One of the biggest things in my opinion is being able to change each accessory's color. Not only white, black, and the team colors, but ANY color. This is ESPECIALLY for headbands.. I hate it when the player is wearing all black accessories and except for a white or team color headband... please let us be able to edit any color on each accessory.

Let me first start by giving credit where credit is due, NBA 2K11 is THEE greatest basketball sim ever created. Since 2K isn't anything like EA and won't repackage the same game and sell it the next year, here are some improvements I would like to see:

1. All throwback jerseys - Stop teasing us with a few here an there and some not having their home or away equivalents added. Put all the home and away jerseys a team have ever worn in the game.

2. More realistic crowd and reactions - Add more diverse people to the audience. Make the people walking up and down the stairs make up their minds and sit down or stay gone for a while. Make some celebrity look-a-likes and place them in the floor seating, i understand adding celebrities will cost so either make look-a-likes or give us an option to create-a-celebrity. Have playoff crowds such as Miami "White Hot" where everyone wears white shirts. If a team is getting blown out, have people leave the arena during the last few minutes. And this one is MOST important, please have the crowd WATCH THE BALL. The are all staring in the same direction but it doesn't feel like they are watching the action.

3. DLC - Whatever you can't fit into the game by the release date, add them as DLC such as more shoes, more jerseys, throwback courts, more dorna banners, updated commentary, etc.

4. Player cosmetic changes - During every season, we see player change their hairstyles, facial hair, and get more tattoos. Those things should be included in daily roster updates. Us PC users have the luxury of having someone from our community make a new cyberface usually the day after a change is noticed. In the roster files, you could make a space for interchangeable faces to reflect the new changes in hairstyle, facial hair, etc.

5. Cyberfaces - While we are on the topic of faces, PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO GET THE FACES CORRECT! For one, I don't understand how you could have a face correct one year and screw it up the next. Two, the internet provides us with several high def pictures and video to get them as accurate as possible. Moddingway.com showcase some of the best work made by PC users, it would be smart to hire some of them.

6. Injuries - I agree with what most of the people in this thread said about the injury annimations. Injured players should be helped off the court and shown being taken into the locker room. If they are well enough to come back, that annimation should be shown as well and the crowd should react appropriately. Also, if a player will be injured for an extended period of time, we should sit on the sidelines with a suit out.

Come on 2K, keep pushing to make this game do for basketball what Madden has done for football. Let's make sure NBA Live/Elite never becomes competition again.
