OK I just wanna say that 2k11 is a great.. probably an 8/10 but we need 9.5/10 to 10/10.
1.Associaton Mode-We need the game to be more realistic. Remember in Nba 2k5 when players came to you. I dont think it should happen as often in 2k12 but maybe you can call players to your office after a tough loss or something.
Also, I think practice in ***. mode should feel like an NBA prac. So you can run drills and choose for some drills to be ran by the whole team like if ur Thibbs youll make the Bulls do a defense drill and then you can do position specefic drills like have your guards do a shooting drill while your big men work on rebounding.
In Nfl head coach you were able to talk to players during practice and tell them certain techniqes even if they were the wrong ones. 2k12 should have that were if ur doc rivers you could tell kg to set the high pick for rondo about 40% of the possesions.
The coach should have a more active role in assc. mode. he should gameplan and plan practices. Also bring back trading block. In the huddle, after TOs, during half, and after games you should be able to talk to your players and choose to be optimistic,inspiratoinal, motivational, mad,angry,negative etc. and your players will react game wise based on how they take it.(similar to nfl head coach)
My Player- This mode can literally be the best mode a sports game has ever seen. Ik what im about to say ur gonna think is entirely stupid. They can make myplayer a life also kinda like gta(not the violence,sex,and drugs but kinda like this,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4IKD...feature=relmfu) Even though that would probably automatically make 2k12 the best game ever that can do something similar.
Remember Madden 07 on ps2 and zbox(regular) remember how you can go on talkshows, be interviewed, movies, commercials, buy a house, blah bla. The point is you had a life. I was thinking that maybe that instead of the boring calender you wake up everyday and then you get choose from go to practice (if you dont have a game) or a light walkthrough(if you have a game) If you go you either have a risk of getting injured or a positive boost for that nights game (kinda like my jordans). After you should be able to choose from a number of things such as charity events, nap, eat, workout, drive to the arena, go to the locker room, or my personal favorite early game shoot around. You should have the option to choose how early you arrivve before a game.
Say you had to be there at least 2 or 2.5 hours before but you could choose to come like 3, 3.5, 4. If you come 3 hours before then there will be like 100 fans there sprinkled all round, about 2-4 teamates. ball boys, trainers and like 2-4 opponents on the oppisite court.
If you choose 3.5 there will be like 30-50 fans there 1-2 teammates and like 2 opponets( Usually one of the best ex. derrick, lebron, kobe, dwight.) Then 4 hours there would be like 10 fans (mostly V.I.P.s) like 0-1 teammates,ballboys, and 0-2 opponets.
Bases on how early you got there you should get an x number of shot so say 2 hours before you get like 20. 2.5 you get 40, 3 you get like 50, 3.5 and 4 you get like 70. Then you get to break up your workout based on locations.
Ex. I come 4 hours early and I get 70 shots and I choose...
5 from right elbow, 5 from left elbow, 5 fts., 5 right baseline, 5 left baseline. 5 top of the key threes, 5 from right corner, 5 from left corner. 10 right layups, 10 left layups. and 10 dunks. Based on your success during the shootaround you get attributes boost. (ps. you can also add tweaks like if you want it to be a pull up, catch and shoot, one dribble, etc...)And after shoot around you should be able to a bunch of things to prep for the game like strecth out with the trainer run laps, have some down time in the locker room etc. And there should be skippable layup lines.
Postgame interviews in 2k11 were the right idea but now its time to expand. How about maybe when you create your player you can set a mood type like arrogant, confident, cocky, mellow, a derrick rose humble, a KG desire, or the charisma or Jordan and that helps influence how you answer questions. Also have follow up questions. So say you get asked what is your main goal and you say a ring and then they ask like"do u think ur a legit contender" or something like that.
Postgame activities should be added too like go too gym, watch game tape, party, workout, go out to eat, sleep early etc. this would add the feel of the "NBA life" there should also be the option to hire/fire agents and actions that affect your image such as refusing a charity event that ur agent set up or being a jerk on a talk show. there should also be positive ones like signing autographs or starting a foundation. you should also be avle to be in movies and commercials(all this was in madden 07
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDnslxFBF6U something like this but maybe a little bit more cinematic for retirement.)
Earlier I said that the coach should be able to interact with the players. In my player should be able to justify himself or motivate, yell at, or thank coaches. this also would have affeccts.
Feautures- I'm not really asking for any new features (except for the obvious all star weekend) but what im really asking for is modifications to these features. Take arena music manager for instance it shouldnt as tough as it was for nba 2k11 to have a slightly accurate nba atmoshpere in termss of arena music. there should be more options like wht would play after like a big 3 or a big defensive stop.
For ex. most arenas would play something like this during the t.o. after a clutch play
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBVeNQ-mtcY. And also we should be able to customize the menu music and the songs shouldnt have to be mp3. i mean the 360 can have kinect and the ps3 can have like a freakin blu ray and like everything under the sun in it but the songs have to be mp3?
There should also be an edit intro feauture where its nothing impossible that u probably wont see til nba 2k19 but something simple like the music player order, what do you want to say for each player (like sometimes they dont say the height or weigth) and the lighting. Do you want it black, dim, lights on, laser lights etc.
Presentation- Ncaa Football 11, NCAA basketball 10, nfl 2k5 nba 2k5 were all based on ESPN some even inbluded boomer and stuart Scott. I think Nba 2k12 should just go ahead and intergrate nba on TNT into the game complete with kenny, chuck, kevin, reggie, marv etc. And can we get a real halftime show please(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtwx_Rv21Iw) I think some thing like this but with chuck and kenny,

Sorry about rambling on and posting so many links but this game to be awesome.
So for pregame maybe we could have some predictions or like 30-60 sec analysis from the guys in the studio(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIb6KMAyQGY just watch firsrt 50 sec.) It would also be nice ti have the TNT song at quarter and half. Also I noticed 2k11 is lacking postgame analysis so maybe if they added a postgame show that would help.
No offense 2k and visual concepts but the crowd atmosphere is horrible. One time i was in a conf. final against the heat(at home) and i hit a 3 with kyle korver with 2:45 to put us up 85-83 and the croed was barely pat 60 decibels. One thing I do give to live/elite is ther crowd is pretty good they boo vince in toronto and mooo threeeee when a clunch three is being shot. And also I was thinking maybbe we could add a color out for playoffs(like everyone wear red) and depending on how loyal ur fans are like 60% to like 90% would wear the color.
MISC. You have to add player intros. You should have 3-6 templates (Bulls, Celtics, Cavs, Heat, Lakers, pistons) and just llet the intro editor change the music and the order. And you should hear more cheers when derrick rose is announced then keith bogans. If you remember nba 07 for ps3 had player intros. And one of the most complained about things create a player/edit a player
You should be able to choose wingspan, more hairstyles(especially for white boys., more specific moods, accesories can be any color,more body types bcuz as of now you have now choice but to be buff you cant be like durant or rondo.Tatoos should be more appearent. More shoes and more deatil on shoes. more knee sleeves like derrick roses and arm sleeves like dwight howards.
Last but not least there has to be an allstar weekend in an actual gym! We need the rookie sophmore game, the skills challenge(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhY77vl5_4Y), 3 point shootout (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4Cjt...eature=related) and dunk contest (
