2k Sports made defense in NBA 2K9 good but it could be better. In most cases the lock-on D works only for that person put the other 4 guys on the time seem to just stand there and let there man run wild either on the outside on in the paint. Now this I think is a problem that centers around the Double Team/ Pressure D settings there just to plain. The NBA is about know your man and the team and the system your going against not just; play tight/ sag off/deny ball it's more detailed then that. It's is that player a 3pt shooter, is he a mid range shooter, is he a inside man. Is he a more of a drive to the basket type or is he all four. That has to come into the thoughts of a NBA player and to make a realistic NBA game we need for each part of the court like: Perimeter, Mid Range, Low Post to have there own cover system. Each player is played different in each part of the court and there 2k counterparts should be played the same. So these are the features I came up with:
Including a 2 new features:
Hot Streak - Which works well with players like Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Granger a whole list of other players that seem to turn it on when the games is on the line. Hitting game winner shots rallying there team back from a 10 point spread, so on and so on. Hot Streak is a way to counter that by keep a better eye on that person, denying any open position, any good look, any possible game winner, buzzer beater shot.
Sag Off Mid - In the NBA your playing against the best of the best where at anytime a player can get hot and be a hit and miss shooter from a spot they don't normally shot from. With Sag Off Mid it keeps the player in that position that's give the player space but still close enough to make a play on the ball, play the passing lines, contest the shot. By giving a arm and a half length gap in between the players it still put them in good defensive position to shut down there player at any given time.
Pressure D: PERIMETER: Sag off, Sag off Mid, Play Tight, Deny Position, Hot Streak MID RANGE: Sag off, Sag off Mid, Play Tight, Deny Position, Hot Streak LOW POST: Body Up, Play Tight, Deny Position, Hot Streak
Double Team: PERIMETER: Auto, Never,Always,Hot Streak MID RANGE: Auto, Never, Always, Hot Streak LOW POST: Auto, Never Always, Hot Streak
So I hope you took this into consideration because I think these features will really set the NBA 2k series apart from the rest of the other NBA games. I only buy NBA 2k games and I'd really love to have more control over my defensive pressure and double team around the perimeter, mid range as well as low post. Thank You for your time.
NBA 2K10 CREATE A PLAYER IDEAS PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!
Create A Player is an important feature for many people, whether its creating those who didnt make the final cut, or reliving years past by putting together old school rosters from the 80s and 90s. 2Ks system has improved overall from year to year, but there are still glaring issues and room for improvement with each new installment.
2K9 brought us the most realistic looking created players to date. They actually looked like they belonged on the court, without sticking out like a sore thumb. It didnt come without a price though, as certain options were limited and everyone came out looking closely related. So lets get down to some specifics.
Photo Face We've been hearing a lot about this from EA Sports and there sports titles. Now I think that the 2k series is the best when it comes to basketball, so why not give the players and the fans the best feature in a sports game by putting themselves, a friend or a NBA player that didn't make the final cut into the game. By loading a picture of yourself or whoever your making into the C.A.P mode and be able to placed the markers onto the images so Photo Game Face can accurately work out where to put features such as eyes, his chin and the basic shape of his face. So your not just pasting a photo onto any piece of geometry. Photo Game face takes the photo and changes the geometry to fit, this makes the face you create much more individual looking and accurate. Also a side view of yourself or whoever you are creating, as well as the front view, so our head models will be even more accurate.
Body Types For years now weve been given 3 choices - Thin, Normal, Thick. And for years now, Thin has been too small, Normal has been too big, and I dont think Thick has been realistically used... ever. At the very least, we are in desperate need for extra body types in between those 3. While the best solution would be switching it over to a slider based system, where with a few flicks left or right, the user can get it exactly the way they want.
Skin Color Much like body types, the skin color option could use some more variety. 2K8 used sliders, while 2K9 switched to 6 presets. One things for sure, I dont want to go back to the days of the glowing red faces in 2K8. So I would gladly accept just expanding the presets to 12.
Facial Textures A big reason CAPs have looked relatively the same in 2K9 is that there is only 1 texture, and all we do is move around the features. Take a page out of Top Spins book by creating several different skin/facial textures to choose from.
Hair We've become accustomed to the same hair options every year, and its time to add some new styles. Noticeably absent for those of us who create legend rosters, are fades of the high and low top variety. More in between color options are needed here as well, because in some situations brown is too dark and blond is too light. But the biggest addition I would like to see to the hair and facial hair options is transparency (0%-100%). Anything short enough to be painted on, like buzz cuts and natural waves, should be accompanied by a transparency slider to either strengthen or fade the hair. And that brings us to...
Facial Hair Transparency sliders would help in creating stubble, and light beards instead of being stuck with the strong thick options of 2K9. This is one area 2K8 had right, you could give the player a lightly shaded beard PLUS the regular beard and mustache options. I would like to see that brought back for 2K10. Facial Hair should also have its own color option, independent from the hair color.
Eyebrows Eyebrows were seriously overlooked in 2K9, and thats putting it lightly. A total of ZERO options for eyebrow customization, which left anyone with darker skin looking eyebrow-less. Take another page from Top Spin and add numerous different, unique eyebrow styles. This should also have its own color option, as well as a transparency slider.
Accessories FOUR words, HOME AND AWAY AND SECONDARY AND RETRO. Let us give a player a completely different set of accessories for home than away if we want. Give us the same color options for headbands that we get for armbands. Throw in some goggles, protective masks, compression shorts, and finger tape. Bring back the option to have the old school shorter shorts to compliment 2Ks line of Legends. 1 for today, 1 for the 90s, 1 for the 80s, and 1 for the 70s (this would also effect the jerseys bagginess.)
Tattoos Tattoos have gone rather unchanged over the years, much like the hair options. The addition of some fresh designs and a full sleeve tattoo would be nice. Yet another section that would benefit from a transparency slider.
Sliders 2K8 had the most frustrating sliders ever, when you moved one, a dozen others moved with it. This was thankfully remedied in 2K9, but I would still like to see the sliders numbered. So if your critiquing someones CAP, you could simply suggest moving the brow height to 59, or the chin width down to 25. Seems like a simple thing to implement, and would help save some time.
So there you have it, a couple improvements that could help 2K10 have the deepest Create A Player seen in a basketball game. Hopefully someone is listening. Did I leave anything out that you would like to see added or changed?
Create-a-Player - An improved and more advanced feature. This part of the game is definitely stale. They need to adopt a CAP like the Tiger Woods Series. The fact that we cant change weight, and edit specific body parts like arms and calves, its pretty dang annoying. Also, the facial hair on the players looks like crap. Better gear like face protectors, different handbands and be able to position the handband at different angles. Better tattoos I know its a long shot but be able to create tattoos Like full arm, half arm, neck (all sides), Hands
Create-a-Play - This would really kick the NBA 2k series into full swing. Be able to create plays on both sides of the ball. Design screen, cuts, ball control plays, 3pt plays, post plays, mis-match plays etc. On the Defense side be able to make zone, double teams, traps.
Create-a-Jersey - This would be an alternative to putting in a large amount of retro jerseys. You are able to design the jersey, and shorts. If we get really lucky, maybe a warm-up. You would have a choice out of all nba team logos, as well as some generic logos and all sponsor logos in the game, such as Nike, Jordan, Gatorade, Reebok, and the NBA logo.
Create-an-Arena - This of course would be an alternative to retro arenas. You are able to design every facet of the court, such as Rims, Backboard, Lines, Mid-court logos, The Paint, and Baseline. You are also given the option to choose any current NBA Teams Arena and make changes from that. You can change the color of the seats, bench, sponsors, and type of Jumbo-tron.
Create-a-Team - This area of the game, is also very stale. The logos and pre-set names are horrible. Give us more options, that we can change ourselves.
Create-a-Shot (For Created Players)- This is probably a long-shot, but still a great idea. This would break down into Jump-shot, and Free-throw.
Create-a-Coach - This shouldve been in the game a long time ago. A lot of the best head coaches resign after the first season, so give us some more options other than generic guys.
Custom Arena Music -This is beginning to be a must, for sports video-games. Would be broken down like this Home-Team Intro Away-Team Intro End of Quarter Home Time-out Away Time-out Free-throw Made Free-throw Miss Star player sound (think CP3s Wooooooo! End of Game
In Game Features 1. Give us a choice between scoreboards (bottom right, top, bottom of screen) 2. Announcers should recognize winning and losing streaks.
Also maybe incorporate unofficial stats, such as The only player to average 30 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds since...[whoever] Also maybe refer to Champs as the defending World Champs during the season. Give us more intuitive stats. If Kobes gone off for 50 the last 3 games in the Garden then i wanna hear about it. Also about the team macthups and player matchups. Best in the nba talks. Awards races talks like the battle between Kobe, Lebron and Wade for MVP stuff like that. Finally, why doesnt 2k add in some new commentary make em crack a joke at the players or one another and stop the repetiveness.
3. 2k also needs to take advantage of the Legends in the game. Show little cutscenes of past games. If the Finals are in Boston. Just show flashbacks of memorable plays like TNT does.
4. Emotions Certain players have unique personalities, Rondo and Tony Parker fall down 50 times a game so that should be the case in the game. Sheed should argue with refs, and Kobe should argue with refs. Please give us technicals,Players ejected out the game. Some sort of control over celebrations. Id like the players to act even more human than they already are. Why not add in an animation where they go and try and plead their case to the referee if they dont agree with a call. Also add in a factor which causes the players to occasionally go into a fit and attempt to fight such as when they get hit by too many fouls intentional or otherwise. Plus, make the bench more enthusiastic they stand up when someone makes a monstrous dunk but what about when theyre team is down why not make it so that somebody on the sidelines tries to rally the crowd and if someone performs a buzzer beater to win the game make the entire bench jump and dog pile the guy or lift him in the air. And after the games over pull a player to the side for commentary. Another thing why not put the players and coaches actual voices in the game and make so that when you call a timeout that the coach tries to motivate his team either by insults or encourging chatter and make sure we can hear it. Why not include trashtalking, like someone blowing on their hand when theyre on a shooting streak or slapping a butt of a teammate after a critical play and for godsakes make KG pound his chest, to ignite the team or crowds this can play into the psychology of the players causing an increase in their shot probability or decrease depending on a player.
5. Give me total control of my playbook. who i want doing what. Different roles for both sides of the ball. the nba has its roles it would be cool instead of just role players you assign their role on the team
Association Mode Ideas Re-location Opportunities - Your team could re-locate to a number of different cities, such as Seattle St. Louis, Missouri Las Vegas, Nevada San Diego, California Nashville, Tennessee ....... However, your team would have to meet certain criteria to be eligible to change cities;
You would have to 7 consecutive losing seasons Under 60% of average attendance Failure to beat Division Rivals ...
2. NBDL or Equivalent - Even just an imaginary league that you can send your players to, to keep up their skills. 3. Draft-Day Trades - I thought this would be in this year, self-explanatory
4. 10-Day Contracts - I thought this wouldve made the game before the Bird-Rights did.
5. Off-Season Cuts - Give us the ability to have more than 15 players at training camp, and then have the Asst. Coach recommend who to cut
6. Team Progression - If your team meets certain criteria, you are given certain opportunities 7 consecutive 50-win seasons Increased Average Attendance to 125% 10 consecutive playoff-appearances ...If you meet this criteria, then you are given the following opportunities:
Signature Fans, Owner, GM, or Celebrities. There would be a mention of their attendance before the game. (Think Lakers and Jack Nicholson) New package of Arena Sounds New Jerseys Updated Arena
