Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I want Speed, Quickness, and Strength to have a bigger effect this year.

Speed was nerfed last year. There was no real difference in speed between players. Also tone down the speed of sliding or eliminate it and use actual footwork.

Quickness didnt really help outside of on-ball D. I want to see the explosive type of drives from very-athletic PGs. It would have a bigger effect if they use proper footwork.

Strength could have a bigger effect. I didnt like how half of the time I couldnt back down a smaller/weaker player. You would just get stopped. And sometimes when in the defensive post you could get backed down by a weaker player. I also want strength to have a bigger effect in driving, finishing in traffic, picks/screens.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I requested this last year but I think I should do it again because I really think it'd help people understand the game better.

They need more "practice" options. I like the fact that they have a "post moves" option but I think they should expand on that and add drills like fastbreak, pick & roll, pick & pop. Not only would you get a better understanding of the game, it would give cheesers another option for success instead of finding cracks in the gameplay.

Oh, even though I shouldn't have to mention it, but please no more of that offensive foul after I take a shot with my player and I end up running over the guy who was defending my shot

Totally agree about speed. And it's not even just on fast break situations. Speed is fixed in the half court as well. Try running a play that requires you to run around off ball screens. You'll notice that you can't really sprint that fast when you're on offense and off-ball, but the CPU can. It's like the game has a fixed speed the user can run at on the break or in the half court and it's a speed that is always slower than the CPU.

As with strength. It's so annoying to get constantly bumped and pushed around when trying to navigate around the court, especially when it's a much smaller, weaker player than you. But we can't push and harass the CPU off ball like they can do to us. Things like that really kill the game.

European teams PLZ, NBA Live 08 did it and it was beast.

Also, 2k really needs to update cyberfaces throughout the year instead of just leaving them the same.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

I know this has been mentioned for years but they haven't granted us our wish yet but 2K13, please give us editable arm length/reach.

Whether it's dribbling the ball, shooting the ball, trying to steal the ball, block a shot or rebounding the ball, arm length is a factor in all of these and having this editable can help make some of the abilities in the attributes section of the player editing option feel a lot more accurate and meaningful.

Trust me, I know about that. PLENTY of times, I get a great screen/pick and I still cant separate from the defender. Or get a great pick and once I push turbo the PF/C that was guarding the pick man is able to slide right in front of me quickly.
I think Speed was nerfed, so the defense wouldnt be in a huge disadvantage because of the lack of proper footwork

I think that may be a factor. I think 2K just wanted to paint the illusion of the CPU playing good defense, so to compensate for the AI not being all that intelligent, they have to give them invisible ratings boosts in some areas. Some things are just built into the game I think (Shot clock cheese, speed not being affected by ratings, etc). But others, I feel, are directly affected by the difficulty setting. Like I say, a wide open shot on Pro should have the same chance of going in as one on HOF under the same circumstances. The AI should just use a greater level of it's intelligence on higher difficulties.

But I hope 2K can correct these things so it's more fun to play off ball. Because right now, the off ball game is dead. That combined with the lackluster AI playcalling and decision making is why it's nigh impossible to have fun playing any position in MP other than PG.

Wing span is really needed to make players play like them selves. For all the things you said and finishing around the bucket and On-Ball Defense. It will also be a good dynamic in drafts.

Off Ball is bad. The bad picks/not separating from defenders. I dislike the playcalling by the AI. They call the same plays over and over. You cant really cant get a player out of position as a defender on off-ball(pushing someone out of their preferred spot).

Yea in MP besides PG, playcalling really pisses me off. I want my teammates involved. But they over do it. I would like to choose which play calls I want called in a game. I hate getting called plays that is never successful and the plays I like are rarely called. I would also like to know the playcalls in the MP menu when I go to a new team or get a new coach.

2k used to have sliders for pick strength and pick success. Don't know why they got rid of them.

I remember that, dont know why either. But they should just bring it back

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Along with many of the changes you guys suggested a few things I would like in MP and im sure its been said but I at least should be able to do rimgrazer dunks starting out.

I should not get a leave player i'm assigned penalty if i'm standing right next to him.

I hate that anytime during the game I can have the player i'm guarding switch 3 times in a few seconds and end up with a guy all the way across the court scoring magically being my man.

Better AI is a must, want all the players across the board to play better should not have a player dribbling the ball the full shot clock to take a long contested 3.

If a player is killing you and is hot during a time out would be nice if the positions match up to have a let me guard him option. Pg shouldn't be able to guard a Center, PF or maybe even SF...also a Center shouldn't be able to guard a PG. SG etc....during this time if you do well you get a little more toward your grade....but on the other hand whatever you do wrong you loose more against your grade. Maybe it last for a certain amount of minutes or the rest of the quarter.

Not sure how hard it will be but would like a real trade or roster option...while at the menu of MP you click on this and it downloads the most current trades and/or signings from 2k's servers. Haven't completed a full season but would like to be able to download draft classes or edit the draft classes.

Totally agree!! Even if the stadiums and euroleague format is too much hassle, just put the teams and the players...even as a paid downloadable content.
European teams are going to play nba teams again this year, it ll be great to have it in the game too.

Re: Official 2k13 Wishlist Thread

Not sure if anyone else has said this...

Players from Association and MP mode are progressing way too much and too quickly...By year 2 in MP mode Tyreke Evans is a 94 and Demarcus C. is a 92...That's just unlikely..there are a lot of players that way which really takes away the rareness of having a superstar on your team.

Also, I think too many rookies (made up players) are making it in the league..By year 2, again, I don't hardly recognize starting lineups because there are so many rookies who are either starters or role players on every team. It's way too many too soon. And every team is completely different due to all of the sporatic trades that it just screws up the whole league...

Literally half the teams had a team rating of 90 or above on my year 3 in MP...really? Talent just magically grew and now every time is equally competitive.
