NBA 2K24 MyEras Wishlist

[Scvllp]

Actually Playoff presentation. Like logos on the court, dornas, tv graphics. They have them for the Jordan challenge so it’s confusing why it’s omitted from Eras.

Accurate All Star jerseys or the ability to make them ourselves.

Ability to copy MyPlayer dna(just looks with face scan) to a created player to plug into Eras.

[cj2008nw]

Give us the option to create coaches in MyEra.
Allow us to use Face scans in create a player
Allow us to edit appearances of players to show age
Try to get as many players added to the game so we won’t have to create so many players

It'd be nice to have more era-centric hair and facial hair options.

At the moment, it's nice to have at least a couple on hand (there's a mullet-ish haircut) but I'd say some standard, bushy 80's mustache options could be good, for one. Right now, the created mustaches mostly all look wispy.

I'd like to see real coaches enter the league as they did in real life (e.g. if I start in the Kobe era Steve Kerr should enter the coaching ranks roughly when he did in real life)

And add something akin to flavor events. Would be too nuanced to go into detail here, but add more big moments that weren't rule changes or expansion/relocation/rebranding. They could range from small stuff like Kobe's switch to 24, or big like MJ's first retirement, and even stuff like LeBron and his ridiculous "The Decision."

These things can be presented in a news section, where 80s and 90s its newspaper headline, 2000s its espn.com knockoff, and modern is social media.

It would also go perfectly with adding a season review type segment(s).

80s -- Nothing

90s -- One Ahmad Rashad type show that takes place at the start of the regular season. This segment will preview the upcoming season and review the offseason, or it can take place at the start of the playoffs.

2000s -- With the arrival of the 24hr news cycle we get more:
-A season preview show
-A playoff preview show
-An offseason show

Then with the modern era we get:
-Season preview
-All star break midseason report
-playoff preview
-maybe finals preview
-offseason preview
-offseason review

If you remember the GOAT College Hoops games with their recap and preview segments I'm thinking something like that. Absolutely not weekly though.

I love all of these. Nice mix of big dreams and manageable additions.

The real life events thing you mentioned could even be a toggle, where the user could decide at the forefront whether those real events would actually still happen if they made sense for how the mode was playing out. When turned on, David Robinson's arrival is delayed two years for military service, MJ leaves in '93, and maybe even prominent real life full season injuries are observed.

Real players turned coaches entering the coaches pool at the right time would be huge. So much cooler to see those real names and faces on the sidelines in Eras and it'd be great to see more.

I was thinking they could handle it like historical sandbox games handle historical events where there are a set of triggers that aren't too precise but specific enough that the overall story matches.

Something like
-If MJ wins the title between 92-94 he retires
-When LeBron's rookie deal is up and if he has not won a championship, trigger the decision (even if he ultimately resigns)
-Add some logic that serves to check how many teams have bad contracts or something at the time of a new CBA; if check passes trigger amnesty clauses

These kind of triggers are great for adding some dynamic elements into any franchise mode. They're just if/then statements and can be applied in a lot of different ways. Like all the player personality badges and signing preferences.

Unless my save is glitched I’d like them to take the real life rebranding to the next level. I noticed the Pistons and Suns court didn’t change when their jerseys did in the 90’s.

I'd love to see the retro cityscape views from the Jordan Challenge carried over to MyEras. Such a cool idea and a great means of immersion.

Really, I think it'd be nice for the Jordan Challenge team and MyEras team to swap notes altogether.
