offensive 3 seconds, what am i missing?

[f3r]

by Towns, which start the 1st pass.


dont he stayed in the zone by more (by far) than 3 seconds?






I'm sure I'm not interpreting the rule correctly, can someone clarify it to me?

Both feet have to simultaneously touch down on the court paint for 3 consecutive seconds. Towns in the clip looks like one of his feet is out on a few separate occasions. At that point, all you need to do is raise the other foot that's in the paint off the ground by an inch & you reset the count.

All that being said, I've still always thought 2k was too exact on the 3 second rule. Its always been an exaggerated 3 seconds in real life, not actual 3 seconds

wait what? is it really like that in the NBA? in FIBA, to reset the 3 second counter the ball either needs to touch the rim or you need both feet to touch the floor outside the paint. as long as one foot is touching a small bit of the paint or the line, then the 3 seconds continue.


and I don't think that 2k is exact at all regarding 3 seconds. there are possessions where one player stays inside the paint for like 6 or 7 seconds and it doesnt get called.

I was thinking the same as you about the paint-area.


becuase this, I'm a little tired of yelling at the screen every game

That's only for the offense.

we are talking offense. as if defensive 3 would be important in this game. the AI never ever plays the helpside and thus never ever spends 3 or more seconds in the paint.
