What I would like to see in the future.
More facial reactions. There are many dunks I've done and the dunker looks bored.
Real NBA referees on the court.
Sweat. Not too much, but enough so you can see it.
Ball boys to clean up the sweat.
Improved difficulty during the playoffs.
Realistic crowd and stadium.
Realistic rim, backboard, and net animations
Special moves or taunts for individual players
Different shot styles during regular games, not just in 3-point shootout
Improved create a player with more features
More headshapes or easy tweaking
More special players or codes (big heads, cartoon characters as players, etc.)
Better tattoos
