Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

I play on Superstar, and my rebounding numbers are usually pretty even between my team and the AI's team. However, I will agree that rebounding is flawed on this game. The problem I have is the lack of boxing out from A.I. players -- for my team and the AI's team -- and the lack of awareness of my players. Sometimes, it's impossible to switch to a player that's in position for the rebounding, but does my AI teammate even attempt to rebound on my behalf? Nope. It's usually after the rebound has been secured that he even jumps up for the ball. 2K definitely needs to look at the boxing out and rebounding awareness logic for the A.I. For human controlled players, I'm fine with the way the rebounding is for the most part.

Yep, there's not enough fundamental boxing out going on - especially on the outside, where my ai teammate seem reluctant to turn and put a body on cpu perimeter players who like to snipe in an steal offensive boards.

diffent cameras have better rebounding.the stock camera is not the best for that.my overall team rebounds are right where they should be and i haven't made any slider adjustments yet.i would say on harder levels turn cpu off reb down 2 points

NOT ENOUGH OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS STILL AFTER ALL THOSE COMPLAINS IN 2K11!

I'm assuming you mean offline, because online it seems as though defensive rebounders are handicapped while the ball somehow finds its way into the offensive teams hands.

The ball will be falling into a crowd of players on the defensive team, who for whatever reason are all stuck in these stiff reaching animations (or not reacting all together), while an offensive player, even a smaller guard, will soar in with magically sticky hands to snatch one handed rebounds right out of a defenders grip.

It's pretty funny/frustrating to watch. They need to weight the rebounding sliders heavily in favour of the defensive team for online play.

I think boxing out works this year, however when you have the position you still come can't come up with the ball for no reason. There are times I had the position for the rebound, and the ball magically slides down my rebounders arms.

Exactly, this same kind of thing happens offline constantly too(stiff reaching animations, small ai controlled player grabbing a rebound with one hand out of a crowd of much bigger players on the opposite team).

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

I completely agreed with this thread. In fact, I was gonna post the exact same thread but didn't want to raise these fanboys' blood pressure lmao. Doing box out is completely useless in this game. Either the opponent is gonna outjump and grab the ball from behind(no over the back foul whatsoever) or the ball is gonna go to the opponent's hand. There are so many flaws in this game it's just way easier to point out the good things. As a matter of fact, the only thing that I love about the game is the fluidity of the gameplay and everything else needs to be fixed although it might be a minor thing.

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

Rebounding does need to be fixed but I noticed that Loose Ball fouls & Over-the-Back fouls are being called slightly.

I hate it when I have 3-4 rebounders on my team set for a rebound and then super CPU comes out of nowhere to grab the rebound.

Great defense for 20+ seconds and for it to go away to due a WARP SUPERMAN LEAP rebound is NUTZ!

Oooh, ooh and then when that CPU rebounder collects the rebound and kicks back out for an uncontested 3 that is unguardable... DAGGER!!!!!

Breaks my heart all the time. Good defense is not rewardable with defensive rebounding.

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

I think the reboudning is affected by the vertical slider.
I always turn it down to 0. rebounding happens more organically, and there tends to be more fighting for position and rebounds.

Wouldn't that affect dunks as well?

.

I have only seen over the back fouls called on me, none of them deserved.

And that happens to me all the time. Classic example was in greatest mode, 71-72 Knicks vs 71-72 Lakers where the opposing Pg frequently outrebounded Wilt Chamberlain.

I was like, "I can't see how THIS guy was the NBA's leading rebounder."

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

I don't really have a gripe about the rebounding as much as I do the 3 point shooting.....

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

Definitely seeing the stiff jump reaching, and the issue of Vertical mattering way too much in rebounding from previous years remains. The result is that Cs, which are typically the least athletic of the 5 positions and so their shiny rebounding stats aren't really worth anything when the athletic young PG jumps out of nowhere to push the C aside and grab the rock.

Big Men can't get no love.

Re: Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

Really? I think the rebounding in 2k12 is 1308528645 times better than it was in 11. It seems that the position actually matters now, and big players can still grab rebounds over small players if the ball is between them.

See, this was (along with fouls) my number 1 issue with 2K11, and the reason I still haven't bought 2K12 yet. I simply want to see if the issue is fixed first.

Having to put Off Reb at 100 and Def Reb to 0 is just not right. And even then they were often too low (and like never too high).

In 2K11 I think the main issue was Offensive players not breaking to the basket upon a shot, or ideally in a set play upon anticipation of a scripted shot opportunity. That and the daft suction blocks helping the player in the best position way too much, even if they only had the end of their arm in contact.

Seems now it's more about idiotic AI though (than Def-Off imbalance). Which is actually even worse.

If this doesn't get improved in a patch there's a good chance I won't even buy it.
