Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

[Man2116]

Just wondering, since Sony announced PS4, when will we start getting info on what the next-gen system will offer us for Nba 2K, because honestly I have not been pleased since 2K11!! I hope they come with some solid gameplay and not cheese me to beat me, accesories should be home and away and be able to overlap, no more skating and morphing, association needs to be revamped, and for god sakes stop catering to the casual fan, give me hardcore basketball!!

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

Im hoping for solid play in the paint with no morphing or sliding. Maybe some kind of combine for incoming rookie class (Would like it more for a 2k Next Gen Football!!!). "Cleaner" gameplay (Sliding, crossovers and moves interrupted. change naturally).... Aaaand maybe they could try to incorporate wing spans and you can really tell the difference it makes (or not) for similar players (hidden type ratings). They took that first step with signature skills.

And for Association, a dynamic and better progression system. If a 59 overall 2gaurd goes off for 20 per gm, he shouldn't be limited to his potential. Also, make it so some players can become "lazy" after they get that big deal, with balance, so it can set Franchises back. And we shouldn't be able to trade everybody whenever we want. Also, player/ team relations. That would be cool.

Better teamate AI

Try to get licensed broadcasters to commentate and have a halftime analysis show or if they can't create fake ones
Gameface
Bring back Draft Combine and Summer league and D League for My Player
Bring Owners personality into Association mode
Better trade Logic
Bring back Trading Block
Make money from endorsements in My Player
After retiring from playing in My Career you can become a coach or an owner if you've earned enough money from your playing career

Realistic simulation gameplay period!!!!!!

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

It is a good thing to dream, but after seeing the PS4 press conference, what we are more likely to get:

- social aspects (MyTeam, Crew etc)
- maybe a "take your own photo and make your player with your own face" thing
- maybe more Kinect-type of things, like "create your own signature jumpshot" by recording yourself with a camera
- Kinect-type control option
- flashier menus
- sweat on players
- black and white socks
- hopefully a "best of the week/day" stuff if your friends play the game too: the game makes a highlight montage from their shared videos for you

TL;DR:
I doubt that the "more RAM and more computing power" of the PS4 will mean fundamental gameplay changes, only social and graphics updates.

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

Real defense and real roster updates!

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

eh...a better question would be is that do they even have the dev kits to actually start working on the next nba2k for PS4 or XBOX (whatever)?

I doubt we are going to see a huge leap...its going to be a couple of years before you see some huge changes...

OT: what I want to see? Well for one it would be nice to see differentiating players with longer arms...as of now everyone has the same arm length...

Lml that song is chill.
- Sweat on players
- Halftime show with Analysis
- Weekly top ten plays for association
- Its a stretch but incorporate Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless
- Have announcers give in depth analysis on the game. Like what they notice each team is doing. Like if they are pushing the tempo more often etc.
- lastly home and away accessory options

Justin Bieber in next-gen HD.

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

All I want is better defense and ROSTER UPDATES.

And updating Jeremy Lin by -1 3pt rating is not a real update! C'mon 2k!!

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

hahaha...still laughing at you dropping the mic. non specifically? keep improving your replication of the sport. Immerse us more. Continue to make it feel like real hoops.

Specifically?
1. Defensive Options, we need these BIG TIME and more balanced gameplay
2. A separate online game space for casual and hardcore players
3. Make it Seamless! SONY stepped up big-time by resolving the holy grail of sports gaming (view game/broadcast game) not to mention save game issues FOR YOU. Their focus is making it user-friendly. Going online and playing a completely different game is soooo last gen. So is not letting us automatically bring playbooks, camera angles and everything else we prefer. Online Profiles FTW.
4. More Strategy, no more maxxing coach options out to no affect. Crash boards and run out on fast breaks? come now...
5. Better Physics. I saw a one million item animation last night. The pressure to eliminate bad animations, sliding and bumping just went through the roof.
6. Classic Teams Lobby. Adds to replayability.
7. Crew. I dont play it but many do. embrace the social. its also the right thing to do.

Finally, I think you guys at 2K can pull it off. You're the one sports developer I trust and I think you guys GET IT. I've retired from all the rest of these subpar sports games out there. To me either you'll do it--or no one will. No pressure tho *wink!*

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

- Foot planting... No more sliding... With the added power of these new systems this should be achievable...

- Physics... Everything needs to be driven by physics, NOT animations... Never see the same thing twice (ie - Backbreaker)

- Build on the great presentation... Mimic real life broadcasts, not "2k broadcasts"... Having different overlays for TNT, ESPN and NBA TV games would be cool

I'm sure I could think of plenty more... I'll post some more thoughts later.

I love most of what I'm seeing from everyone else though. Nice work fellas.

Re: Next Gen 2k (what do you want)

LD2k, any news on that dunk session you guys had last month? How did it go? Who was the mystery person? How many new dunks are we expected to see in this years upcoming game? Will the dunks be able to be blocked as often as in nba 2k11? Fill us in please. thank you.
