Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

When hiring a coach in Association we should be able to see their Win Loss record on past teams and if they were the Head Coach or an assistant.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

Gameplay
1. Shot blocking STILL sucks after all these years. I'm a shot blocker IRL so I'm passionate about this ish lol. If I can block dunks IRL sometimes, why can't I do it in a video game? It just seems like there should be times where it's an obvious block but players still get the shot off and usually make it.

2. Have a new attribute that controls the effects fatigue has on players. Like NBA Live had "mental toughness" that affected how much a player's other attributes drop when they're tired. Tired players should be more likely to take jumpshots and a bit lazier on defense, unless they're offensive and defensive mental toughness is high.

3. Weight and strength actually affecting gameplay.

4. I still see some sliding and transporting so guys can stay on their man. If you're out of position, you're out of position.

5. Fake passes actually faking out (bad) defenders.

6. Sometimes some animtions look too...slow. The NBA is often very fast so the animations should reflect that. NBA Live used to have the pace right to me but their animations sucked. Maybe 2K can have the balance.

7. Better, smoothing animations for steal attempts and you should pay more for going for steals and missing. Make it easier to blow by fools who reach too much. (Goes back to #4, so no sliding back into position)

8. Quit with the fumbling the catch and inaccurate passes crap. There's a HANDS and PASS attribute, make use of them. They affect nothing apparently. Half these passes that sail out of bounds are passes I myself could have made and fumbled passes are ones I would have caught.

9. More control over passing. Bullet passes, lob passes, bounce passes, overhead passes, no-look, right-handed, and left-handed are all possible options to have control over.

10. Too much standing around on offense. If I'm not running a play, the CPU can still do...something.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

Here are some of the things that I would like to see in the game.
1) Blocking dunks. Ratings should affect this one a lot for the dunker it should be the dunk rating and the strength of the player as well as how much stamina he has. For the blocker the block rating and strength should determine what will happen.
2) Real physics. I have seen up and under shots go right through the fingers of my players. I have seen passes go through players and I have seen players dislocate their arms to get a rebound.
3)Fatigue should be more of a burden on players. I have seen people on myteam spin with LeBron all game and he has a Gatorade symbol under him and yet he is still getting spin dunks and running the floor faster than a well rested Dominique.
4)Your exhibition game records against the AI should not be shown in online mode.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

1. Why are the starters still on the court when my team is up by 20 in my career? I'd like to know the reasoning behind this. garbage time basketball pls.
2. Tom Thibodeau should not be sitting on the bench at any point during a game? for shame.
3. Opponent scouting reports , team tendencies, slumps streaks or injuries before you start each game in my career.
4. Why do opposition players always cut to their box out animations after the ball is released which inevitably leads to a missed shot 100% of the time any other time the the ball is shot and the basket is made no one boxes out.The AI AWAYS boxes out because it anticipates the missed shot an never a made shot, fix this.
5. Carlos boozer's on court profanity, inexplicably missing.
6. The crowd (per usual) still sucks. crowd is dancin and cheering after your team is blownout, nice work 2k.
7. Summer league play and D league tryouts to make the roster this time around.

Sliders for My Career mode. If 2K is worried about boosting they can make users earn less VC if sliders are edited.

Love every one of these. One thing I constantly harp on is the lack of work put into the coaches. Doc is about the same as Karl is the same as D'antoni is the same as (shudder) Del Negro. They should have much more detailed attributes, but your Thibs comment also brought to light that they should also have their own signature style of a sort. Some coaches are yellers and sideline stalkers, while others are more laid back and take their seats more often. That should be reflected in the game. Heck, little things like Phil Jackson's whistling and Red Auerbach's victory cigar would be icing on the cake. In addition, some coaches DO play their starters in garbage time, and perhaps that would be yet another thing to take into account.

Summer league and D-League need to be implemented/re-implemented, no doubt there.

A good detailed scouting report would be really cool, giving us top scorers, key matchups/potential mismatches, top % plays, overall style and such.

Shame the ESRB would nuke it, but audio tidbits like Boozer's endless profanity, Nate Robinson's infinite motor mouth and Garnett's masterful trash talk would make for a true NBA experience.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

1. Replays at dead ball situations instead of right after a dunk.

2. Replays on other stuff than just dunks and fancy layups. Also show when you break someone's ankles and fouls that lead to free throws, even if the ball doesn't go in.

3. More in-game stats!

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

What is the purpose of having endorsment deals in my career mode if they have no impact whatsoever on your pay day?
the game should aknowledge whenever your player goes to finals 2 times in a row. they asked my player what it feels to be in the finals for the first time even though i won the title the season before....
also they should give us more control on the passes. i want to be able to throw lob passes, bounces passes, flashy passes and chest passes whenever i feel like it.

give us the sliders in mycareer and the alternate jerseys too.
its supposed to be the main mode of the game yet it becomes really boring after a season or 2


give the crowd more reactions too ,but it has already been said.


fix the cpu and their spidey senses. a cpu player should not be able to steal a pass while he's turning his back to the ball

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

We need to bring back the proper contact dunk animations, like from nba 2k11.
At the moment players just slide out the way.we want to see it when your player pushes them through a dunk animation or grabs on to them and poesterizes them. It makes the game look more realistic.

[sleepyshotta]

Bring all that cool stuff from the College Hoops series. I shouldn't have to get too specific, because you all know that after all these years the NBA series still hasn't had the 'Coach's Halftime Adjustments' and the 'weekly “shows” that talk about the games from the previous week or the upcoming week' as of yet. I thought adding features like that to the NBA series were no brainers. Ofcourse there are probably more features from College Hoops that could/should make their way to the NBA 2K14 and beyond, but the last College Hoops was so long ago, and I can't remember them all.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

Please 2k. Fix online leader boards. I wish yall go back to the old days where winning and playing better competition improves your rank. Have real leader boards and true ranks. The online rank system should be set up so that you play someone thats around your level if there available. I think madden does it. And bring back playing friends in rank games. It shouldn't affect your rank much but it should affect your win/loss column. Also bring back ranked lobbies. And online ranked games should atleast be on the superstar level.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

All Signature Skills that give boost to ratings (Floor General/Defensive Anchor, Dimer and Interceptor) should be either removed or reworked. Things that affect "intangible" things such as Bruiser, Charge Card and Deadeye should remain.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

played a few more quick matches tonight...wow

after playing tonight, it's clear that online is even worse than i previously thought. the 3 pt success is inexcusable for a game that calls itself a "sim". the crazy scoring runs to help the losing team come back are insane. online this game seems tailor-made to aid children and "unfortunate" adults in competing with very little skill or decision making ability.

a sad, sad person can actually compete simply by jacking up 35+ 3 pointers. most of them CONTESTED...this person might not win, but they can keep the game much closer than it should be. one guy took 15 3's with Durant and made 11 of them. 10 of them were contested, only 1 was open on a fast break. that's 73 percent...on 3's that were almost all contested. why even bother running plays or trying to get open? Durant shouldn't even be making 73 percent of his OPEN 3's, let alone guarded 3's.

2k11 was not perfect, but based on which shots went in, it was clear 2k's goal was to reward and encourage skill and good decision-making. open shots and shots off of plays went in way more than just trying to score 1-on-1 and jack up shots. now, in 2k13, it seems that they wanted to make scoring 1-on-1 easier so casual people could compete without needing to run plays or find good shots. i can't say i'm surprised, since gaming companies have such pressure to increase their sales every year...but i just wish there was an enjoyable online experience in which success isn't arbitrary and handed out like a cookie to a toddler.

here's how 2k should address it: when you go to do a quick match online...make the user choose if they want a "sim" quick match, or a "casual" quick match. wins in sim quick matches would be worth twice as much as wins in casual quick matches...then the rankings would reward the people who choose to play sim more than those who play casual quick matches. casuals could still play their garbage ball and get a 1200-200 record, but they couldn't get very high on the leader boards because they played all of their games on casual.

Sliders for My Career mode. If 2K is worried about boosting they can make users earn less VC if sliders are edited.

I was just coming in here for this. THIS IS MANDATORY! My Career is being ruined by horrible CPU teammate play, and CPU teams cheating.

Also I would like them to allow multiple USERS to play in a My Career Mode. This would be much more fun than just 1 guy.

Also allow more simming features during My Career. Sick of having to play a ton of games I really don't want to play, even if they are generated key games.

How about allowing to skip through the repetitive interviews after the game? Either this or add Halftime interviews and post-game on the court interviews, THAT CAN BE SKIPPED IF NECESSARY!

Canned animations need to stop yesterday! The game just looks ridiculous when this happens time and time again! Common it's starting to play like EA titles!

NBA D-League to help develop players or call up a gem here and there.

Fix the All-Star competitions. The 3-Point Contest is laggy and unresponsive enough. The Dunk Contest isn't bad.

Can we get some better Commentary? Add Kenny Smith to the Dunk Contest Commentary team.

Older players need to see rating drops and attributes drop. And stop making dominant teams simply because 1 star joins them. The Detroit Pistons shouldn't play like the Miami Heat just because Dwight Howard is on the team. He can play dominant, but the rest of the team shouldn't. And they shouldn't play dominant as a team either. This makes the game arcadish.

Re: NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

remove "play the passing lane" tendency on a user's game slider (on simulation at least).
