2K or Live- My biggest requests

Teambuilder

This is my biggest request. I think it would be easier for the Live series considering they already have Game Face and Teambuilder in a couple of their other games, but it would be HUGE for the 2K series. What really made me think about this is the New Orleans new owner saying that he wanted to change the mascot. As a native of Charlotte, NC this of course made me think of the possibility of the Bobcats becoming the Charlotte Hornets once again.
This would need to be an online thing so that you can fully customize everything that you want and download it on 2K Share or over the EA servers.
With this you can create expansions, relocate teams, or simply edit an existing team. In my mind, I would want to make the Bobcats the Hornets, change the logo, colors, court etc. Change the New Orleans Hornets to the New Orleans Jazz and then rename the Utah Jazz something else (maybe the Utah Bobcats?).
If you wanted to create a team, you could start from scratch, and when it came to your roster, you could have the CPU give you computer generated players, or you could use Game Face to get real faces on the team.
You could also relocate teams. Say I want to relocate the Sacramento Kings, I could move them to Seattle, change the mascot to the SuperSonics, and when I edit the roster, I would set it to the current Kings roster. Bada-bing. Bada-boom.
You could create up to 10 expansion teams for a total or 40 teams in the league.

GameFace
This is another big thing that could help both franchises. Being able to get your actual face into the game is huge. Especially if you can still go in and edit hair, facial hair, etc. If 2K doesn't feel like doing art updates (again) I could upload Kobe on GameFace, have that Kobe replace the Kobe that is in game, and voila! I can edit his hair, facial hair, build, etc. myself as the season progresses by simple going into the Edit Player option.
You could also create all the legends and classic teams you want.

Create Draft Classes- Online
Game Face would REALLY help creating draft classes. There are a lot of guys out there that can make the college guys look pretty realistic, but imagine being able to use their ACTUAL faces in the draft class. What would look more realistic than that? Not to mention editing tendencies, ratings, etc. would be a lot quicker on a computer.

If either series does any or all of this, that would probably be the series that I would go with personally.

So I have a couple questions...

1) Would you like to see these features implemented into either of the NBA games?

2) If so, how would YOU utilize them?

I really think this a fantastic idea Jakeness23. What your idea brings to the table is a constant reinventing of the game, and therefore adding that "fresh" intangible to that game. Imagine an online crowdsourced fantasy league. Virtually anything would be possible both for roster makers/editors and people who simply want to have fun and add their personal touch on the game.

That was exactly what I was going for. Because after a while, the game sometimes gets dull, and I think this would keep people playing for a while.
You could have classic rosters, you could create an entire league to replace all of the real teams with your own created teams and have a fully customized league of your own, the possibilities are really endless.

You should post the ideas both on the NBA 2K and NBA Live wishlists!
