Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

And instead of just having that rookie showcase game, have like "March Madness" games prior to the showcase game like NCAA does with their Campus Legend mode.

I don't how it was in 2K11, but in 2K12 I was drafted with 14th overall pick but Houston still had their "real" 14th overall pick on the roster. Smh.

And I wish they wouldn't have the exact draft as it was. Have teams draft on what they did in the "March Madness" tourney & the showcase game.

March madness has real problems. Getting NCAA rights to use it... It would just be a mess. Going to highschool is different for NCAA games, but going to NCAA? That's a problem.

Give David Stern the power to veto any trades or signings that make the Lakers championship contenders.

It would be pretty sim if major trades from NO to the Lakers where rejected.

Dribble in traffic rating: When you go into a contact animation when driving this rating will determine if you lose the ball, if you pick up your dribble, or stop your forward momentum. Guys with high ratings could keep some forward momentum and not pick up their dribble if the contact is soft. This rating would also determine how easy or hard it is to strip a player while he's driving.

Draft combine, summer league, and training camp in My Player: I mentioned in an older post that it would be great to have these back in the game, but make them all optional for those who just want to get to the NBA. Each mode would have an incentive to play them. Draft combine would get you more consideration for a higher pick in the draft that is normally very hard to get, like top 5 or even the #1 pick. Summer league could determine your minutes going into the season, and maybe 2 of the games will be 2x key games. Training camp could determine your minutes even further, and if you play out of your mind in summer league and camp you may start right away. It would also affect your team chemistry and 'coach chemistry', which I will get to. Training camp could be a mix of practice court and preseason games(with few people in the stands) to add variety.

Coach chemistry in My Player: Determines if you can call plays, if you can pick certain plays to put in the playbook, or if you can stay in the game when in foul trouble. Also, maybe every month if your rating is high enough you can make slight changes in the coaching profile. Sometimes I'm on a team that doesn't fastbreak, rebound, or defend much, and trusted players should be able to give their opinion to the coach in some capacity. This would be much harder to get to 100% than the other 'buzz' ratings, maybe two years.

Sim and default player progression in MP: I usually get my dude to 99% in about a season and a half, so maybe there could be an option at the start to have sim or default player progression. Sim would give you half the attribute points(maybe slightly less than half) after games, would take away some athletic points after injuries depending on the severity of the injury, and would have your athleticism decline every year after 33. It would add to the replay factor in MP for me because once I get to 99, even when I up the difficulty, I'm unstoppable out there and it gets boring to play.

Flick-flick shot rating: The Kobes and Zach Randolphs of the world would have no problem with pump fake up and unders, and the Chris Duhons of the world(who just did that to me in a game I just played) would fail miserably at it.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Explosiveness rating(First step or Triple threat would be fine)
HOW you play should affect your ratings, period. I think they should just trash skill points and go the route of NBA'08. If you played the passing lanes and got 3 steals, your speed and steal ratings should go up. and if you want to upgrade some other skills, you can practice. practice definitely needs to be a bigger feature. OK this next sugestion isnt realistic by any means, but i would LOVE to see MP mode turn into a free-roam sandbox game LOL. You have to drive to games on time and upgrade your popularity and eat and sleep and work out haha. Anyways, back on topic, A highlight show for MP and association similar to the "Extra Point" from Madden games. I would love to see C-Webb and The Glove "Rewind The Remix" one of my players alley oops!! More realistic progression/regresion in association. If a young player is ballin have his rating go up. Again, that goes back to my idea of play affecting ratings, not ratings affecting play. I definitely think you need your base ratings, AND a level at which you cant get worse or better(i.e Kobe shouldnt drop to a 79 cuz he misses a few shots)though. Oh and 1 more thing, Basketball IQ should mean something.*pants* Wheww i just had to get this stuff off my chest lol.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

real shoe colorways 2k go research them before you guys put them in the game certain shoes always have the same base color no matter which team wears them. also stop mirroring the shoes.

CREW please

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

1. Make playbooks and coach settings transferrable (load to usb) so you can load into another console, (without messing their playbook up) so you'll always can use your playbook where ever you go via friends, competition etc.!

2. Allow player to wear any and all shoes!

3. Bounce passing capability

4. More commentator statements like right between the eyes!, bang!, no reguard for human life etc.

5. Talk to mvp at end of game like nfl 2k5

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

well i play almost exclusivly my player, a little online, but mostly only my player. so thats what im pretty much gonna be talking about.

-more hairstyles. the ones in 2k12 are pretty much the same as 2k11 with like 2 new ones added. all they need to do is let us choose hairstyles from real players instead of the stupid looking ones they have now.

-make the blonde hairstyles actually blonde, not some off-yellow mustard colored hair.

-let us choose a secondary position or change a postition during our career. what if im a PG but few years in i decide i wanna play for the bulls. so i go there but wait rose is there. so i should be change to a 2 guard. or if i make a SG i should be able to set my secondary position to either PG or SF. what if my SG is like 6'4 or 6'3 or even smaller? im not gonna wanna be subbed in at SF against a 6'8 LBJ and get bullied, so let me set point guard as my secondary position

-i like that they added the option to only play key games. but lets take that even farther. make it so we can open up the calendar and pick what games we wanna play and what ones we wanna sim. just make it like association so we can click on the game on the calendar and pick sim to this date, play game, sim game, etc. for example i like playing the lakers because well i dont like kobe and its fun to beat him. but since i play for the knicks that is not a rival or key matchup(since im a PG) so its not a key game. therefor i either have to not play the lakers or play the non key games before them. it would jsut be much easier if we could pick what games to sim and what games to play

-Post game press conferences are a good idea, but unless your the miami heat there are not usually press conferences after every single game, atleast not to my knowledge. make the press conferences for key games only and playoff games, and for regular games make it post game interviews on the court or in the locker room or halftime interviews on the court.

-take the money even further. make us pay if we wanna change our hair, buy new shoes, get some tats, new accessories, etc.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Pass button that works- This is gonna be the year 2k! I can feel it! We're gonna be able to use the pass button! It'll go to the nearest guy in the direction we pass to! It'll be such a revelation that you'll use it as a major selling point. In big, bold font on the cover, right across Jordan's face it'll say: "The pass button works"! It will be beautiful!

All kidding aside, this thing does need to work. It worked on the first 2k on Dreamcast.

The 'stripping the ball during a jump shot' thing the cpu does isn't as common- It happens way to much and the canned animation for it initiates when the cpu defender is too far away.This needs to be more like a legitimate strip, like the steal animation should get in the way of the ball during a shot. It should only get stolen if its clean. Mostly it should be a foul.

Computer D is less like, well, a computer- We all know the D mirrors the player too much. It would be great if the D minicked playing people in real life a bit more. Even if you're playing a great 2k player, his movement on D is going to overshoot sometimes and he'll have to play catch up. It would also be awesome to see the cpu bite on fake passes and go flying five feet like a human does. Some of the steals they do are very difficult for a human. The mirror D would be great for HOF, but not anything else.

Getting juked on a crossover only happens if you actually get juked- The ankle breaker animation should only occur if you actually pressed the oposite direction as the guy is going, and only if you're playing intense D(L2 + R2).

Hands up animation more responsive- Its nice that we have this as an alternative to blocking, but it usually occurs a split second after the right stick is moved. It really needs to happen immediately; the jump shooter ain't gonna wait for you to get your hands up. Also, we should be able to do a quick bunny-hop block if we press the block button while doing this. This should also be immediate.

No delay on turbo for 90+ quickness players- In general, their are quite a few animations that should have more immediate responses to button commands. Chief among them: the turbo button. Explosive players are not explosive in this game, except sometimes off the triple threat. Ideally, 90+ quickness players should respond to turbo a bit more like 2k11; not exactly that fast, but more like that than in 2k12. I understand they are trying to cut down on the unrealistic driving into the lane, but it went a bit too far this year.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

1) Passing options (bounce, bullet..)
2) Better Spacing
3) Tighter Controls

Thank you

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

How about getting that ESPN license and bring Reggie Miller/Kevin Harlan/Steve Kerr ? Not complaining about Kelogg but I'm kinda tired of hearing his voice all the time. Real Audio Arena and such. ESPN theme for Regular Season / Playoffs and Finals.

Customize every acessory in the game from top to bottom, add more acessories, adjust the colors for every team, example Knicks jersey is a bit darker in real life.

Add sliders spliting them in 3 - Our teammates, CPU and for us.

There's a lot of things that should be included in this game and I mean a lot. But I don't believe 2k doesn't care much for this things.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Mostly play My Player an simulation Association, so this is my wishlist:

Less Silly All Stars: During my most recent My Player season, Robin Lopez made the All Star team, despite not even being on the list of players receiving top votes and being a bench player who gets maybe 5 to 8 minutes a game and doesn't even produce that much.

Better Trade Logic: Trade logic seriously needs to be better. The Suns should not be trading Marcin Gortat and another young guy for the corpse that is Jermaine O'Neal and Troy Murphy.

Remove Being Pushed Out of Bounds: Or at least make it a foul. I'm sick of having an opponent literally push my player out of bound, then getting called on the turnover. This isn't my player bumping into them actively, but the opponent bumping into the player and pushing them out of bounds.

More Consistent Foul Calls: It was better in NBA 2k11, but in 2k12, have the time when I go inside for a shot, I get hit, sometimes by up to three different players, and no foul is being called. That is just silly.

Fix Commentary/PA Glitches: Playing for the Suns, it really breaks immersion when Channing Frye is starting, and yet he's being referred to during the introduction of the starting lineup as "Stoudemire". Likewise, the PA error where the PA says "Shooting 3" for free throws when there's not that many being shot needs to be fixed; it's been around since 2k10.

Fix Speed: A 99 speed guy should be able to outrun slow centers. Or catch up with slow wings. Just saying.

Make Active Defense Matter: In My Player, I shouldn't get a "Good Defense" bonus just because I'm standing next to the shooter if I'm not putting a hand up or actively contesting a shot.

Give My Players Personalities: I don't want to be unpredictable. I don't want to act like every other My Player. Along with differing voices, the My Player's personality shouldn't be fixed, ie, a super professional player who doesn't celebrate at all, or a loner who doesn't touch hands or act friendly with other players.

More Shoe Brands: I'm sick of just Adidas, Reeboks, Nikes and Converses; I want to wear New Balances, Filas, Pumas, etc.

Make NBA-Style Presentation Optional: If I wanted to watch an NBA game, I'd watch an NBA game. When I'm playing an NBA game, I don't care about the half-time show, the time-fillers during the breaks, etc. I just want to play the game.

Make David Stern Optional: Some players might want have David Stern be part of their game. I don't. I want him to go away. And his voice is pompous. So, make him optional, please. Because, right now, it feels like he's just being arrogant and invading my NBA 2k experience.

Talk About My Player: What's the point of My Player if he's never talked about along with other players?

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Create plays

Offensive urgency in 4th qtr by CPU in crunch time

Pitch system for offseason signing would be cool to use cap for campaigns in big stars

Aggressiveness

Technical fouls by CPU and maybe a button u could push for reaction after calls to take a t. According to situation it could positively affect ur team or negative

More team interaction when going on run if CPU calls timeout. Even trash talk between players would be cool. Make it more nbaish. I think the atmosphere in the game is kind of weak.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Since they have Jordan for one more year, how about a Relive/Rewrite mode where you can either relive a classic game/series or face the challenge of attempting to change the outcome. I.E: putting the '02 Lakers against the '02 Kings.

Oh, and I don't care who they have to pay off. GET BARKLEY IN THE FREAKING GAME!!!

[ama3599]

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

- Add technical fouls depending on reactions to calls / hard fouls (maybe players that are 'expressive' or 'unpredictable' or a high emotion rating have a higher chance of getting a T called)

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ama3599]

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Also, just like the guy said 3 team colors

And this might be small but headband colors, The Grizzlies players wear Yellow Headbands most of the time (more than dark blue and light blue which are the ones in the game), and another thing for accessories, they should allow mouthpieces, facemasks, etc
