    **Official NBA 2k18 Wish List Thread**

    I know the game just came out, but I figured why not go ahead and get the ball rolling. My biggest hope for 2k18 is an overall improvement to the crowd audio/reactions, as well as the commentary's ability to recognize something out of the ordinary taking place on the court.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-ipGKLq4pv0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I just pulled this from the highlight thread, but the home team ('92 Dream Team) came up with a steal and then an alley oop at the other end. There was literally no reaction whatsoever from the crowd, neither on the steal nor the oop. The commentary then treated the alley-oop like a normal dunk that was nothing special.

    I know that sometimes the commentators will throw out some big reactions to dunks, but I would really like to see them react more to the overall game. If I come up and knock down 5 threes in a row with one player, they should recognize that.

    I use this video all the time when talking about commentary and crowd reactions, because this is the kind of thing I would love to see in a video game.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tyd4NPvzKQg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    The commentators continually talk about how on fire Lebron is and how ridiculous he is shooting. The crowd, even being in the opposing team's arena, recognizes how nuts he is going, and when he pulls up from 5-6 feet beyond the arc and drills the shot, they erupt.

    If I go on a run like that in 2k, there is no recognition from either the crowd or the commentary. They seemingly treat each basket as its own play, and don't remember anything that happened in the game previously.

    Re: NBA 2k18 Wish List

    FIBA national teams.

    Ultimately I would love to see the FIBA sanctioned tournaments in the game but simply being able to have FIBA national teams in Play Now mode and the ability to move them to myLeague would be a good start. Ideally, at least 32 teams representing all the FIBA zones, FIBA courts with the shorter 3 point line and FIBA rules. The FIBA players on NBA teams could just be a copy of their NBA counterparts with a slight boost to their 3 point ratings to account for the shorter 3 point line. Same with the ones on Euroleague teams except they wouldn't need their 3 point ratings adjusted since they already play on FIBA courts.

    If we can't have it all for 2K18 then start with 24 teams and NBA rules. The development team could then build on this base, adding more FIBA related features until all aspects are implemented in 2K19, in time to get us pumped for FIBA World Cup 2019. Just ensure you include Canada, France, Spain, China, Australia, Argentina, Brazil and some other significant basketball crazed countries not mentioned here. Do this and I have reasons to buy 2K every year.

        Start caring about the game graphically and how it sounds again.

          fix the stupid attribute caps.

          when I heard they were putting attribute caps in myplayer I was actually really excited at first. I was tired of playing against 7'3 centers who dunked like deandre jordan, shot and dribbled like curry and had westbrook's athleticsim. that **** was ridiculous.

          then i actually got the game and started realizing what some of them were and how they functioned.

          like, I made my guy a shot creator. 6'1, 170 lbs. because of the attribute caps, he struggles to make a wide open 3 when no one is even on his side of the court, but if I drive into traffic and do some fancy dribble moves and then pull up he makes it almost every time because his shooting off the dribble is way higher than his regular shooting. it doesn't make sense, no player is like that.

          and you really can't even make guys who have the same skillsets as the players it showed you in the screen where you choose your archetype.

          like because all the attributes are lumped together, the highest my shot creator's "speed with ball" can go is like 75. this means damn near every body in the game except unathletic bigs catches up to me in open court situations. and it's really difficult to blow by anybody. for reference, steph curry and russell westbrook have 98/97 speed with the ball.

          then for example, chris paul is the definition of a playmaker pg. His playmaking in the game is obviously an A+, but his inside and midrange shooting are A/A+, 3 point shooting is a B, his defense is a B+. it's impossible to make a player that well rounded on this game. if you make a guy a good shooter his playmaking and defense will be trash, make him a good defender he will be an offensive liability. this is ridiculous.

          not to mention your free throw rating is in the mid 60s no matter what. even on the rare occasion you get to practice free throws (i've never gotten to), the +1 thing isn't even permanent.

          i don't even know if i want to play myplayer modes anymore because of this unless they somehow patch it, but it seems like something way too big too patch (unless they just lifted or raised the caps. and made it so you can actually improve your free throws and stamina)

                Re: NBA 2k18 Wish List

                1. Pro-Am custom logos earlier. I got it you dont want 1 and done teams to be making their own logos without a game played, but Elite 3 is pretty far into it to finally be "your own team"

                2. Separate Stats online for each MyCareer player. I play a SF Sharpshooter, and Im a huge stats person, because of this I feel like I cant make any other position at the moment or it's going to mess my stats up. I want to see what my 3pt % is on a sharpshooter, not on my Slasher that I may take a few wide open shots. I also want to see what I average for rebounds on my center compared to everyone, and not have my Sharpshooters games played bring those stats down.

                3. Online Latency, It's almost an entirely different game online due to the input lag. It needs to be fixed. Battlefield saw the community outraged about this and they put in the time to fix the netcode, 2k needs to do this as well, certainly if they are to be taken serious in E-Sports.

                4. Ability to Pass on MyCourt, or in the Pro-Am Arena. I should be able to practice with my team and no shot clock.

                5. Make the Pro-Am court slightly larger, it still feels a little small like spacing on it is impossible.

                6. Private Unranked matchmaking on Pro-Am please!!!

                7. Either Badge progress, or have the announcers say something about it after you hit like 25%/50% of it.

                8. Full Announcer in Pro-Am. Action Replays for big events IE someone breaks someones ankles etc. If not Action Replays, maybe have highlights of the game after the game.

                9. Take the Gym out of practice, no more gold "Doin' work" through the gym. At the same time. Allow people to upgrade their MyPlayer through the Gym. If I get a gold on smaller attributes like reaction time, FT, hands, etc. If I want to spend all day shooting free throws to upgrade it +10 I should be able to, and have that practice pay off.

                10. Allow drills on MYCourt with friends. Maybe I want to try someone out for my pro-am team, and the first step is having them people me in a Boston Drill, or whatever drill I pick, against me and my friends.

                      The Little Things

                      1) the little things when a player gets up from a hard foul or trip he points towards the floor to get the wet spot cleaned up for the floor sweeper guy

                      2) the little things during a hard foul or a tough screen I want player to kneel down clutching their stomach like they just got the wind knocked out of them. Also touch their mouth, hold their heads, hold their arms as if they felt the impact

                      3) I don't know if this is in the game but there should be a button to manually avoid charges before layups

                      4) add more personnel to benches (assistant coaches, trainers)

                      5) layup modifier I want to be able to place the basketball during a layup/floater high off the glass

                      6) the little things point guard talking to coach during free throw attempt

                      8) the little things players stepping over fallen players (ala iverson over tyronn lue)

                      9) dump-off bounce passes

                      10) For Mygm and Mycareer have players have disputes with coaches which leads to them needing to be benched or suspended ala demarcus cousins

                      11) more organic charges - currently players are fearless regarding dribbling into defenders. loose balls helps but the threat of charges for being too aggressive will bring it full circle

                        Re: NBA 2k18 Wish List

                        1) I want refs and coaches to be more than just props I want them to have a graphics upgrade and more awareness . I want coaches in the refs ear on questionable calls, same goes for player/refs and player/coaches

                        2) During timeouts they should show animated commentators talking

                        3) There needs to be two player technical fouls like in real life can't stress this enough

                        6) the little things when a ball goes out of bounds players should point to indicate its their ball or to indicate the opposing player touched it last

                        7) holding shot button/stick too long should result in a double pumping shooting animation

                        8) Since kg twolves are in as classics I would like to see kgs signature goaltending shots during dead ball

                        9) On outlet passes I would luv for the ball to go over the recievers head and have the player run to the ball

                        10) headtracking needs to be put in so players shouldn't recieve passes with there back turned showing pychic ability

                        11) the little things for charlotte hornet home games Jordan should be seen sitting in the crowd

                        12) Pin-blocks where you can pin the ball on the backboard

                        13) Presentation for season games if a player had torched a team previously they should show that player highlights from that game

                        14) Presentation if you win a championship they should show the banner being hung at the home opener of the following season

                        15) This might be in the game but the ability to front the post button

                        16) Ft lane violations haven't seen this one called in game

                        17) Fastbreak tendency to cut/spot up I want to be able to control a players tendency off the fastbreak to cut/spot up

                        18) NBA shrine or trophy room a place to showcase our winnings and achievements etc.

                        19) Allow players online to compete with each other in all star game festivities

                          Little Things 2

                          1. Create your own family in mycareer and have them appear at games like the curry family

                          2. For MYGM have a tribute night for the Legends where they are honored pregame and maybe show live footage of their highlights

                          4. A cool celebration would be after a game winning shot or a dagger on the away teams floor a player would just stand there with his arms crossed and his feet spread apart just nodding his head and staring back and forth with a cocky mug at the crowed while being drowned by boos

                          5. The little things when a player falls on the floor and the other teams player attempts to help him up he would give that player the cold shoulder and wait for his teammates to help him up instead

                          6. The little things off ball player putting his two hands in the air or pointing his finger in the air to celebrate for teammate before shot falls or after made shot (MIGHT BE IN GAME)

                          7. Players who make the assist should sometimes celebrate for example pointing two fingers at their eyes signaling he made eye contact with teammate

                          8. The little things sometimes referees review if a players foot was on the 3pt line or if a shot was made right before the shot clock had ended to avoid a shot clock violation

                            Different body types for MyPlayer.

                            I just don't know how we can't select between a more chiseled, wiry, buff, fluffy, etc. etc. body shape. They are already in the game, why can we not use them?

                            Likewise, hair styles and tattoos could do with updating URGENTLY.

                            Also, charging 1000 VC for a shooting animation is BS. Likewise for a celebration.

                            I'd also like to be able to start MyCareer with an overall more befitting a first round pick. Whether that means grinding in college, or getting some sort of bonus VC pre-draft as a result of my college career etc. I just can't stand starting life in the NBA and not being able to hit ANY shots, or pass to anyone. I'm a lame duck and no I refuse to ever buy VC.

                            You should be able to earn VC in MyTeam alongside whatever currency they have in there.

                            The coach adjustments and substitutions menu needs to be fixed in 2k17 tbh I don't know how that got past the testers. It is legit awful.

                            PNO needs to allow the ability to back out of a game without a penalty, or at least a filter to stop you playing against the same team as you selected, with also auto no kit clashing detection.

                            If I'm playing away as the Bulls, I don't want to be playing the Rockets in their away kits. I can't even see what the opponent chose.

                            Additionally. I wish some settings would just apply throughout different modes. Changing camera, setting auto play-calling on/off is too much of a slog for each individual game I play, altho I recognise improvements from NBA 2k16 in this department.
                            Blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground.

                              i never understood this. you can be a lottery pick and overall wise you're the worst player in the draft every year.

                              your overall should start off roughly similar to the player who went at the pick you did in real life. if you go 8th you should start in the low to mid 70s. 1st maybe a little higher. second rounders mid 60s. etc.
