NBA 2K26 Wishlist

[VictorMG]

Never too early, I always say. Here's some things I can think of:

-We desperately need a "Deep Three" tendency, or to have the AI's tendency to shoot from certain ranges tied in with their Limitless Range badge level-- Bronze means their 3PT tendency stretches out to, say, 26 feet, Silver 28 feet, Gold 30 feet, Hall of Fame 35 feet (basically only Lillard and Curry). Deep threes are too big a part of the game to have no AI-controlled players in 2K ever pulling up from more than 24 feet.

-Badge descriptions when we have them highlighted in Player Edit or the Quick Edit screen. It's so hard to keep track of what all the badges do because the names keep changing. Some of them are self-explanatory, but not all. If we could have tendency descriptions, that'd be a plus as well.

Too much to name, but let's start with more pass options and a totally revamped passing system.

I think it'd help to be more specific. What type of pass options or revamps do you want to see?

[NYJin2011tm]

Passes that aren’t steals, like off target passes that go out of bounds. Once in awhile you might see a few but we need more.

Give us the ability to edit everything on player models! It's nice that they gave us a few more editing options this year, but we still can't edit players legs, backsides, muscle tone, arm size, torsos, etc. I want to be able to make players like James Harden actually look himself body wise.

Either give us the tools to totally customize player models, or implement a new player body scanning tech that will capture their true body types.

I want to see Physics expanded upon & improved. Players defy physics & recover unrealistically at times with their movement, especially with on-ball defense. I want to see physics play more of a roll with weight & momentum being taken into account at all times. I also want player physics to be able to augment or interrupt an animation at any time. Eliminate players limbs from clipping through body parts when a defender is bodying up the dribbler, contact when driving to the basket, fighting through pic & rolls, etc.

Foot Planting still needs to be better. I want the game to get to the point where each step is accounted for & no more sliding. It's gotten better over the years, but not there yet. I don't want to see players being able to rotate their body & have their feet slide into place without taking the proper steps.

Give us a 120fps Performance Mode option. Even if it means taking a resolution hit.

Increase the framerate for replays & cut scenes!

It would also be cool if we had the ability to completely create our own Gameplay Camera angle. That's something all sports games should add. Let us play on the view that we want!

Side note.. It's hilarious that you started this thread when the game isn't even officially out yet lol ��

Three things: Two new Eras focusing on the past, and an optional offseason MyNBA rule change.

1967-68, the first season the NBA had 12 teams. That seems to be the minimum number of teams the engine can use, so while I'd love to go earlier, I'll be more than happy with this.

1976-77, the first post-merger season. The NBA was about to change drastically, not just due to this merger, but due to Magic and Bird coming a few years later.

Finally, the option to completely remove the three-point line. I realize this may not be possible due to how courts are programmed and plays are drawn up, but if it could be done in two event games in 2K12, it can be done again.

The first time I played MyNBA Eras two years ago, one of my first games was against the Trail Blazers, we were up one, it came down to the wire, and Calvin Natt caught a pass, stood outside the arc, took one step closer, shot a 22-foot two-pointer--and it went in, at the buzzer, giving Portland the win.

God, that was SO refreshing to see, given what the real league is like today.

I had never been so happy to lose a game.

- Finally expand to 4 and more team trades. Expand the allowed slots, more than 5 people/picks can get traded at one time


- Finally allow us to trade and cut injured players like in the real NBA


- Passing needs to be revamped. More weight to the ball, more variety, more realistic passes. Nobody but a few players in NBA history throws pin point cross court one handed passes so well. In 2K every player does it. Add more passing options to guys like Rondo and CP3, little pocket passes, mid-air corner passes, behind the back passes etc. I don't need a behind the head under the basket pass every other PnR

2k sports to reach out to Cheryl Miller for at least a conversation
