Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

Get down of your high horse. My post is related to this thread, because it offers an opinion on gameplay noticed by the OP. My experience from day one is the same as his now.

You are not a moderator - so do me and probably everyone else a favor too, and stop acting like one.

I am the OP, chief...

Errrrrrr.........Oh yeah

Either way he needs to get down off his high horse.

I'm not on a "high horse". I'm just trying to keep the thread on the rails.

I thought I was pretty POLITE about it.

Sorry, but your post and info has almost no relation to this thread. It's not an insult or a shot at you, just a fact.

If you're saying "I've had this since this date"

Then I say "It's always been like that for me"

Then I fail to see how that isn't relating to the topic?

Bizarre.

I've noticed the difference in rebounding. The CPU gets a ton of offensive rebounds. It's not even funny.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

I know this is just 2k second making series since the next gen so work is in progress. but the free will of playing this game has been taken away from us. instead the game will determine the outcome of what will happen.

If the game want the CPU to score they will score.
If the game want the CPU to grab rebound they will grab rebounds.
If the game don't want the USER to not score you will not score.
If the game don't want the USER to grab rebound you will not.
If the game don't want the USER to play defense you will not.

Games are very predictable, you know your going to miss the layups or putbacks, and the cpu will make big shots. the cpu has some type of string on the basketball and dribble through traffic without any turnovers.

This is a very good game but it has reach the threshold the boiling point, is too much bs and it can't be hidden no more..it's a dirty, nasty, disrespectful, outrageous, feeling to it and make you want too break something in half.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

I guess I never really thought about it, but I would agree that I've noticed significantly more offensive rebounds by the CPU. I have stud rebounders with upper 80s/low 90s rebounding too, and they get out rebounded all the time.

I've also noticed the lack of CPU not allowing alley-oops or deflecting the pass as well. With the T'Wolves I'd have 5-6 oops a game and now I'm lucky to get 1 per game.

This was also mentioned, but I have noticed when I'm significantly ahead in the 2nd half it's like all bets are off on me cruising to a victory. The CPU in 3 consecutive games in the 2nd half are shooting 70%+ from 3pt range. Yes some of these are uncontested, but most of them are contested. On the other end there were times I'd miss a wide open dunk on a fast break with Andrew Wiggins who has a very high dunk rating.

With that said, I don't know if these are major issues for me but I have noticed some slight changes in various areas that have kind of had a major negative impact on the overall gameplay.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

Have noticed gameplay changes although I definitely have not gotten killed on the ORBs yet. Feel like rebounding is actually much better now. I've seen the "dropped" rebounds and this is probably there to limit questionable ORBs.

Alley oops were tuned down, it's a bad idea if someone doesn't have a badge.

Games are more defensive now but this just makes momentum stand out even worse. I shot 80% with 3-3 3PT in the first quarter against a terrible Knicks opponent and then shot 30% over the next three quarters simply because he was averaging 5 points per quarter. The game just won't allow jumpers to go in at all unless your opponent is semi-competitive.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

OMG..and the pass deflect. look how quickly they morph from one spot to the next just to deflect the passes, like there playing handball at the beach, whoooh!! I'm piss off.

I'm trying so hard not to turn this into a complaint thread sorry!

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

I actually see the rebounding issue. I had enough of it when freaking Ryan Hollins of all ppl was grabbing from Kufos. Alot of rebounds should be called for over the back and i even have that slider maxed out. Also seeing more passes just flying all over the place. I was getting dumb passes like this before but now im seeing a whole lot more. I had 3 in the 1st qt of my last game. Im also seeing players are not playing at their attributes on the CPU side and this wasn't the case before.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

I play HOF with custom sliders to balance the CPU edge in various categories but the overall issue is that for offensive rebounds, my player will have the ball but clipping issues have made rebounding really bad. The cpu will clip me to get rebounds, even with custom sliders the cpu still has a different level they play at. They still get all lose balls and their awareness is still higher then mines which I don't get. I agree with the poster talking about gameplay being real predictable, if the cpu wants to score they will and they dicatate what we can do. It seems like we are losing control of our players.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

To me Offensive Rebounding has become better since Beds gave the TR badge to almost every notable big men.

Its more even now, except in cases where your are using a PF or C who doesn't have it, you are screwed on OReb.

Re: Anyone else notice a difference lately...?

Well...some of the things I was noticing seem to be back to where they were before. It may have just been me, but I don't think so....I played many of the SAME games in MyTeam and even played a few Online Ranked Games.

The sloppy defensive AI and rotations are gone. Not seeing those at anywhere near the rate I was before. I could really sense it in when defending the Pick-n-roll.

Rebounding seems better, more balanced. But deflections by the CPU seem to still be up...and as Rashidi mentioned - alley oops are deflected more and inaccurate more.

Luckily for me, I was never a guy who throws too many of them...and when I do it's almost always to someone with serious hops and a Lob City Finisher badge....like David Thompson or KJ McDaniels.


I'm convinced it wasn't just ME noticing things that weren't there...it seems like there is some random "tuning" from time to time, like with Madden.

I'm wondering if this is WHY the game will just RANDOMLY reset my Controller Options in MyTeam from time to time with NO reason. Every so often, I will have to check and suddenly my Defensive Assistance will be set back to 0...and Icon Lead Passing will be turned ON.

I will have to pay more attention to see if these "resets" are coinciding with 2K updates.
