I gotta be honest, I was very vocal in my dislikes when it came to 2K13 but looking at this list there's nothing I can say bad. They actually touched on all my issues and then some. I'm so glad they focused on a lot of gameplay improvements! Especially DEFENSE!

Seeing all of this awesomeness on the current gen while makes me anticipate the next gen version so much more.

Unless I'm missing my guess, the Pro Stick will be adding even more passing options to the same right analog? Because, I'm quite sure they already allowed you to directional pass with the right analog, or they did. Or maybe not. But if they've upgraded it, I could really like seeing a game where you can perform the bulk of actions by holding down triggers and flicking the analog.

I mean four triggers, three things to toggle through. Passing, shooting, and dribbling. And turbo.

Watch Turbo become something else that goes the way of the dinosaur once they can figure out how to swing it.


Not to mention that if people don't like the new control scheme, I'm sure an option will exist to use an older one.

Reading through this thread is just crazy to me. For the guys who've constantly posted in this forum and pushed ideas from release to release - we're content because we know they're reading our forums. We may not have gotten everything but seeing how the announced things are implemented could leave us satisfied - especially on this dying generation.

Then info is released and all of a sudden you have a bunch of dudes saying its not good enough or they forgot this - trying to start "revolutions".

You know what group us "regular OS NBA 2K" posters get labeled as? The complainers and the whiners, which is unfair. If you're not doing everything you can (posting on the various 2k forums, twitter or even youtube) to push these "complaints you've had for years" then don't complain now.

Just wait until all the cards are on the table. Consistently and constructively give ideas of how to improve the game. The recipe is simple - we all should be cooking up. If you don't like 2K, go get Live. Too easy.

I don't really see what you're getting at. Maybe you should use specific examples instead of vaguely talking about "a bunch of dudes", and "regular OS 2k posters", that get labeled as "complainers and whiners" (by who exactly by the way?). It's too vague for anybody to consider this post aimed at him personally. Maybe you could be a bit more specific and explain what's wrong with certain posts in your opinion?

More contact in the paint? THANK YOU!! Let's hope this is for real

Officially excited now. EA should take notes.......

Pretty cool to have 2 games around again. The 2k feature list sounds great and for me it's quite simple...completely fixed AI playcalling with touches working in all game modes perfectly, more effective ways to counter offensive moves and improved rosters/association = buy, otherwise no chance. Let's say I'm slightly optimistic, no way 2k is ignoring issues for the 4th straight year...at least I hope so.

IKC says the Adaptive Defensive AI should apply to both CPU opponents and CPU teammates.

This would be fantastic, after yelling at Klay Thompson all night for giving Ridick and Crawford open space off ball and getting splashed in his face.
 
# 174 poiszg @ 08/15/13 07:36 PM
Hopefully as one of the signature skills, they have finally added a player's desire to be a 6th man a la a Jamaal Crawford, Manu Ginobili, Jason Terry, Tyreke Evans, or Ray Allen. Also they should get the ability to add this as they get older based on their personality like (laid back being more likely to accept this role than an expressive nature)

We'll be talking Sig Skills at PAX.

You'll be hearing more then

What would be a win/win is that it says Dollars, but it would be translated to VC.

Like 500 VC (rookie contract) was $1,000,000 shown to you in game, but when you got the VC, it would be 500.

Or go for a "realistic" approach and say 1 VC = $1 in game.

Depends though.

Yea some way so you can have real money but it translated into VC, like you say. Even millions is worth 500. 1,5 million is 750 VC, or something like it.
