This game gets worst every year.
Issues i have come across with this game;
- User players ALWAYS fumble the ball when a good pass is made in the paint, on a fast break or to an open player. This gives the CPU defense to close in an stop the shot.
- I have never seen Kyrie Irvin and Steph Curry fumble the ball or be forced to pick up the dribble after performing a cross over. Additional to that, it is almost impossible to get past a defender and they seem to be a step a head of the play.
- when trying to do a pick n roll or screen, defenders are always a head of the play and stepping around/through the screen, user CPU is never open after a screen.
- Shooting is bad. User players always seem to miss wide open lay ups again. When you get the rebound you miss a wide open dunk, get the rebound, miss the lay up again. Has Lebron ever missed a wide open uncontested dunk before? And what is with CPU always shooting three's and never missing. And why oh why when trying to shoot a standing still three, does the player fade away????
- Free throw shooting seems lost. When shooting the ball, if pulling the R3 straight down, shots will always go right, when pulling R3 slight to the left and down, its a straight shot, surely this would make the shot got slightly left not straight???
- Stealing leads to fouls. Once again it seems like an impossible task to steal the ball, go for a steal and the player gets a hug.
- Trying to block a shot, foul or jumping on the shooters back or dumping him to the floor WWE style.
- Player movement seems to have improved slightly this year but when you move the L3 button to the left your player should in theory move to the left not to the right and away from the opposition. Users don't seem to have full control of their own players. It feels like the CPU is somewhat controlling the user players also.
AI teammates are once again stupid, they run away from the play always leave opposition players wide open and get in the way when following a users opponent. Which team are they playing for?
I recently played Denver in myteam domination, they shot 80% from the field, the real Denver team couldn't do that. I wonder if the developers of this game have actually ever seen a game or even played it before.
How this game got sooooo many 9/10 reviews is beyond me. Maybe those giving the review should wait till after a month to give its review when all the problems start happening.
I really hope 2K bother to listen to the people who play this game and fix the issues but i seriously doubt that.
Oh and speaking of 2K, i recently played the latest weekly challenge and played the All NBA Pelicans, up 7 points with 1min 20secs remaining and about to get the latest token plus MT..... Game crashes with the ps3 screen indicating an error, so i send a screen shot to 2K support and the showed the error code reason and that explains that the game you were playing has crashed, close the game and restart. Do you think 2K would take ownership of their game crashing and giving the customer the token and MT points... NOOOOOOOO. As always the support team don't care about the problems we the users and customers have and Ronnie and Chris the two
PR guys always seem to MIA when problems occur and don't acknowledge anyone of the fans with a reason or offers to help.
This is my beef with the game and no matter how much hype they put in every year, it always fails to deliver and lets the fans down.
