Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Crazy idea I just had: in My Player, the option to go up to a teammate during timeouts and tell them to take open jumpers more, take it to the hole more, pass more, play more help D, or stick with their man. Younger players and players with laid back personalities would be more receptive to listen to you, but vets and unpredictable personalities would be more resistant. Their response is indicated by nodding in agreement or waving you off. You do it too much to someone who doesn't agree, and they'll start yelling and will try to freeze you out in the game. Your teammate chemistry and your status(role player, starter, or star) will play a part in if they agree or not. Every time they agree, their tendency to, say, take open jumpers more will go way up for like four games. It will also up their tendency in that category 5-10% for the rest of the year so if you continue to tell someone to shoot every couple of games, they'll be more apt to firing it up.

All those times when a teammate doesn't take an open jumper in MP? With this feature you can have a say in it. You don't do anything in timeouts anyway, so this would give you something to do if you want to. Also: it would be great if we could button out of timeouts immediately after they are called. They only last like ten seconds, but when you play the game a lot it gets kind of annoying to wait through them every time.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Hopefully the 2k Devs take a look at this because this is a big gripe that I have about the game.

Please, please, please, for 2k13.......do not let the defensive users movement dictate the offensive players movement. I want to be able to move freely around the court with random animations being played out due to the defensive input.

Too many times when I'm playing online for an example, I could just be crossing half court and the user will run up to me and press the steal button and one foot will move back across the court as if I'm going in a protect the ball stage and I'll get a back court violation. Now I did not want this movement at all, it just registers on its own when they press the steal button and I make I movement I didn't want.

Then you have the ride the back animation. I'm sorry 2k but if I blow past someone in the open court and they are behind me, they should not be able to press the steal button and suck me back to them and put me in the ride the back attempt the steal animation. Once someone is beat there beat, unless they out run me and cut me off at an angle. That ride the back animation you have is a FOUL!!!! 100% of the time.

Next you have the users that run all around the court like a chicken with their head cut off just mashing the steal button. And people may not realize this but by them doing that it effects the offensive players movements tremendously. Feels like your in quick sand (Thats without the lag), and you can barely move, it's like a struggle to move around the court when they are doing this because your moving according to their input as well. And it becomes really herky jerky.

If someone reaches in, I should be able to cross them and go right by them, their input shouldn't dictate how I move first. It's very irritating and it needs to be addressed immediately.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I wrote to Ronnie last yr on Twitter and he responded he agreed but nothing. I would like to see during Full timeouts for the players to sit on the bench and the coaches come out on the floor and during 20s obviously how they are now. Also idk if its even possible and Im sure its been mentioned a million times but if you are in a assocation or online one, allow updates to the players, new players in the game, trades whatever the case may be rather than having to start over if you want the updates.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Either have Jordan's free-throw dunk as something you can do in a dunk contest, or completely get rid of it. It should not EVER happen in a game, because NO ONE will EVER do it in a freaking game. This is supposed to be sim, right? I shouldn't have a guy take 1 or 2 steps and be able to jump from the FT line.

Also, get rid of the dribbling combos or whatever they are called, sometimes, I just want my guy to switch hands, but no, he switches hands and then he goes into some crossover that I have no control of and bam, back into the original hand, where I didn't want it.

Same thing goes for when I start a sprint and the ball is in my left hand, why does he HAVE to cross over? My guy is right handed, but I'm pretty sure every guard in the NBA can dribble to his off-hand side, at least a little bit.

God, there are SO many things about the gameplay that completely kill this game and only a few good things that make it worth playing at all...

I thought 2K11 did a good job with Jordan's free throw line dunk. For the most part, it was pretty tough to pull off. This year though, MJ's bouncing from the line all over the place. I understand he never pulled it off in-game, but it was a fun ode when it could be busted out on rare occasions in 2K11 (almost like a game secret).

With that said, people will dunk from the free throw line in-game at some point. We're probably still a ways off from Jordan's famous pose, but even Samuel Dalembert has dunked from just about that distance.

Agree it shouldn't happen that often as in 2K12.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I think this would be worth putting into 2k13:

Sometimes you don't want, or don't have time to play 12 min quarters in association mode. So there is an option to change the amount of min played for user controlled teams. BUT, if you really like association mode and want to go for a scoring title or something, it's way harder to do because you're competing against teams that play simulated 12 min quarters.

I'm proposing that 2k make an option that lets you decide how long the computer simulated games last. That way instead of scoring 100+ points a game, they're scoring 50-60 points a game along side the user controlled teams.

Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Yeah I knew someone was going to drop that link. I should have known it'd be you, ha.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

How about the ability to intentionally miss free throws? As in, throw it at the rim to have it come back at you, for when you're down by a couple of points with a few seconds left in the game.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Something small and unimportant, but I will continue to request it, simply because of the self-satisfaction of knowing I got through to 2K, as with anything I asked them to add in previous NBA2K titles. Anyways, I'm asking you, 2Ksports, to simply allow us to walk around in the backcourt, and or switch our positions around the free throw box(the key), during or between free throws.

Oh, and another thing, don't ever take out My Player, nor My Player Pick-up games. That puzzled and aggravated me when I found out we could no longer play the Pick-up games. I'm not gonna get into crew, but yall know already, so just bring em back.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

NBA live had allstar weekend then took it out. So do something smart and Give us the real NBA ALLSTAR WEEKEND. Go back to NBA 2k11 and use that as a starting place.

NBA ALLSTAR WEEKEND

Bring back myplayer teamup

Better soundtrack artist not no name people you never heard of but real artist.

Better passing and shooting

Make the association mode better for offline

Take that stupid veto trade off of online association cause league owners in real life can't veto trades unless the NBA owns you so take it out

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

NBA GM/owner mode:
•Keep track of your revenue each year

•Change your team name or colors and court design

•Build a new arena in the same city and decide everything from food courts, luxury boxes, etc.(Like Madden)

•If you can't get enough attendance you should be able t break your lease and
move to a new city
•There should be about 40-50 cities to choose from and relocate there

•You should be able to keep your name and logos if you want when you move

What do you guys think?

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Commentary for significant milestones and records. It's very disappointing in MyPlayer mode when the commentators do not reference milestones or records being broken (whether team or league). Would it be that difficult to include a few additional lines of commentary regarding broken records and referencing the historic moments? It would definitely add more depth when you get deep into the mode, especially when some stars are retiring 5 years into it.

Retired players as coaches! This would be sooo easy and extend the life of Association mode! I feel like you could add the stat category "Basketball IQ" and relate that to their potential success as a coach after players retire. You could even translate Offensive/Defensive Awareness to their offensive/defense grades as coaches. It would be awesome to be able to hire Steve Nash/Chauncey Billups/Brian Scalabrine as a coach after they retire.
