Not sure if people are experiencing this in other game modes but a handful of the competitive pro am community have pointed some issues out in the game mode. Some of these have been lingering for a while now. Just a few are listed below.
1. Bigs are back to holding ‘B’ under the basket to get position and counter being boxed out in the paint. This issue was resolved in 2k16 but now it’s back in 2k18. It’s way worse this year with the high scoring paint success and contact dunks happening so often.
2. Teams/Players are allowed to call timeouts when they don’t have full possession of the ball or when they’re on the verge of turning it over. Needs to be addressed immediately.
3. The “snatchback” animation needs a huge nerf. It’s almost a guaranteed ankle breaker every time you do it. Not to mention it creates wayyyy too much space and it’s damn near an automatic green when done. This move is super effective with non playmaking archetypes and bigs.
4. Paint Defense is still terrible….Games are full of Slashing Rebounders taking turns dunking on each other.
5. The Blow By animations needs a fix as well. Players are just able to turbo down the court and bully their way to the basket with ease. Even players with no weight and strength do this successfully. This is one of the main reasons why the ‘5 Out’ offense is super effective.
6. ‘Walking Size Ups’ activate when they’re not supposed to. I don’t even know the point of these but it has thrown dribbling out of sync at times. Instead of hitting a rhythm dribble your player will constantly do a random animation instead (hesitation dribble, in & out dribble move).
These are a select few that I’ve experienced or seen constantly talked about on twitter. 2k hasn’t acknowledged any of these yet but hopefully it gets looked into.
