PLayer Lock issue of CPU not passing the ball to your player (Not MY PLayer/MY Career mode) when you request ball especially not being able to call for a lob.

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

the programming of the new 00' retro teams. the ai drives to the basket, gets cutoff and just sits there dribbling in the paint doing nothing. open big men also catch a pass under the basket and just stand there for a couple of seconds.

this has been my experience, at least.

also - user ai defense.

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

Um did you read the post? People pump fake in the paint, no one jumps, and as soon as they initiate a shot the game automatically makes the defender foul the shooter instead of letting the offensive player throw up a contested shot

Perfectly legal tactic. People do it in the NBA all the time. There's a way to cut down if you are playing on ball defense. I've saw it posted on here and tried it out, won't post it though. Since they took the spin drive and nerfed the other go to moves we need something.

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

I don't know if its just me, but whenever I steal the ball/opponent turning it over, for some dumb reason, I get swerved to the baseline...
Like a magical God power not letting me run straight, I had about 10 times where my player went out of bounce.
Also, there are too many times where I'm on D, and my center decides he wants to sit with the crowd, letting the opponent center score with no problem.
And lastly, when the CPU on offense initiates a "swing" play (point guard passing to power forward on the three point arc) the power forward is left wide open, even if it's a 3pt shooting PF like ryan anderson or paul millsap, fix it.

EDIT: almost forgot, the unbearable, unacceptable, ridiculous warp cheese. I had a point where I was the pacers vs kings, rudy gay had the ball and was double teamed, somehow able to pass it out and after checking the replay, he stepped out of bounce like 5 times, the ball went through the defenders like 20 times. Another example, a CPU PG was dribbling the ball when I was defending with the L2 button to put pressure, so he just used the good old Yo-Yo cheese. This needs to go 2k.
And last but certainly not least, CPU defenders running at light speed on D, especially after pick and rolls and fast breaks.

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

- Balance loose balls to make them true 50/50 balls instead of going back to the offense for an easy score 90% of the time

- Add park rep back to Pro Am so there is more incentive to participate, and punish people with heavy rep loss for quitting

- Fix the stupid scenario where your player in MyPark goes to get the ball on a dead ball then throws it back allowing play to start while the guy he is guarding is wide open

- Tone down transition offense or remove the "quick inbound" animation if you can't program better defensive AI

- Zig zagging still works too well when combined with lag, the left right crap without a dribble move should cause more fumbles

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

Bail out fouls in this game is horrible. Guys taking dumb shots in the paint and getting rewarded with bail out calls. But u got a shot grading system that will penalize someone if they take certain shots off the dribble. So u reward user's with free-throws for bad shots in the paint but penalize shooters for the slightest mishap thats not an open shot.

Improve the grading system. Game sometimes still doesn't pick up what'a good shot and thus getting a bad shot grade. Improve player intelligence. For example, shooters still stand 3 or 4 ft behind the 3 point line when open sometimes. Make open shooters stand on the line. Or 1 ft off the line. No need to make a shot harder than necessary. Stop the silly catch animations where it sometimes take players 4 ft back. I've seen open shooter's cut into a crowded paint area when they should stay free and remain open. And I've seen the opposite where players have a free lane to the paint and Dont cut at all.

Ability to back out of an online game at the match-up screen.

When I'm controlling a player don't make me intentionally foul someone when I have my hands up.

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

MY PARK:

1. Option to turn off ambient/background noises

2. Fix the match-ups so you don’t have a PG guarding a 7'3" center

3. Fix the loose ball saves. 99/100 times when you go try to save the ball, you dive for it and push it out of bounds. Park players know whats up.

4. I don’t know if it’s the park only, but the gameplay seems slow and very sluggish

5. Stats don’t mean much when the top booster wins is 4500-80 lmao, but the only parks stats that don’t work on the loading screen are the Flyers

*****************************************6. When traveling to Sunset and sometimes Rivet with friends from Old Town, when the court finally loads up, its all black and you cannot play on it. (Major issue)**********************************

7. Rep bar does not work when you look at it in the park pause menu

8. Sometimes when the game starts, it lags you out of the game and forces you to just sit and watch until its over.

9. Make it easier/faster to rank up in the park. Once you hit legend, the bar does not move at all lol

10. Add more teammate grades that are used in MC

11. If your passing rating is low, theres no way you should be throwing accurate full court passes.

12. Take the *** **** super heavy weight feeling off the players. My guy is 85 on speed and I feel like i'm 500lbs.

13. Why did you have to fix the park mode so the flyers cant win again?

14. Let us join a friends park from the MC menu. I dont wanna have to join a park, then rejoin another park, thats just moronic to me.

15. Fix the alley oops where you toned them down to the point that people actually miss wide open alleys. Smfh

16. Just the overall movement of the players is terrible, so laggy and the players just glides over and you feel no control over him

17. We all proved you cannot hit two 3 pointers in a row, no matter how wide open you are. Fix that garbage.

18. Fix the dribble speed glitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtYkikIWB1g

19. Fix the passing. 2/10 times when I pass near the hoop, the player throws the ball off the backboard no where near the players and it goes out of bounds.

That doesn't make any sense. Imagine if the same thing was happening on the perimeter. Guys could just fake it once while you stay on the ground holding left trigger, and as soon as they shoot, the game will automatically make your player tackle them to award them 3 fts instead of staying on the ground and putting a hand up. How is that situation any different from the current one in the paint you're endorsing?

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

- more improvements to transition defense

- better interior defensive positioning and awareness to DRASTICALLY reduce the instances of off-ball offensive players trotting to the rim for an easy lay up.

Re: **The Official Patch 4 Request Thread**

Centers still occasionally drifts out of bounds (baseline) for free bucket vs. CPU. I hope this can be removed entirely (I adjust my defensive settings every game).

Up on-ball defense for the User a little bit. Not as extreme as out of the box settings but not as slippery as patch 3 would be ideal so if you beat the offensive player to a spot, you get the right contextual reaction/animation.

Increasing blocking and charging calls on the perimeter while you up the on-ball user defense would be ideal while reducing the bail-out fouls in the paint. In turn foul numbers aren't deflated and they don't occur in a forced fashion.
