Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

My player

- Body creation. I want to have full control over the creation of the body of my player. You can be 6'10 and look like Blake Griffin, 6'10 and look like Kevin Love, 6'10 and 6'10 and look like Anthony Davis. Blake Griffin is ripped and have big muscles, short arms. Kevin Love not particularly muscular and all that. Anthony Davis is a walking skeleton and have super long and skinny limbs. All of them is the same height, but looks very different from each other. I want multiple options when I create. Wingspan, hand size, leg thickness, arm thickness and all other things you can imagine. All those things are important in basketball. Especially wingspan. It makes Biyombo look weird when he have the same armlength as all the other 6'8 guys. Please get some of this in the game.

Excuse my english, I'm very tired and english is not my first language.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I've been playing dynasty/assiciation modes in nba games for about 10 years now. I'm somebody who likes to go very deep into the mode and simulate multiple seasons, so i think i have something to say about association mode.

What makes dynasty mode fun, to me, is the MAKING HISTORY factor. It's all about legacies (be it team or player, or even league era). What i would love to see the most is an EXTENSIVE history section. Whether it be league history, franchise history, or player history... get on it! I.e. a player getting retired, extensive profile stats + achievements, team overall W%'s, etc. 2k made a decent attempt at this in 2k12 but it is a pretty small feature in their game.

The BIGGER PICTURE things is what is key for association mode.

Cos what's the point in simming season after season with your team if it means nothing? MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING.

I want to be able to open a page that orders all the teams by the amount of championships they've won. I want to be able to open a page that orders players by the amount of rings they have, or career PTS, and other stats too. I want to a player to get into the fall of fame and open up his extensive H.O.F profile and check out his career stats and achievements... i want to see a ranking of players ALL-TIME based on their stats and achievements. Stuff like that.

Another thing with dynasty mode i'd like to see: Have CPU teams change their sim strategy depending on THE PERSONNEL (players, staff, etc), not have players play depending on their coach profile. Maybe some sort of "meet half way" factor would be good.

Dear 2k production team, for a reference on a great season mode - PLAY FOOTBALL MANAGER 2012. That thing is a masterpiece. It's gameplay is rubbish though. If NBA LIVE (or 2k for that matter, if they're reading) can make their dynasty mode even half as good as football manager then i'll be one happy bastard.

REMEMBER TO FOCUS ON PLEASING THE HARDCORE BASKETBALL NERDS. Details are our friend.

Online My Player Mode

First Seasons regular season simulates threw while you do all the off the court stuff to build up your draft stock, such as pick up games with the other my players in your draft class. This way teams dont draft double players at picks it lets the real draft be regular so that stays the same. Then the playoffs happen somebody wins the championship and the offseason begins. Thats when you have all your people that youve done your My Player Association with play the final Rookie Showcase game. Then ofcourse the draft, now im thinking the max amount of people to have in this would be ten so when you have the rookie showcase or your playing the pick up games 5 on 5 nobodies sitting waiting for the game to simulate to play unless of course your playing terrible or foul out then thats on you to warm the bench. Now as far as the other people in your draft class they all be computer generated ofcourse. Ofcourse the main goal is to be drafted number 1 overall which then where your drafted in the draft would grant you a certain amount of skill points and expectations from your home crowd that the higher your picked the more your expected to produce so bad games are scrutinized more. During the season you can choose to now just simulate to your next key game or play next game but you should be able to simulate one game at a time if you want and key games will also show up as the other players from your draft class this will also help grow rivalries and stuff like that between you and your friends as you play trying to get the better draft stock and be that number 1 overall pick and then to see who can produce the best and have the best rookie season win rookie of the year and who can win that first championship. I dont know thought about this the other day seemed like it would be pretty sick to have something like that already have online franchise mode i think and online myplayer would be sick

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

NBA 2Konline -

Bring back lobbies
Remove the instant replay option for online games
Allow users in quick game or lobby settings to adjust time or difficulty modes for online games
Allow users to give a review or rating to other users they have played to let other users know if that users is good online player to play against based on his style or play, sim or not sim, internet connection stability, times they've disconnected or quit early, ranking etc. As much info about a online player as possible before we decided if we want to play him or not.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Also a better rating and tendency system. Sorry to say it but the 2K insider needs to go. 2K please have someone new or a new team do the ratings. For years the tendencies for players are hardly ever touched. In NBA2K12 to many players midrange shooting was way to low or to high, just about everyone's 3 point shooting was way to high. That's why there was so many complaints about the 3 point shooting was made - to many players 3 point ratings were to high, that's why online so many people would just shoot 3's, there is no midrange game online, its either dunk or 3 pointer. That is not SIM and that is not the real NBA. There shouldn't be players with a 62midrange, but 88 3point shooting rating. Generally in the NBA the players midrange shooting should be higher % or rating than his 3 point % or rating. Fix this and this will bring back the midrange game to NBA2K for users.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Let us sim any game in My Player even if it is a key game like we could do last year. It should be like association where we can sim a certain number of games by going to the calender.

Fix the rotation logic. It's silly for me to be a rookie playing 43+ minutes a night even in blowouts while the players on my team with higher ratings barely play 35 minutes. The A.I. in this game has no clue about having a bench and using it. When they automatically adjust rotations, they never play anyone off the bench more than 20 minutes, and they seem to think that EVERY player that's not a reserve needs to have playing time, even if it's only 3-4 minutes. Teams don't do that, especially in the playoffs where rotations are usually shrinked.

Fix the substitution logic as well. I'm tired of playing SG when I'm a 6'1'' PG. We should be able to select our secondary position like we could last year as well. And the CPU shouldn't be allowed to change it.

Also fix the playcalling. Our team always runs the same stupid plays over and they always run them for the 4th or 5th options on our team. Why in the world would we be running plays for Darko Milicic or Tristan Thompson if Kevin Love or Derrick Williams is on the floor? They should have a ruler that measures the success of certain plays. If they have a low success rate, they won't run that play. Also, they can't recognize mismatches on offense, which is weird because the other team can. If they have a PG on their PF or C, they will always post him up.

Monta Ellis is a 6'3 guard who used to play SF consistently for Don Nelson. The Clippers also run a lineup of Mo Williams, Chris Paul and Eric Bledsoe all at once sometimes.

I understand that, but not every coach runs their rotations that way. Don Nelson was notorious for going small all the time, but not every coach runs their team like Nellie. And the Clippers run a lineup like that sometimes, but even then, it's not for extended periods of time. Bledsoe was getting around 11-12 minutes off the bench this season. I will sometimes play SG for 20+ minutes despite being the starting PG. It might have something to do with my playing style being scoring, but that's why I said we should be able to choose our secondary position. Just because I'm a scoring PG doesn't automatically make me good enough to be a SG.

I'm not saying I can't ever play SG, but the coach should realize that playing me at SG against Kobe Bryant or Dwyane Wade is a bad idea. I'm 6'1'' 184 lbs lol. But honestly I think the only reason I play out of position is because I play so many minutes. The rotation logic when simming is out of whack. If the coach would play me 36 minutes per game instead of 43+ even in blowouts, then I don't think I would play SG that much.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

make CPU help D matter. that mechanic that was added to 2k12 that gimped cpu defense has ruined help D by the cpu when i play on ball D. Just run up to a cpu controlled defender online and do a pullup swish jumper in his face. Jumpshooting is way to irratic now no real release points and pullup jumpers artifically raise shooting% way to high like contested shot animations in 2k11. LOTS of fixes needed

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

better online gameplay

[MG2PRime]

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

1. Better servers that are up at least 99% of the time.
2. Online Blacktop. Be able to play blacktop online from 2 vs 2 to 5 vs 5. Also teamup online blacktop as well.
3. Nba 2k13 Crew, bring nba 2k11 crew back with a better gym and a better crowd. Meaning we will be able to know who's home and who's not.
4. Don't make nba 2k13 for ps2. They have suffered enough.
6. Situation Mode, this was fun mode. Being able to Kobe in a clutch moment and knocking a shot down at the buzzer was great.
5. Bring the causality back in nba 2k13, nba 2k12 is pretty hard. Nba 2k11 wasn't easy but it was nice enough to let you poster someone and break ankles. Now the cpu stick to you like glue.
6. Add situation mode again. It was fun to be Kobe, Lebron or even the White Mamba and knock down shots in clutch times.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Adding a timing to layups and contested layups. Do you think it would be interesting/possible gameplay wise?

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

• Tone down contact on cuts through the key for the user. It's almost impossible to set screens in the paint or even navigate near it because we're constantly being bumped, pushed and sucked in by the defender. Also, for some reason they can make us post up when we're trying to set a screen on the block. I don't know how that's possible but they do it. The pushing only seems to work against the user though. Even my CPU teammates don't get pushed around and held on the perimeter like I do, although they can be made to post up as well. This makes off-ball movement almost impossible.

• With regards to being boxed out, there's no escape from it. We can't even move in the opposite direction away from the hoop to try and get back on defense. But the CPU can seemingly ignore my boxout attempts. They always seem to just jump through me if the rebound is near.

• Get rid of the artificial speed bursts the CPU has on defense. They hit top speed instantly, and players who have no business catching up to fast players on the break always seem to do it. Once again, this is something that only happens for the opposing CPU. I never find myself speeding into position or backpeddling at the speed of light like they do.

• Tone down the opposing CPU reaction times. My action and their reaction is simultaneous. They don't have to anticipate like we do. It looks silly when you're trying to make an entry pass into the post only to have the defender swipe the ball out of the air as soon as it leaves your hand and he's face to face with you. Actually, they seem to have an almost "psychic" awareness of what's going on. They always know the situation and react accordingly like they themselves initiated the stimulus.
