NBA 2K12 - Let's Talk About NBA Authenticity, Artistic Improvements

-Warmups on the Bench ...when a player comes back from the bench, they usually wear shooting shirts and or just the long sleeve warmup like you see in NBA Live 10.

-More Throwbacks..... How in the world do you have the Jordan Challenges with no Phoenix Suns??? On top of that n Phoenix Suns sunburst uniforms??? those were classic!!
93 Phoenix Sunburst Uniform with the alternate
95 Toronto Raptor Dino uniform

Also All Star uniforms...lets get some love for throwback All Star uniforms..and even an option for the Team colors..

Better Championship celebrations!!!!! Cant stress this enough...They stepped it up a lil bit but there should be at LEAST 5 different celebrations..for a team winning its FIRST EVER, Back to Back, Three peats and others....

Retired numbers....a celebration for someone retiring their numbers.

Championship Banners at the start of the season......

Keeping it simple:

Player models/body type/skintone:
-There should be a noticeable difference in body type between players.
- ie. Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Andrew Bynum, Glen Davis, Paul Pierce
-I read somewhere they fixed D-Wade's skin tone, but Kevin Durant is a bit too dark as well. So are Russell Westbrook and Demar Derozan


Arenas:
-There should be a noticeable difference in the sound of the crowd between a layup made in the 1st quarter and a layup made in the 4th quarter to put the dagger in your opponent
-Pregame rituals for teams ie. Miami Heat have two flame throwers ignite just above the backboard before games start
-PA Announcers also. ie. New York Knicks' announcer and the way he pronounces players' names like Amar'e Stoudemire
-Players on the bench should have more interaction with players walking to the bench when a timeout is called. Reverse chest bumps, multiple high fives, etc

I probably just said what most people in here said already, haha.

Great idea.

This may of been mentioned, but NBA Live 10 killed at Playoff atmospheres. I would make the volume loud, and listen to my home crowd. Especially in the Finals

I hear u. And yes it "sounds" nice. But thats the ONLY thing 2K needs to take an NBA Live. 2K has the rest of that game beat like a drum.

My post is centered more so around the GAME MENU. Though it maybe too late for 2k12. I always thought it would be cool if the combined there old concept of "THE CRIB" as the layout for the games actual menu.

*you could have the main room be the living room.

- options from the tv could be nbatoday nd thats were you start all of your games.(assuming the game zooms into the tv making it wide screen. but also able to watch ur post game from couch perspective.

-other things like magazines on the coffee table could house, the living roster updates, and online menus

other rooms to house your, trophies, a outside court to shoot around and practice on as a menu option.

- and etc. ideas i have that i wont mention for sake of rambling

but in all i think the core concept, could tie in the old 2ks with the new, and help create a more personable more so then just a sports game. the menu system could also work well with the MY Player mode


Also something random, since alot of people want like to be customizable, 2k should create a more indepth creation center.

_how does a create a shot option sound? combine differnt mechanics to create ur own shot

_ or the create a chant from the college games

ofcourse fix the made reason why we all still play the gameplay, but why not go beyond basketball/nba as just a game, but as a world sport lifestyle

thanks

This is not a wishlist thread. This is a thread for suggestions to make the game sound and look authentic to the NBA. Think of the "What you see on Sundays" concept from Madden.
