      Reposted from a previous thread

      1) import your My Player from the previous game (e.g. 2k10 my player -> 2k11)
      2) It would be tight if you can incorporate your My Player into the game's roster/association
      3) Have the My Player save automatically store yearly data so you can load your player based on a particular year/season (just like you can play as 91 jordan versus 98 jordan)
      4) Same as #2 but in online leagues (although the custom players online feature would have to be added first)

        For graphics
        - Make PS3 match 360 as much as possible
        - Focus more on the faces and realistic facial animations
        - Jersey and shorts "fit" options (not all players wear the same baggy/snug uniform - look at Ron Artest vs. Kobe)
        - Bring the dancing girls back courtside and make them look better (they shouldn't be running into the tunnel after they're done, unless its to change outfits)
        - Redo the walking animations in game and during cut-scene

        For presentation
        - Have better TV-style overlays during timeouts
        - Dynamic cut scenes on dancing girls
        - Dynamic cut scenes on fans with posters or showing different reactions
        - No more black silhouette player faces anywhere
        - Bring back dynamic commentary when using created teams (they were in 2K10, not sure why it went AWOL in 2K11)

        Add as many championship teams as possible, not just ones from the Jordan era.
        - This one is for the general direction of 2K12 and may one-up even Jordan himself. Jordan wasn't everyone's favorite player, so adding more classic championship teams could reach people's soft spots for theirs.

        Have international and other teams
        - Get as many of the big name teams as you can
        - Maybe even a WNBA all-star team

        Enhance Black Top mode
        - Bring a Story Mode back maybe (doesn't have to be 24/7 like)
        - Bring back all blacktop courts
        - Better street attire
        - Bring back the the option for street dribble moves

        Have optional, short mini-games during game timeouts
        - Shoot a half court shot
        - Dunk-contest-type dunks off of a trampoline with the mascot

        Unlockables and DLC options for future gaming
        - More historic and championship teams
        - More sneakers
        - Different past player challenges (someone wrote up a great "Kobe Challenge" on the 2K Forums, mentioning scoring 62 in 3 quarters, the 81 point game, etc., 12 threes in a game including 9 straight) -- I would pay extra for this in 2K11 if they make it

        All-Star Weekend
        - Include dunk-contest, 3-point shootout, and skills challenge mini-game options

        Enhance Create a Team
        - Add more logos
        - Court editor
        - Choose the coach's look
        - On 2K Share, when exporting teams with created players, save the created players faces as they should be

        Add My Player type mini-games to Association
        - The users would act as GM and react to things the players want, what the media says, etc.

          Instead of assigning plays to Positions in the Playbook screen, it should be assign plays to Players.

          Example: for the Jazz Playbook, they have the starting Center's playbook all out by the 3pt line since the developers were thinking that Okur was still going to be the starting Center. But Jefferson is now the starting Center and the plays in the playbook did not change to compensate for this change. You will see Jefferson by the 3pt line since he's using the "Starting Center" playbook which was made for Okur.

          Also whenever a player is traded/injured the playbook assigned to that particular player should only stay with that player and not used for the player that is replacing the injured/traded player.

            Adding a wingspan option would be nice for plaers.

            Also have it where your team name would be across the front of your jersey in create a team.

            More endorsement options in my player mode also would keep it interesting longer .

                * Get the quick-substitution screen out of the way! And also, make it permanent - I mean, I don't want it to disappear when the CPU starts a posession or something. Let it stay there until I close it. It's so annoying when I call for substitutions and about to close the menu, but then it disappears and I need to make these substitutions again!

                * Accessories! I want to be able to change accessory colors for home/away - just like I do with shoes. Let me have that color palette so I can edit it all myself. NO MORE ONE FIXED COLOR FOR ACCESSORIES! I want it all to be edited for home/away. * I also want to have an ELBOW BAND(!) in addition to the elbow pad.

                * Half calf sleeve! It's time to get it fixed! I WANT TO SEE THE SOCKS!!! And also, let me edit the colors of the MJ calf sleeve (3rd team calf sleeve). I want it all to be editable.

                * Long socks! Time to fix all the glitches with this type of sock.

                * Goggles and Masks! I want to be able to give players these accessories.
                My Specs:

                ZX Spectrum
                CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
                GPU: Monochrome display
                RAM: 48 KB
                OS: Sinclair BASIC

                  * Better graphics for PS3 version
                  * More variation in types of fouls (everything but shooting fouls is pretty non-existent)
                  * More accurate tendencies and rosters. Replace 2k insider with someone who knows the NBA well.
                  * LONG REBOUNDS. Rebounding ball physics are off, every missed show lands in the paint.
                  * Realistically rated rookies. Keep talent level even in association throught the years.
                  * Slow down player progression in association

                    *Better Integration of Custom Arena Music:
                    -Have A slider for IN GAME MUSIC usage vs. CUSTOM MUSIC usage.
                    -----If the slider is in the middle, in game sounds will be played about 50% of the time with Custom music going the other 50%. When you move the slider left or right, the usage will change percentage

                    *Allow us to select ALL STAR game venue in future years in Association Mode.
                    - Have a basic generic All Star logo for future years, and either allow us to choose the venue or randomly select one for us. If it's played at Knicks arena, the court graphics shall stay the same with colors and stuff. Half court logo is that generic All Star Logo (Nba Inside drive 2004 did this)

                    *More variety of generic shoes

                      Re: ***Official NBA 2K12 Wishlist Thread***

                      Complete overhaul of custom music...with the ability to swap out 2k menu music with your own songs, adjust custom music/chants volume like Ruben suggested, and also give us the ability to properly use the PA for our own recordings when players score...so if I want to record Gerald Wallace scoring my own way, I can...and 2k's PA will stay quiet and be replaced with my custom recording.

                      More unlockables...I like the idea of unlocking shoes, but it would be cool if this was taken a couple steps further...like unlocking Classic players and teams, classic venues, classic jerseys, accessories (like Goggles), and dunk/layup packages.

                      Fake pass on the fast break without having to stop and lose momentum

                      More robust Create A Player options...I'm tired of every white guy I create looking like someone out of a Dave Chappelle skit...I remember 2k8 gave you more options with the way guys looked...bring that back please!!! I want to create some freaks lol! Also the ability to import photos for player's faces...I would LOVE that...so we could create our own versions of ourselves.
                      You shouldn't worry about what others think of you, because if you knew how little they did, you would be insulted.

                          MY PLAYER:
                          Make different starting points for careers. For Example, you can start as:
                          Bench: start at 40 overall, make it hard to progress ( for hardcore fans who want a challenge.)
                          Starter potential: start out around a 55-60 overall, in other words a typical late 1st rounder or early second round pick. ( for those who want to work for what they get but dont want to start as the same level as a high school kid)
                          Star: start as a 75-80 overall, obviously easier to get endorsements. (for casual fans who want to be like Micheal Jordan off the bat.)
                          IMPORTANT: There would be lobbies for Bench, Starter Potential, and Star pickup games. So, Bench players can go to any lobby, Starter Potential can only go to Starter Potential or Star lobbies, and Star players can only go to Star lobbies.
                          This way you dont have 80 overalls going up againsts 40 overalls the first day and the Bench and Starter potentials can get a challenge by going to another lobby.

                              My points refer to Association, which I think is the most important mode in the game:

                              - Offseason needs a complete overhaul. It is really stale and not interactive enough. Especially the interface which means the whole thing is over in 15 minutes. Maybe use the live practice feature for prospective draft picks so you can get a feel for them before deciding to draft them?

                              - Draft picks that reflect what each team has in real life as opposed to every team having a 1st and 2nd every year (eg the Nets have heaps, Miami traded alot of theirs away)

                              - Practice should reflect practice in real life. Not some arbitrary boost in ratings. You should only be able to run plays, scrimmages or drills if you schedule a practice! This means if you don't bother practicing, you will be forced to hone your game in an actual game which is less than desirable. But the downside is injury risk (ie players should be able to get injured in scrimmages etc)

                              PS3 graphics also need to be the same as 360.
