And can you please add the lack of cyber faces issue and how much blending Kerry Kittles and Travis Best's pics makes no sense at all

Oh... and you should provide a description as to what is wrong with the layup video, forgot that also.

Will do!

Illustrator...did you modify the Pro settings sliders? i had to swallow my pride and try Pro rather than All-Star since i feel that it cheats this year...

I played one game of Pro with some slider tweaks and so far im liking it...no laser passes MUCH...im curious what you have..

I will try when I get home today, I didn't get a chance to play the game yesterday. So I will probably fire it up today and try out the Pro setting. It does seem to be what a lot of other people are playing on...

This is tied into the laggy camera. Framerate consistency is by far the number one issue for me.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if you time the jump with the exact moment the ref tosses the ball, you'll win this thing about 60% of the time if you're the same height, and it's automatic if you're taller.


edit: on the topic of losing jump balls

I put this in the wishlist thread, but I'll put it here too. Whatever it takes for 2k to see this and implement it.

Defense in the paint needs to be WAY more physical. In general, CPU defenders in the paint need to be more active and strong.

There needs to be more bodying up. Too many times a CPU big man will flash to the paint and stand there for a second with a defender guarding him who doesn't lay a body on him. From that point, if he gets the ball, its an easy two points when the shot/layup could have been made way tougher if the defender just put a body on him. I think this is a HUGE issue that hasn't been talked about enough.

Off-Ball fouls when players run off screens. Supposedly if you press the L-trigger while playing off-ball defense it will grab the player/try to put a body on him. This button either works terribly slow or does nothing. Make this work and there go your off-ball fouls right there. Fouls called for moving screens. There is a slider for off-ball fouls but it is absolutely cosmetic as it does nothing. Fix this 2k. This is important!

Offensive 3 second calls when a player stands in the paint for more than, gasp--3 seconds!!

2k has the best b-ball game in town IMO, but they are A LONG way off from making this a true sim.

there needs to be a fix for the jump ball situations
when i control the player that tries to strip the ball from the cpu, i always get called for a reach in foul instead of getting a jump ball.
It isn't a game killer, but it annoys the heck out of me

This is likely because you continue pressing the steal button. If you lay off that button, they will call a jump ball.

Ok well why won't you stop reaching?

No doubt man. More physical play down low is definitely essential to making this game even better. Right now too many people rely on throwing it down low and racking up points with bums.

It also doesn't help that weight doesn't seem to play a factor in backing people down in the paint. I can take Chris Bosh and abuse any PF in the league (regardless of their weight) by backing them down right under the hoop and simply laying the ball up.

Loose ball slider is broke again this year, it hasn't worked since 2k7. Hopefully, this is fixed with the patch.

I remember Rob Jones saying that they have new animations for over the back fouls this year but, I have yet to see one called even with the loose ball slider maxed out at 100.

Also, speed up the player execution of plays. It does not happen all the time but, there are times that players walk through the play assignments.

Dog can yall STOP all of the "Oh that isn't an issue for me. It doesn't need fixing," type posts whenever someone complains about a flaw in the game? So the hell what if you DON'T see it as an issue, so what. Let that man complain. Nobody is going to make up flaws in the game man. If you don't see the issue then don't comment.

Not to be a nitpicker, but I remember before the release of 2k7 I was complaining about how they still had those little thin *** armbands that looked like spaghetti straps, and it was you who picked on me for doing so. I appreciate the fact that you aren't picking on people anymore and standing it up for it, but you used to be just the same and I got kinda ticked off.
