Walking while dribbling animation...

[cthurt]

I know there are plenty of problems more important then this with 2k15, but I just want to know is anyone else having a hard time just walking up the court after an inbound??

The hunch back animation that takes place once you move the joy stick is just an eye soar IMO, and you have to barely move the joystick to get a some what walking animation risking an 8 sec call.

Just curious if this is a problem that needs to be patched or am I just to heavy handed on the sticks.

No detail is too small a complaint on OS fam. The walk up animations are inferior to last gen 2k14 point blank period. You can feather the stick all you want but they don't trigger on command and are not nearly as smooth as it was last gen. This is an important part of the game when controlling tempo. Hoping it can be addressed cuz it's an eye sore in its current state.

Glad it was not just me, but the small details such as walking up the court go a long way with me, so I do hope this is addressed quickly because it is messing up my on court experience.

I don't know.. it's like they mess up stuff on purpose every year to bring it back the next eventually and make it seem like they're innovating. Just keep what's working and build from there.

To get the perfect game we would have to dig into each title they released over the years and make it a combo.

It's definitely a lot harder to trigger the walking dribble this year. I've tried using it when I want to milk the clock late in games, but instead I just get a weird sped-up hunchback dribble whenever I feather the left joystick.

If my memory serves me correctly, there was a 2k a few years ago that didn't have walking animatons a year after the previous game did. I'm not sure of the exact year but I feel like it was around 2k9 give or take a few years.

It seems to me this is somewhat a legacy issue in the sense that when certain things are tweaked it somehow affects walking animations. I'm no programmer so I'm not sure if this is actually true or not, but I certainly remember walking animations being taken out previously

Yea, I remember back in 2k11 where the walking animation wasn't in the game too and they brought it back the next year, idk how something as simple as walking gets cut but 2k has done it before.

It is truly an eyesore, and I hope the 2k higher ups see this and get it corrected ASAP. I LOVE THE GAME!! But, it really would help to be able to walk the ball up the court and not have that ugly hunch back like sprint just after half court...they always sprint just after half court no matter how much you feather the stick.

Re: Walking while dribbling animation...

Hate hearing that the walk up animations are messed up. When they were removed for 2K11 really bothered me. Just added a nice small/cool aesthetic when playing. In 2K10 I found they could be triggered by hitting the left directional stick twice quickly in the direction the ball was moving to bring up the ball. Maybe there's something similar for 2k15? Hoping so.

Re: Walking while dribbling animation...

I didn't get why they took it out in 2K11 and I don't get why it needed to be changed now.

Yeah in 2K14 it was easy and natural. Now it's ugly! Same game engine, why the change? Another slap in the "Sim heads" face.

At this point why ask why?

Re: Walking while dribbling animation...

The animation are there it's just a control issue to me. Doesn't seem like it would be hard to improve it in a patch.

Re: Walking while dribbling animation...

Its there and easier to replicate in practice that in real games. I initiate it if I do the walk the dog then walk to pick it up I continue to walk.

I've see a couple of them actually, a skipping walk animation and then one like this

For whatever reason its very hard to do and I had sent a message about this to the devs back when everyone was going crazy over the demo from gamescon.

Hopefully they get it to trigger easier. Even last year, when you inbounded and waited for the guy to turn around, you could start the walk up...but if you didn't wait for him to turn around first he'd launch into a run. We need that fixed.

Most if not all of the gameplay aspects of the game were done in trying to portray basketball more realistically than it's ever been done before so I don't think it's "another slap in the sim-heads face". Its' likely just an oversight. If I recall correctly back in 2K11 Beluba was on the boards when the issue was brought up and he didn't realize it was an issue. The next year they were back. Given 23's post, hopefully they're there and just need some tweaking to enable people to perform them on command.
