NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

[Wolfpacker67]

one thing that always bugged me is how dead the crowd is...

I really wish the career mode would go the route of year to year saves like MLB The Show. Probably might stay with 2k15 a year or two because I actually want to ho through a career. Still depends on 2k16's quality and whether it's worth starting over.

OK, I'm going to touch on online quick games. This past weekend was the first time I have attempted to play some online quick games on NBA2K15, even though I've had the game since release day. Since NBA 2K11 I pretty much stay away from online quick game because of the lack of realism and cheese and win by any means necessary tactics that people would use it seems like every year with the 2K games. I try to play SIM as possible, run some plays, try to pick apart defense schemes, playing man to man defense, ect. So it seems like every one I played against online displayed the tactic of spam the steal button, or trying to draw charges at half court or near the 3 point line, or use zone defense and bump the dribbler, spam the steal button, and sprint all over the place. On offense players would mostly pick a team with good 3point shooters (mostly Golden State) sprint to the 3 point line and shoot as many 3 pointers as possible, or zig zag around and try to shoot 3's all game. Or get a superstar, like Durant or Westbrook, or Lebron sprint around and try to dunk. After playing about 5 games I reminded myself why I avoid online play over the years, people still try to exploit obvious offense and defensive flaws in the game and turn what supposed to be a SIM basketball series into NBA Jam.

I asked myself, how do people find playing 2Konline fun? I've never played the PARK yet, but I've heard it is the same way. So for NBA2K16, even though I only play online maybe 5% of the time, I would like to see some drastic online changes to the gameplay infrastructure, to start 2K really need to bring back lobbies, so people can choose who they want to play against, and see the person play history/style, ect before engaging in an online game. Have different leaderboards posted in the lobbies with rankings, top 10, ect. As far as gameplay, I just hope somehow in 2K16 can incorporate and encourage a way for people to actually the game like a real NBA basketball game instead of NBA jam. Sorry for the long post, but after finally playing online for the first time this weekend, I had to just sit back and shake my head and say wow......

Gameplay
-fix lag on pleasee ..online should run like career mode
-Smoother movement

-different running animations to choose from when running fast break

More customizations

-tattoos please give us more realistic designs that we see on NBA players
-option to choose body types(but keep arm length span)
-different sock lengths(during all star weekend give us option to use colorful socks like on tv)
-More shoe designs to edit with(ex. Galaxy design from custom sneakers)

Career
-bring back draft combine
-let us be drafted as first pick again

-Let us host our own camps and participate in them
-All star weekend should be just like tv
-Remove attribute upgrades ..give us back attribute caps so C and PF cant play like guards

-Bring back cribs from nba2k5

-IMO i miss 2k14 park with 5v5 in middle and 3v3 around it

I'd kind of like it if the start of my carreer went back to the 2k11 way where you played a few combine type games,showcase game, got drafted, then played in the summer league for a few games...imo it kind of eased the pain of starting out by letting you get a little bump to your stats before you went to the nba.

One thing I've always wanted to see in NBA is the NCAA rights. How great would it be if you could start off in college and then make it to the pros? I'd love that muuuch much more! They need a few different backstories (at least 3) for MyCareer.

And one thing I HAVE to see in next year's game, or I won't be getting it is year-to-year saves. I play 48 min quarters to get realistic stats on MyCareer, so I don't have the time to ever complete a career, so I want to be able to take it over to the next game and carry it on there like on MLB 15 the Show.

I'd like a polished game right out of the box. Too few three point shots and fouls on day one are basics that should be givens by now. The mid-year change to open versus covered shots messed up a

Id like them to add the cycle cameras that they had in CH2k8.
