Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

This game is beating me down like an abusive husband....but it is a REAL basketball game. Years of playing without really being aware of my surroundings has been a little hard to undo, but the realism is greatly appreaciated.

The amount of shots the computer hits can be maddening though, lol

My pride is gonna take a hit, but I'm dropping the game down to Pro.....and work my way back up.

I am actually going to agree with a Knicks fan here, the gameplay is tough and I love it. I also dropped it down to Pro. Just have to learn the way I did with 2K11

You're not here to argue because you obviously have nothing to counter argue the problems people are having other than "quit crying". And correct, you're not on here whining about a video game, you're whining over people "whining" over a video game, which makes your post pretty hypocritical and kinda funny. The game is not perfect and there are changes that should be made, it has nothing to do with being a crybaby. It's more like being rational enough to point out a good games flaws(all it will do is help make the game better). Instead of, you know, acting like a blind fanboy and defending everything about the game.

what are you talking about? read the thread from the beginning first

he made the thread in defence of the game mechanics and against people complaining after 2-3 days of having the game

the idea is simple - LEARN THE GAME and do not expect the game to do things for you !

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

The intensity is fine. The implementation sometimes is a little off.

I love having to work on defense. Playing against star players is beautiful. They have their abilities, tendencies, and play styles down really well. They play eerily like their real life counterparts.

Where the game breaks down for me is the things that go on in the cpu's attempt to ensure close, intense games. Mainly the precision of the cpu's offense where they pass perfectly out of double teams, shoot perfectly as the shot clock goes down to zero. And more so the cpu's role players and back ups playing flawless basketball above and beyond their tendencies and ratings.

I find it strange that Tony Allen all of the sudden can't stay with Carlos Delfino when he's supposed to be playing him tight, leaving him open by 10 feet.

I find it odd that for no apparent reason my guard will come off of his man to double Drew Gooden when I have him locked up. They do it to give the cpu wide open shots. Shots that they hit at an alarmingly high percentage.

Jodie Meeks has a post game? Really? Pump fakes, reverse pivot, step through, really? Really? It seems as if every move is at everyone's disposal. If I cut Meeks off on a baseline drive he should force a bad fadeaway, look for a cutter, or reverse the ball. Not post up and go through that myriad of moves I described.

Spencer Hawes escape dribble step back while tightly guarded as the shot clock expires? Really?

It seems the cpu goes to whatever counter it has at its disposal regardless of who has the ball. So, it says okay the baseline is cut off, post, pump, reverse pivot, step through. That's fine and dandy for Wade or Kobe. Not Jodie Meeks. The cpu says okay I'm being smothered as the clock is winding down, escape dribble, step back, fadeaway. Again, all fine and dandy but, not if you're Spencer Hawes. These plays should at the very least result in misses, if not, travels, loose balls, something.

Intensity is fine. Random blown defensive assignments. Random, unnecessary double teams, and players exhibiting skills and abilities they rarely if ever display in real life isn't intense. It's false. And it takes away from what is probably the best video game representation of a sport I've ever played. Don't turn down the intensity. Just fine tune some things. Greatly reduce the likelihood of bad shots going in. Limit some players abilities and we're good.

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

Exactly. Problem is some people are so hell bent on defending anything and everything about this game that they will say ANY flaws or problems(like players leaving their man open for no reason, passing being extremely slow, and ai having eyes in the back of their head) are just a result of people not understanding or just not being good enough. They often try to say things like "this is how real basketball is played". Because obviously NBA players will always just randomly leave their man wide open for no reason at all. And NBA players obviously have to throw slow overhead passes a lot even when they're right by each other.

We are talking about the intensity and we are not saying that 2k shouldn't fix most of the problems. But the thing is not everything that people say is a problem is really a problem.

"Eyes at the back of the head"
So your saying that the defense should not have two eyes at the back of their heads? I agree but lets call it both ways and I think that the offense should not have that either. so you can only pass to a guy looking at you so do you honestly want that?

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

Love the thread 23. Quick question to all those who are having problems with the AI "physic defense", "dumb teammate AI", etc. Are you guess adjusting sliders? Also, 2K rosters right out the box are often lack luster. I would suggest, either waiting for a roster to be posted here on OS, or adjusting the tendencies and ratings yourself. Sliders are your friend to the end. I lowered the CPU "Hands" and "Play passing lanes" sliders, solved the physic AI ball deflect. The CPU AI still get steals but nothing extreme. 2K does and excellent job of building core gameplay, but it's up to the user weather they are SIm or Casual or whatever, but you can get SIM results and gameplay. We are all big boys here, and we know in life, things aren't going to just be given to us, we have to work a little bit to get what we want.

See Sig...Never used sliders in ANY 2k game and dont plan to start

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

I feel like there is a window to learn some things on defense as well as how to stop certain teams. Played the Spurs twice with Denver...got whipped the 1st game because I couldn't stop Tony Parker's driving and Manu's craftiness... the 2nd time I put them in their place (just thought about the Grizzlies last year )

Would you care to share your tips on how you stop the AI defensively on HOF?

I'd like to know and apply them and then make a video of the tips you give

[erickonasis]

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

another thing i remember about the first patch at least they made the game slightly "harder" which was a good thing.

Before the patch i could drive with Shannon Brown almost at will every play on HOF and dunk...The patch took that away

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

that's the thing you shouldn't have to use sliders. This is a sim game and the default should be sim. The sim sliders are more like arcade though.

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

I agree with the TC, but I also agree with Ghostface. The gameplay should be challenging, but at the same time, there are very real issues with the game that do make it somewhat unfair.

I appreciate and love the variety of plays we see, but also, I hate the unforgivable mental lapses of the AI teammates.

Re: Please DON'T turn down gameplay intensity this year

Im sick of yall complaining in every thread you can

Stop whining like freaking babies and wait on the patch

The game hasnt been out a week yet and yall are crying like a bunch of women


Ohh 2k i cant believe you, I cant believe i have to think, I cant believe i have to play defense, i cant believe i cant rely on the ai to bail me out anymore, i cant believe yall would stop me from driving in the lane every time

Give me a break, take the time out to use everything the game has provided first, otherwise you're in here as well as other threads making half informed complaints that people are sick of hearing already anyway

You know, I was with you up until this post. This has to be the most immature response possible. People gave you legitimate gripes...why insult them? I understand that you are frustrated with the impatience of some...but the people in this thread are giving personal experiences that don't boil down to their skill in the game.

He can do that with that gold(orange? yellow?) name of his.

I'm not insulting them

im a mod.... I see some of the same people complaining about the same thing in every thread they post in.....

I never said there was no fault in the game nor was I asking for their gripes....some of them and they know who they are and franky only came in here to complain without even reading the op

Cmon man watch some of the agendas.. In here

I dont play online or any of that so their skill level has nothing to do with the thread

I'm taking strictly to the ones jumping from thread to thread just to keep posting complaints
