NBA 2K15 Wishlist

[mjswooosh]

1. Local HDD roster editing and saves.
2. Ditch VC or at least roll it back and out of MyGM. If it must be used, use it for extras like head-bands and shoes, not core functions like being able to tweak roster lineups for God's sakes! This just reeks of cash grab and threatens the long-term viability of this franchise.
3. Ditch the HORRIBLE anti-ergonomic menu and give us something simple and functional.
4. Give us the option to unify the experience by editing/saving/using a single roster across all game modes. Whether I want to have different line-ups and players or the exact same roster for Quick Game vs. MyGM, I should have the option.
5. Allow the use of "currently injured" players to be used in Quick Game. This is a no-brainer.
6. Likewise, allow us to put any players on any team, CPU or user controlled, on the injured reserve list and be able to make sure those players do not play for as long as we don't want them to.

My God, what you were thinking 2K? This is all basic stuff that should never have been removed. There's a whole different list for things that need to be added in order to actually make this a "Next Gen" basketball sim. This title actually went backwards and I'm beginning to think no amount of patching is going to fix this. I'll give it a few more weeks but if these issues aren't addressed, it's back to Amazon for a refund. If there was a "lemon law" that covered video games this would be an open and shut case.

All I want is the game to be about basketball again. Whenever anyone talked about 2k10 or 11 most people talked about how good the game was. All I'm trying to say is that I don't want to pay 60 dollars for several headaches again.

One super minor but important to me addition that probably isn't hard to implement, how often do you see teams call timeouts immediately after scores unless it's late in the game or half or whatever? Not very often. Be nice to see teams bring the ball across and then see a timeout taken. I do it often, but hte CPU never does.

As far as I'm concerned the script in My Player is the wrong way to go... I hate talking to my friends about my My Career and having the same experience as them, there's absolutely no dynamic to it.

Also make My Career more difficult. I shouldn't be able to drop 38 points at will during my rookie year and I shouldn't be forced to. make my teammates more skilled and intelligent.

Bring back Draft Combine, Summer League and training camp but make them optional. also allow me to sim through games if I feel like playing through these events but not playing every game. Also apply this to the regular season and post season. It's called my career for a reason I shouldn't be forced to do anything I don't want to do.

Return to the format of you starting as a very low overall. If 2k is going to continue to implement VC you should not be able to simply buy yourself a 99 ovr my player and if you do you should be spending a lot of money to do so. Have us start as 40 overalls again so we can actually be forced to work hard and make our characters into decent player, no more instant gratification.

Improve Defense and Rebounding

We should be able to modify our attribute caps at the start of our my player. instead of giving us a preset play style we should be able to create OUR OWN for OUR MY PLAYER. We should be able to give two skills a 99 attribute cap, 3 a 95, 4 a 90, 5 a 85 and so on. This would make for so many different play styles and force players to play to their strengths

And last but not least return bring back the online my player modes that were first introduced in 2k10 and 2k11. You had a great thing going there was no reason for you to change it. Remove the park and bring back 5v5 my player blacktop with 5 minute quarters, fouls (meaning all fouls), NBA regulation court, and superstar simulation game settings. And bring back Crew along with it... THE ORIGINAL CREW not that NBA 2k14 current gen BS.

ability to use every jersey in my career idk how long we been asking for it.

better speed difference

better movement off ball and with ball

less sliding

i only want to move a few inches not slide a whole yard when i move the L-stick in a direction.

ability to move without getting caught up in unbreakable animations that slow you down.

I shouldn't have to run out of bounds to freely

more variety to make every player feel different.

Better A.I. players should play more like themselves why do i have to wait for Roster Makers to make a game more enjoyable when they not building the
game.

NO more telepathy defenders. If their not looking at ball they shouldn't be able to see where its going unless they turn their head around than awareness and other D attributes should come into play.

Smoother passing if i'm close by low post player and I pass it to him i don't want to see my player float ball in air when we 3 feet away.

Back to u can choose which side you layup/dunk on. if i want to go right i push RS right

ABILITY TO GO UNDRAFTED or EVEN late 2nd Round i hate going in 1st round. i think 2k10 r 2k11 i went 2nd round loved it.

a 60 overall player shouldn't be taking starting spot from star player or anyone unless the starter overall isn't that far from yours.

U shouldn't be force to be starter like my PG for the Bucks year 2 is starter while real life starter is coming off bench.

Ability to become star you always labeled as starter no matter your Overall why cpu players go from role to Star.

I'd like to see the Summer League, D-League and Draft Combine in MyCareer and MyGM.

[mwd333]

1. I would like to see more fouls called out on the perimeter, as everybody knows the game has changed so much in real life that now all the advantages on the perimeter go to the offensive player. When Durant, wade, Kobe, Melo are sizing up their defender and setting them up many defenders will try to push up on them or reach and consequently be called for a personal foul. It also leads to a change in balance because if a Durant or bron or Melo gets called for 2 quick fouls it can lead to the other team being able to hang in for Long periods of the game, momentum swings.

2. I would like to see a revamped crowd and momentum swing type system. I have always believed in every sports game their should be a momentum bar or meter because it is part of the game. We see all the type now a couple offensive plays or defensive plays in a row that can sway the could into a frenzy or shut them up especially in critical moments. When the playoffs come around that type of swing can ultimately win or lose a game for you and sometimes one player can singlehandedly win and lose a game for you.

3. I would like to have the experience of seeing a player just get hot and to the point and score 50-60 point game. It happens in real life while it might happen weekly, I have never played a game in 2k in all my years where a player gets hot and his teammates just feed him the ball, and while that happens I want to see my team losing their confidence and be emotionally distraught because they know their is nothing they can do. Those type of experiences are what makes the NBA what it is, those performances that just make you say wow.

4. I would like to see in association mode a section where you can see highlights of other games that have been played during the week or are currently being played. Kind of like a sportscenter type section with interviews from a Stephen a smith, skip bayless, Barkley, Kenny smith, Shaw, jalen rose, bill Simmons, magic Johnson. Something to the extent where we know what's going on around the league and we can get other peoples opinions on predictions and who are the favorites to win. They can also go into depth on mid season awards and pre season awards and they can also comment on the off season and what might happen, what could happen. You know like a real life because things change every single day and we like to know what other people think, and you can also have the players fire back at what the analysts say have it all intertwined. If my time is doing terrible I want to know what they think.

5. I would like to see the big games in the season really matter more and the intensity rise and the emotion really play out to a higher extent. Like in todays NBA (Mia vs. Okc), ( Mia vs chi), ( okc vs. Lac), ( bos vs. Ny), ( ny vs. Mia), Mia vs. Indy, okc vs. Port, hou vs. Port, all those the games matter more not only because of playoff ramifications but the players don't like each other. I hope to be able to build rivalries in the association by playing numerous close games against an opponent or meeting the same opponent in consecutive years in the playoffs. I just think that certain games need to be ratcheted up more and the crowd can really have a big effect on those games or no effect at all.

6. I would like to see a revamped CPU gm logic, basically making it that if a team wants to rebuild by dumping contracts and acquiring picks they need to have that built into their thinking but not into their whole organization, mainly when something like that occurs its the gms idea. So when the owner hires gm I think it would be best to give him a deadline or aka (contract) and if it doesn't work out then well guess what the gm gets fired. I'm thinking though just because that certain gm failed with one organization by way of rebuild does not mean he will automatically fail by way of rebuild with another organization. In my opinion I would like to see unpredictability from organization to organization and owner to owner. It is evident because even this year the Lakers cannot buy their way to a championship as they usually and they have some big decisions to make. In my opinion nothing is guaranteed.

7. I would like to see multiple different potential ratings for players. As we all know not every first round pick turns out to be an all star, I think it would be smart to have each player have his potential rating a range of numbers and depending on his production during the year and consistency throughout his career and also are the players numbers increasing from year to year. Such as ppg, RPG, apg are they increasing from year to yet then I don't have a problem with the potential rating being increased. However after the players 5th or 6th year in the league I think the potential rating should be set in stone, i would like to see the rating have a variance so that you don't end up with the same ratings in every single association we play.

8. I would like to see injuries affect players performance on the court and it actually be evident. I want to see lingering injuries keep popping up throughout the season, such as if a certain player has a strained hamstring, deep ankle sprain, sprained shoulder, ligament damage or whatver. Lingering injuries can severley hinder ones play and i want that to be evident, show some cut scenes showing some angst in the players face.

9. I would like to see trades go further in depth from the standpoint of let us trade 5,6,7 years ahead of time in yes of draft picks if we are trying to acquire a superstar player. I think you need you to make the CPU stop be so damn stingy and this ties in to the organizations and different gms roles and personalities willing to make trades to build for the future. On the other hand if I'm trying to rebuild I want an offer of multiple picks and salary dumping contracts to set my sights on the future. Its part of the NBA and I think it needs to be recognized.

10. I would really like to see player development in a different action. Nowadays usually players truly by on court action, now the problem is in 2k most of the time a player is only going to play up to his ratings where as in real life a rookie could come in, in his very first game and score 25 points. We just don't know until that rookie gets a chance to play because in real life that player doesn't have a rating. With 2k chances are that rookie isn't going to score 25 in his first game unless he is top 5 pick. I really don't think that is fair it takes the unpredictability out of it. I think there needs to be a hot and cold streak Instead of ratings for first and second year players. After their full 2nd season in the league then 2k establishes a rating going forward. For the already established players in the league the hot and cold streak needs to be very balanced because you have to ask yourself for lbj, kd, Melo, Steph curry, kyrie what is hot and what is cold. If lebron is averaging his usual stats and kd is averaging his usual stats he shouldn't be notified as being on a hot streak, in game is a different scenario. I just think for rookies don't them an established rating because the unpredictability is taking out. Even if a player is drafted top 5 that doesn't mean their first game they should be dropping double doubles ( Greg oden "cough cough".

p.s. All of mine are for association mode, EVERY OTHER MODE IN THE GAME SHOULD BE DESTROYEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSDDDDDSDDSDDDDDDDDD DDDDDD
