Customize the Pitch, Tone, Accent (NYC, southern, surfer, international, etc)
Voice can be used for: On-the-court talk, Press Conferences, etc.

3. FIBA, Olympics & World Championships Game Mode

More than just having the rosters, make a new game mode where you can progress through FIBA and Olympic tournaments from past/present/future, build your Olympic roster, etc.
Complete Olympic & FIBA Rosters
Could be integrated into MyNBA, MyCAREER, and be a stand-alone mode

4. Highlight Show like 'Sportscenter'

There's 2KTV, but should also have an in-game highlight show that recaps all the highlights and action from around the league.
Could be integrated into MyCAREER and MyNBA

5. Add Missing Legends - Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley

Pay whatever monetary price to get Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley into NBA 2K24

6. Virtual Reality and/or First Person View

Add a separate game or mode that is in VR mode and add First Person View camera
Realistic physical movements to simulate playing basketball (i.e. jumpshots, dribble moves, etc.)

7. More Realism, Less Cheese, More Gameplay Testing

Have modes like Pro-Am and Rec be more "sim", while Park is more "arcade"
Nerf OP builds, speed boosting, glitchy moves that neutralize Adrenaline Boosts, and unrealistic badges.
Have Gameplay Devs and game testers get hands-on and test the game throughout the year, especially in multiplayer modes to look for exploits.

8. Better Matchmaking in Rec

Have matchmaking be fair and go by win% instead of by overall
Remove bots
Have a "No Squads" entrance
Give Pro-Am more incentives so that comp squads prefer Pro-Am

9. Better Season Rewards

More rewards that affect gameplay rather than cosmetics
Virtual Currency (VC) as a reward (e.g. 100k VC for reaching Level 40)

10. Less VC Grab & Easier Grind

VC Prices continue to go up and up to create and customize a MyPLAYER build
NBA 2K24 should have less grinding, more playing / competing. The grind has taken over as the primary goal instead of squads being able to start competing and building chemistry faster, instead of waiting too long for player builds to get up to par.
Users will still buy VC because more builds will get created in this scenario
