along with the shoes is the ability to edit things on the shoes individually like MLB the Show does. So you can have logo, base, laces, accent, sole so you can get accurate colorways. And the arm sleeves need to look much more realistic and not be so bulky, they should look tight on the arm so you can still see the player's definition.

Now I'm with you on that one. We can ask all we want I doubt they'll change. I do hope at least the shoes get some fixes

I don't know if this fits in the parameter's of this thread but the first page said "player faces" so I figure it does.

Wilson Chandler needs to be redone next year. They should put him in with his beard and his uncut hair because he keeps it that way through most of the season, usually all winter. He needs his tattoos next year because without them he's going to look generic with or without a new face. Here's a few pictures of his face/hair/beard and some of his tattoos, I'll post some of his player model later for comparison.

When players get injured they should show they going to the locker room with trainers, probably in a cut-scene. And if given the o.k to play it should show them coming out of the locker (limping, or favoring whatever part of body).

To add onto what gabe said, when players get injured, his teammates shouldn't move 10 feet away from him as if he has a disease. Teammates should be assisting the injured player.

I would like to see 3D hair similar to Madden's 3D grass. To go along with this, each style should have several lengths so appearances can change throughout the seasons. Same thing for facial hair. You should be able to change hairstyle and facial hair of current players as well... FULL EDITABLE.

More accurate faces, for examples go to www.Moddingway.com

Different jersey fits and short lengths.

D Rose knee sleeves.

Socks should have more variety in length, you should be able to make the sock underneath an ankle brace barely come up.


When editing a player you should be able to decide what accessories, but not the color until the screen right before tip-off. This way you could make every player's headbands, arm accessories, and leg accessories match without editing each player. Example:
If I were playing as the Bobcats, before the game starts I would be able to make everyone's headbands: orange, arm accessories: white, leg accessories: white, socks: white. Another example:
Headbands:Black, arm accessories: white, leg accessories: white, socks: white.
--It just seems more quick and efficient.

^^ Full color palette for every accessory.^^

Shoes-- ability to edit the ENTIRE shoe, not just 3 parts
