I want...

1.) stars to make a bigger difference in games.

2.) most wide open shots to go in

3.) commentators to have more feelings for like amazing dunks or airballs

4.) more realistic rim physics

5.) more dunk and layup varities

6.) players that miss a lot in one game to have a cold hand and players that make a lot of shots to have a hot hand

7.) a All Star Weekend with an All Star game, three point contest, and dunk contest

8.) the crowd to be louder

9.) young players to progress more than the older players

10.) to hear players more on the court (for example, i want to hear them scream if they do a nasty dunk or i want them to yell ''short!'' if they know they missed.)

11.) players to change their hair styles once in a while.

12.) 24/7 to be better

13.) point gaurds to stop shooting and making threes all the time

soo what do u guys want in NBA 2K8?

I would like to see better shooting animations. for instance if your shooting a jumper thats contested than your shot should change. pluse the double clutch and a lean in would be nice. and for the legends to shoot like themselves larry birds shot is disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to throw a cross court pass without it being stolen 90% of the time. Im also hoping 2k8 will make the main menu a little bit easier when you first start the game, its not a big problem but im sure it was frustrating for most people at first

you pretty much got everything, but here is one

UPDATE ONLINE ROSTERS MORE FREQUENTLY!!!!!!!!!

i know it says loading online rosters everytime you get online, but Allen Iverson wasn't even moved to the Nuggets until weeks after the trade (if he even was moved on the game, i can't remember)

Just overall better AI.  For example:

-The point guard controlling the game needs to be fixed.
-The computer is horrible at side-out plays.  I steal it easily 75% of the time.
-Glitch:  If you dive for a loose ball and happen to dive into the other side of the court, your teammate stay on the opposite side of the court.  In other words, if you throw them the ball, it is a back court violation.
-Less missed wide open layups, and more made wide open shots.
-Better use of All-Stars.  I want to see isolation plays called for Wade, Dirk, Lebron, ect.

what i would want to see is:

1. ability to warm up with a player in shootaround before a game, i dont think its ever been done and would be cool

2.  better presentation, try to get the TNT rights since they already have kenny smith, kevin harland, and craig saiger in 2k7. especially change scoreboard and halftime show to make the game seem more realistic and on tv.

3. baller bands: i wanna see players wear their bands like in real life. live 06 had em, y not 2k8?

4. fix CAP: faces always look too flushed or pale. the 360 camera should be used too like rainbow six vegas so u can really put yourself or michael jordan in a game.

5. get MJ in the game of course with the 80s/90s team

6. bring back and expand the create a shoe feature, how sweet would it be to make your own J's?

7. sweatbands: they're too small on the elbows where players like Vince Carter or Kevin Garnett wear them. the only other option for a bigger band is padded  which looks wierd.  sweatbands should also be placed anywhere on the players' arms, not just 3 or 4 specific spots.

8. stadiums: the last time i checked the Target Center didn't have red but blue/black/green seats and the home bench is on the wrong side in the game. (ya im from "Sota")

9. crowd: make the people look better, they look all boxy and playstation 1sh graphics. a create-a-fan (back to the 360 camera to put yourself in the stands) or create-a-sign feature would be cool too. the crowd should also be more packed for better record teams like the Suns and empty seats should be shown if the game is a blow-out.

10. jerseys: physics is great and everything, but they look too choppy and move too much at times. some of the team's jerseys are off like the Lakers or Heat with that line near the V-neck isn't there in the game.  sometimes in 2k6 and 2k7 jerseys would go into players bodies and you can see their chest, just a glitch they need to fix.

11. all-star weekend: add the dunk contest, skills contest, 3-point contest...u name it. this would only add to the game and make the expierence better. i want to re-create the 2000 dunk contest with VC.

i just think that game developers should sit down and totally revamp the whole commentary system. i love the gameplay and everythin gin nba 2k7, except the commentary. i may just be picky, but i am yet to encounter a good commentary for a sports game. i think the voices should be more dynamic, with a possibility of more things to say. even if the just mixed a few word up, then it would be such a better experience. i know it must be hard to do commentary for evey little thing, but i think if they hire a few more people to deal with the commentary, then it would make the game that much better

also better player animations, with sounds from the players. im sick and tired of seeing that animation at the end of the game where the player walks forward, turns around and looks at the camera and they just change the person depending on who the player of the game is.

AND FIX THE FOCUS EFFECTS!!!!

Thing that sucks is you won't get the All-Star weekend in 2k8 because EA has the license for it until the 2010 season, so maybe in NBA 2k10 we'll see it

ok, that is still no defense in regards to every NBA Live game since 2001 being crap. I do hope the NBA Live series makes a comeback, but the recent games have sucked, for lack of a better word. 2k has really stepped up and taken the basketball crown, hopefully NBA Live can rebound, but seriously, it's been 6 years since the game has been good, i'm starting to lose hope

The main thing they need to fix is the passing system, they have improved by allowing you to throw bounce passes, now expand on this, i want skip passes, chest passes, lob passes, and lead passes all relatively easy to control. they could take a note from EA with the targeting system so you dont have to always rely on icon passing to throw it to whom you want

i also want a revamped graphics engine: players, stadiums, crowds, commentators; the whole works. 2K7 looks good, but not great and definitely not anywhere near as good as the 360 is capable of making it look, MAKE IT LOOK AND FEEL NEXT GEN!

i would also like them to continue to improve on isomotion and the dribbling system and make it more intuitive to string moves together

they also need to fix the defense controls, they could take another cue from EA with the lockdown stick but improve upon it, you should have more control over on the ball defense and feel more rewarded when you do it well 

for the people saying make more wide open shots...no, no. i'm willing to bet you guys just aren't good at shooting because i already make the majority of my wide open shots with good shooters

lol I know thats why it was so funny, but in order for live to get better it needs to make a big change from that arcadish feel to it, I think thats why so many people jumped to NBA 2k7

NBA 2K7 is a great game however there is defintely room for improvement that I'd like to see in NBA2K8

-I think the overall presentation of the game could be alot better. The graphics while excellent to outstanding at times can use improvements in alot of areas. The crowd looks very cheap and very last gen. The faces on the players don't look very realistic at all though the bodies are very well done. The commentary needs to be revamped as they say the same things over and over again like Harland always says they can get a 2 for 1 if they take a quick shot at the end of every quarter.
-Gameplay can use a few tweeks as well free throws and wide open jumpshots should be easier to hit. Isomotion while good can use a little brushing up. More layup and dunk varieties is also good. On defense they need to fix up a few things as you always end up with mismatches.
-Add an allstar weekend mode obviously

You guys have pretty much named everything I want.  My main complaint is the players faces look horrible up close, some are comical that people around me laugh when they seem them.  Not a good thing when you are trying to show off how good the game is to people you know.

speaking of player models I cant stand looking at chris kaman and his hair in this game, let alone real life but in the game its even worse
