Remove All VC from MyGM
Make MyCareer More Dynamic And Not As Scripted
Addition of More Legends

[jtb028]

1.) FIX AI ROTATIONS! The AI rotations in 2k are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!! I cannot stress that enough. It's way too formulaic with each starter playing 30+ mins/ game, 6th man playing about 20, and others playing 10 or less. It's been like this in every 2k and it is sincerely getting me angry.

If this game's to be considered a simulation, 2k needs to fix the rotations. The bench becomes a non-factor. In the real NBA, there are plenty of bench players that play 20+ mins on a regular basis; and starters that play less than 30. There's something wrong with this game when, for example, guys like Norris Cole, Chris Andersen, JJ Reddick, Reggie Evans, etc, etc are playing 8 minutes/ game. FIX IT!!!

2.) Fix Attribute Caps: MyCareer/ MyPlayer is broken. Some of these attribute caps are absurd as well. For example, 50 passing cap just because I'm a "big" PF/C. When did passing become a function of height? Guys like Marc & Pau Gasol, Noah, David Lee, KG are great passers -- better than many guards.

Lots of stuff that should be featured in nba2k15 but here are the ones that will make the most impact in making it a must have for nba2k14 fans

Would like to see the NBA2k15 wishlist stickied so we can compile these suggestions into something easy to read for the NBA2k15 staff

Gameplay mechanics -
Charging - would prefer charging only to be called if the player is turbo'ing it into the player, and the players should have 'instinctual' caution so that if they are not turbo charging they will have their animation slowed down to not get called (but at the cost of having steal being particularly vulnerable)

Stealing - major problem in The Park, since there are no shooting fouls, so would suggest that if 3 reaching in fouls are called then the player's steal button is deactivated (I know it's funny, but yet so fair).

Alleyoop success - major problem in The Park is that if you don't do a self alley-oop in MyCareer pro games, then you can't alley-oop to other people because your 'tendency' remains at zero for alley-oop. Alley-oop dynamic needs to be changed because it's too easy to make it very meaningful. Alley-oop success should be risk/reward based on the alley-oop signature skill, and the passing attribute of the passer, and the hands, vertical and athleticism (speed, strength) and the placement of the defender. As it stands, you can have a 25 player catch alleyoops on automatic.

Audio – agree with other poster that there should be more volume change and unique sounds during overtime or last seconds of a match, and more features in playoff games or games of more importance. Could have the announcers actually present during the broadcast in graphical form on the sidelines for marquee matchups and games. Also would be nice to have more dynamic crowd reactions to players if they are having an MVP type season (“MVP MVP” chants) showing there is a dynamic relationship there with the player and his fans. Also if the player bad mouths the opposing team in a press conference, the fans of the opposing team when they are visiting, can start booing the player whenever he touches the ball.

Fan graphics –would be nice to see new animations from fans as you dive into the audience for a loose ball. Also would be nice to see the sidelines behind the basket more inundated with photographers creating possible injuries and animations of players flying into expensive camera equipment.

Flagrant fouling – if the NBA has it, so should NBA2k15. Have an option to do a flagrant foul with chance of being called for it and/or being ejected.
Physical bruising/minor injuries/bleeds – have these tended mid game can take a player out temporarily but have him come back in. Have badges where some players play better after such a confrontation, and others who shrink.

I know it’s not encouraged by the NBA, but who are we kidding, it’s part of the game.

MyGM
Agree we need to remove VC from the MyGM mode entirely. It is misplaced and ruins the GM simulation to have a buy2win element when it is more about managing. Would suggest that leveling up the GM depends on financial success, ability to know other managers and players needs/biases and make better deals (each deal can be graded), and ability to successfully get value from trades and draft picks long-term.
Have 2 modes. One is rookie where people can edit player stats and have myGM as more a fantasy team experience, and a chance to play with their favorite players, and then another at all-star mode, where there is a trophy and a locker code reward or VC reward if you take a non-playoff caliber team into a championship team within 3 years.

My Player
Stat caps need to make more sense. Better posts about this elsewhere
Virtual twitter within myplayer with NBA players following is a nice addition in 14. Would suggest adding more VC challenges as your follower base increases, and cap it at one VC challenge per game in the first year, and then if you get to the playoffs you can take 2, and then if you win the ring, you can take unlimited challenges
More dynamic situations and press conferences with consequences. For example, as before mentioned in game mechanics if you bad mouth the opposing team before their game or their fans or city, you will get booed in the game. Would like mature themes introduced including the downsides of fame, where fans are hating you for your success, and the challenges of having a relationship through fame with all of its temptations. NBA2k14 presents MyCareer as mainly a rise to fame and being the ‘king’ but really doesn’t address the dark side of it as well. Do you use your fame to sponsor or support community initiatives, or do you spend your resources on building up a huge pad.

MyPad– VC can be earned to also build your own home, upgrade your car you drive in each day. It will reflect your decisions in game, i.e. whether you want to be a bachelor, or build a family and challenges of doing that with fame. Confrontations with paparazzi, overzealous fans, etc. The child option allows you to celebrate the championship game with your children, spouse. Or you can have a party in South Beach and crash back at the pad afterwards with teammates. Options are endless.

The Park -
Need to fix the egregious bugs with the server not recognizing players logged out, and games not being able to start. Perhaps set a 'reset switch' mechanic on the court so that if a player recognizes it it forces the server to reconcile who is logged on (if that would in fact fix the problem)

Need to upgrade the grading system to discourage heroballers. Would like to see grade reflect similar things to MyCareer such as pass prior to successful assist, successful screen, and also negative points for poor shot selection (really negative points for this) and successful defensive moves to lower score percentage,etc.

Would be nice to see who on your team is on fire (not the opponent) with a graphical element

Summarize top stats for the day in The Park (preferably without any rewards for points or steals but more a composite score like the grade) and award locker codes or VC (handed to the player in game from the virtual twitter account and redeemable by simply clicking on it) to those who achieve a certain ranking. This would also help people build reputations to get recruited into crews etc.

Have ability to hear players talking walking around the park once you are in a certain distance (would make it easier for friends to play with each other, etc)

Have a 5v5 crew dedicated court in a gym adjacent to the Park

Online crew modes -
Would like to see crews where you can have 5v5 and 3v3 games where each player plays their MyCareer player
Also one where you have a mini fantasy draft of pre-chosen caliber and each player gets randomly assigned a draft order, and then play out a game
Tournament mode where teams can play ‘season games’ which includes 1 game against each other, and then based on final ranking, a NCAA tournament style single elimination competition.

MyTeam
MT costs for packs should be cheaper to encourage players to do the online tournaments, etc. OK to keep VC the same
Perhaps cards could change value based on performance instead of having emerald card releases later in the season
Would be nice to have a player deck given an overall rating based on player score so that it would be easy to tier tournaments. Bronze, Silver and Gold is fine, but somewhat arbitrary and cheesy. An all bronze team is somewhat of a novelty, and a challenge, but more realistic to NBA teams to have the ability have some ‘high salary’ players on a team.

Focus all your resources to making the gameplay better. This game has too many flaws...too many broken game mechanics. I really don't care about any modes 2K added until they fix the mechanic of their gameplay.

1. Get rid of heavy used of animations as part of the gameplay...please. It is so freaking annoying to wait for player animations to finished before you can execute anything. Example, after a basket is scored you try to inbound the pass quickly but you can't do it until the player animations are done. Another example is when player scored and fall ....there is no way to get his butt off the court and get back to playing defense because you can't break the animations. This is what i am talking about....i know for a fact 2K knew about these flaws (there is no way they don't know about it when they play it)...so many broken plays but can't do anything about it due to time limitation. But still, why rush the product knowing there are flaws?? Why not hire more staffs or something. My point is ....DON'T RUSH THE PRODUCT UNTIL YOU'RE SATISFIED!! That's my WISH!
2. Get rid of the crappy rebounding mechanism like there is magnet that draw the players toward the basketball. It looks ridiculous to see all players jumping toward the ball.
3. Alley-oops should not be that easy folks...clean that crap up. It is way too easy to score off alley-oops than shooting 2pts shot...lol. Pretty unrealistic.
4. Lateral passes that mysteriously went through the player or failed to connect even though there is no pressure being applied.
5. Please PLEASE I beg you 2K....focus the ONLINE GAMING MODE!!! Some people like me bought the game solely for online gaming. That's the ultimate competition in a sports game. But this game has too much lags. Focus on making online interface user friendly such as the ability to sub or change strategy at ANY TIME during the game and there should be no interference from bs screens that pop out of no where such as standings or players stats.

So, to sum up my point, make the gameplay better. Change the way you design the gamplay. Get rid of heavy used of animations as part of the gameplay. OR if you're going to allow animations as gameplay, then make it so that EVERY ANIMATIONS at any MOMENT OF TIME can be BROKEN at ANY TIME!! <--IF you can solve this problem in your game, i think you have rid of all the problem that plague this game because that is the SINGLE biggest problem with this game imo. Everything else don't matter that much.
