RANTS

1.) Bring back control support for keyboard users ... SPIN MOVES

2.) Correct calls of charging fouls and blocking fouls

3.) Where is my double team animation? Bring it back damn it!!! KG / Gasol / Duncan killing 2 defenders w/o the double team
animation with his post moves

4.) NBA GRAPHICS Settings MUST ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR TO CONSOLES, wtf is with the 2k11, 2k9 looks better than this crap w/o mods

5.) Wtf is with the NBA 2k11 lots of turnovers as if they are all defensive players easily intercepting passes. Some people are passive in defense at real life NBA but this game is ridiculous. It's ok if its with the player's role is a defender. Perhaps 2kSports still dont have an answer with good lock-down D gameplay.

6.) Commentaries cant make U jump out of your seat, a snorefest.... HYPED IT UP!!!

7.) I DONT SEE YAO or SHAQ or KAMAN or GASOL JUMPING THAT HIGH IN REAL LIFE, Damn this game is like Mexican Jumping Beans... Seriously... is this the answer against the Miami Heat 2k can come up with. I wonder if adding Physx would help

NEW Features probably ?
1.) Player Introductions per team (Starting 5) with their real life gimmicks and also voiced by their local announcers of each Team
2.) New and Fresh Commentary during end of the quarters also at game winning situations
3.) Some Defense Moments should be included at Game Highlights, especially game winning block
4.) Fouls called, I see players (captains) talking to refs.
5.) Fouls called, I see players jumping around acting crazy ala SHEED
4.) REAL TME PHYSX not pre-animated ones
5.) Custom Arena Music for PC SERIOUSLY DAMN IT
6.) Chat Options in Online Games
7.) Real LockDown D gameplay, improve stealing and blocking gameplay


I dont give a crap if you raise the price of NBA 2k12 PC copy (par with the consoles) as long as it delivers, damn I'm sure am a buyer.

My Wishlist

1. Change the commentators i'm so sick with the voice of Kevin Harlan.
I like Mike Breen to do the job but unfortunately he's on the Elite team and that was disgusting the only best choice is Marv Albert since NBA Live is gone..

2. The Crowd should left the game when their home team was trailing big margins in the end game.

3. My Player issue the commentator should announced the full name of a created player instead of pronouncing only the last name. Recognized the player when winning some awards like ROY, MVP or whatsoever. And when they show some leader in stats they don't seem to say your player's name ironically it lead the leagues in that stats.

4. Buzzer Beater! Players don't get the passionate when they hit a winning shot and also the crowd has some weird reactions..

5. End game! the players must shakehands or giving sportsmanship to the opponents..

2K Team wake up!!!

I noticed this in every game the rim stand or what you gonna call this shit must be adjusted so it will look realistic in broadcast or other sideline camera.

Looks alright to me. I Believe it's just the angle that makes the extended arm of the basket seem a little short. Because the base appears to be in the right position.

you'll have better luck with Santa Claus with your wish list.

5. End game! the players must shakehands or giving sportsmanship to the opponents..

2K Team wake up!!!

With an exception in the scenario of LeBron losing at playoffs (custom made just for LeBron)

Like it!

i'm looking forward in nba 2k12 to add some accessories like the adidas sleeve, nike sleeve, power balance and more tattoos, hairstyle, beard, tasche in mp and able to edit the headband of a create player whether you like the nba logo to the front, right or left side or even at the back if this came true it will be awesome.

1. Better, more realistic crowd and stadium noises and better player reactions to tense moments
2. more accessories, half calf sleeve glitch, and being able to modify home and away accessories separate, because ray allen doesnt look right at home with a black sleeve, the same with other players.
3. European teams and more classic teams like showtime lakers, 70's celtics, early 2000's lakers and kings
4. Better commantators who are more realistic and dont repeat themselves over and over again
5. Faster My Player mode, more skill points earned to make the game more exciting

Well with a little disappointment from the PC to the console versions, hopefully they will fix all these things make 2K12 the greatest game in 2011. This is what I believe can/should be improved.

I'm assuming Jordan will be on the cover for 2K12? If that's the case then there can be Jordan Challenge V2.0 where the bugs from 2K11 can be fixed, different challenges, renewed challenges, etc. Also the players are not generic. They can just make the courts, jerseys, and players look way better.
We get the same privileges like the console version (though we can mod and it is half the price, I'm not complaining so much)
Though I don't play online, online should be improved where the graphics are the same as consoles, and it can run smoothly with no lag (unless their connection is $hitty) then people will enjoy this game even more.
Though the gameplay is smooth, I believe it can be better.
Bring the walk back for realism.
Isomotion is pretty good but you should have more control over your players.
Accessories: Yeah fix the half calf sleeve (as people mentioned) more options to your accessories such as Addidas accessories (the one D. Howard or Turiaf uses) there should be hexpad sleeves and just generally make it look better. Also the color for the team should be spot on.
Color: Make the red, red and black, black, etc.
Courts: Make the court colors what they're supposed to be! Clippers out of bounds is pink-red? They should take their time to make it right (except the ones they don't have rights to) Like 30 people should focus on one team and pay attention to all the details, how their court looks like, their jerseys, accessories, etc.
CAP: More options on how they look, not the same brotherly looking people. Something what EA has.
Presentation and animations should be somewhat new, it shouldn't be totally recycled from 2K11.

Eh that's all I can think, maybe some of this will be in the patch but who knows.

I believe this should be stickied.

Add SPACE JAM on JORDAN CHALLENGES

Revert back to saying unknown names as numbers, ABC gets annoying.

1. Put some mouthguard abusing players

2. Get the proportions right. The body thickness especially. Anthony Parker looks like he's on steroids. 2k9 proportions were better

3. More different animations, signature player celebrations, e.g like 3 point signal, artest doing the timeout shit, pointing at player that assisted you, etc.

4. Bring back some old sigshots and dunks. Like Moon 2.0 from 2k9, Juan Carlos Navarro's jumper. Also please bring back the T-Mac sig shot in 2k10 and rename it as something else cause i think it will look good on perry jones.

5. Different commentators. For example have 4 different voices so you can choose which one you want to listen to.

6. Allow users to change the music. 2k Beats is crap, except for Downtime by Kids In Space.

7. A stat named "Games decided by 3 points or less" during close games.

8. Add the half calf sleeve that goes up to your knee, worn by Chris Bosh and Corey Brewer.

1. one touch button for spin move and crossover
cause it's not friendly on the keyboard

2. more camera options like the tnt camera, etc.

3. able to edit roster in mp mode

similar menu, game file, game style, game option in pc and console
because of price difference platform enjoy much the realistic gameplay.

I'd like to see the substitution screen come up automatically after the first, second and third quarters. I can't seem to press pause and go to the coaching/subs screen at the precise time so the players I want will start the new quarter.

2KSports should hire the cyberface patchers from this site and others to make faces since they do a better job than the "professionals". This would also apply to stadiums, uniforms and dornas as long as there were no licensing issues. For example take the best face for a player and use it in the next years release. Have an online voting contest to choose. Pay the winner a token amount and give them props on the credits screen.

I don't think they can do anything about the headbands. The crackheads of NBA is going on a crackdown against players wearing "disoriented" headbands in real life, what more on games..

- Crowd is crappy, needs a lot to improve.. And i like the idea above where crowd walks out on a blowout game..
- AI defense is like God-like at all times. Turnovers are getting quite out of hand. And how does a player intercept a ball when they're looking the other way..?
- Post plays are getting better but I believe it wouldn't hurt to call fouls while a player is backing down, either an offensive or defensive foul.. Fouls are always called when the post player is already trying to shoot, this shouldn't be the case.
- Add elbow locks and other animations during post up or box outs.
- Techincal Fouls? I know 2K has a strict rule against violence and stuff and trash talk, but i believe there are other kinds of sequences where a T can be called.
- Double fouls..? If you don't want Ts then a double foul may come in handy..
- Allow less than 12 ACTIVE players. I think 8 is the minimum in the NBA.. but not 12 right..?
- Remove the headbands on beginning cutscenes. It's quite odd that a player wears a coat and tie and then wear a headband right..?
- More tattoos, accessories, mouthgaurd and stuff...
- (MP) Meet the press is awesome, but it would be a lot better if the players you're with on the stand is more randomized.. And occasionally having more questions than just one..
- (MP) A feature where there would be times that your teammates will be the one on the stand (meet the press) and the AI answers the question. It's not normal that only one player gets to meet the press on ALL post games..
- (MP) Add something that would give credit when a player does late game heroics (block, assist, rebound).. not just a score..
- (Assoc) Instances where days would pass before approving a trade. Just like what EA's nba live used to have.. It would be more realistic than getting a team roster get revamped in a single day. And also allow multiple trade offers just in case..
- (Assoc) Injuries that occur off games.. (during practice, or a flu maybe or freak accidents.. )
- (Assoc) Three point shootout and a dunk contest..
- (Assoc) Create something sort of a GM goal or tendencies. If a team is on a rebuilding process, then they don't mind unloading an oldie with a high rating for a rookie with so much potential. If a team is looking for a ring, then allow trades where they get championship pedigree players in exchange for potential superstars that would need 5 years in the making.. Characteristics like Risk-Taker, Rebuilding, Championship-Run, Money Matters (unload big contracts and take in potential players with low salaries), Tankers (go for the lottery).
- (Assoc) Avoid senseless trades.. I believe they should add an algorithm where AI offered trades would look more into the Team Needs section. So a PHX team that already has a Nash would not try to go for a Jameer Nelson in exchange for big men or something...

There's a lot more but i think these are the ones that are quite doable in the time being..

Thanks..

Almost all my suggestions has already said,

i just want to add some towel boy and water boy giving some gatorade to the player subbed was i think would be awesome.

i want to see a realistic atmosphere crowd in NBA 2k12 which i think the NBA Elite has the edge over 2k.

1: FIX the regular passing. I can't pass to who i want to witht he stick a lot of times which causes me to lose close games.

2: Fix dunks, lay ups and athleticism...........certain guys have a high elvel of athleticism and jump higher and can do certain dunks.........there are a lto of different dunks in this years game which is good, but everyone dunks pretty easily a lot of guys do dunk that they cannot do in real life. they should fix that.

VERY IMPORTANT :

-New dancing rountines for cheeleaders
Seriously : who cares about commentary or crowd shit ??? dont be too spoiled....I find them quite extraordinary as they are...

As far as little details go,(just like gameplay and graphics) 2K killed the EA series... so i hope they focus on important stuff to improve this master piece

Heres what comes to mind :

GENERAL:
- sign another deal with jordan to keep him in the game

- Bring back the decade teams or at least make players available like free agents are

ONLINE :
- allow.iP o IP online gaming...allowing 2K to free up their weak servers for console people and allow PC gamers to play each other directly WITH CUSTOM ROSTERS... and classic teams
- If the game runs fluid offline, it should run fluid online even with high video settings (as many first person shooters do)

CREATE/EDIT A PLAYER :
Googles ? more hair styles, better colors , 1 more body options : less muscular, just like socks it would be nice to select which players wear short/medium/long shorts

GAMEPLAY : greatly improved each year
except for this maybe :
- choice of pass (bounce pass, high arc pass ) that would solve the pass interception/turnover problems

- when a alley oop doesnt work...at least try to make cpu players recover the ball...not just watch it go out of bounds right next to them.

- Make the ups and downs of team/player a bit less predictable during the game... (for ex : when your opponent hits you with a nice run after you take a few bad shots...it seems so predictable that you'll miss 90% of your shots before u do a dunk or two...

- I dont know if it just me but eversince 2K9 : direct pass to SF always seems less responsive than with other players and it often results in a missed shot from the guys who was supposed to pass

This is funny you don't care about commentary or crowd to be more like realistic but you are asking for new dancing routines for cheeleaders? Hell of a fun

If ur just asking for the game to be more realistic ASK BIG!!!

Someone doesn't get a joke.

lol at u ginebra.. tnt23 just cracking a joke out there..


Anyway i'm on the side of impoving the graphics for the crowd they seems to have just five faces and cloning it all to pack the stadium it's not realistic.

And add more VIP person at the front seat to look even more realistic.

2K must hire the great patchers from this forum they can contribute a lot.
Why? Because the patchers here discovered a lot that 2K doesn't.
