Chris....do you know that there are other risk when pump faking? You can cause the steal animation about 80% of the time. If your really tight on the offensive player. All you have to do is press L2 and Steal just before they are pump faking. And it will either be a steal or off their body and out of bounds.

Also I haven't experience any of those pump fake for a 3 users yet. And I've been playing way before release day...lol Sad I know.

Everything he said here is on my wishlist: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...shlist-54.html

I agree with him but why limit it to 40? I can think of hundred if not thousands of things to fix for 2K11 if I really put the time in.

But CPU rarely does this. I also want the CPU to utilize the 'leaning towards defender to draw a foul' animation when the user is jumping all over the place playing undisciplined defense.

He was talking about user vs user...Not CPU vs Users.

I do agree with number 19...Alot!!

Reaching Fouls is pretty hard thing. You don't want it to for every missed time steal there should be a foul called. That would be too frustrating for the casual gamer. I think these things should be adjustable with sliders. But the failed steal attempt animations are a perfect counter for button smashers. I totally agree on your point that we need more of those animations

About the double teams....I think the biggest problem is really that 2k didn't really give controls of what you can do to beat them. I don't think many people know that you can move while in a double team. Or even dribble out of one. But for the most part. When my friends jam on the steal button. They are more likely to get a reach in foul.

LOL. Really? Make online same as offline? How about keep it limited. Cheesers abound. Get rid of them and I'm sure they would love to keep both the exact same.

Good list though man.

.

If they based it off a players combined defensive awareness/steal rating average I'd be ok with it. For example if someone is jabbing on the steal button relentlessly with a low rated defender he should be called for a foul every failed attempt or every other failed attempt. The higher your rating the more leeway you get in that regard.

I don't know what level everyone plays on. But this has been my experience. If I press the steal button. And get a fail attempt animation. I would say about 90% of the time if I try again (and miss). I will get a foul called on me.

I'm playing right now to get my fix until NCAA comes out.

Something I didn't see on the list:
There needs to be a Strength rating that is based off of Height & Weight of players so the Shaq's/Howard's can really move player's in the "Post".

There needs to be a Power rating that determines a player's ability to exert force during contact (Pierce, Kobe, LeBron, D. Williams etc...) that allows them to play through that contact.

Smooth out or include setup steps/momentum into jumpshot (NCAA Basketball 10)

NBA inside Drive on Xbox had the perfect Block from Behind animation that's needed.

CH 2k8 Player Shoot around during Pre-game talk up.

NFL 2k5 type interviews with player's/coaches.

More pass variations (low spin bounce, one hand Shaq etc...)

Allow Ranked Hall of Fame games. That will leave the cheesers on the superstar level.

[BlackRome]

2k needs to take a look at their leader board. I often take a look at their shots selection . If you look at the last game the user played at the top of the leader board they normally score all of their points right under the rim. 2k8 had all but eliminated the abuse of the paint. They did it by making the block and steal in the paint more effective. I was ranked in the top 20 on 2k8. You did not see this type of abuse then.

Users learned you could not live in the paint. You also could disrupt the center running right down the middle.

All of that has been changed.

Calling plays is too often an exercise in futility because we leave ourselves a sitting duck for button mashers.

This has happend to me so many times online. Instead of calling a play, the steal spammer can move your offensive player all the way across the court without a foul call. Even when I haven't moved the left stick.

17. Reaching Fouls

Yes, these are still an issue after all this time, especially online. The fact that reaching fouls still are not called at a frequent enough rate is perplexing and hampers gameplay. Calling plays is too often an exercise in futility because we leave ourselves a sitting duck for button mashers. The NBA game is one of position defense and playing the passing lanes, not poking away for on-ball steals. Gamers like the animations where "reachers" get out of defensive position (I would love to see more of them), but nothing will resolve this for good like calling frequent and consistent fouls.

YES YES YES
