This is what foot planting used to look like in 2k16

Lol, feel better now?

But I agree the footplanting can be a little wonky.

I would have felt better if Lebron could have given his team a couple wins in that series. Basically Lebron James verses a team of 4 starting all stars.

I was hoping more examples coming in to address the issue on lack of footplanting and momentum, and hopefully 2K can get notice it.

I managed to track down this particular offball movement lacking of footplanting animation. In this clip, u'll see Sexton (AI) offball chasing Curry towards baseline. After Curry went passed Cousins at the post, he changed direction and cut back into the paint. Sexton just stopped instantaneously and stick to Curry conveniently on the opposite direction.



There should be some stop animation by way of one foot stopping the forward motion and body rotation to turn and continues chasing Curry.

Curry had some decent footplant while changing direction. The offense usually has better footplant (not perfect by any means. Just look at Curry sliding after even gets around). Look at the guy guarding Durant in the corner, still don't know his name. His feet has no solid grounded footplant. He's taking smaller lateral strides but is able to cover so much ground with only a couple steps.

I have always been more concerned about defensive footplant. The running in a straight line footplant (I think) has always been fairly good.... **Then watch me go into instant replay mode and it'll probably tell a different story... I don't know**

It's always been an issue, especially for the CPU defense. Considering that a major aspect of offense in basketball is creating space, the momentum and footplanting are huge aspects that need to be better accounted for.

Again, I can live with the footplanting animations not being perfect as long as the result is realistic. Right now, momentum is only accounted for maybe 50% of the time, and that is not a good thing.

I have always thought 2k didn't focus enough on defensive animations. Basketball may be an offensive heavy game, but there are two parts to the equation; don't forgot about defensive animations.

I am the defender. I was so happy to see the following yesterday that I just had to capture it from multiple angles. Hard footplant to stop momentum and change direction. Maybe it's always been there, but I was surprised to see a hard stop.

That is exactly what I expected to see in my original post. And it's obvious the game can do it. But for whatever reason, the CPU does not abide by the same laws that users do when it comes to momentum.

Nice! This is great to see that it's in the game. I have yet to see this myself..
