Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

[HowDareI]

Please, anyone who plays My Park or Rec Center, can we get some attention to by far the worst part of online?

Whole games are taken over by a 6'2 point guard that can dunk over anything. It's almost unstoppable unless you have a big to get your big..and even then it's probably going to be a foul..

This mode would be a lot more balanced/enjoyable without posterizer.

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

I think you overestimate the value of Posterizer.

One of my IRL friends that I rarely play with gets 2-3 poster dunks a game, without the missed poster animations where you throw the ball out of bounds basically, and every time he does it he always says "Just imagine if I had posterizer".

It's not a problem with posterizer, it's a problem with user defense backing up too far under the rim and setting themselves up for a dunk.

Also, Athlete is usually one of the first things that Park players max, so that instantly puts them at 95 dunk, along with the casual setting of the park and the ease of dunks in general. Dunks are easy without the badge.

I'm usually not like this on here, but no. You're 100% wrong.

In park, playing as a center, no guard should get a poster animation every time he gets a step on someone. Does Westbrook posterize Hibbert every time he drives?

Dunks are not easy, my center gets blocked from behind by guards because I don't have posterizer and get animations.
If I try to put someone on a poster? I throw it off the backboard.

If 2K wants this to be their new crew mode than why should we sit back and not address an issue?

Getting stuck in an animation is a problem..period. And a scoring one at that? Yea I'm gonna try and get attention to it.

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

I'd love to know how I'm 100% wrong when nothing I said was wrong. Everything that you are complaining about, can happen regardless if you have Posterizer or not. Poster animations happen with and without Posterizer, and frequently at that.

95 Dunk + Casual game setting = Poster animation dunks, point blank period. Hell, Landry Fields and his whopping 65 dunk just postered Sam Dalembert in my career. Pretty sure that he doesn't have Posterizer... Or any badge for that matter. It literally has nothing to do with Posterizer. Posterizer increases the frequency that it happens, but it happens ALOT without the skill BECAUSE of people maxing Athlete and the park being on Casual.

I find it comical that you think 2K wants their 3 on 3 streetball mode to be their Crew mode and thus should be sim style or whatever in the hell. That is 100% the reason that the Jordan Rec Center was put in the game. Park was put in for people who watch nothing but Sportscenter highlights and think that every play in basketball is a dunk or 3 pointer and want to trash talk you the whole way.

You are 100% wrong.

No, you're still wrong. Thanks for not reading the original post and thinking you're right though.

People with posterizer go up and finish their attempts, it's worse in park but I said it's in rec center too on sim settings so obviously it's an issue.

I have an 85 block on a 7'2 center getting sucked into animations from guys half my size. That's a problem. Posterizer compounds the problem..so how am I wrong? Please tell me what's wrong about a truthful statement?

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

You're absolutely wrong because you somehow thing that Posterizer is the reason you get dunked on.. And it's not. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that, but it is NOT the reason you get dunked on and get sucked into contact animations. I said in my first post that my friend, who is a point guard, gets a ton of posters without the badge. Thanks for not reading the post. (I can play that condescending game as well). It happens with and without the badge, and you're wrong if you think otherwise. Continuing to complain about the damn badge doesn't make you any less wrong about that.

I'm sorry that you back up in the paint and get dunked on. It doesn't happen nearly as often if you know, actually play defense, and not back up into the charge circle. It happens MUCH less in Rec Center too. 90% of the time, it's your fault because you're too deep. I don't know what Rec Center you're playing in, but the one I'm playing in, when those dudes try those posters through traffic, it almost always gets sucked into a layup animation.. Unless, and this is a trend, you're too deep in the paint...

Posters are a problem, but it's because the dunk system is bad, not the Posterizer skill itself.

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

You also keep mentioning stuff like height that are completely irrelevant. It's 100% based on ratings. You keep talking about your center missing the same dunks that these guys do, but you don't even say what your driving dunk rating is at, which is the key component for the poster dunks. 95 quickness and speed, and 95 driving dunk, which the majority of serious park players have, beat out your 85 block. It's not rocket surgery.If you have level 20 Athlete, you WILL poster people, often, and without your "overpowered" badge.

You're mad cocky for no reason bro. It's cool you got your opinion but you're not right.

Telling a center to "actually play d", oh I forgot a center guards the 2 guard in the paint..it's called help d. You clearly don't play center if you don't know that. If I come over for help d and instantly get posterized than that's a problem. You wanna play the "it's not the badge it's the system itself" game, it's the same thing. Stop arguing then. You don't get sucked into animations because you're the guard getting drived on, not the rim protector.

And no, it's not okay that a 95 dunk beats an 85 block. Just because someone's a good dunker doesn't negate all defense around him.

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

Nah. Press square.

And you're telling me to fight cheese with cheese now? I should just get an instant strip because I refuse to actually play d? Nah, no thanks.

The bold is hilarious. You literally argued for this entire thread that it's the badge causing the animations, when it's obviously not, and then try to flip it around when it's shown that you are completely wrong about that part. Nice job.

No 3 second calls in the park means offensive bigs play deeper in the paint naturally, which in turn means defensive bigs play deeper in the paint, which means bigs get posterized more. Every single argument case you try to make in the end goes back to "you're too deep in the paint". Help D or not. If the defender is standing UNDER the basket, and the offense player has a full head of steam with a launching point, the defender is getting dunked on. That's not just a video game, that's basketball. You don't defend shots from under the rim. In real life, perimeter defenders aren't getting blown by 90% of the time because of bad perimeter defenders like what happens in this game. But if Roy Hibbert stood inside the charge circle, and let Russell Westbrook go full speed at him, you best believe Hibbert is getting dunked on. You can shout Help D all you want, but Help D is picking up the man before he even gets to the paint, not as they're taking off because they just blew past their man on the wing and are already at the rim..

Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

It's a problem plain and simple. Happens way too often and that's why I refuse to even upgrades mines from bronze since I'm already dunking on people a lot more as a 6' PG.

I wouldn't mind it being removed actually, but doubt it happens so it should be nerfed a lot. You rarely see poster dunks in basketball.

[Fullspeed]

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

I don't know about this one. In my experience so far posters in general is not a big deal. I block dunks all the time and if anything after a few blocks players end up taking jumpshots. I did get posterize an couple of times at the park but not yet at the rec center. To me it not really a big issue and if anyone is wondering I play as a 7'3 center with like 60 blocking.

Re: Petition to Nerf/Remove Posterizer

Okay listen first off all the park is the park.. Posters are going to happen regardless. However Rec is a different story, The 2nd poster was right about the 95 dunk/vert.
When I first got the game I didn't know much about the skill setups so i maxed athleticism just cause I was too slow, but once you max athleticism you can dunk whenever in the park. ( I know this first hand without posterizer).
However rec was a diff story I can never get a poster on anyone in the rec.(I'm a 6'3 PG) I think it's just a matter of settings honestly.

I think taking it out or nerfing it to oblivion (Like PnR) is too much, as i'm more of a have fun with the game type of guy rather than a sim head.
My main thing is why does everyone want the Park to be Sim? it's meant to be NBA Street 2K15 lol..

Park you can trigger posterizer-like animations without the badge sometimes, but they don't always go down...with posterizer, you will always get the animation...
which leads to rec center..
less posters without posterizer, but the same animations at the same rate with the badge equipped.

I would know because half of my squad has it and tells me when it happens..if I recognize a problem happening that benefits me, it's sad to see anyone argue against it.
