Some improvements for teamup.

- You see how everyone has like pro , all star , and stuff. under that there should be like a "title" , which you earn by achieving certain things during games. For example if you've gotten mvp 50 times then you would earn the title "MVP" and it would show when you entered games or if you've gotten 100 assists then you would a title like "Skilled Passer" or something like that.

-Players that are all star , superstar , or hall of fame , should get the best players on a team and give the other players to other users. Like lets say you get Pheonix Suns only the user with the highest level should control Steve Nash that way you would avoid less ballhogs.

- Have some actual public lobbies!. where you can invite people to them , and see everyone elses stats.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Even though the commentary in 2K games are the best in sports games ever, they still could use some love. Personally I'd love less long conversations about players and teams (ie "James Harden is a smooth offensive player") and more um "generated" phrases like "%player% has %number% rebounds in this game now". There are some phrases like this already but there should be more.
The problem with conversations about players and teams is that after 5 games you become bored of listening to the same sentence and after 30 games they stop talking about them at all so the commentators are quiet for long periods of time.

So I'd love more of phrases like:
x has got y points, that's his season high already
x is shooting y % from the field this year and that's worse than the last season by z
x is y of z from the 3 pt line

Commentary like this would be more interesting than listening to the same fact 25 times in a row.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

2K12 was really good but here are a few things I would like to see in 13.
-heat check by pressing up on the d pad, similar to 11
-the 2k cam from 11
-controller/screen shaking during late game free throws on the road when it's close
-a passing system similar to ch2k8 I.E. option to bounce, lob, or chest pass
-different buttons for PnR, PnP, and PnS
-find a medium between 11 & 12 for staying in front of ball handlers while on D
-option to turn off halftime show
-have pre season show, weekly wrap up show similar to ch2k8
-I loved the detail that was put into legends showcase! Why not give us an option of playing games using the different eras presentations xD
-sliders for MP
-option to approve/disapprove Cpu to Cpu trades
-option to watch Cpu games that come down to the last shot
-something similar to EAs greatest game feature in its NCAA football series
-just once in a blue moon it'd would narly to watch a backboard shatter after a thunderous dunk, like once a season if that.
-introductions for playoff games!

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

1.) Rate players' attributes with the intent to create realistic season stats, instead of just throwing numbers together to get a desired OVR rating.

There's a few things that go into this one. First, we know it's possible to get accurate season stats in most categories if you know how the game mechanics interpret individual ratings, as most of the good roster creators on OS have done so by creating formulas using real NBA stats. If unpaid "amateurs" can do this, there's absolutely no excuse for the professionals not to. But in some categories (blocks, passing, INS shot) even at 99 there is no way to get realistic numbers for the top guys in the league. This needs to be addressed. 2k should be testing to make sure the game mechanics allow things like 3+ BPG, 12+ APG, and 75% SP at the rim. Also speed and quickness ratings need a complete overhaul. If Rajon Rondo is in front of everyone on a fastbreak, bigs like Tyson Chandler should absolutely not be able to run them down and get a block or contest the shot.

Now 2k, before you say, "But ballsohard, most of our sales come from casual gamers. If we rate the players the way you suggest, they might not have as much fun." I have an answer for that. Create the sliders with each style of gameplay in mind. Keep casual as the default and let casual gamers cheese their little hearts out, but (more importantly) make the simulation sliders actually play like an NBA game and create realistic stats. Just be sure to let us choose the sliders we would like to use online. It would have to be set pregame and used by both players. It could be one of the options you select when setting up the game, like quarter length. That way even online people who want to cheese can play others who like to cheese, and people who want to play simulation basketball can play others who want the same thing.

2.) Let the users swap jerseys and change team colors for said jerseys in game.

Give us the same options that hex editors have. It is absolutely ridiculous that we have to rely on hex editing to make the game look the way we want. There should be a "Manage Jerseys" section in the menu. In this section we should have the option for switching one jersey for another, changing the team colors for each jersey, changing headband colors, changing sock colors, changing length of shorts worn, and changing the way the jersey fits (how loose/tight, v-neck/normal cut). And if this is added, please don't only give us one or two variations of each color to choose from. In my opinion we should get a color chart like this one (see image below in spoiler tags) and also the option to just type in a hex code for colors.

Spoiler

In 2k12, some teams come with an insane amount of jersey slots, while others only have 3. If we had the option of swapping jerseys, 5 slots would be plenty for each team. The default could be current home and away, secondary, and one home and away retro jersey. Then if users chose to they swap them out for jerseys they unlock either in game or threw DLC. This would also allow 2k to not have to make promises they can't keep, in terms of jersey updates, because we could do it all ourselves. Once again, we should also have all of these jersey customization options online as well.

3.) Give us every jersey ever worn in the NBA through a Retro Jersey DLC.

I'm normally not a fan of DLCs, as I feel I shouldn't have to pay more for additional content that should have been in the game from the beginning. But with that said, I realize programming that many jerseys into the game is a lot of work, and if there was ever anything I'd be willing to spend an extra ten bucks on, it'd be this. I'm sure the majority of people would feel the same way, as long as you added my previous suggestion of jersey customization.

4.) When calling plays for a player, we should be able to select which play-type we would like to call (without eliminating all other play-types from that player mid-game).

This is a quick fix, but it would make a world of difference in gameplay, in my opinion. When calling plays it should go like this: Hit LB/L1, choose which player you want to call play for, then that players play-types show up and you choose one, then only plays with that play-type show up. Now while this does add one "extra button" press, even someone playing the game for the very first time knows what type of play they are calling. It would also cut down the pages we would have to sift through to get to one of the plays that's near the back of the playbook for the users that know what they are looking for.

5.) Bring back Quick Plays for all players, or at least allow us to change recipients of the quick plays in game.

This is another quick fix that would make a world of difference to gameplay. In the past, we were able to hit the quick plays button, choose the player we want to run one for, than have all available QP options for that player. In my opinion, this should be brought back. But if for some reason it can't be brought back without taking something away, give us the option to change recipients of the quick plays in the coaches profile. Having it predetermined and locked in by tendencies seems foolish and doesn't allow the user to have a realistic NBA experience.

6.) Give the user more control over passing.

We should be able to control the type of pass we want to use (bounce, chest, lob over the top of defender) and speed/strength of the pass. I'm not sure on an exact solution for this, but incorporating pressure-sensitive button presses and LT/L2 modifier button would be a great start.

If all of these suggestions are implemented and 2k12's glitches are fixed, 2k13 would be the best basketball video game of all time and restore fans' faith in the franchise. In closing, I hope I articulated my thoughts well enough to express what I'm looking for, as I'm quite tired. But if anyone from 2k sees this and has any questions, I'm more than willing to answer anything via PM.

Also, I'd love it if there was a third team color slot.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Speed is broken in 2K12, it should be fixed since it's a an integral part of Basketball. Player speed and agility should work, the same as fastbreaks.

On the other hand, speed should be balanced out with proper defensive AI, so that the game doesn't turn out to be too "arcadey".

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

The timeout logic in this game is AWFUL. A lot of times the CPU will go on a 10-0 run, and then once you score they call a timeout. Even yesterday when I was playing the CPU went on a run, turned the ball over, and called timeout.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

In depth stats

Like for team stats, Show me the opponents fg%, def/off rebounding/, steals, blks like how they had it in CH2k8

Show me a list of leading scorers/rebounders etc in NBA history not just who's number 1. I would want to see where my guy ended his career at on the list, how much further he has to go till he's passes up Larry Bird or whoever. Show us the leader in team history. Retire players like Lebron, Wade, Durants numbers.

Show me players 2pt% in the paint % where I shoot the best at on the court

Coaching
Coaches should have a bigger role

Look at a coach like Mike D'antoni an offense genius with little to no care about defense because they were going to go out and outscore you every night. When he's coaching younger players should develop offensively at a faster rate while defensively they should develop more slowly

While under a coach like Tom T. they should develop faster on defensive while offense develops slowly

Under Pops they should develop awareness and understanding of the game

It'd kinda be like player roles but for coaches like Offense, Defensive, Balanced, Cerebral, Athletic.

During Season
Instead of development which allows you to develop 2 maybe 3 players at a fast rate you should have drills you assign your player to every week/month or so

You should be able to have players gain or lose weight
Like a player like Carmelo. Lets say you wanted him to lose like 10 pounds over the next like month or 2 he should lose some strength but gain quickness or lets say you draft a PF and you want to make him a better post up player and you say lets put on 15 over such and such time. He'd gain strength, durablity and shot in traffic but lose quickness and vertical

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE FIXED!!!:

sometimes this game just isn't playable being of all the things that are abusable.

Fix the Cheese: Spin layups, up and under, ALLEY-OOPS!!! i'd rather have it taking it out of the game than being the way it is right now

Stamina HAS TO PLAY A ROLE!!! holding down that RT(R2) button should have it's consequences if used too much, Worse shooting %, slower players running and defensively.

CHARGES, taking a charge before the half court line just isn't realistic.

BLACKTOP either get it right or get rid of it, 3 point contest, slamdunk contest(I don't care about it but some do) 1 on 1 to 5 on 5 should all be available, horse?
the 21 was pretty fun too

MORE Customobility, Changing players ages(why was this removed in the first place) MORE hairstyles(THIS IS A MUST), more tatoos, more everything in create a player, arena for my team. Changing in game players(why can't we do this)

BRING BACK CREW MODE!!!

[Amedu]

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

2K IF YOU DO BRING BACK CREW HERE ARE SOME TIPS:
Better looking jerseys and better jersey customization: If someone creates a crew let them have the option of putting their team moniker on the front of their jerseys with font customization making it look like a proper jersey

Font and number customization: Different types of font and lettering would greatly be needed as this would add more realism to the mode

Hacked My Player Detector: If someones my player is a point guard over 6'8 that has rapidly become 99 OVR over days or weeks they should detect that it is a hacked my player therefore they should not be allowed to play online with there my player same goes to centers over 7'5 etc.

Create-A-Logo Mode & : This would allow people to create custom team logos which would add more realism

These are just suggestions feel willing to add God Bless

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I thought the ability to jump the scorer's table was a really nice touch this year (in addition to other player-to-crowd interactions). However, in my experience there has been virtually no possibility of triggering these interactions by accident. When a loose ball is caroming toward the scorer's table and my player is giving chase, it seems a prime "table jumping" animation could be forthcoming. Instead, the moment the ball crosses the sideline, my player comes to an uncontrollable stop, preventing any sort of "chase" animation.

I propose users maintain control of their players for a moment or two after the whistle. This would allow users to take advantage of the invisible boundary removal. Further, it'd allow players to continue defending in the case of a foul on a shot in progress. In previous iterations, once a whistle is blown, the user is often no longer able to control their defensive players, leaving the offensive player in the process of attempting an and-1 as the only "live" guy on the floor.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Get rid of 2k Insider and find a way for the fans to upload the rosters....2k can just approve the rosters that are being uploaded by the fans. That way we can have proper ratings, tendencies and updated accessories.

I guess we can put up voting system on what roster is best? There's definitely going to be plenty of controversy/debate on who's roster is best but hey you can't go wrong if they have it more closer to life compared to 2k insiders.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Association

1. Playable training camp to start the Association

• Give us the ability to form a twenty man roster consisting of undrafted rookies, free agents, and our contract players. The objective would be to run drills for conditioning and skill set improvement, also to familiarize players with the offense and defense. Later cuttings players who aren't fits.

2. During the season have meaningful practices

• Practices should be about going the last game and preparing for next opponent. Rehabbing injured players working out late free agents signing etc.

3. In season scouting/NBA.com

• As the scouts we should be able to create a target list of possible draft prospects. We should get weekly updates from our scouts about their latest big board, draft stock, college and international stats, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Also there should be a section in nba.com that has draft information like espn.com. This should be a drafting tool for the guys who aren’t into the scouting aspect. Also prospects should have their class freshman, sophomore…

4. Pre-draft scouting process

• The Portsmouth Invitational 64 best NCAA senior draft prospects in the country it’s an 8-team, 12-game tournament held over a four-day period. April 11th to April 14th. (Jimmy Butler, Landry Fields, and Jeremy Lin are some alum)

• Draft Combine the interviews, measurements, and athletic testing. The combine is drill based, there are no scrimmages. June 6th to 8th in Chicago.

• Pre-draft Workouts there is usually about 6 players going through various drills in a team’s practice facility. Lottery picks usually workout alone.

• ADIDAS Euro Camp is where international talent show their talents in front of NBA GMs. We should be able to watch and play with up and coming NBA prospects, seeing whose got potential. It’s like the draft combine but with scrimmages and daily culminating all-star games. Not all who attend declare for the draft, so there should be guys who attend the next year.

5. Draft

• After you draft euros you should be able to have a option to keep them overseas “draft and stash”. While you will be updated on their progress by your player scout. Prospects should be able to withdraw their names from the draft.

6. Summer League

• As the GM we should be able to put together the summer league team.
• Orlando has the east coast team and Las Vegas has west coast teams, but we should be able to scout all games. Stats and evaluations should be kept.

7. Lebron James Skills Academy

• This camp is a collection of the best high school and college talent. 60 or so guys, but they’d have to eliminate the hs player, and just have elite fr, so, jr, sr college guys. This is another drill and scrimmage event. Measurements would be taken to see growth in the prospects.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

More reach in fouls, less steal success online.

More velocity to passing, less bobbling the ball. Very unrealistic animation, that one.

Some accountability in team up mode. Like highest average teammate grade gets best player, quitting a match=automatic F. Feels like a great game mode is almost ruined since everyone just quits if they don't get a star.

[TalenT]

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

What ever happened to the thing in earlier 2K's where when the away team was shooting free throws, if you pressed a button the fans behind the basket would wave balloons(?) or something to distract the shooter? That was cool and a nice small touch. Bring that back.
