NBA 2K15 Wishlist

[sleepyshotta]

Add more records to the game, so I can break em. Like how there are currently no All-Star game, or Rising Star challenge records in the game. Also, have the commentators be aware that these records are about to be broken. They knew in College Hoops 2K8, why not now.

Sure hope someone from 2k has read this..

I have been asking this request since NBA 2k11 and it has still not been put in the game, is very simple and would add so much more to the game (especially since I am always making highlights)

I actually spoke with Mike Wang about this a couple years ago, my feature request is to add the ability for the user to be able to watch a full replay/highlight from the very beginning of the made basket to the very end of the whole play using any camera angle as played in the 'player highlights box score' section. It usually starts off to late into the play as the player is releasing the shot and ends usually right after its made. Can you please add a feature (either in instant replay mode or a seperate section after clicking options/ps4) where the player can choose whichever camera angle of all the ones you have available which are a-lot and play it from the beginning of the play to the very end, the ball goes in the hoop and the camera goes back to the player which i love yet most all the time it cuts off to soon and there is so much more to the play such as a players celebration and intensity that I want it to continue showing. I am always making highlights but it has been so frustrating with the current system that you have it at. If you can please relay this to the presentation guys to where this can be implemented into 2k15 it would mean the world to me. I have been buying this game for many years and I know you listen to so much feedback I just want this simple request. Thanks so much!

I'm sorry I had to create a new thread on this I just want it to be read asap by someone developing the game before its finalized.

Just finished watching a Youtube video of NFL 2K5's offseason. Man, it's amazing how progressive that game was. The presentation was outstanding and fresh. They recapped the offseason, AND the draft. That's nuts. It's time for NBA 2K to make that presentation jump. I have faith the team will iron out most of the gameplay wrinkles from 2k14. But it's time for an NFL 2K level presentation overhaul. NBA 2K already has the graphics. The player models are great (just need a few more body types) already. Its time for the presentation to step up in a big way.

First off, fix the virtual currency
It's somewhat of a good idea but it has too many drawbacks

Next, put some logic in free agents and trades (in my season Lebron decided to take his talents to Salt Lake City, which we can all agree won't ever happen) also put in loyal team player discounts in the game (ex: Dirk Nowitzki)

Replace the broadcasting with like a TNT broadcast with an in game ticker and have like what NFL 2k5 had with an espn highlights of the night and stats

Also reduce the number of blocks a user team has. 21 blocks a game isn't realistic

Also I don't like the way that you can't edit rosters without downloading it so fix that
And also, fix it to where the crowd can act dynamically to the situation and improve their appearance. Such as what MLB 14 The Show did with fans holding signs and cheering

Lastly, the ability to build new stadiums, get new jerseys and to retire jerseys in your franchise
That would be cool

If you add this kind of stuff to what already in my opinion is the best and consistent gaming franchise aside from FIFA, you probably have the greatest game in the world.

I'm sure many of my points have been said by others, but I still feel the need to share them because as much as I enjoy this game, there's so many things that need to be fixed.

I'm a huge fan of MyCareer, and I was excited during my first play-through because even though it was pretty obvious where most of the cut-scenes were leading, it was pretty entertaining to see my player interacting with other players on the team and so on. But when I started to experiment with other positions, I realized just how bland the story really is.

A street baller becomes an Nba superstar in just a few months. That about sums up the story, and I don't like it all.

There is no substance at all building up to your draft position. One game doesn't determine where you get drafted in real life, and Joel Embiid knows this well because everyone wanted him at first until he was injured, and he fell to No.3. As many have said before, the Combine should be brought back. But even before that, we could have a game or two in college to solidify what kind of prospect we are going into the Combine.

And then the interviews should actually have an affect on where we get drafted. I've made multiple players and gotten interviewed by teams who I tell I would love to play for, but they don't draft me, even when I'm playing a position they could really use some help with. Fix the Draft logic. The Pelicans or Trailblazers could use a Center to play beside Davis or Aldridge yet they pass on me for no reason, even when they interview me. That doesn't make any sense.

Moving on, as many also said, bring back the Summer League and D-League please! Not every rookie goes straight to the Nba. This would add so much depth to MyCareer if we actually had to prove that we're Nba ready. There's a cut scene after your first two games where the assistant coach tells you that everything isn't handed to you in the Nba, but in MyCareer it was. I was a All-Star, Jordan althlete, MVP, DPOY, Leader in Assists, Steals and Blocks and FMVP all in my first season.

The rise to instant stardom was so fake. Only those once in a generation players with elite athleticism and skill come into the Nba and instantly start dominating. I know there are people that just want to dominate, but we should earn it. I don't want to be better than Lebron and MJ as a rookie. We either need a currency specifically for MyCareer to slow down our progression, or the system for improving your player needs to be revamped entirely.

I was thinking, instead of buying attributes, we should have the drills again to improve in specific areas and that's the only way to improve. So during our rookie seasons, depending on our play style we'll have to stick to our role in the team and be a team player. And then during the offseason we can meet with trainers and improve our player in multiple areas. That way as the seasons go by, we can see some true improvements in our stats, the awards we’re winning and so on. It’ll feel like we really earned that starting spot, the spot on the All-Star team or that MVP award.

Moving on to my pet peeves, after playing from PG to PF, I've seen a lot of annoying things that must be corrected. Like that trolling bump animation that seems to conveniently happen as you push the pass buttom. You player than proceeds to throw the pass once the animation is completed, resulting in a turnover. That happens to me so often it isn't funny. And then when I'm playing as a big man, I'm always getting pushed out of position for rebounds by anyone. I'm perfectly fine with Demarcus Cousins moving me with his brute strength, but when Nate Robinson knocks me out of position, it’s beyond frustrating.

Also, if a player can not see a pass, they SHOULD NOT, be able to intercept the pass and steal it. Every once in a while something lucky can happen, but when this is happening on a regular basis, it frustrates the user. I play with a pass first play-style, and it’s so irritating to pick up turnovers because of stupid junk like that. And then the random screw up where you or a teammate throws it out of bounds when the passing target was right next to them. I can only shake my head nowadays.

I'm rarely rewarded for playing great defense. If I block a shot, it goes directly to the opponent. If I strip the opponent, they pick it back up. If I intercept a pass, the CPU regularly beats me to the ball because my player becomes unbearably slow. I know I shouldn't be able to lock down Carmelo, Durant or Lebron, but why is guarding them impossible? I manage to stick to them when they try to drive past me and then all of sudden they go through my body to score. Why should I play defense if I can't even make it difficult for the CPU to score? At least give us a decent chance of showing some defensive ability. Half of us wouldn't reach so often if our players would just pick the ball the first time we knocked it loose ( I'm sure all of you know what I mean ).

Here's another one, when an animation results in the opposing player putting their hand IN the rim to block a dunk. I can't stand this because it's counted a block, not a goal tend. Nothing to should be blocked from within the rim.

And one of my biggest issues, why is there no FREE ANGENCY?!?!?!?! That's the biggest part of the MYCAREER! What kind of career am I leading if I'm not making any money? Because after my rookie contract, I'm not making squat. I want to be able to negotiate contracts with other teams or discuss extensions with my team. I want to know how much my player would make. I want to actually have an affect on a team's salary cap. This would give me a reason to continue playing after my first season besides the Hall of Fame goals.

There's so much potential for this mode, but all of the little things really pile up and leave us frustrated. The work 2k did making the players interact and show emotion was incredible, but there still much to be desired. I hit a game winner with 0.9 on the clock, and the only people that seemed to care was my teammates on the floor with me and Kevin Harlan. The bench celebrated for about four seconds and then sat back down, and the crowd continued to do what they always do.

Firstly, the bench should've come running onto the floor in addition to my teammates mobbing me. The crowd should have hit a new level in terms of volume and they should have raised their arms in unison or something. It felt great hitting the winner, but recalling game winners I had seen in real life, the celebration in the game was really lacking.

Please give us a bit of half time show to look at. Show the analysts discussing what each team can do to win. Show the mascot goofing around in the middle of the court. Show the cheerleaders performing a routine. We want the full experience. With everything the PS4 & XB1 are capable of, there's no excuse for things like these to be missing. Like the practice mode where I'm in a gym alone shooting jumpers. What happened to that? I hate trying to practice a new jump shot during a game, and going all the way to the Blacktop to practice it during a game of 21 is annoying.

Show some more highlights besides dunks and ankle breakers. I love the Kia Slam Cam and the Nike Plus Replays, but there are plays that go by without mention from the commentary guys. Like they need to acknowledge great passing and show highlights of that. I know there’s the assist of the game, but it’s always an alley-oop. Not the no-look pass, not the behind the back pass, not the pass between that guy’s legs, it’s always an alley-oop if there was one in the game. I threw a pass between Nerlens Noel’s legs to Demarcus Cousins for a sweet dunk and there was no replay. Come on cuz…

And can we have a coach that knows how to manage our minutes. Playing nearly the entire third and fourth quarter is irritating enough with all the other problems, but to screw up in clutch situations because my player is exhausted really hurts. The Gatorade Perform Pack only does so much for you, and a coach that’s too stupid to give you a three minute break adds to the frustration.

Please, please, please, do something about the play calling system for those of us who aren't point guards. I would love to play within the role I have on my team, but when a play breaks down, the teammate A.I becomes a total moron resulting in me taking over. And when I do that, they call nothing but isolation plays for me. I'm not interested in being an iso star.

And then there's the Park. I'm having a hard time gauging how much I don't like it, partially because of how it works, and how everyone plays. EVERYONE is ALWAYS reaching because they have Pick Pocket and Active Hands level 3. Either these skills need to be nerfed, or banned on the Park. It's nothing but chaos as everyone steals the ball from each other. Not only that, but I hate the whole 'got next' system. Why should I have to wait in line to play a game? And then when I finally get to play, the game doesn't start or I lag out. And playing with my friends is almost impossible. It only takes one bonehead to ruin it for a lot of people. I’ve never played Crew mode, but with the way people rave about it, I’m sure it must be better than the Park.

I know I said a lot, and I can bet you that I didn’t cover everything, but I just had to share what I’ve seen because I really do like this mode and I can see the potential in it. Hopefully in 2k15 they will make a few strides in the right direction.

Make the postgame interviews more in-tune with what happened in the game. I just had a game where my PG scored 28 pts, which happened to be a career high. But we also lost the game. The interview simply asked if I'm capable of scoring at that level consistently. It should have asked something more along the lines of if it was bittersweet to have a career scoring night, but still losing the game, or what we could have done differently to pull off a win. I would also like to see a longer press conference, with more questions for not only my player, but also my teammates and coach.
