2K13 Wishlist

Look at these videos (they are all under a minute, most under 10 seconds).

It sums up a lot of what's wrong in the game from, non-responding controls, canimations, bad shot adjustment (which should not trigger on their own, it should be up to us to change the shot or not), to weird and spastic movements, etc.

Please look at and fix these issues 2K...

From blues rocker:

"on offense i'd like to see smarter off-ball movement by AI teammates - meaning they should know when to stay put on the perimeter and when to make a cut. too often my off-ball teammates just make poor cuts, or they try to cut to the hoop when there is no opening. when i'm controlling the ball handler and I'm moving around, driving etc...AI teammates aren't good enough at recognizing open spots on the court - they should move to areas that put them in the best position to score. or when i'm dribbling toward them, they should clear out of the way rather than blocking my path or running directly into me. or, if you are cutting toward the hoop, your teammates should move out of the paint to open it up.

one annoying behavior I've noticed is when the paint is crowded with players, one of my guards will often cut toward the hoop and run into the crowd. what good does that do? he would've been better off just staying on the perimeter...but instead he came into the paint and made it even more crowded, which just makes things worse. off-ball teammates should be better at recognizing when there is an open cutting lane and when there is a cluster of players in the way.

another example - if a guy is wide open on the perimeter but he's not a good 3 pt shooter, he should not camp behind 3 point line...he should move a bit closer to the hoop so that when you pass to him he will be within his shooting range. it doesn't do me any good to have a bad 3 pt shooter standing around the 3 pt line."

___________________________________________

- Open up all dunk packages to everyone. What if I want to create a small forward or shooting guard and have Blake Griffin's dunk package? He doesn't have to jump as high, obviously... but he could still be able to do the same dunks

- We definitely need wingspan added in this year. Especially with guys like Kevin Durant in the league and then John Henson and Anthony Davis possibly coming in next year. Wingspan can make a world of difference in the game. Just watch Carolina play one time and you'll see how the length of Henson's arms drastically helps him block a lot of shots.

- It should be a necessity for players to move their feet in order to move AT ALL. No sliding.

- Tone down momentum.

- Get completely rid of canned animations, they seem to always play out on Eurosteps. Just let them finish the second step for God's sake.

- Hands should actually touch the ball. If there is contact, the players should actually MAKE contact.

- Make controls responsive, if I flick the shot stick right, the player should shoot to the right (especially with layups and dunks.

- Live up to the promises that you make in the Developer Insights

- What happened to up****** and adding animations throughout the season? Y'all did this in 2K9, why not anymore? What happened to up****** the art throughout the season that was stated in a developer insight?

- LT should mean your player crouches on defense, if you aren't pressing it, you shouldn't crouch.

- Get rid of the psychic AI defense

- Fix the broken passing game

- As far as offensive controls, if I'm inside of 12-14 feet of the basket and I have LT held down, it should be a hopstep, eurostep, or reverse dunk (depending on what you put in obviously), even if you are cutting across the lane. I was holding down LT earlier, and I tried to do a hopstep layup but my guy decided to do a running hook. If I am NOT holding down LT then that's fine to have the running hook, but I was holding it down... controls should do what they are supposed to. Outside of that range if you are holding LT then it should be the clutch animation shot or whatever it's called, with the setup dribble and stepback or pullup or whatever.

- Get rid of the icy feel to man-to-man defense

- PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND LOOK AT RONYELL'S ROSTER, THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD GET FROM YOU GUYS!

- Abilities should matter, I actually had Shannon Brown jump as high as the backboard the other day (which was more of a canimation issue). Ronnie freaking Turiaf jumped as high as LeBron earlier to block a shot. Pretty sure he can't get up like that.

- Fix the CPU speed issue where they have a huge Sonic the Hedgehog boost on fastbreaks.

- It also looks like when the CPU gets a block, there is like an invisible step or they levitate, THEN jump up for the block, which gives them an extra 6 inches on their vert.

- As far as dunks, how about not having the same dunks play out over and over and over again. Especially dunks that players rarely do. For some reason, LBJ's and Kobe's "main" dunks are double pumps, I mean... WHAT?

- Go back to the layup and dunk controls that were in 2K11. They seemed more fluid and were easier to control.

- How about if a team runs uptempo in real-life... they should actually play uptempo.

Ex. Instead of going to those cut scenes, these teams (Suns, Heat, Warriors to name a few) should take the ball out QUICKLY instead of walking to take it out and then the opportunity of a fast break is gone. These teams should sprint down the floor looking for a quick 2 points, that's what they do in reality...

- I'd like to see 2K do a little of what Madden did this year and implement the cold streaks and hot streaks, so that ratings can change from game to game, it would make it so every game is even more unique

yes when you create a team let them have a season and for the shoes let every shoe have a edit like nike id and have more shoes for addidas also the accesories like derrick rose have the leg sleeves and addidas sleeves also for allstar show them going to the hotel and show them walking into the stadium. and you should have warmup practice before games.make the players look bettermake their shots betteron association mode you should be able to edit clothes colors anything and have the bulls opener with benny the bull also diffrent color head bands and pads just like real life and it would be so much better

# 2 arron12345 @ Feb 20

also when they are going on the bench put their warmup suits back on and make them really get mad at the referrees

# 3 arron12345 @ Feb 20

you should be able to talk for interviews after the game on association mode

wingspan is the most important thing i want becasue it affects a lot of players and would actually be a challenge to make layups without getting blocked. Also would make more players feel different than others.

- More player control, without the lengthy animations. What about a block? Can I control when and what direction to swipe and jump?

- Collisions and contact with any body part. Why are limbs still going through torsos, heads and other limbs? If i'm dunking, and I have a 99 dunk and 99 vertical, why does my whole shot change? Why can't my bottom half adjust to the collision while my upper half attempts to finish the move? Why can't limbs bend and move realistically when in contact?

- Some steal animations need to go! Any animation that puts the other team at a disadvantage needs to go.

- Implement Natural Motion if at all possible, otherwise clean up animations so the transitions look believable.

- BALL PHYSICS!!! Please do something about the weird warping whenever the ball is touched on a block attempt. Get rid of the force-field around the ball. And at least sink the hands into the ball so it looks like the player is holding it.

- CREATED PLAYER SKIN TEXTURES!!! Look at MLB The Show's c.a.p and maybe expand on their ideas. What are the chances of using a real NBA player as a template before editing? Why has this part of 2K ball fallen short everytime? PLEASE FIX THIS ****!

As I say everytime in similar threads, there is so much more to add but will list more later. By the way, i've been asking for these and more since 2K7...

great ideas guys,i love the template for CAPS being real players,if the models look like a certain player,maybe we can make a few alterations and create who we want without starting from scratch.
we need to have the online be taken care of.online association was a huge hit,they need to hit the nail on the head this time,and push to what they aspired this mode to be from the beginning.everything and more should be available in the online association when compared to the regular association.they need to have a mobile app so that we can make trades or adjust options anywhere.
ive been saying this for years,but we dont need to have the shot stick on and available all the time,there should be a modifier that we can toggle on and off,so that we can have some of the dribbling on the right stick ala nba live..theres nothing like the control and potential fluidity of having dribbling on the right stick.i say potential,because its only THAT good when its done right,and who better to do it right than 2k?there are certain dribbles that you just cant do without a dedicated analog,trust me if you go back and play live 10 like i have,you will notice the void in the dribbling thats there despite the 2yr difference between these titles.

My wish is an awesome basketball game that includes all the features it once had and should still have.

# 8 LeBron4MVP @ Feb 24

10 THING I WISH FOR IN AN NBA2K GAME....

1. I wanna see more CELL-SHADED graphics.. FULL TIME! NOBODY ASKED FOR IT... BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANT MORE THAN WE DO!!

2. More long, drawn-out, non-user-controlled animations... I LOVE THOSE!

3. Make 3 pointers even EASIER TO HIT ON HALL OF FAME DIFFICULTY... (I'M ONLY AVG'ing 50% NOW)

4. Call even FEWER FOULS when MY VIBRATING CONTROLLER clearly indicates that a mugging took place.

5. Make calling plaYS even more unnecessary than it is now.

6. Make online play a little more unstable... ESPECIALLY 4 months AFTER release.

7. Have only ONE, SINGLE LEADERBOARD... EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL GAME MODES AND DIFFICULTY LEVELS.... I LOOOOOOOVE NOT HAVING LOGICAL OPTIONS!!

8. MATTER OF FACT... STRIP A FEW MORE GAME MODES OFF THE RETAIL PRODUCT AND KEEP THE PRICE THE SAME!!... THAT'S A SPECTACULAR BUSINESS MODEL.

9. I want to see tipped pass after tipped pass by defenders who must be CLAIRVOYANT because their eyes NEVER made contact with the ball! That is sooooo awesomely realistic.

10. I want a game that is clearly not supposed to be played by more than one human at a time... an NBA-RPG, if you will... SWEET!

WAIT... I HAVE EVERYTHING I WISHED FOR... it's called NBA2k(insert year here).
