This "turn around" animation on defense.

this.

the dumbest animation in the history of sports games.

Haven't seen this one yet, but the "sitting on the floor crying for a foul after a made contested layup" animation needs to go too. Get up and play D, man.

Their is a much worse version of this animation although i supect its a glitch, i will try and find my recording of it where Gerald Green received a pass wide open, did a high speed 360 spin on the spot(no travel call) and hit the jumper.

-Better ball recovery animations defensively. Especially after steals and blocks.
-More shot contest animations around the paint that showcases defensive awareness.
- quicker lateral movement animations for the defense
-blocks off the backboard. I rarely see any .

I hear ya Rockie on the blocks off backboard: I've got the Block attribute slider at 100, and this animation is reasonable in my game. Give that a try to see if it helps. I agree with you though that particular block animation and blocks generally should work and be balanced out of the box.

I feel like that is how it was designed.

I have a slow Glass Cleaner, but when he jumps for a Rebound he's lightning fast. It kinda makes sense because how else would he get a rebound if he's so slow?

I agree this is by design, and may have even more to with badges like Chase Down Artist.

I only play MyLeague and it is frustrating seeing an unathletic player make an athletic play like a chase down block. I had that happen with Henry Ellenson. He's a slightly above average blocker, but he's no one's Lebron or Dwayne Wade (in his prime).

The AI seems to try and do as instructed: This guy is slow, but my calculations say a block should occur; let me orchestrate a block animation no matter what.

I can't be mad at the AI because it is a robot; if it is given faulty data it will spew suspect results (animations).

Recently, before every MyLeague game I disable all badges on both teams and 2K performs much more like the games from years ago; things are much more balanced, fun, and fundamentally basketball-like.

I agree with removing all of the things previously mentioned in this thread. One move I want to see added is Russell Westbrook's high dribble stutter-step hesitation move that he does in transition. He basically takes a super high dribble in front of him then stutters his feet while he runs back under the ball. It should also be made so that you can shoot after or come to a stop and explode out of the next dribble

If your like me you HATE the animation contest where the guy slips and tries to recover for the contest because when it happens out of a context it looks rough. But THAT stutter to contest is needed but it shouldn't be all one animation.

Add - A BETTER controlled recovery animation based on lateral quickness/momentum/speed.

We need more controlled stutters when you move, stop or change direction. The defense feeling like its glued to their man every time is because there isn't a more defined transition animation to show a change of direction stutter. The one that is currently in the game doesn't feel like there is any real weight to it when playing defense, especially the CPU.

This small change can add a whole lot to the game. No more guys beating their man laterally only to take a jumpshot while the defender transitions from side stepping to contesting instantly. Now there will be a side step, to a stutter recovery, and then contest. Much more organic.

There should be a long stutter and short stutter.

Long stutter - moving laterally with low reaction time and lateral quickness, I would think mainly slow bigs, or if you held speed burst reaching a high speed and stopping/change of direction.

Short stutter - moving laterally with high reaction time and lateral quickness.

Here is what I mean of a short stutter to contest. Demar on Taj.

they should an animation where the defender gets put on the backside or hip area of the ball handler. It's something Nash, Harden, Lin, and some other players do when driving to the lane.

Athletic, 82" Inch vert Oop interceptions from unathletic players.

Add: Animations that are based on real, natural physics of the human body; ones that do not defy logic.

Remove: The animations that handicaps the user, e.g. ALL OF THEM.

One user said not to remove all of the animations, okay, I agree but don't make them so damn slow. It's deliberate and by design.

They gotta bring the back the "pump fake, shoot and draw foul" animation from last year. Enough of these idiots spamming y and getting rewarded with ridiculous strips and blocks as they come down.

Add: Offball contact animations that trigger when offensive players cut right by a defender at an angle. (As of right now, offball contact only seems to trigger when a defender runs straight at or away from you. This leads to players cutting at angle to unrealistically avoid any contact, and then typically a dunk)

Add: 2k also needs to add more contact layup animations for when players standing dunk. (Right now standing dunks are OP and ridiculous, I suggest they factor in more contact animations layups and fouls instead)

Add: We need more fouls on jumpshots. (I don't think these should be two player canned animations, because of the suction issue. I think these fouls should be increased because it would be more realistic, and expose the late/bad contests you typically see in zone defense in 2k

Playing my LDD (just made it a few weeks ago), I have seen tons of Defensive Animations that I have never seen before on my offensive archetypes.

For some of these defensive animations (not all), I wonder if its not that the Animations are missing, but that nobody has high enough defense to trigger them.

What kind of animations?

Steal animations should not force offensive players to stop everything and lose their dribbles.
