Presentation/Commentary (My Player/Association Mode)
-Replace Clark Kellogg with Reggie Miller or Steve Kerr.
-If you want it to be more like TNT, add better theme music and add more cut-scenes showing players shooting around, talking to their teammates/coach & reading the game-plan.
-Add like a probability meter in which it decides who is the favored to win the game and the commentators talk about who they think will win or lose.
-Also add the team's leaders for PPG, APG, RPG, SPG & TPG for each team who are playing against each other.
-Before the tip-off starts have the commentators talk about which teams need to contain a player on the opposite team and who needs to step up to be a big factor in the win (like NBA 2K10 showed).
-When someone gets crossed over, have the commentators yell like "OOOOHHHH he just got his ankles broken! Someone call an ambulance!" or something like that. Also have the crowd get into it by yelling "OOOOOHHHH!" like how they do in a real game.
-Have the commentators mention like Ray Allen's record breaker, or Brandon Roy's injury, or a trade that happened last season and that was a bad or good trade or something like that. That would be cool.
-Have them talk about free throw percentages when the players at the free throw line. Have them say that Rondo, for a PG, doesn't have a good free throw percentage, while Steve Nash does.
-When a player like Kobe, Lebron, Aldridge, Wade, or a high overall (my) player heats up on offense, have the commentators say that it is not good news for the defense if that player is heated up and going to dominate the game.
-Have the crowd be more of a factor. It it's an amazing pass like how Rondo makes, have the crowd stand up and cheer like there is no tomorrow. During the playoffs, have them be more into the game, if it's a blowout or not. If the team makes the playoff's but loses, have the crowd still cheer on their team for making it that far and basically congratulating them for an exciting season and hope to see more of that next season.
-During a season game, if the home team is getting blown out, have the crowd just get up and leave. Also, I'm not hearing the "We Want Taco's" chant. Add that in there please. Also when Ray Allen makes a 3, you hear the guy yell "RAY ALLEN FOR THREEEEEEEE!" I don't hear that either. Can you please add that.
-More excitement when a player makes a game-winning buzzer beater. I'm tired of hearing "OHHH HE BEAT THE BUZZARD" every time. Can you make more emotion into it??
-Only if you can, at the end of the week show the Top 5 plays of any game. If it's a my player game, if it's worth showing, show My Player making a very good shot and during this, have like the number at the corner and some person say like "here's dwyane wade showing his hops" or "here's [my player] with the stepback, but drives in for the ferocious slam" or something like that. That would make your game very good IMO.
Gameplay (My Player/ Association Mode)
-The pace of the game should be faster. It seems really slow than a real basketball game.
-Also, the player models look way too big for the courts. How bout either make the players a bit smaller or make the courts a bit bigger.
-Players who are 7'0 and slow should not be able to keep up with like Rondo, Wall, or Rose speed. That needs to be fixed.
-A 6'10-7'0 player who switched on defense and are guarding a PG should be able to be crossed over much easier.
-Players like Rondo or Rose create their own shots in the paint and make like crazy shots like Rose's up-and-under or Rondo's high floater over Andrew Bynum. In 2K11, it was impossible to even get in the paint. My player crossed Fisher and I couldn't get in the paint because he magically got in front of me again. WTF! Getting in the paint needs to be easier than last year.
-At half-time, show top plays from the teams THEN the individual players. Also show the scores from other games being played the same day. Games already played-Final Score;top performers from each team, Games being played at the same time-Score;Quarter; top performers from each team, Games being played later-Record;players with most PPG, APG, or RPG;W/L last 10 games.
-The PG should be able to call a double-screen or even a triple-screen for spot-up shooters like Ray Allen or James Jones
-Clear fouls should be called. I hate how when I go up for a shot I get fouled, but the referees don't call it. When the opposite team shoots the same exact shot and there is contact, I get the foul call. WTF! The fouling system needs to be fixed.
-Add flagrant and technical foul systems which results in ejections and shows the referee pointing his arm in the locker room direction telling the player to get out and the player either smiling, getting mad, or just walking away like he just doesn't care. Also, have the coaches get a technical foul if they argue to much.
-We should be able to make fake passes while still running and dribbling. Like Rondo's behind the back fake or the behind the back with one hand.
-Whenever I'm dribbling and crossing someone over, they know where I'm going to go before it happens. I cross over, but like a second before, they move the same direction. That needs to be fixed.
-Also, how on earth do the defenders know where I'm going to pass before the pass happens. That also needs to be fixed.
-I'm on the wing, and my defender has his back turned to me. I move down to the corner and they follow me without even looking. Do they have eyes behind their heads or something? That definitely needs to be fixed.
-Add more replays and have the commentators that the defense cannot allow those types of shots to a great player like Kobe or Lebron or a high-overall (my) player.
-2K11 shooting was good before the patch and then it was screwed up. Make shooting like it was pre-patch in 2K11.
-The mid-air collisions in 2K11 are clear fouls. That needs to be fixed for 2K12.
-Make crossovers better and faster, depending on ball handling skills.
-Have players from each team get in each other's faces once in a while and their teammates pull them back and/or escalades into a fight.
-Some big men cannot shoot mid-range (Dwight Howard, Shaq, Noah) and they shoot it anyway and make it. That needs to be fixed.
-Add the slam dunk contest, 3-point contest & skills challenge (PG only) in a gym.
-When it is a no foul or bad foul call, have the players get in the face of the referee and depending on the referee's mood, have them T up the player and the player gets more mad and starts waving his arms at him and add the referee's ejection motion.
-I hate how the opponent AI makes impossible fade-away shots and makes it 95% of the time (like Dwight Howard, Shaq, Varejao, Yao, etc) and my own teammates cannot even make a normal lay-up or WIDE-OPEN jump shot.
-When a player makes a shot-and-1, have the players like yell into the crowd hitting their chest (especially during a close regular season or playoff game). Also, when they get fouled, only one teammate goes and congratulates them. Last I saw, most of the teammates on the court is supposed to congratulate them.
-During the game, show the Points leaders, assists leaders, and rebounds leaders during gameplay like how TNT does.
-When a foul happens in 2K11, the referees hand motion shows a holding, when it wasn't a holding. Also, when it's a foul on the floor, have the referees call off the continuation foul and say it was on the floor and put their hands up to the scorers table to show who the foul was on. Have the PA announcer say who the foul was on. In a real NBA game, we could still be able to hear the PA announcer for when someone makes a three pointer or foul.
-Players pull-up jumpers should each be different. Like some players pull ups have have one of their legs in front of the other and their form is a bit different.
-When a player makes a buzzer-beating shot, have their teammates on the bench and court go to that player and like surround him and maybe even dog-pile him and that happens for like 2 minutes at the max. That would be so cool.
My Player Only
-During the draft, if my player gets triple-doubles throughout the 3 games, his pick should be higher than better than 10. It should be at least 2 or 3 or even 1. (I did it on All-Star difficulty)
-I'm tired of being a 6'1 PG and being put at SG and SF (I don't understand that one). How about, you give a choice of a position. 5'5-6'4 (PG) 6'4-6'5(PG-SG) 6'5-6'7 (SG) 6'6-6'8 (SG-SF) 6'9-6'11 (SF-PF) 6'10-7'0 (C)
-More varieties of player creation more adjustments or choices to accessories. Have the ability to move the headband and put the logo symbol in the middle, or put it backwards. Also, we should be able to put on balance bracelet and goggles.
-Add in-game first name vocals to the commentators. I'm tired of hearing the last name only. Try to add the first name so we can hear the full name.
-Give more realistic objectives to my player.
-Make it a bit easier to get skill points. It takes forever to get them. Make them a bit easier please.
-Again, more accessories like mouth guards and have the player take it out once in a while during like a foul and have them completely take it out when they are talking to the referee or something.
-More choices to the player creation. There were only a limited amount of faces, how bout a little more please.
-My player in 2K10 was in the league leaders of each section (APG, RPG, PPG, SPG, etc). In 2K11, I wasn't even mentioned. How bout we be mentioned and showed in 2K12.
-When I shoot a 3-pointer, the commentators say that was a bad shot. Then when I shoot it again, they say that they shouldn't leave me open like that.
-I hate how when we play a game, you people at 2K make us lose by having terrible teammate AI and like horrible centers shooting and making 3's or something like that. How about you make the game fair so there is a 50/50 chance of losing or winning instead of like a 10/90 chance.
-Take out "Hold Ball Too Long." That is the most stupid penalty ever. If I'm a PG or the leading scorer on the team (or league), I shouldn't get penalized for it. Also, if I'm trying to establish myself in the low post, I also shouldn't be penalized for it. So take it out.
-During a time-out, have the game fade-out like it's going to commercial.
-During a game, Kobe guards the PG's like Rondo, Westbrook & Wall. How bout, since we're younger, we get to guard the PG's (only if we're SG's) and the older PG's guard the older SG's. Unless they are really good like Kobe, Wade, Joe Johnson, etc.
-When my player won the NBA championship, there was no celebration except for the White House visit. My player also won the NBA MVP. How bout you add the celebration and have the PA announce who is the NBA MVP and have that player raise up both trophies, like how kobe did in the 2010 NBA Finals.
Online Play
I don't need to say much about this. This DEFINITELY needs to be fixed and not screwed up like 2K11.
