back board...because of this high arc, it also makes the pass too slow, which allows defenders to catch up and swat it away...the alleyoop passes should be lower and more "straight" rather than taking this slow, high arcing path.

here are also too many times where the guy receiving the alleyoop is in perfect position and the ball just bounces right off his hands...there are way too many blown alleyoops that are perfectly thrown...95 percent of alleyoop passes are caught if they are thrown right into the player's hands and there are no defenders around.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

As others have said get rid of the dumb canninmations, especially that stupid one scoop lay up that most of the real players never do. and that other stupid one where a player drives falls on the ground and does a ******** fist pump regardless if he even made the basket or not. and when a player helps others up they always look mad or something. when you deflect the ball out of bounds it always seem that it's the players fault for making it go out of bound by showing the coach's reaction (IMO).
The reaction has to be more quick. like one time when KG made an and one, it took like 2 seconds for him to react. it just looks so unnatural.
Graphics wise i was kind of disappointed because the quality of player's face downgraded imo. (i play on PC) also the skin textures look like NBA Live 2006 and has that coat of oil. I don't mind that PC players dont get shadow like console but when 2k makes the players look so much more crappy then needed then its just really irritating.
Gameplay: as many of y'all said, get rid of the slipperyness and that layup animation that can't be blocked. also lessen the suction when driving in. almost all the time when i drive in with a guard, most of the time they'll get blocked. unrealistic. make players have high arc floaters. also for the eurostep made it freaking unusable. i'm a Celtic fan and watching rondo eurostepping and finishing most of the time without getting block is what we need. also whenever he goes left, almost always he'll finish with his right hand so 2k needs to add that in. contact/foul is horrible.
Accesories: glad they added a lot of accessories and fixed the glitch but it was kind of unorganized, and just a long list. it doesnt really bother me but it could be shorter.
all in all 2k12 downgraded so much, and expected a lot of things. but im not too hyped for 2k13.
