EDIT: Thanks to Pared for assembling this list from all of the issues in this thread. I will update it as more things are added. This way the 2K dev team doesn't have to sift through the whole thread to get this info.
Patch issues that we would like to see fixed:
**VERY IMPORTANT**
-This layup (now known as the "Ghost Layup"):
The offensive player sometimes starts this layup just inside of the free throw line, and then magically glides through any defenders that are trying to foul him or block his shot. There is no stopping this layup because the game somehow isn't registering the "contact" being made with the offensive player by the defender. Also that layup almost never misses (I'm not sure if I have ever seen it miss actually).

-Shooting %'s must be lowered. Too many contested shots go in even with tight defense. If it's a ratings thing, fix the ratings!
-Shooting tendencies are BROKEN (especially for scoring guards), there are way too many scrubs taking the bulk of the shots that the star players should be getting.
-Pass accuracy. Way too many pinpoint passes by guys. Should be a bit more variety. At default players can run one direction and make a cross court pass with perfect efficiency, regardless of the ratings.
-Edit Prospect appearances. Being able to edit everything else is great. However, we should be able to edit what they look like. This takes away from the overall feel. Also, please do not use retired player faces for these prospects!
-Dribble, hopstep, extra dribble that is not called as a travel. Add to this the walk from a turn around jump shot in the post.
-The CPU scores way too many points off of quick cuts/passes (and in some instances alley-oops) to the basket. This leads to over-inflated points in the paint stats.
Credit: RubenDouglas for this info on the above mentioned problem:
-On-the-fly substitutions. Currently, if you make a change using the d-pad, confirm, then go back in to add to it all your changes are reset. They need to stay until the next whistle.
-An option to force the CPU to substitute by ROTATION and not by fatigue.
-The CPU in general needs to take more mid-range jumpshots.
-After a missed basket by the post player the guard ALWAYS is guarding the post player after that. Mismatch defensive switches happen far too often, e.g. guards checking a PF or Center, or vice versa..
-2k Camera angle framerate is not consistent with others. Also, if that gets fixed, it would be nice if it could be added online.
-lag when shooting the first FT that throws your timing off during online play. This was the SAME exact issue from last year that was patched up and it's back again.
-Clipping between objects (players, hoop, backboard and ball). As it is now, too many things go THROUGH each other, resulting in missed blocks, steals and other aspects of collision detection. At least clean it up a bit!
-On the fly subs show a players position in the FLS column instead of how many fouls they have. Fouls are very important in close games.
-Zone usage slider in coach settings. Seems as if it is broken or not as effective as it should be.
-Defense in the paint needs to be WAY more physical. In general, CPU defenders in the paint need to be more active and strong. There needs to be more bodying up. Too many times a CPU big man will flash to the paint and stand there for a second with a defender guarding him who doesn't lay a body on him. From that point, if he gets the ball, its an easy two points when the shot/layup could have been made way tougher if the defender just put a body on him. I think this is a HUGE issue that hasn't been talked about enough.
-In Association mode use pictures of the created players/rookies face, or NO PICTURE AT ALL. Please get rid of using retired players faces instead the rookie's cyber face. Some peoples Association, in their second season, have multiple pictures of Kerry Kittles, Juwan Howard, and Travis Best on different teams.
-3 second calls seem to take longer than 3 seconds.
-The dribble, hop step, extra dribble that is not called as a travel
**WOULD BE NICE**
-Orange Circle during replay mode: Get rid of it like last year using the two bumpers (L1 and R1 on PS3)
- on a charging call, the PA announcer says they are over the limit
- replays happening at the wrong moments. Derrick Rose could be on the bench, and they will talk about his passing. They will talk about someone scoring a lot of points after they just missed their last 5 shots. Someone will get their shot blocked out of bounds, then they talk about how dominant in the paint they are...just annoys me a little.
- Framerate issues during FTs, replays/highlights, and the far away camera right before a quarter starts.
-Some elements of some teams courts (ie: ATT sign on the Spurs court, and similair logos on other courts) are blurry beyond sense and reason. It really detracts from what otherwise is a very nice game graphically.
-PA announcer saying the team is in the penalty after charging fouls
