1. Rivalries, there could be a boost of some sort when up against your rival. The relationship meter should apply in games, being able to trash talk, and being able to start fights during games which could lead to injuries and ejections.
2. Olympics or international competitions every 4 years, or you can set it to every year depending on your settings
3. Being able to choose which team drafts you before the draft. Random can be the default, but having this feature will make drafts feel less uncertain and unpredictable. And players can have the freedom to choose their specific career path. it can be a subtle feature that you can choose to do or not to do.
4. A button to save an instant replay, cuz i had some crazy moments and highlights and it's a shame how i can never watch it ever again
5. shootarounds feel kinda dull, i feel like there should be media people and broadcasters on the floor and the opposing team shooting hoops at their side of the court. it feels more realistic and immersive
6. More than 1 court design, like court 1 and court 2
7. The accessory 1 and 2 when customizing your character should be applied to the suit. i wanna wear shades and earrings at the same time
8. When making the suit of the character, can it not be limited to just a suit. Cuz i wanna make my character wear a jacket, jeans, a chain, watch, etc.
9. three referees in each game. Just like in real life
10. the ability to customize referee and game ball designs, without having to make another save
11. parades after a winning a championship
12. After retiring you have the option to become a coach
13. Coach mode. Along with career mode, franchise mode and commissioner mode. You can create your own coach character just like career mode
14. A quick sim and live sim for exhibition, i dislike how you have to play the entire duration of the game instead of getting quick results.
15. Eastern/Western Conference Finals MVP trophies.
16. More post game interviews. I rarely get post game interviews, it should happen always after games. along with social events
17. Offseason upgrades
18. Offseason trades
19. more hair options
20. Off court activities. being able to spend time with your team and coach in order to build morale.
21. in mentions, after games, i can see my teammates that don't really like me hyping me up. doesn't really make sense.
22. Message diversity, the messages in mentions feel really repetitive. steven b smiff says the same stuff over and over again
23. The ability to mingle with the people in hoopgram, cuz hoopgram feel kinda useless if you can't voluntarily interact with people
24. The ability to set up the win probability for teams. This is great if you want teams to have longer dynasties or even make parity eras
25. More arena audios. Like those ballpark organ sounds, and it builds up, and after you make a bucket the sound reaches its chorus. it would really upgrade the arcadey feel of the game
26. Pre-game intros with all the cool lights and flashes ,and introduction of starters, etc. Especially in the finals and playoffs
27. Career mode dilemmas, being able to make tough decisions and stick to the career topic
28. more dribble animations, like btb, euro step, etc
29. The ability to request minutes from your coach. Especially when your level is low and desperately want to play
30. I noticed that during games, coaches are just sitting down on their chairs and look really useless. A good visual suggestion is that they stand up while holding a board or crossing their arms, etc.
31. Height visuals, i noticed that every player on the court look like the same height. You could have a 7'4 center next to a 6'0 guard and they look the same.
32. Speaking of height visuals, when making your character, whilst tweaking with the height bar, the character gets slightly taller or slightly shorter. same thing with weight. This gives you a better idea of what your character looks like
33. More built in trophies like clutch player of the year, nba cup trophy, all star game mvp, etc
34. Speaking of nba cup, there should be more special events, not just 3 pt shooting contest and all star games. but games like nba cup, dunk contest, and olympics
35. When the ball goes out of bounds, can there not be an invisible wall? Like it just flies out to the crowd. Like imagine shooting a full court shot but it misses the rim completely and hits the crowd. It's a realistic and funny visual
36. In the recent update preview, when polan stronk was shooting free throws the crowd shouts "mvp!". How about when an away team is shooting free throws, the crowd shouts "overrated" or anything negative. It really gives the crowd a better use in games and upgrades the court environment and energy
37. Speaking of crowds, some of the fans can be holding up signs that hypes up the team or a specific player on the roster. Or just disses an opposing team or player
38. More quick plays
39. More menu music, i know the current music is iconic and catchy but there needs to be more
40. Defensive methods. Double team, defensive pressure, etc. (in career mode)
41. Players having different color shoes. i noticed that every player in their team have shoes in the same color pallet as their team. it's a nice little feature to implement different colored shoes just like in real life.

I added more suggestions, if there's stuff i missed kindly tell me :) And i really hope these suggestions reaches koality 🙏

Hey Koality and devs I just think that it would be really cool if players got a basketball IQ stat that's all. And maybe some update for the non premium players?? There's a all NBA/HL update coming soon so my defense is pretty much gone but maybe more 5 star players like Polan Stronk who can create their own shot.
