NBA 2K14 Wishlist Thread

[Optik]

I really hope the devs make the big men hold the ball up high when they rebound the ball. Having them bring it down to their waist is annoying, especially when it's a defensive rebound, as people always look to swipe at it online.

Quicker escape dribbles and pull up jumpers.

Realistic closeout speeds (i.e. no players lunging at breakneck speeds to closeout)

Spectator Mode on PS4, nice addition to have in Sim OAs.

No sliding.

There should always be contact where contact happens. If some is trying to turbo to the rim with Lebron, don't let him run in place until he gets by me. If i beat him to the spot, it should be a charge.

Nerf the spin layups/dunks. If i stop a guy from getting to the basket, why can he just double tap circle to slide my player outta the way for an easy bucket?

Get rid of the double-tap commands. Makes the game too easy for people to cheese. 2k should pride themselves on how intuitive the right stick controls are. Make users learn to use it rather than making it easier by allow them to double tap square or X.

Give users as much control on defense as you do on offense. This game sucks for defensive minded players because most of the defense settings don't work (Deny Ball, Strong Hedge etc.), animations strip you of control (can't closeout on a shooter, you player has his ankles broken even though you anticipated correctly), and even when you do everything right your opponent does a spin layup, up and under, or an unstoppable dump off pass right under the basket for an unguardable standing dunk.

Get rid of eurostep jumpers and self alleys.

Make this game SKILL BASED again like in the past. If im clearly better than a guy let me dominate him, like in the past. Basketball IQ on 2k isn't a necessity to do well anymore. The game is scripted to cater toward the power teams, which i personally don't believe should be a feature in online competitive play. Definitely offline against the CPU, but not online. There is no reason my 25 point lead should dwindle down online, when i'm still executing plays, taking good/open shots, and playing good defense. That should never happen.

Like they should mention how someone is close to surpassing whomever on whatever all-time record list. I'm sure Kobe's gonna pass some more people in scoring, and we all know he doesn't retire when his contract is up in the videogame. Just an example.

I agree, and they also should allow you to select which jersey's to wear in MyPlayer, along with home and away accessories (Black socks, arm sleeves, etc) It really annoys me when I'm playing for a team on the road and my player is in white socks and default kicks colorways smh

I appreciate the addition of "live ball physics" but please, please remove the ability to block pump fakes. It's unrealistic and annoying. This was an issue in 2K12 as well

Agree, that is one of the WORST glitches since 2k12. Especially when it's a PG or undersized SG blocking the shot.

[hear me now]

Someone had an idea for a signature skill: "intimidator"-the presence of this player's defense will make opponents do shot adjustments. I think that would be a good way to use the leaning layup animation that a lot of people hate. That skill could be the trigger and otherwise it wouldn't happen. It should have an effect against scrubs/unathletic players though. Hibbert should be one that would qualify for that skill and Melo went right at him in the playoffs,only to be blocked. A player like LeBron would challenge naturally,and somebody like Jason Kidd last season would go into a leaning layup. Maybe have a confidence rating too?

They could link it to awareness and height.

That's confirmed? We should be able to steal easily,or get a jump ball after mutliple pump fakes.
