NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

[WISports]

I'm sure they could add many of the ideas posted in this thread if they really wanted. But they purposely leave stuff out every year so there can be something "new and improved" for the following year.

BTW, can we get the Bucks new logo under avatar options?

Another suggestion:

Please improve the rebounding logic. It's not very good the way it is now. Too many times, I've seen one of my players BOX HIMSELF OUT by DELIBERATELY positioning himself behind his man (?!), or otherwise he just stands there and stares as the opponent gets into position to grab the rebound.

Doesn't really matter what they do, because if full-blown Crew mode isn't on the PS4 in 2k16, it'll be getting the Madden treatment (continuing to sit right on the store shelf from now on) from me.

Makes no sense they try to pass everything else on us but wont give us that lol they took it away on last gen then bring it back the same exact way it left and it took 4 years for that like whatt? they only brung it to last gen to sell the game.

General game play wise i would suggest:

-Separate the online and offline modes as far as game play experience goes. Maybe develop an online slider set to eliminate the cheese without impacting the other modes? Custom/private lobbies to allow players to play online with their own house rules via custom slider sets.

-Reworking animations to eliminate player morphing and give us the same sense of freedom of movement the cpu demonstrates: I should be able to maneuver around the court without being hobbled by odd skipping motions on offense and the shuffle stepping on defense(that should be relegated to the Intense-D feature).
I should not be uncontrollably sucked into odd or unfavorable animations because i accidentally tapped turbo,nor should the cpu slide into me when i should have them beat.
Players not should blow makeable shots or be shafted out of run to the hoop due to being locked into a poor/improper selection the animations. Players reaching through each other to intercept or deflect the ball needs to go.

-Improved Teammate AI: The lazy defense,the lazy rebounding,etc. is very frustrating, it needs to be toned down.In my experience, it seems to be tied directly into difficulty level.

-Re-balanced Opponent AI: At times the cpu demonstrated near psychic ability
on defense and in loose ball situations, needs to be tweaked.Again it seems to be directly proportional to difficulty level.

-Rebalance badges: some seem to work a little too well causing all sorts of issues, some seem to never work, some seem to never even trigger.

-Better CPU coaching/play calling: If left on auto it seems to only call 2 or 3 different plays and is too slow to adjust to the opponent; this is really a problem when one of the plays it keeps calling is broken.

-Make player personalities matter in My Career/My League: Players noted for erratic behavior should have a chance get into confrontations on court as well as experience behaviorial issues of court, leading to ejections from games,fines,suspensions,bad press hurting the prestige of the team,etc.Players noted for being level headed teammates could offer the opposite effect.

Specifically to My Career:

-Fix the in game simulation feature: Often times it seems more interested in setting up certain situations(no matter how farcical they may be) than simulating basketball. Not to say such things shouldn't happen sometimes, just at a much lesser rate than currently.

- Better management of my minutes and team time outs: CPU often wastes time outs and plays you in a rather unrealistic rotation.

-Tweak or remove the storylines: I don't enjoy my player getting into situations beyond my control and behaving i ways i do not wish him to because "that's how the story goes". In my opinion, 2K14 was much better in this regard. Also maybe consider adding a more stripped down my career similar to that in older 2K games as an additional mode.

I would just love the ability to shorten the season to 1/4 or 1/2 the schedule per year. I would rather play less games, then play all the games in a quicker fashion.

The one thing that drives me nuts: the replaying of cutscenes with my "rival". These scenes are comical, especially after I've won a number of championships and am clearly a top player in the league. Why am I being treated to cutscenes like "you don't know what you're in for in the playoffs" and what not?

Fix the injury bugs. Players get injured in MyPlayer/Career and then keep playing at full strength. Nonsense.

Fix the endorsements glitches. It's not right that I can literally do EXACTLY what the endorsement says and not get the reward. In particular, the glitch where if you don't complete the BBQ Buzzer Beater, the endorsements underneath it don't trigger. It must be fixed.

Hopefully the shoe glitch doesn't show up in 2k16, that would be disappointing.

Fix the Knicks colors in the shoe creator. You finally put the correct shade of blue on the jerseys, but now the team colors are still wrong.

Put back the headband editing feature. In MyGm, all the computer generated guys come in and none of them have headbands. And I can't go in and add one for them if I feel so inclined. Gotta do better there.

Let players retire. LeBron and Melo play until they're 43 in MyCareer. Nonsense.
