The ability to sim parts of the game and then jump in at any time. Kinda like the way MLB the show handles it. I love realistic stats but hate the amount of time I need to put aside just to play and finish one full, 12-minute quarter game.
Far too many issues with gameplay in past games that need to be addressed in 2k15. I won't bother writing them since the issues are obvious to everyone. But please, with all of the money they make via sales and micro transactions, can we get some properly functioning servers? I'm afraid that 2k15 will be my last 2k game since they only seemed locked in on their graphics and nothing else.
1. AUTO PILOT feature please. This is so overdue it's not even funny. Not having AUTO PILOT at this point in any online sports league is like still using dial up AOL internet. That is really not good. Every other game other than 2K has this basic feature.
It's really simple. If your opponent is not available to play their scheduled game, the commissioner needs the power to put them on AUTO. That way the available user can play the computer and not have to just let the game SIM.
It would be real shame if any so called "next generation" game does not have this basic feature.
2. Change the unnecessarily annoying feature that prevents users from re-entering the Online Association once they leave. Currently, if you leave the Online Association for any reason, you can never come back in. Who's bright idea was this? People leave and come back all the time just like in real life (Lebron James).
Worst case scenario, make it where they simply need an invite from the commissioner to return.
Add new commentators along with the 2k cast maybe TNT cause ESPN with live Espn will be great Mike Breen Bang yesss bring back association with NY an upgrade my career the player faces the crowd is awesome but put in realistic chants and some sort of bonus advantage like in OKC and golden state put the cheerleaders back in there argue with refs confront other players maybe add WNBA feature my sister would like it better and maybe she would become a basketball fan add Reggie miller have every hall of famer and continue to add historic teams European teams like I said earlier WNBA players or a few elite teams long overdue and keep continuing to move forward don’t make it all online based the NBA today feature is awesome but it has faults too also integrate new soundtracks or allow us to upload ours get burned out after a while the game play for me is really awesome NBA 2k14 is great game im the biggest NBA fan 2k fan in the world im obsessed and I loved NBA 2k for years just a little improvements could be made also point guards like Paul, Parker should be able to blow by a big man and it’s a rarity fix that and maybe some animations go further in depth with the player interviews it’s awesome halftime show could be better and I really want to see some cheerleaders Next Gen Version there are some improvements to be made to make the game realer when I’m dribbling it doesn’t feel like how I see on TV entirely and you game on court as a whole doesn’t always feel as real as it could be the collions and player contact need to be better too. When players get hot like curry on a role we should get that excitement like a real game my gm. trades need to be realistic and continue down improving that mode which is off to a great start and maybe add some rivalries there are barely in existence in today’s game but the classis ones Jordan and the pistons magic Larry then maybe some reastlicy down the road in today’s game LeBron Durant or LeBron and George. When we play in the different eras it should feel like that era like the roughness hard hit of the games 80s 90s to where it’s a lot less now a days but more evident because players are bigger and stronger also have replays from a centralized place like there preceding to do in the real nba allow us to put draft classes into the current roster and make the roster abilities like in the 2k13 2k14 version last gen The buzzer beater may be the most exciting moment in all of basketball. It's a travesty that it's been so wildly misrepresented through the years. I mean, we've accepted it because we've never known any difference, but I feel it's time for a change. And the bounce pass is the last but not least thing I recommend please see these changes are made. I feel like we cant explode like rose and Westbrook or electrify like steph curry and Kyrie Irving melo when they get hot the commentators and fans and gameplay doesn’t make me get that feeling
All of the NBA's actual Salary rules (exceptions, sign and trades, cash considerations, amnesty ect.)
Free Agency recruiting.. It shouldn't be easy to get free agents, location and winning should matter not just who has the most salary space. It would be cool to have what NCAA had with recruiting such as the phone calls and pitches you could make to the players.
30 team control for obvious reasons..
Trading during the offseason shouldn't be turned off. It isn't cut off irl so it shouldn't be in the game.
Presentation The commentary for this game is good no doubt but it's getting old. They need to either improve what they have or get a whole different team. It would be nice to see a new team for marquee match ups and hire some actors for local / non important games.
Attendance need to affect the crowds more. If there is a crappy team who don't have die hard fans like NYN then those games should be almost empty. I swear every game I play is hype like the finals when the game opens up.
Also, there needs to be some analyzing of 1st half action like mistakes and whats being done right or wrong that need to be corrected with some type of on screen graphics pointing out where the defender should have been on a play etc..... and likewise at the end of the game pointing out what the losing team did wrong and winning team did right.
I'll leave it at this because only so much can be done in 8-10 months.
Features
The D league has to come back PERIOD but not just cosmetically. And you shouldn't be able to just get a person better by sending him down. This should only yield minimum improvements like maybe 1/4 of a attribute point a week. You should be rewarded for actually playing the D League game and you should have to player lock the player you want to improve. This should yield 1/2 point a week but with the possibility of loosing points if the goal you choose isn't met. This way a player has the chance of getting better AND worse or stagnant. Also, the 1/4 or 1/2 point will limit people developing way too fast. 1/2 point will give you 2 points a month which you can spend how you like.
There needs to be a Summer League as well to try out new rookies and unsigned/undrafted talent before the season starts with the same kind of reward system mentioned in the D League.
Injuries need to be handled a little differently. There should be a rehab feature that allows you to try and bring you player back ahead of schedule. There should be tasks you have to complete to shave off time which the difficulty of the tasks are based on the ratings of the trainers. If you do not get a certain score there should be the risk of prolonging the injury. This way its a gamble. Is it worth trying to get your star player back in time for the playoffs or should you just wait till next yr.
Player Attitudes should affect teams and organization more realistically. For instance, if you have a player upset about his contract or playing time, late for practice or whatever and he is the type to cause problems in the media etc then this should affect the rest of the players ratings. They should take more of a hit if you start/play him and less if you keep him around on the bench. This way you will have to make decisions do you keep the player around because of his talents or release him to free agency or trade him for the sake of the team.
Technical Fouls need to be in the game for more than infractions. For instance if you think a bad foul call is made you should be able to argue the call during the break in action which will fire your player up and give him a temporary 1.5 min stat boost. But this should be a gamble which may result in a tech instead. There should be some type of badge that help dictate the likelihood of the tech. For people like Lebron it would rarely result in a tech but people like Lance Stephenson or D. Cousins it would.
Coaches and Staff should be awarded or penalized due to what rehab success or failure they had. Or for coaches, how they handled those players with attitudes and the teams records etc. And this should in turn boost players ratings somewhat for success but dramatically for failure so that coaching changes will have more meaning. If my star player is taking a hit on his ratings because of the head hancho then he HAS TO GO! If they are getting somewhat better then of course I would want him to stay. The reason success would yield less is so that ratings wont go through roof so easy. Maybe only like a Popavich , Thibodeau etc would boost a little more.
I know these things are far fetched but without these types of variables certain aspects of the game just aren't relevant. I have never fired a coach because its MY play that dictates if we win or not. In free agency I go by numbers not personalities or anything else. There is no difference in a 85 Lance Stephenson or 85 Shane Battier and there should be.
Modes should include the current MY Player but with more realistic representation of what a player goes through like FREE AGENCY. There should be an online tournament mode (one and done format). You should be able to play co-op online as well. You should be able to choose playoffs or finals in exhibition.
Some animations need to be either taken out or improved. Like the interrupted pass queue. Why in the world would I want to pass the ball after getting bumped and stumbling. Do you really think that play is still available. The what the heck just happened animation after a block where the blocker is stunned??? and the one who got blocked recovers immediately needs to be fixed. Jump balls needs to be fixed. I literally win EVERY SINGLE ONE. The Defensive AI needs to be addressed especially the interior. Its okay to get penetration but the defense should contest the shot or knock or bump them then just let it go uncontested as much. The intentional foul helps sometimes but it doesn't wrap them up like it used to. I should be able to grab them a la LeBron defenders. Please bring back the option to be able to wave the ball around in the triple threat like put it in the defenders face or behind my back or over my head a la Melo/Jordan/Kobe you get the drift.
This is what I have for the moment. Over the course of playing this game I have a lot of ideas but at the time of writing this some are escaping me.

More interaction with players and staff.
I never played association so can you explain what 30 team control is and why its so important? Wouldn't you be able to get any player you want if you could just control the other teams trades as well as yours?

It's important because the CPU makes crazy unrealistic trades. So this way you could stop this from happening. Also, sometimes for odd reasons the CPU will start a bench player over a starter after a trade happens which isn't real as well.
We need arena stats like how many points scored in like msg, or in staples center just more stat tracking, especially for mycareer, also the ability home and away colorways of accessories and the ones you can buy if you want to stick to one color, also leg sleeves like the leggings up to thigh like real life, also the ability to sign with other sneaker companies after contract up or if not playing by standards they can cut us from the contract, and sneaker contracts like last-gen should be in the beginning before draft because like wiggins and Jabari are already with sneaker companies and this should based off of how you perform in Rookie showcase, take out the bump animations wasn't in 2k13 and the was a classic game with no weird animations to get stuck in. And last but not least if no crew like 2k11 atleast make it where parks is like Rucker park atleast where I can form a team and jerseys with the ability to perform crazy moves but go to the line and the game will have longevity because myteam isn't cutting it game is completely boring to people over 18.

well the CPU makes their own decisions with their own teams so it kind of makes sense. What's realistic to you most likely isn't realistic because you cannot predict the future of the real NBA and the video game seasons
