Improved Gameplay
- Ability to cut/drive quicker off screens. (Perhaps success tied to ratings.) Helps to avoid Mario running.
- On successful pump fakes, ability to move around defender. (Perhaps success tied to ratings.) Helps to avoid Mario running.
- Player Movement: When dribbling the ball, it is difficult to move one step forward. (Flick of left stick should get them one step closer, instead they move backwards. Makes it difficult to take the one step into range around the three-point arc.)
- Fouls on pump fakes: Defender who falls for pump fake should occasionally fall into/on shooter, fouling them.
- Offensive player/teammates should be able to quickly after catch/screen & roll/cut. They take extra steps, missing the window for a quick shot.
- Improved fast break & transition: Still not quite smooth or proper. (2K does this well.) On break/transition, shooters should sometimes spot up from the outside. Players way behind on break should stop/stay in backcourt to avoid pee-wee football game visual.
- Less steals: Too easy to steal the ball, even on Superstar difficulty.
Improved Animations
- More animations (& variation/results!) for everything. Seems to be only a handful (if not only one) animation for certain reactions. EX: Player falling back has legs go up in air. Some falls should see them fight to get back up quickly, perhaps slips on the attempt, etc.
- Celebration Animations: Following some baskets, celebration animation has player head down too far.
Revamped/improved strategy & substitution screens
- Ability to make/set all individual defensive strategies/settings in pre-game.
Rising Star Improvements
- Scoring to become more difficult.
- Make accomplishments and privileges known to the gamer so he would keep playing.
- Endorsements, All-Star Weekend (if you qualify), FIBA tryouts (off-season), Training Camp (similar to LIVE 10) etc.
Improved Arenas
- Accurate arena ribbon board graphics. (Especially after victories.)
Improved Presentation & Commentary
- Game Stats & Post-game: Ability to see score by quarter (quarter by quarter score).
- T-shirts/unis on some/more bench players.
- More fan/crowd models, movement & variations. Currently too 'clean.' EX: Fans walking aisles, leaving/going to seats. Fans looking at phones. Models including kids, etc.
- 3D Court Projection Tech as used by NBA teams as part of pre-game.
- PG to C: The correct basketball format in showing lineups goes from PG to C. LIVE 15 has this backwards in pre-game lineup screen, in-game sub screen, and in LUT AH search menu, etc.
- Special ESPN music. (IE: Latin night music.) Could be user selected in pre-game or set to match uni selection, etc.
- More old/throwback uniforms; shoes & unis delivered in-game faster.
Improved Dynasty
- Ability to use 2D logos or use old logos (as in UT).
- Tribute Night: Incorporate Legends and have night where they are 'honored' in pre-game. A way to make games special in Dynasty.
- All Star Weekend (if added to the game)
- Realistic training camps and practices (like in LIVE 10, but better)
- NBA Combine, scouting reports
Ultimate Team
- Ability to set rotations in LUT (& all modes for that matter)
- Proper/authentic shoes and gear for all players. Big issue with Legends presently.
- Scoring to become more difficult.
- Make accomplishments and privileges known to the gamer so he would keep playing.
Other
- Scrimmage: More options. EX: Scoreboard, full game, partial game, subs, etc.
- Ultimate Team: NBDL, Internation, Olympic team logos, courts, & other assets. Perhaps even CBA, if attainable.
- Merge Dynasty & Rising Star while adding in online component. Think Madden CCM. Allows users to play any way they want while also competing with friends. Likely a long-term option once other/more modes are added in.
- Custom Arena Sounds: Would help truly get each arena sounding/feeling authentic.

1.) Allow us to edit rosters.
- Let's face it, some things like these are sometimes better when modified by a community member.
2.) A better MyCareer story line.
- Rising Star is too..... "vanilla".
3.) Create or Edit Draft Classes.
4.) Ability to choose specific plays for a player.
5.) Include face scan.
- Well, unless 2k owns that thing.
6.) In-depth look at lineups.
- I have had this in my mind for such a long time. Basically, it will allow us to create a group of 5 players to play on the court and we can name it as "Blowout" , "Rim Protection" , "Second Unit" , etc.. And we can just quick switch to it when we substitute players.
7.) More variety of dribble and post moves.
- Like they can add some cool new crossovers and behind the backs.
8.) ESPN ticker.
9.) ALL-STAR WEEKEND.
10.) More cut scenes.
- Show us the reaction of the fans when a player hits the game-winning shot or show us the reaction of the bench when a guy like Jordan posterizes somebody hard.
11.) Addition of D-League.
- This is, for me, a great idea specially when playing in Dynasty Mode. You can send a sucky player from your team to the D-League so that he can gain some confidence there and when you finally call him in, his attributes are slightly changed.
12.) Addition of FIBA Teams.
- Yep.
13.) Better team AI.
- I want them to capitalize on every mismatch, cut everytime there is an opening,or get open so I can pass them the ball.
14.) Better CPU AI execution.
- Slightly less broken plays; better recovery in defense.
15.) SLIDERS.
- UH-UH.
