Still patiently waiting on the day someone can make a licensed football/basketball game with a fully physics based engine like euphoria. Backbreaker was promising but suffered some weird gameplay design choises and lack of licensing.

Lmao the fact that I knew exactly what was gonna happen just off of the thumbnail. The up and under will allow the offensive player to phase through the defense like 8/10 times. When it’s under the rim it’s even more frustrating

i only drive to the basket with elite slashers like wb, durant, curry, superstars etc. you've gotta discipline yourself when players like craig ehlo can get past anyone whenever they want by simple running into them.

really wish 2k would have worked to find a middle ground there instead of just throwing together an easy solution and then spending the rest of their time on microtransactions and neighborhood gimmicks. *sigh* i'm enjoying the game regardless.

This I can't agree with. We should not have to limit the way we play to account for shortcomings in the game.

The gameplay is excellent this year but it is frustrating that without significant slider adjustments it is quite easy to get by the AI defender and penetrate. I find it interesting how much better the man on man defense is on blacktop mode, particularly during one on one. If they could replicate that in the regular game modes, it would be just about perfect.

A squad tried to abuse this against us in the first half. They were successful. Second half 2k finally stopped calling fouls on our blocks and we also drew charges. You can’t reach either because it’s an automatic if foul. It is slightly too successful and can be replicated at will

I'm not sure of the reason but its way to easy to drive past your man. I play on HOF and can beat the defender don't matter who to the rim at 90% is also not realistic. Making NBA blow layup can't be the answer.

What's good bro, I was trying to message u directly but my phone wouldn't give me the option to do it. I wanted to ask you if u could make a "OPPOSING CPU AI PROBLEMS" thread. I'm not yet allowed to make threads and it seems like nobody else gives a damn lol. The CPU NEVER shoots contested jumpers off the dribble, NEVER shoots jumpers from triple threat, NEVER just stop and pop when they get open off the dribble (they always float forward to a low percentage *** shot), and they will shoot that garbage floating 2 handed jumper on fastbreaks with only 1 man in front of them. It makes playing the CPU feel so trash smh and it's something Live does much better unfortunately.

A stickied thread could show devs exactly what needs to be done about these issues. Thanks in advance if you look out for me bro.

This ain't nba 2k14 bruh, that problem you talking about been fixed

2 things -player strength is over powering and there is too much of a speed gap between elite ball handlers with the ball and its defenders.
if you want to remedy this raise the lateral quickness slider. I have mine even with the speed settings for quick ball handler.

this also works for the slower ball handlers cause youll be able to cut off and trap the really slow ball handlers along the baseline, especially the bigs with suspect handle.

I also lowered user strength.

These are just random inconsequential videos of clipping...its ugly, yes.but it doesn't really show us how 'game breaking' the driving is supposed to be...

We didn't even get to see how these possesions ended..

MY thought as well. As long as Im not or the CPU isnt scoring more than half of there points in the paint as in yrs past, Im fine with it how it is, yes it can be ugly at times, but its a video game, likley will never be perfect, so as long as the end result is realistic I can live with something like just looks bad.

Interesting theory. I'll give this a try. What do you have "Lateral Quickness" set to for the HUM / CPU

Thanks!

Oh lawd we was just complaining about the sticky brickwalls last few years now some people want that back smh how about using the brickwall slider Mr wing put into the

Agreed that this is the real concern. Low post defensive position is weird when it comes to having the defender moved out of the way/phased thru. I think there should be more animations of the offensive player finishing thru contact when the game decides that there is a success outcome on the offense's part. This inclides the sometimes op drop step moves and standing dunks. We just need more contact animations in the paint

how about a balance between the two? it seems toe 2k just gave it a quick fix without testing like usual. I can pinch post iso into a one dribble dunk all day. next possession ai plays me tight same thing over and over. its way too ez.

Re: The disturbing truth about why driving to the basket is so easy this year...

Just run 5 out and space the floor and hit turbo and run into the defender and you'll go right past him. Wide open lane. I have been getting destroyed online against people who do this. There is no defending it. A lot of people have been doing it online, a lot of people are catching on that 5 out is even more OP than last year. If you play myteam, don't bother with centers. Run smaller players at PF and C. Scott OG falls asleep at the wheel for another year.

Re: The disturbing truth about why driving to the basket is so easy this year...

I did not think it was bad until I played my team online. I'm normally a Pro Am player and this barreling into players to trigger a blow by animations isnt a problem there for me. But in a H2H mode, it really shows. I had a guy turbo down court every possession catch and turbo into the lane right past me and either kick to center for a dunk or rinse and repeat until ball handler gets a lane.

I put guys on gap on ball and moderate off ball, help and no rotations, etc. and he was still able to blow by me. Idk if its lag online, or whatever, but there was no way for me to cut him off. He would just pass>turbo>pass>turbo. The only thing I could do was play off ball and that would just end up in a dunk.

This is what happens when there are no counters such as bigger hits in stamina reduction for contact or charge calls outside of holding B.

What made it worse is when I would do just one dribble move and drive, he would get this "ride me like a backpack animation" that would force me wayyyy off course. Idk how he was able to trigger that, but eh its 2k
