What animations do you feel need to be added and removed to and from the game?

The TRASH standing layup animation, where they take 5 seconds to bend their knees, only to raise to their tippy toes like a child and flick their wrist, 9 times out of 10 your shot gets swatted to the depths of the hell.

Shaq would be DEVASTATED if he found out his player was even able to trigger this animation. This animation should be reserved for 5'7 players with 25 vert and a 25 standing layup, because that is the only scenario I see someone taking a whole 5 seconds to gather for a standing layup and not get off the ground.

The last 3 seconds of every rebound animation ever

Why is it bigs come down with the ball like they just caught a new born baby falling from the rafters, there is 0 sense of urgency in almost all of the Rebounding animations. I see people WIDE open in the paint all alone catch a rebound and take 3 seconds to gather their composure. This is a fast paced sport, go Look at Gobert Rebound, does he grab the ball and come down with it frozen in shock?

The one handed grab rebound animation is one of the only ones with a sense of urgency and we need more animations like it.

First off, I mainly play offline on real FG%.

I have a huge problem with 2K's obsession with allowing CPU's shot selection to be utter sh*t.

The CPU and I do end up hitting around 40-55% of our shots depending on the game, which I'm happy with.

2K, however, has absolutely no clue what shots their taking.

Every player 6'8 or below thinks they're Curry shooting off-balance step-back 3's and chucking up floaters in the lane that should have no prayer of going in.

However, 2K, because of their awful AI, has to compensate and therefore let these awful shots drop in to keep the game close.

This is my biggest issue.

The quality of CPU shot selection and the correlation with their % of makes is unrealistic.

I'm trying to find the best shot possible. Be it a layup, draw the foul, or an open 3 (I'm basically playing Morey-ball in terms of efficiency).

And the CPU is on the other end chucking up bad animations.

Mike Wang, just make it so quality/type of shot in 2K18 matters. And don't program the CPU to take step-back 3's all day. And tell the animation team to get better contact layup animations.

It has probably already been said but the animation where guys that are open will do a step back fadeaway instead of just catching and shooting. Demarcus Cousins used to do it all the time in MyCareer and it basically takes what would normally be a 50-60% shot to a 10-20% shot (depending on the player, but this was the case for Cousins) and it allows the defender to contest the shot. The whole point of a step back is to create space and doing a step back while open in this game does exactly the opposite

How about if i defender goes up to block your shot & he gets faked or mis times it, he shouldn't be able to recover in time when you go up for a dunk, & on a fast break when you pass a ball to a player, he won't move to the basket & takes an open jumper because thats what 2k wants = bs & that transition defense, this is the 3rd yr in a row & the sam cheese is in the game, I swear every since 2k has the park, the online game is horrible & more cheesy

Not to mention when the user blocks a shot that hasn't even gone up yet (while he's falling to the floor somehow...) or when the block animation results in him falling on top of the offensive player while the ref swallows his whistle.

This engine and physics are broken so we will continue to see new broken animations. Its like fixing leaks, you clog one part then it drips somewhere else.

All i ask is you make a slider tendency for hard fouls and keep it at 100.
There's way too many LeBron-like and1's in this game.

There needs to be more skill implemented into getting blocks. As someone who played high school ball, blocking shots isn't just some piece of cake. There's actual timing and skill that goes into it

My greatest annoyance right now is the game initiating a bounce pass when I did not give a user command for a bounce pass!

It wasn't always this way but now it's becoming so that 50% or more of my passes are bounced without me even delivering the input for a bounce pass - the game just arbitrarily decides to do this on its own.

Ok so it wasn't just me who noticed the increase in bounce passes. Highly frustrating as it's done in the worst possible situation.

+ more and new PnR Man animations plus big man short roll (Gasol like)
+ increase ball handling quickness for slow animations
+ re add and enhance off-ball fakes
+ add slip the pick animation (in general I would prefer let AI decide when roll/short-roll/pop/slip to paint/slip to 3 based on IQ instead of deciding each single movement)
+ enhance effectiveness of steal attempts
+ increase quickness of bounce passes

- remove on ball D bounce animation (I don't bounce ball handlers, if yes I commit a foul or take a charging foul)
- remove (CPU only) pass lane steal, basically when you try a backdoor pass and CPU centers jump and raise their arm stopping the pass and causing turnover
- not really an animation but in fastbreaks I would like to see AI players filling the lane and running towards the basket or the corners based on gameplan instructions and room available

Faster/More Effective lay up animations for small guards like CP3, IT, Kemba, Tony Parker, Kyle Lowry. Frustrating when getting to the lane and guys coming half way across the court to block a well earned lay up because of slow animations.

Contact layup animations need to be far stronger. Watch any of the current elite wings in the league like Lebron, PG, Kawhi, Durant, Butler, Hayward.

Watch how they basically swing elbows and use their arm to muscle their way to the rim.

Make the contact layups more physical.

As a general rule, layups are way too slow. You rarely see this type of animations.

Yes very much and we need to remove the animation where the player gets bumped by the opponent on a layup attempt and either throws the ball away or takes some stupid shot that will not go in

I know this is in the competition's game but check out this kawhi vs Kobe matchup and look how fluid everything looks as far as defensive retreats and jab steps.

I'd love to see this in the game. We NEED hip check animations too. Like, it's impossible to drive to the basket on offense without them. Every time i try to, the person just ends up posting up instead of driving
