    TNT pre-game show and/or half-time show and/or post game show.
    I know Chuck has historically been insanely hard to recruit for basketball games, but what about Kenny and Webber?

    Also TNT presentation in general. Authentic TNT would be nice considering NBA Live is going full on ESPN.

    You guys probably already know this, but NLSC Live and OperationSports have massive wishlist threads in their respective NBA 2K sections.

    Welp, hopefully Harden goes a different path than TMac when he was on the cover.. good season in 07-08 but was playing on one leg in the playoffs and his career was over after that year, smh.

    NBA Live 07 came out for the 06-07 season, the season prior to the one you're thinking of.

    First, remove Steve Kerr as an announcer because he's an NBA coach (imo). Clark Kellogg is the Clyde Drexler of 2K, also. But I understand it's not easy finding new announcers.

    Harden's fade needs to be more accurate for his mohawk.

    More Harden animations:

    the 3 pt celebration (keeps doing the OKC one with is hands down)
    old OKC one (current):

    newer ones:

    "super saiyan" Harden would be a luxury but that would be nice too ;)

    Definitely know about those threads. Lots of good ideas and helpful discussion. Over time, I hope some of that can happen on CF as well. I've been a huge Rockets fan since I can remember (which, fortunately enough, was '93-'94), and I want to represent the great stories of the franchise as much as possible.

    Now that I understand your question better, I'd say chances are strong.

    Lol so true... it's hard to do to much with sports games especially when you find things that work and.that people love like My Career and Association mode. Really the only things they can work on is the presentation and creating a better AI

    All covers are available to people who buy the physical copy, they will be inserts which you can interchange.

    Yea that's right. Not too worried anyway since both Curry and Davis are also on the cover haha.

    Honestly 2K covers are terrible in terms of design and have been for quite sometime. Have no aesthetic quality about them. The process is pretty much grab the first 3 shots from Google image search of the athlete, blend them together in photoshop using different opacity, add same gradient red background in use since 2K11, and five minutes later you have something that looks like came from photoshop contest on a fan forum.

    Why can't 2K spend the time and money to do a real photoshoot with the athlete and hire a graphic designer to create a theme that is consistent with the depiction of said athlete? For example Harden's beard is iconic. Use it as a theme with a clean streamlined design highlighting it.

    I can promise you more goes into it than that.

    We do.

    I like your idea about highlighting what makes each athlete unique: Harden's beard, Davis' unibrow, Curry's baby face. This year's theme is "Be the story," so we chose to highlight each athlete's unique story in the cover.

    So... The players story starts in high school... Does that mean we might be playing a college season?

    Probably just a pipe dream lol.
