Rebounding mechanics changed severely from 2K10 to 2K11, good thing ?

Well, I'll say this: for all of my irritation of the bigs jumping too high for rebounds and blocks, I'm just glad that it doesn't happen all that often.

I just took a look at the "other" NBA game demo, and just about every player has his head above the rim going after rebounds. Wow.

Weird thing is, this wasn't a problem at all in 2k10..

Yeah, I thought the rebounding mechanics in 2K10 was good. I just wish that we were able to fight for the boxout a little better. I'm not liking this skying for rebounds by the bigs in 2K11 at all.

I have a strong feeling 2K will address the physics of rebounding if enough of us keep discussing it on these forums...

i'm already pre-ordering 2K12

How is it looking in the full/retail version of the game ? This really bugs me in the demo, especially considering it was so well done in 2K10. Really, rebounding last year was tons of fun with big guys boxing out instead of jumping for the ball all the time ...
Also, they definitely didn´t jump as high as guards and timed their jump much better ...

Same as the demo, unfortunately. Bigs skying for every rebounds leaving the guards with nothing. Such a beautiful game, so this sticks out like a sore thumb. I played 5 games with Portland and averaged 40 rebounds per game. My three bigs (Oden, Aldridge, Camby) are responsible for 75% of the total rebounds. Boxing out is ineffective in 2K11 with the bigs just flying for rebounds.

The lack of long rebounds as always been an issue with 2k for me. They haven't accurately portrayed those line drive threes that bounce back to the free throw line off the rim.

WIth smarter offensive plays and better defensive rotations I think the rebounding will be better. More guards and forwards getting into it.

Too bad, considering the boxing out was one of the best gameplay features in 2K10.

Has anyoje tried putting the Rebounding sliders to "0" as well as the Vert slider to "0"???

The funny thing to me is....the bigs dont seem to have the same crazy vertical in non rebounding situations ...and while they do sky on rebounds...it doesnt seem cheap to me..I dont feel cheated going for rebounds....its almost a cosmetic thing IMO..

After some time with the game I'd have to say that I'd like my 2k10 rebounding back.

Yes, it doesn't have any effect.

Me too! But what I'd like most is for the vertical slider and ratings to actually matter. All this would be moot. Don't like the bigs jumping too high on rebounds and jumping too high (and far) on contesting a jumpshot? Let us have the ability to adjust how high and how far a player can jump! Why even have some slider and ratings (vertical) when it doesn't have any effect?

did you try rebounding slider as that is most likely tied into the rebounding animation

Which one would that be? So far, I've tried turning down both the vertical slider and rebound (offensive and defensive) to zero, and nothing. I've also turned down the bigs that I played with to minimum vert.
