How about a coach mode where you can work your way up to a head coach from an assistant coach. Also the changing of the Charlotte Bobcats to the Charlotte Hornets.

Please make the AI atleast somewhat decent with team management. We shouldn't have to run 30 team control to get realistic smart decisions. I hate CPU teams drafting PGs in the first round 3 years in a row.

Also, like real life, a small market team like the Jazz are forced to build through the draft while teams like the Lakers can attract the big starts in free agency. This would be awesome to have in the game as well.

Probably been mentioned before, but please ensure that players are more aware of their surroundings and set their feet correctly around the baselines and near mid court.

I was playing Bulls vs Thunder in Association Mode, had the ball for what would be the last possession of the game with 17.4 on the clock and down by 1. I give the ball to Rose, they double. I pass it to Boozer. I give the ball back to Rose, who is a few feet away from midcourt. As the defender approaches him, he decides to take 2 steps back without user input, resulting in a backcourt violation and ruining what would've been a great finish of a great game.

It's so frustrating that when you have an awesome game against the AI things like this happen to ruin the experience. To clarify further, this happens too to the AI as they caught in crazy animations in key moments that result in turnovers.

Guys I have a couple ideas, and I know it's long but give it a shot and let me know what you think of these.

Spacing issues have already been highlighted but I want to do an even better job of summing it up here.

Constantly when using the LB to call a pick and roll, teammates that should be spotting up behind the three point line will stand far too close to the pick and roll action thus jamming up the lane. For instance: A lineup of Rubio, Martin, Budinger, Love and Pekovic, for example, when running a pick and roll with Pekovic and Rubio; Love, Budinger, and Martin should all surround the three point line while Rubio and Pekovic run the pick and roll to effectively maximize the opportunity to drive the lane and pick apart the defense.

To be even more specific; using the previous example, if Rubio is double teamed at the top of the key on a pick and roll by the hedge man and the on ball defender, the defender from the weak side should come crash the lane to help a rolling Pekovic going toward the basket. This would shine a beautiful light on Ricky's passing ability as he could fire it into the short corner for an open shot if the defender helped enough.

Help schemes in the NBA are the most significant operation of an NBA defense when countering an effective, floor spacing offense. A team such as Minnesota or San Antonio should have a terrific time penetrating the lane because of the respect that the deep shooters demand on the outside. On the contrary, a team such as Charlotte with MKG and Henderson on the wings, or Memphis with Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince, should have a much trickier time maneuvering the lanes and prodding the defense for open shots.

This is precisely where the more finer tweaks to the passing game need to be upgraded this year. In addition to spacing, there needs to be more specific and precise off ball cuts to the basket this year to highlight the skill level of effective passing big men. Players such as the Gasols, Noah, Monroe, David Lee, etc can cause a defense nightmares through their proficiency in operating from the high post in real life. However, few plays actually succeed in effectively highlighting their skill level in 2K13. In 2K13 it is nearly impossible to record high assist levels from big men simply because when operating from the high post there is an incomplete amount of off ball movement. When working with a player such as David Lee from the elbow, the option is limited to either a pull up or a drive into what will most likely be a clogged lane and forcing up a contorted shot over the trees.

I would love to see more movement in these situations, specifically involving plays around dribble handoffs. Players such as Harden, Paul George, and Bradley Beal excelled in the dribble handoffs when working with Nene and David West, (and Nick Collison at the time for Harden), and I would love to see it being replicated in 2K. For instance: Nene has the ball on the right elbow. Beal comes around the baseline chased by a defender to be denied the original handoff from Nene that would have gone into the lane, but quickly cuts the other way into the corner for an open Corner three. These plays, while not the bread and butter of most NBA offenses, are still very effective, and can maximize the skills of some skilled big men in the NBA. Please 2K, create more opportunities for big guys to work off of the elbow to highlight their offensive effectiveness.

Marc Gasol is not effective by crashing offensive boards as 2K portrays him now, rather, he's effective hitting Tayshaun Prince on the baseline cut, Tony Allen on the outlet pass, and Mike Conley on the handoff at the top of the key.

I'd like to see a couple of things. My apologies if they have already been said.

1. Between quarters and at half I'd like to have time to make adjustments like a time out instead of going right into gameplay.
2. When I take the ball out on the side, it's annoying to see my point guard go all the way to other side of the court only for me to have to use 2 seconds or so to bring him all the way back right in front of the inbounder so I can make a safe pass.
3. A portable profile I can take with me from mode to mode.
4. More control over my playbook assigning plays to players instead of to positions.
5. A more flexible timer in association mode.
6. Play diagrams in team up mode if we want to run plays from the playbook.
7. It's pretty easy for people to score off of out of bounds plays from the baseline, be nice if it was a little tougher.
8. Online quick match difficulty be upped to hall of fame simulation sliders.
9. Ability to import/modify your own rosters in online association.
10. Ability to see stats from the game in teamup
11. During a timeout in team up, ability to see the game situation, score, time left.
12. Your guys rushing to block out when you are on defense like they do for the guys on the offensive side of the ball.
13. In practice mode, it would be nice to do shooting practice similar to free throw practice that gives you a rebounder and stats on perfect releases and misses and makes.
14. Create your own plays option
15. Ability to create your own team in your own town with your own custom arena that you could take online against others.

I want the game to require practice to be good at. I want playbooks to be a nessessity along with post play, I want defensive bigs like asik to provide help defense on guards driving to the basket, I want star players to NOT be given super powers that make them hit every contested shot, I want online to be competitive for once with balance on offense and defense ............ I want it ALL
