My Player:
-Add more hairstyles (Paul, Irving, Rondo, Jennings), acne, scars, facial hair, etc.
-Add more accessory choices (white compression shorts or headbands without the logo).
-Add wingspan and hand size (also help determine steal/ball-handling success).
-Add place of birth (city & state) and try to add what High School.
-More authentic tattoo designs. Add ability to put tattoos on triceps, chest, back, shoulder blades, legs, etc.
-Different player voices instead of just one.
-More pictures. How about two smiling pictures and one regular picture.
-3-point celebrations. Add ORIGINAL 3-point celebrations for us to choose.
-More crossover choices, like 20 different choices.
-Secondary position OPTION. Let us have the choice of being just 1 position or 2.
-Choice of jersey for certain game. Have the Spanish jerseys, throwback jerseys, alternate jerseys, etc.
-Slots so we can add what accessories and what color we want for certain game days. Add a slot for Home games, Away games, and different jersey slot.
-Add ability to makes other NBA players friends or enemies on the court. If you’re friends with a player, you’ll be laughing and smiling with him on the court. If you’re enemies, you’ll be trash talking and going head-to-head a couple times.
-Remove virtual currency in our contracts and add real money.
-With our contract money, let us buy houses, cars, clothes, send money to charities, do activities, etc. But don’t make it like $100,000 to buy a shirt or watch a movie. Make it realistic.
-Have our player get injured and depending on the injury, we have to pay for surgery.
-In social media, have the ability to tweet what you wan to say or tweet directly to another NBA player.
-While in College, have NBA players tweet how good you are if you have a very good game, or posterize a defender badly, or ankle break someone, or some highlight play.
-My player shouldn’t be getting all the endorsements in one year. I should be getting like one a year, but not 5 in my rookie year.
When you do get an endorsement, actually get paid for it. You also have the ability to turn down an endorsement offer if another one is offering you more money.
-Have our players sign an agent.
-Let us choose which teammate we want to have our pre-game handshake with.
-Have the ability to put ankle braces and socks on at the same time. I should also be able to have socks and calf sleeves on at the same time too.
-Black socks should be put back in the game. If I’m playing an away game, black socks should be on instead of white.
-Let us wear normal clothes during the post-game interviews. Why do I have to wear a suit all the time?
-Commentators should be saying my first and last name instead of my nickname. Is it that hard to add this?
My Career:
-Start as a Senior in High School, start with 15,000 skill points, play a championship game. Have ESPNU or Rivals rate you after the game.
-Once the game is over, show the list of colleges wanting you and you get to choose which one you want to go to.
-Once 15 regular season games of college have been played, play in March Madness, depending on your record. Go through the tournament until you lose.
-You have the option of playing just 1 year of college or play 4 years.
-If you opt for the draft, have analysts compare your style of play to an NBA players style of play.
-Replace the Rookie Showcase with the real Draft Combine (lifting, squats, mile time, vertical, scrimmage).
-Instead of having teams interview you, have teams just choose you if they need a player at your position, how well your overall skills are, and if you’re not injury prone.
-Once you get drafted, have the ability for a team to trade you on draft night if you got drafted on a team that traded their players that night.
-You can get drafted anywhere from #1-to-undrafted.
-Once you get drafted or try out for a team, you play 5 games in a summer league. If you play very well, you stay on the team. If you play poorly, the team can waive you if they want.
-Once the summer league is over, you play 3 games in training camp. If you play good, they’ll add you to the roster. If you play poorly, they can waive you.
-If you play poorly in the summer league or training camp, you can try out for the D-League. If the D-League doesn’t even want you, you have to practice and improve your skills and simulate each day until an NBA team or D-League team wants you to try out.
-If you are a top 5 pick and you play VERY WELL in the summer league and training camp, you can be in the starting lineup on the very first game of the season.
-If we are leading all players in All-Star votes, let us start in the game.
-During your career, you should be mentioned in trade talks and even have the unfortunate chance of being traded, even when you didn’t want to. But don’t make it for no reason. Make it because they are trying to clear cap space or because you have to be shipped with another player who wanted to be traded.
Gameplay:
-Teammate AI on defense needs to be fixed. They never get up on 3-point shooters and always give them space. They are also consistently being beat off the dribble and are just standing there.
-Teammate AI on offense needs to be fixed too. I give them a wide-open pass for a layup, but they pass it out and it results in a missed shot or a turnover.
-In My Career, the coaching logic needs to be fixed. If I have 2 fouls in the 1st quarter, I should be subbed out, not left in. If we are losing by like 15 with 2 minutes left, the starters should be subbed out to prevent injury.
-Opponent AI needs to be toned down. Kobe and Nash shouldn’t be outrunning anyone, they should be using finesse to get a shot off. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph shouldn’t be doing one-dribble pullups in my teammates face and making them.
-Scoring needs to be toned down. Whenever I actually play a game instead of simming, teams ALWAYS score like 40 points in every quarter shooting 60%. It should happen once in a while, not every time.
-Points in the paint should be toned down. Out of 124 points, 80 points shouldn’t come from the paint.
-Why are both teams shooting 50%+ from the field. It doesn’t matter who won or lost, but they are always shooting a good percentage. Make it more realistic. -The winning team should shoot like 49% with an occasional 50%+ while the losing team shoots like 40-45%, unless it’s a close game, then both teams should be shooting very similar to each other.
-The speed of the game should be a little slower, especially with the older teams. Teams shouldn’t be scoring 15 points in 3 minutes.
-Banked shots (floaters, fadeaway, pullup) need to be toned down and not scripted anymore. The floater needs to be toned down. The up-and-under post shots should be toned down.
-Transition jumpers should be seriously toned down. Too many times I see players run on a 3-on-2 fast break and a player pulls up for a shot and ALWAYS makes it.
-Shot-clock-cheese needs to be either taken out or severely toned down. Too many times I see players just chuck it up and they make it way too often.
-Fouling needs to be toned down. Why is it when I block a player and gets all ball, it’s a foul? I can’t even try to block a shot without worrying about getting a foul call.
-Reaching fouls also need to be toned down. With the new patch, steals are impossible to get. I understand I shouldn’t spam the reach button, but it makes pick-pocket sig skill useless and I can’t press the steal button without getting a foul call the 1 time I press it.
-Rebounding is a complete joke this year. The opponent AI is obviously favored in this category.
-Ankle breakers should be happening every time. I shouldn’t see 4 ankle breakers a game. This needs to be toned down a bit.
-On-ball defense needs to be improved. I seriously feel like I’m playing a hockey game since I keep gliding and can’t stay in front of my matchup.
-Add the ability to block dunks.
Presentation:
-Add a better introduction to the players. 2K13 was alright, but you can definitely improve.
-Show some more cutscenes before the game. Show players in the locker room listening to music or reading a book, or even show players jogging out of the tunnel onto the court.
-Before the tip-off, show all 10 players interacting on the court. Show the 5 players on one team high-fiving/hugging the 5 players on the other team and players interacting with their own teammates on the bench and/or on the court. -Even do a thing similar to Kobe, high-fiving the staff where the table is.
-When the game was over in 2K13, players were just standing there clapping while only like 2 players on each team were interacting with each other. In 2K14 have like 3 players on each team go to each other and high-five, while the other 2 players on the court and the players on the bench would high-five each other and walk into the tunnel to the locker rooms. Show some cutscenes of them walking in the tunnel too.
-You should also add where players would huddle up after their teammate gets fouled and goes to the free-throw line.
-The crowd, like every year, should be improved. The crowd should be going crazy if the home team makes a big comeback in the 4th quarter. They should also be going crazy if it’s a close game and the home team made a very clutch shot. Also, say a game is 98-96 with 45 seconds left with the home team leading. The crowd, in that situation, would all stand up and start cheering and clapping. If you can add these, it would make the crowd a lot better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3O66W-amfs (look how the crowd stands up after the steal).
-The crowd should also be “ooooh”ing and “aaaah”ing after an ankle breaker or a posterization. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRNFqs2-ufU They should also be “ooooh”ing after a posterization from the home team after a dead ball and they watched the replay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFBFC9ltSOQ (listen to the crowd after the dunk and replay).
-When a player makes a very clutch shot (or they are on the brink of winning in the playoffs or finals), they should be enthusiastic, like yelling into the crowd, hitting their chest, fist-pumping into the air yelling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsvof3SnJ_s (look at how the crowd reacts and how the players celebrate. try to add these.)
-Some players should be enthusiastic when dunking or posterizing someone, like yelling into the crowd or their teammates holding onto them.
-When a player makes a buzzer-beating game winner, the player should be celebrating somehow while all his teammates on the court and on the bench running up to him and hugging him and tackling him to the ground.
-When a timeout is called, the players on the bench should get up and start high-fiving the players on the court and let the players who were playing sit on the bench while the ones on the bench are huddling around the coach.
-While during the timeout, the commentators should talk. Whether it’s about a previous game that just ended or who will be playing next or something like that. I don’t hear anything.
-If you play playoffs in association or My Career, add a Promo similar to this showing the teams playing in the playoffs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp73OIoEIVE
-When the Finals starts, there should be an intro like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjIuNsdiYXc (don’t forget to add highlight plays from both teams who are playing) and the PA announcer should be announcing who is on each team.
-When one of the teams win the Finals, teammates should be hugging each other and tackling each other to the ground instead of running around like idiots.
-Whomever wins the finals, the commentators should be more enthusiastic and the home crowd should be going nuts. They don’t sound any different as if they won a regular game.
-Player models should be different. they should look smaller on the court and some players should look skinnier, like Lebron James. He looks too wide in the game, but he looks skinnier in real life.
-A better soundtrack. I’m not disrespecting Jay-Z at all since he is a legend, but his song selections were iffy to most people. You could a little better.
-Occasionally, show a bar showing the other games that were previously played, playing at the same time, and going to play later on in the day at the bottom of the screen.
-The “We Want Tacos” chant for the Lakers is happening at the wrong time. I have a 106-98 lead against the Lakers and Laker fans are cheering “we want tacos.” C’mon 2K.
-Some players should get booed or cheered. If a player got traded and is playing their former team, they should get cheered since it wan’t their choice. -If a player decided to sign with a different team (like Lebron), he should get booed by his former team.
-The players returning to play their former team should go over to their coach and former players and share a hug or a handshake and talk during the pre-game cutscenes.
-Add more/better commentary. I keep hearing the same thing EVERY SINGLE GAME.
Animations:
-The blocking animation should be smoother. It shouldn’t be scripted to be blocked or to be fouled, but if you timed it perfectly, it should be a block. If you pressed it early or late, you either missed the block or its a foul.
-Animation where most chase-down blocks would hit the backboard. They should hit the backboard hard like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q_aiSYCmfU or a block like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-4tekUJ3GQ
-Even add an animation where the player pins the ball to the backboard from the chase-down like in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9U4Use42Jw
-Have the ability to pass-fake while still dribbling like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4HFJxJ4MY8 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80EVb7HNa6o and make the animations smooth and the defenders actually fall for it.
-Make it so a crossover and a layup are in sync. It seriously looks like after a crossover, you HAVE to pullup for a jumper. Make it like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOIHPvIBh7M
-Take out the animation where I spin and the ball hits the defenders leg and it results in a turnover. How many times do you see that in the NBA?
-Have players not even try to block a dunk. Nash jumps to block my dunk but he has -200% chance of blocking it. Have an animation where smaller/older players will get out of the way because they know they have no chance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKTFwm2Cc0I layups like these should be easier to do if you have a high layup rating along with the acrobat sig skill. And make the controls easier.
-Add an animation very similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yi4oehAdQk the defense should be like that, the ball-handling should be that smooth (depending on rating), and the finishing should be like that (depending on rating).
-Add some crossovers like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nikiacc5PBM
-Take out that jump shot animation where a player should shoot it, and then jerk his body and arms like he got hit.....and no one even contested the shot. It’s a really annoying animation.
-Take out the magnet between two players. I hate it when I’m magnetically going to a defender who is boxing out and I get sucked into him. Take that out. -Also take out when I’m trying to v-cut, but I can’t because my defender keeps holding on to me. Also, remove the magnetic screen. I’m sucked into a screen when the opponent AI sets a screen. Make this game more smooth.
-Also, remove this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beiLHyRvlrE this is very annoying.
-Make pump-faking smooth and realistic and some defenders actually fall for it. But seriously, don’t make players abuse the hell out of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G6mCcybg9g or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkv_yr1GOBk
-Have an animation where the referee would go to the scorers table and make a number with their fingers to say who the foul is on and the PA announcer would say it over the microphone.
-The bench should have celebrations similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVxQ0L-EQ1Q each team should have a different animation though.
-If you see a player sizing you up for a chase-down block on a fast break, you should be able to do layups like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc0Yelm3bdM
-Add a better foul animation. Whenever a player goes for a shot and gets fouled, about 80% it will be an animation where it looks like no one touched him but the only difference is the ball will rim out.
-It feels like there HAS to be a foul within 30 seconds of any quarter. It happens way too often and needs to be removed.
-Finally, stop scripting shots! You script the AI’s shots to go in, you script my teammates shots to go in, you script my shots to go in. It’s ridiculous. Enough with the scripting and make it fair. Kobe shouldn’t be shooting 6/12 in the first quarter every time I play him and score 45 points in the entire game.
-Too many jump shots are being blocked by shorter players. Tone down jump shot blocking.
-Add more hairstyles (Paul, Irving, Rondo, Jennings), acne, scars, facial hair, etc.
-Add more accessory choices (white compression shorts or headbands without the logo).
-Add wingspan and hand size (also help determine steal/ball-handling success).
-Add place of birth (city & state) and try to add what High School.
-More authentic tattoo designs. Add ability to put tattoos on triceps, chest, back, shoulder blades, legs, etc.
-Different player voices instead of just one.
-More pictures. How about two smiling pictures and one regular picture.
-3-point celebrations. Add ORIGINAL 3-point celebrations for us to choose.
-More crossover choices, like 20 different choices.
-Secondary position OPTION. Let us have the choice of being just 1 position or 2.
-Choice of jersey for certain game. Have the Spanish jerseys, throwback jerseys, alternate jerseys, etc.
-Slots so we can add what accessories and what color we want for certain game days. Add a slot for Home games, Away games, and different jersey slot.
-Add ability to makes other NBA players friends or enemies on the court. If you’re friends with a player, you’ll be laughing and smiling with him on the court. If you’re enemies, you’ll be trash talking and going head-to-head a couple times.
-Remove virtual currency in our contracts and add real money.
-With our contract money, let us buy houses, cars, clothes, send money to charities, do activities, etc. But don’t make it like $100,000 to buy a shirt or watch a movie. Make it realistic.
-Have our player get injured and depending on the injury, we have to pay for surgery.
-In social media, have the ability to tweet what you wan to say or tweet directly to another NBA player.
-While in College, have NBA players tweet how good you are if you have a very good game, or posterize a defender badly, or ankle break someone, or some highlight play.
-My player shouldn’t be getting all the endorsements in one year. I should be getting like one a year, but not 5 in my rookie year.
When you do get an endorsement, actually get paid for it. You also have the ability to turn down an endorsement offer if another one is offering you more money.
-Have our players sign an agent.
-Let us choose which teammate we want to have our pre-game handshake with.
-Have the ability to put ankle braces and socks on at the same time. I should also be able to have socks and calf sleeves on at the same time too.
-Black socks should be put back in the game. If I’m playing an away game, black socks should be on instead of white.
-Let us wear normal clothes during the post-game interviews. Why do I have to wear a suit all the time?
-Commentators should be saying my first and last name instead of my nickname. Is it that hard to add this?

-Instead of having teams interview you, have teams just choose you if they need a player at your position, how well your overall skills are, and if you’re not injury prone.
-Once you get drafted, have the ability for a team to trade you on draft night if you got drafted on a team that traded their players that night.
-You can get drafted anywhere from #1-to-undrafted.
-Once you get drafted or try out for a team, you play 5 games in a summer league. If you play very well, you stay on the team. If you play poorly, the team can waive you if they want.
-Once the summer league is over, you play 3 games in training camp. If you play good, they’ll add you to the roster. If you play poorly, they can waive you.
-If you play poorly in the summer league or training camp, you can try out for the D-League. If the D-League doesn’t even want you, you have to practice and improve your skills and simulate each day until an NBA team or D-League team wants you to try out.
-If you are a top 5 pick and you play VERY WELL in the summer league and training camp, you can be in the starting lineup on the very first game of the season.

-Add some crossovers like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nikiacc5PBM
-Take out that jump shot animation where a player should shoot it, and then jerk his body and arms like he got hit.....and no one even contested the shot. It’s a really annoying animation.
-Take out the magnet between two players. I hate it when I’m magnetically going to a defender who is boxing out and I get sucked into him. Take that out. -Also take out when I’m trying to v-cut, but I can’t because my defender keeps holding on to me. Also, remove the magnetic screen. I’m sucked into a screen when the opponent AI sets a screen. Make this game more smooth.
-Also, remove this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beiLHyRvlrE this is very annoying.
-Make pump-faking smooth and realistic and some defenders actually fall for it. But seriously, don’t make players abuse the hell out of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G6mCcybg9g or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkv_yr1GOBk
-Have an animation where the referee would go to the scorers table and make a number with their fingers to say who the foul is on and the PA announcer would say it over the microphone.
-The bench should have celebrations similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVxQ0L-EQ1Q each team should have a different animation though.
-If you see a player sizing you up for a chase-down block on a fast break, you should be able to do layups like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc0Yelm3bdM
-Add a better foul animation. Whenever a player goes for a shot and gets fouled, about 80% it will be an animation where it looks like no one touched him but the only difference is the ball will rim out.
-It feels like there HAS to be a foul within 30 seconds of any quarter. It happens way too often and needs to be removed.
-Finally, stop scripting shots! You script the AI’s shots to go in, you script my teammates shots to go in, you script my shots to go in. It’s ridiculous. Enough with the scripting and make it fair. Kobe shouldn’t be shooting 6/12 in the first quarter every time I play him and score 45 points in the entire game.
-Too many jump shots are being blocked by shorter players. Tone down jump shot blocking.
