Great article. I totally agree with your comments.

rangerrick012: Umm. Online sucked big time out of the box. The post defense was non existent. It' got better but it's still to easy to score under the rim.

I said online sucked out of the box. But I'm saying other things like MyPlayer and Association, which were broken as well, should work better as well. In a perfect world, all of this stuff would work and we wouldn't have to wait 3 months for a patch to fix it like we did this year. But the online thing is a simple server thing more than anything else.

The lag, disconnects, f'ed up crews - that all should be relatively simple to fix. But perfecting association mode and making MyPlayer better are to me bigger fixes than online play. In general it should always be offline fixes > online fixes. But that's just me. And the thing you mentioned are more gameplay problems than online problems. So yes those are gameplay fixes that are needed, but not b/c of online.

And can I just say one more thing - NO MORE WHACKED OUT ANIMATIONS IN THE PAINT! This is a must, they must at least be toned down more, again the patch helped, but it's still a problem.

Also, thats not the reason i have problems with kick out passes. Unless you're telling me Lebron James has a low passer rating, it's not the problem. I can't tell you how many times ive run an iso at the top for Lebron, drove to the hoop, had a defender help off a guy standing at the 3 point line, try to pass him the ball for a wide open 3 only to have it sail 5 feet over his head.

I don't know what your sliders are.....But I've never seen LeBron throw one of those over the head turnovers.

What? The contact in the paint is ridiculous at times, ok not get rid of it completely, but there should be some rationale, my Center should not be effected by a little PG bumping him and causing him to have a seizure out there.

Please just fix online

Rick's absolutely right-- I already mentioned this countless times in the Gameplay Improvements thread

I dont agree with not one single thing on your list and you still have more to bring. Are you serious with this garbage? You think because you have a gripe, an example of it, and a solution that there is actually a problem? I'm gonna be very careful as to what I say because almost anything gets you an infraction with this website, even though we all watch family guy and aren't offended, anywayz.

Why when these "fixes' articles come out, its never about NBA LIVE? How come? please tell me, how the most played game, 2K, is always the first on this website to have the "fixes"...people are still playing and enjoying the title, still getting fresh rosters, still gaming in leagues, what is this "fixes" garbage?

I never see these fixes articles for Madden, even though you all at EA still havent gotten it right...still...but you guys at EA, always have something to say about "fixing" 2K, are you serious. and you have 40 fixes, lmao....I know you're bored and are waiting for Kentucky-Cornell tonight, but geesh, what garbage reporting...full court passes? shot difficulty? missing shots when you're wide open? Man if you don't wanna play basketball, don't ask that the best SPORTS game simulation OUT fix it so you score more, if you suck, you suck, No game fixes are gonna help you realize when to shoot, who to shoot, who you are shooting against, etc. that comes with knowing the players you are playing with...alot of what he speaks of DOESNT exist. And his video replays don't look like issues, he sucks...

Stop focusing on making this about 2k vs Live. You always do this - take these articles personal as if someone just called your kid ugly.

If you don't agree with the article, fine. State why.

As has already been mentioned, it's by someone who wants the game to get better and guess what - it can.

While I don't agree with the article completely, there are some points that are valid. Either way, it generates discussion in a forum that continues to slow down as The Show/MLB 2k were released and NCAA/Madden are right around the corner.

That's part of the problem.

Everyone says "default isn't good enough" then they go ahead and try a slider set that screws up something ridiculous. Of course the game is to blame at that point - 2k should take into account that you put Hands at 0.

It's not an issue with the default game in appropriate situations. It only occurs under pressure. Example:

Isolation, drive, kick. Simple.

Ok after getting my morning coffee and some thinking. I can see what rangerick is complaining about. But let me just say this. I think when shooting close to the basket (dunks, layups etc. etc). Lets put aside real life for just a few of my thoughts. When shooting jumpshots you press a button and then time the release. But when driving the user just presses the a button and animation/ratings/height take over. There has to be some sort of risk. If someone drives to the rim. And someone is standing there or defending...something should happen. we always complain about giving players "weight" and all this other stuff. But "contact animations a bad thing".....You must of been those kids on 2k9 trying to paint the sixth capel.

But I will say this....The animations need some tweaking. This was their first year with contact animations. Its not going to be prefect.

I have experienced what you are talking about. Even if you're standing still with your center, pulling the shot stick away from the basket, you'll get that funky shot that misses. It's like you're being sucked into the defense.

These animations happen around the top of the key way to often even when trying to avoid contact, so I agree that a center should still be able to perform his move whether it be a fadeaway or a hook shot. Just make the shot success lower if a defender is in front of the offensive man. As it is now, you'll have way more success posting up with or without a dribble. Those funky animations don't happen if you're doing your moves from the post.

On the flip side, if you go baseline, you get very little contact going to the paint, even if there's a man right in front of you.

Dude, basketball is not a collision sport. This isn't football. Players shouldn't collide in the air.

Players tend to try their best to AVOID contact while they're in the air. We're not playing on grass fields with pads and helmets. Crashing into other players in mid-air is dangerous and very few people actually do it.

You don't have to have contact to contest layups. If people watched games and looked closely, they'd realize that.

Where I can agree that basketball is not a collision sport, I would have to disagree that certain aspects of the game isn't collision related. While in the paint, you mentioned that "players tend to try the best to AVOID" contact in the paint. Honestly man you have to do you research of a basketball game. Having been shooting guard playing organized basektball, I would drive the lane with that purpose... to draw a foul... especially in game winning situations. To that statement is out of the question. Although there is some validity to your statement as it stands that it might not be the primary issue of the sport of basketball.

Dude, no disrespect... but you're not in the NBA. This isn't Lindberg High School 2K10.

Even on the rare occasion that the offensive player seeks out contact, the defender usually jumps with him, but doesn't go CRASHING into him. He'll usually jump straight up or sometimes even backwards, away from the shooter.

I'm not the one that needs to do NBA game research. 2K is.

The first and i mean the absolute first thing that needs to be fixed is the player movement i think that would help ease alot of the other problems immediately!!!!!!
