Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

They need to have Team Colour 1, Team Colour 2, Team Colour 3. Eg. Boston Celtics have white for team 1 and 2 for home, meaning on the shoes they are all white, no green like how Rondo and Pierce wear their shoes. Using custom colours hurts when any player gets traded then their shoes dont match their traded team colours.

You should be allowed to overlap some accessories. Like when P.Pierce wears a forearm band over a black elbow sleeve.

BRING BACK CREW

[Nathan_OS]

Bring back 2k5 association style. Hoopcast sucks. And sometimes I don't feel like playing the full 48 mins

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I'd like to see more tip-ins offensively that aren't dunks. Guys like Zaza Pachulia, Joel Anthony, and other "garbage men" type bigs get their points off tip-ins, but most of the time they aren't dunks, they are simple taps. So I'd like to see more of these in the game and less tip dunks.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

2K needs rebounding attributes this is in response to a thread I saw about rebounding.

They either need more ratings or specific rebounding attributes sort of like the type of jumpers

Hustle rebounder: Kevin Love is a hustle rebounder. He just out hustles most guys especially on the offensive boards. Varejo will fall in the category, Humphries. These guys just have a different motor while others are standing around they are hustling.

Tip out artists: Varejo he is very good at hustling and then tipping it out a lot of people do it but I notice he does it well.

Positional rebounders/box out specialist: These are the boxout specialists. They don't have to have extreme verticals. Zach Randolph, , Marc Gasol, Perkins, Love, Howard to name a few they are the ones that are just very strong and can keep people out of their area. The closest reference is blocking in football

Athlethic rebounders: These are people that rely on their verticals mainly to get rebounders. Most guards and wings fall into this category but also players like Deandre Jordan fall into this category, Howard can do this as well. They are also quick second jumpers.

If you look at the great rebounders in real life they do fall in more than one category which makes them great rebounders. Howard can can use boxout skills and athlethism. Love can use hustle and great boxing out to get boards. I would love to see the game resemble this. Most guards get rebounds by long rebounds tipped out by somebody or quick shots and get very rare rebounds by just running and jumping over everybody else.

i like the idea of tip-out rebounds....this is a part of basketball that 2k hasn't incorporated yet.

Yeah. Long rebounds and tip-out rebounds would be nice to see.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

on offense i'd like to see smarter off-ball movement by AI teammates - meaning they should know when to stay put on the perimeter and when to make a cut. too often my off-ball teammates just make poor cuts, or they try to cut to the hoop when there is no opening. when i'm controlling the ball handler and I'm moving around, driving etc...AI teammates aren't good enough at recognizing open spots on the court - they should move to areas that put them in the best position to score. or when i'm dribbling toward them, they should clear out of the way rather than blocking my path or running directly into me. or, if you are cutting toward the hoop, your teammates should move out of the paint to open it up.

one annoying behavior I've noticed is when the paint is crowded with players, one of my guards will often cut toward the hoop and run into the crowd. what good does that do? he would've been better off just staying on the perimeter...but instead he came into the paint and made it even more crowded, which just makes things worse. off-ball teammates should be better at recognizing when there is an open cutting lane and when there is a cluster of players in the way.

another example - if a guy is wide open on the perimeter but he's not a good 3 pt shooter, he should not camp behind 3 point line...he should move a bit closer to the hoop so that when you pass to him he will be within his shooting range. it doesn't do me any good to have a bad 3 pt shooter standing around the 3 pt line.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

This is Pt.2 to My List.

My Player

- The teammate grade meter is too sensitive, It picks on everything you do. I mean how am I going to have a good amount of points with some rebounds and assist and have a bad team grade. I hate the teammate grade thing. Please get rid of teammate grade, and go off stats

- The press conference are so boring and repetitive. They need to do something about. Ask more interesting questions, ask more than one question, have other players talk. Make it more real. Also it seems like everything you say has a negative feedback from either the fans, the league, or the local fans. Thats annoys, it seem like you can do nothing right.

- I think they need to change skill points to time spent in the gym. You always hear the players say that they got better because they spent countless hours in the gym. I know they have drills, but how long do the drills last 2minutes. You should be able to spend how much time you want in the gym, getting better. Also please dont make us earn gym time because real nba players dont have to.

- Players dont go from bum to unstoppable beast. Players go from having raw talent to beast. Thats goes back to my problem with skill points.Please have us start at a 70 ovr.. with Ex. LeBron

-In my player, I think shooting should be based off shot timing, correct form, shot selection. Rebounding should be about positioning and determination for th ball. Making contested lay-ups should be based off strength. Just because my lay-up rating is low doesnt mean should miss wide open layups. What Im trying to say is that the skill point and rating system mean to much. Become a better basketball player requires practice, skills, strength, and determination. Skill points system doesnt reflect that.
Thats it for now.

Gameplay

- Add Brandon Jennings two hand off two feet break away dunk for all the small point guards with hops.

- The steal aninamation. Some of the steal animations need to be fixed. Especially in my player when your playing pass lanes and you do some slow ******** animation and totally miss the ball. Also the logic of the steals you do, the oppostion will be doing over head pass and you'll go for a steal as if the where doing a bounce pass. They need to fix that.

I hope they bring sweat back.

[Nathan_OS]

Also take out the repetitive pump faking by the a.i

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

- i hope this year 2k finally works on improving their camera angles. on most the of camera angles, the camera moves around too much to follow the ball and thus cuts off large portions of the court - for example, on the 2k cam - when the ball moves to the right side of the court, the entire left side of the court is cut off from view. i might have a teammate over there who is wide open, but i can't see him, so i'll never know. it would make a big difference if the camera could be made be more stationary so you can see the whole court even when the ball moves to one side or into the paint. it's also annoying when the ball moves into the paint and the camera follows the ball and cuts off the perimeter from view...you might have open players on the perimeter, but you can't see them ( and this is even with "paint zoom" turned off ). one solution would be to just add more zoom options to the camera so we can choose to zoom the camera out more to reveal more of the court....or you can create more alternate cameras which are more stationary and show the whole court at all times (like a "stationary" version of the 2k cam). maybe you could add a setting in the camera options to turn off "left to right" camera movement, so the camera will always stay centered rather than moving left and right to follow the ball.

i really don't know what the benefit is to having the camera move around to follow the ball...it seems like they're just trying to make the game look more fancy by having the camera move around so much...i'd rather just have a simple "no frills" stationary camera that actually allows me to see the court and see my teammates. "good view of the court" should be the first priority for all camera angles...not fancy camera movement.

one more annoying thing...i've noticed that if you turn off "camera flip" on the 2k cam, when you are on defense the camera is behind the opponent's hoop...this is a good camera angle for playing defense, but the problem is that the camera focuses too much on the perimeter and cuts off the entire paint area....it seems as if no one at 2k even bothered to try all of their camera angles and settings to see if they are actually useable. 2k needs to go through all of their camera angles and make sure they give a good view of the court on all of the various settings (whether its the standard angle or reverse angle - a lot of times the reverse angle would be nice, but it doesn't show you enough of the court, thus it is rendered useless).


- i think it's about time in My Player we are finally given the ability to adjust the coach profiles and defensive settings...i enjoy my player at times, but the inability to adjust my teammates' behavior makes My Player too frustrating. if i could adjust their defensive settings and stop them from making bonehead mistakes, the mode would be much more enjoyable...sure, i know this goes against the concept of My Player, since you are only supposed to be in control of "your guy"....but i think it would just help to reduce the frustration that comes from dumb teammate rotations on defense.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Why not do something like what Madden did, where you can choose to relocate a team to a number of possible destinations? Why not make a list of 20 US cities, and 20 international cities you can move to. Allow the user to create the arena, from the floor logo, the color of the seats, etc. Let the user create jerseys, etc.

Also, revamp create-a-team.

Do what NHL12 did, where you can choose from a number of ANNOUNCED names for your team, as well as a number of ANNOUNCED city names. Let us design the stadium. It'd add so much more depth, having the team actually announced.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

My Player:

-for your teammate grade, when i make a shot, my grade should rise just as much as when i get an assist. i mean it just doesnt make sense that for scoring a basket you don't get your grade up, i mean thats what basketball is all about, putting the ball in the hoop.

-also about teammate grade, take out the "leave assignment" that subtracts your teammate grade. i understand 2k put it in to stop cherry picking, but come on, if i try to go play help D on somebody driving or posting up, i lose my teammate grade because i left my guy. maybe make it so the only way you get "leave assignment" is if you are behind the halfcourt line cherry picking, not when you are up playing help D

-for the love of god, give us more hair styles! and more facial hair. i mean right now the only hairstyles that look okay are dark stubble, med stubble, short stubble, i guess afro and cornrows if your into that kinda thing, and short flat. the rest are ugly! just let us pick the hair from current NBA players

-Home/Away accessories. what if i wanna wear a black arm sleeve on the road and a white one at home? or team color 1 Hex Pads on the road and team color 2 at home, we should be able to pick home/away for accessories, like we can with shoes.

-add more shoes, i feel like there are hardly any Joradans to choose from this year, a lot of Nikes, which is nice, but keep adding more.

-if your going to have press conferences, then make them better. ask us 2 or 3 questions. also if we are playing really well, like have a great stat line at the half, interview us before we go into the locker room, like they do in real life.

-Let us talk to our GM when we want a trade, have us set up a meeting with him and talk to him about where we want to go, have him ask why we are leaving and maybe have him offer us something to make us stay.

-let us choose voices, im tired of hearing this same one for every player regardless of race, in both 2k11 and 2k12.

-i heard this in a video the other day, its a good idea. let us choose when we create our player, what kind of personality he is. let us choose if he is Cocky, Loyal, Professional, Humble, Full of himself, etc. so a guy like Iverson or Shaq would be cocky or sarcastic, and when he answered something arrogant or cocky in the press conference, his stuff would go up, because thats who they are and thats why people like them. or like Durant would be humble or professional, he doesnt say much, he just keeps to himself, tells what needs to be told, and doesnt add in drama. and a guy like Kobe would be full of themselves, they think they are all that and the most important player alive. and so if you answer like your personality that you chose, things will most likely go up, especially local fan support. but if you are cocky and you answer humble, there is more of a chance things will go down

-i would like to see flagrant fouls on hard fouls, because it is part of basketball. but this will never happen because the NBA wants a good image. same with Technical fouls, i think we should be able to argue calls with the refs and depending on what our emotion or other ratings are, we might get them to call a foul, or get a tech called. again though, this will never happen because the NBA doesnt want a bad image.

-let us practice free throws in a shoot around. i mean, if im trying to find a new one that i can hit consistently, there is no way of practicing it until the game.

-fix the draft bug that makes it so draft order goes in alphabetical order. this makes me feel guilty if i play with the 76ers, bobcats, bucks, etc. past year 2, and makes it so the teams at the bottom, suns, trailblazers, timberwolves, wizards, etc. never get young talent from the draft. this makes it so really the only teams you can play on past year 2 or 3 are the grizzlies-pacers

-give us full access to the calendar like in association. we should be able to click on a game and sim to it. whether it is a key game or not, we should be able to sim to it. i dont have time to play every game and make it through multiple years, so i play key games a lot. but lets say right in the middle of the key games, there is a Lakers game. and being a an avid Laker-*****, i wanna play it and beat the crap outta them, i cant because there is noway to sim to that game just to play them, i have to instead play all the games leading up to it, and i play 12 min Q's so thats rough.



Thats about all i can think of for now.
