    I hope pick up games/blacktop has more of a steet ball feel

    I'm nitpicking here as 2K has already blown me out of the water with the improvements this year, but I play a lot of pick up games in my player and it would be cool for it to be a realistic street ball experience.

    First of all, get rid of the generic jerseys and give us the option to use custom street wear. This doesn't have to be too expansive, but give us a few shirt and short options and let us change the color. Also make all games shirts vs. skins, and just in general make it feel more like an authentic pick up street ball game.

    I'm also hoping for more online blacktop options for my player. Like 21 or knockout (I know they added it as a drill, don't know how it's going work exactly) would be cool.

          I'd trade the entire blacktop idea for more time spent on real basketball. Let NBA Jam take care of that stuff.

            Exactly! The last time streetball was any fun was on Dreamcast.

              I don't think the option of clothing is necessary but I'd like to play knockout, signout or around the world in blacktop mode with some people.

                  Hopefully 2k isn't listening to you. Yes some of us enjoy a little game of one on one or two on two or game of 21 with friends or family. Also playing that mode with much younger nephews and nieces allows them to have fun without getting confused with all the elements that go along with a full 5 on 5 match.
                  EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                      Playing a game of one on one or two on two is always fun. I'm particularly fond of jacking up some sliders and having a blast in Blacktop mode when I don't feel like playing serious basketball and just want some mindless basketball fun. Plus, it's a great way to hone your isomotion skills in a relaxed setting without all the pressure of an actual game.

                        My Player pick up games were one of the highlights of NBA 2k11, for about a month tht was the only reason i played 2k to go out there with my 71 rated Myplayer and dominate 99's. Felt Good.

                        It would be cool if they added 21, Around the World and Knockout to it. And with create your own shots my MyPlayer is gonna look and play just like myself. (NBA skilled version of course lol)

                          I'll probably be playing more pick up games in my player this year, though every once In a while i'd run a full court with all the top nba players offline. Personally I want to see people just hanging alone the sidelines in the Blacktop games.

                          Still couldn't figure out the trick walkup and trick dribbles in blacktop mode though.

                            I think what the guy said about the MC and the crowd would make the blacktop mode more enjoyable.

                            I think seeing fans run on the court or get extremely pumped like they do is just fun to see. If they took the time to do that, then I would love to keep blacktop mode going

                              this would be cool. give it a street ball feel ie NBA Street-like. likewise i think 2k should just get rid of blacktop mode if it cannot improve like we hope it does because it's only wasting a huge disk space.
