Starting to have an issue with how this game doesn’t simulate actual basketball

[Housh123]

I hope to god that pic shows so ppl can get a visual on what I’m taking about.



Let me detail the situation for you guys.


It’s a pick and roll. I’m the ball handler. The players involved are Darius Garland, Drew Bledsoe, Giannis, and Evan Mobley(A Rookie with great defense stats. From a downloaded draft class) i run the PnR good and Giannis/Bledsoe switch putting Bledsoe on my big man Mobley.

So i press Y to pass because i want the pass to be high because i want Mobley to eat Bledsoe’s lunch. But when i pass the ball is thrown in Bledsoe’s range and it’s stolen.



So in REAL basketball you know in that situation you throw that thang up HIGH to where only your man can get it. I just find it funny how these basic basketball principles escape 2k.


I ended up throwing an EASY turnover and they scored.


I just feel like this game is really bad and they need to actually study basketball

You can thank the rise of park and pro am for this. We're never going to get anything that resembles real basketball as long as my park is the most popular mode in the series.

Re: Starting to have an issue with how this game doesn’t simulate actual basketball

I used that kind of pass (lob with Y) and with the right conditions it has worked.
Is Bledsoe boxed out by your player? Seems to be not from the picture.
What about the passing skill of the passer?

Is not the simplest play to complete but you can.

I just really hate how in my career when starting off, it’s so hard to give your team a lead and when u finally do they sub you out and then you’re losing by time they sub u back in .. literally hate that

Re: Starting to have an issue with how this game doesn’t simulate actual basketball

I hate these type of replies:

"oop it next time"

" did you boxed him out" etc

OP makes a very solid point, SUPPORTED BY A PIC

Garland plays the pick and roll and It has worked perfectly

Then passes the ball.

Bledsoe is not even close to the Center. Yet he steals the ball without even having to jump

Has anyone see this in a real game?

I am fed up listening to ways to counter the errors of 2k mechanics. It is a simple pass to an unmarked played who is 8 inches taller than a defender 3 yards away

You're totally right. Why would anyone want to share STRATEGIES to improve the users EXPERIENCE with the game so they can get actual ENJOYMENT out of the game. Responses like that are so rude.

We should all just keep doing things that don't work and keep turning the ball over.

Man, dod you read the title of the thread?
The OP has issues that the game doesn’t simulate actual basketball
Not that he turns the ballover

Telling him an strategy to by-pass the issue does not solve the issue itself
This is a 2k mechanics issue

It is like the one that your teammate will be wide open, but we would start running towards the basket, just perfectly to be inside the area that a defender would cover in a 3 vs 2 situation

The issue is that he wanted to throw a lob but Y doesn't ALWAYS give you a lob for every situation.

What is an alley-oop? A lob pass. A garaunteed lob pass at that.

I guess we should just mindlessly complain about a game we paid for about things that have simple, effective work arounds huh? Do you live life like that? Just getting outraged about everything? I refuse to do that, **** is tough enough without me getting mad about things that are easily in my control. You do you tho.

Alley oop is NOT a lob pass. Is a shot attempt after a pass and not equivalent to a lob pass.
Y should do a lob pass. It is what differentiates it from x as a pass.
Why would you just accept that it will not always work.

Having work arounds is NOT the same as the game working as it should any every paying customer has every reason to complain

Uhhh no.

The defender is not jumping in the picture to intercept the ball.

He is standing there with his hands up.

With that ball trajectory it should be intercepted.

When i throw a lob pass using triangle the defender has to jump. Hands up aint enough.

So no the picture does not says there is an issue.

What does the shot attempt have to do with the type of pass that is thrown? The arch on the ball determines whether it's a lob pass or not.

I'm not going get outraged and picket in the streets because of one instance. The lob pass works like it should in most situations. There is critiquing and there is whining.

One thing doesn't go your way so now the WHOLE game is a terrible reputation of basketball? That's ridiculous. You just don't want to adjust, to anything, whether it's basketball related or not.

Re: Starting to have an issue with how this game doesn’t simulate actual basketball

The denialists on this forum are growing in numbers.

There are 3 threads on the main page about passing lane steals, but the thread makers are just doing it wrong every time? Come on now. I made a thread about this, then 2 days later another member makes one and admits in his thread he was wrong to discredit mine.

This is a very small community compared to what it used to be. And especially when compared to the vast majority of social media and the players that play this game consistently online, not just offline. If everyone in the world seems crazy to you, logic dictates you're the crazy one.

People are allowed to have their own opinions. The whole "git gud" mentality serves no one.

Huh? Why blame park and Rec players for this? This constant divide-by-mode is a bigger problem than any mode can be. If/when this happens in those modes it's just as frustrating, so don't see the point of placing blame. Smh...

Re: Starting to have an issue with how this game doesn’t simulate actual basketball

I honestly wasnt gonna say anything

I explained it well enough

I ran the PnR I got the switch. I then spaced out and saw my starting C on a PG and pressed the button 2k designated as the lob pass.

idk what im even supposed to say to "just alley oop it every time". how is that gonna work every single time?
