    Re: Online Quick Ranked is a problem

    hopefully 2k will patch some of the issues. I am strictly an oniine player. I do enjoy playing a sim game but can cheese with the best of them if thats the game my opponent decides to play. Remember 2k12 was terrible during release and with a few patches and updates, it was more tolerable. I am sure 2k wil eventually fix these issues and make it a bit more sim.

    I have played a bunch of rank quick matches, all the issues most online players are complaining about are legitimate complaints. The game is far too easy offensively at the moment. I am 47-5, so i have been winning the majority of my games. Not gonna take credit for being skillfull at the moment, its very easy to score, 3's go in often, COMP AI grabs a million off boards, long passes lead to dunks like 80% of the time, and very easy to score in the paint.

    But i will admit, I have won alot of games because I am forced to be extra alert on defense, never taking a break, constantly switching and running to shooters because of the high success rate. So I try to look at it like this. Since offense is soooo over powering right now, take the time and really try and practice your D. I mean, really concentrate and look at all the players on the floor. Try to anticipate where your opponent wants to go. You won't always get stops and sometimes they will hit shots heavily contested. But when they patch things and percentages are more realistic, you will be tat much better on defense.

    The most successful defensive stradegy at the moment is to really try and anticipate where the offense wants to go or pass and jump ahead of them. If you guess wrong you will probably pay cause any slight open space and they will hit shots now. But keep practicing, record means nothing, but after a while you will get really good on defense and when things get patched up, it would make defense seem alt easier and more effective.

    We can't expect to counter everything and be great at the game already, its only been out for less than a week. I will continue to play and give it more time, regardless of small glitches/bugs and just practice and get better at defense.

        The ironic thing about this whole ordeal is, the damn 3 on 3 Blacktop is more fun than playing a Quick ranked match...
        LOl it really is and I didn't think I'd like it. Me and my crew play d on there. We run a triangle defense and we've held people to under 30 pct shooting.

        That being said I am not giving up on quick games. I enjoy them and don't think they are that bad as people say they are. One general I have is I don't play the Heat, Thunder, or Lakers. That will save a lot of people some frustrations if they did the same.

          you're probably one of those cheesers trying to cover your tracks by saying "all you have to do is..." nope. not buying it. thats not all you do to cheesers. they do more then shoot 3's. they throw the ball full court. getting your defenders out of position no matter what you put the settings on. its like the animation for your defenders to turn around and run to cut off the guys lane just doesnt work properly. so you're stuck back pedaling when you should be turning around running the same direction as the offensive player who is about to receive the long bomb pass.

            I take back some of what I said in my original post. They simply just need to increase the difficulty or something. You can never stop how people play the game, but you can change the settings so they don't get rewarded for playing badly. Last year I didn't play online too much, but I think I was around 130-20 record. This year I am only like 11-4 and I've lost 3 out of 4 games. I don't feel like I am getting out played though. I mainly lose due to a few things:

            1) Offensive rebounding: I don't know how many times I play good defense, force my opponent into a bad shot then my guys just stare at the ball as it goes off the rim and allows their man to get the boards over them. Then they kick it out for a wide open 3.

            2)Turnovers: People spamming the steal button has always been there, but this year it just feels awkward. Maybe I am just not use to the new control scheme, but it seems like people recover even when I burn them after they get caught reaching. I think online people start off in a man, switch to a zone once you penetrate and this allows them to recover quicker or something.

            3)Cherry Picking and fastbreaks: This kind of goes with the turnovers, but I swear half the good players I have faced rely on this tactic. Sad thing is I have my crash boards on 0 and hold sprint to get back on defense, but that won't even be good enough. I had a guy just hold Turbo and do about 10 crossovers until he got into the lane. It was impossible to stop in transition. The outlet passing is almost too good too. I do see some bad passes, but sometimes they happen too often. Only players like Kevin Love that are known for excellent outlet passes should be doing this.

            I also find it funny when I actually go onto dominate a game...my opponent just quits. I never quit and never give up. I don't understand what is wrong with the online community. I'd hate to see them actual play or coach a sport. They'd give up every game they start losing.

                Wow I Just played someone who literally would dribble the ball with Nash. Wait till Howard goes into the paint. Pass it to him for a easy dunk.

                Thanks a lot 2K. There is no bumping what so ever. Howard just walks into the paint the pass ALWAYS gets to him. Of you try to steal you get a stupid slow motion steal animation. And he gets a dunk. I swear every procession that was what he was doing. I lost by 1 btw


                Thanks a lot 2K. You guys encourage bs online

                    Hopefully 2k will address these Online Problems soon.
