    Re: Online Quick Ranked is a problem

    I use a few teams so far.... knicks and clipps, but will pick OKC when opponents pick heat or lak. I practiced alot with the demo and caught on pretty quick with the new control, so i guess my online success so far is do to a slight advantage of being a bit more familiar with the controls. The demo did play a bit different but with only 1 quarter, we could never really see an outcome of how a complete game flows.

    I am also doing well cause of these issues mention. I am not one to cheese, but when opponents try to i will counter with the same cheese. So my 40-4 records, i believe has less to do with real actual skill at the moment since its only been less than a week of playing this game, and more to do with those issues which make scoring way too easy. I would say 90% of my games, both my opponent and I hit an obscene amount of 3's, with or withpout defense. My comp AI grabs tons of off rebounds giving me multitudes of second chance points, I throw countless long passes and usually connectd leading to easy dunks, and I can score almost at will in the paint, even with guys like chandler, perkins, deandre jordan. It's not taking much skill to do these things, so i know they are issues with the gameplay.

    I am not one that determines how good online plays by counting wins or losses. I can care less to be 40-4, but i just mention that because many think its only guys that lose that complain because they can't sem to figure out how to play. But i play strictly online only, so i am very critical about how the game plays. The cheeses from last year, like hopstep, spin dunk, standing and manual alleys, have all been addressed. I bet most of you didnt even know jabb stepping with bigs then standing dunk was a legitimate cheese ( thats how much i play online, i know every single cheese ) LOL... 2k did fix all of those issues. But these new ones seem to give that same bad online experience as it did with 2k12' faults. I would hope 2k does actually read and address these issues, because if they are fixed, 2k13 will be very close to a perfect bball sim.

      It's almost like you guys are playing a different game. Maybe 360 plays different than PS3? I've played about 12 games and most of the stats average out to around 50% shooting and 35-40% from three. Slightly inflated numbers, but not really. Some players are overpowered, but that's video games and once we learn what works better on defense than other strategies things will balance out, along with the subtle patches that are sure to follow this game around through the All-Star weekend.


      Things FEEL overpowered at times, especially threes, but when you check the stats at the end of the game that's rarely the case.

          I find it funny that people usually complain after they lose (or unable to adjust). Notice how people rarely complain when they're winning or doing well in a game? This dude played ONE game or one quarter and comes on here.... Learn from it and try different strategies next time.

            To cardinalbird - If you cant see the difference between 2k13 quick matches and sim style games then thats on you. As a result of how easy it is to score in these quick match settings with any team it turns into basically 20 minutes of college basketball on the defensive end in these games.

            Im more of a online gamer so i would rather there be more options for people online that want to start up a online game quickly to experience their game to their choosing especially in down time if they are waiting for friends or association opponents to be available online.

            But unfortunately 2k has no lobbies or searching for higher difficulties. If you enjoy playing in these types of games then im glad your getting a good experience of your game.

              Im glad other users on here see the truth and what myself and alot of other online users see every day in rank matches. My ? is y does 2k do this to us every year since 2k9. 2k8 we had different rank lobbies aka options. Now they force us to play this casual gaming stuff. Then they took unrank random lobbies out in 2k11 i think n 2k12. Y is my biggest ?. Y cant they make a good Online Experience like how Offline is.. Once we step online in a rank game its NBA Jam 2k13. Im not hating i love 2k and i hope mods on here realize im not bad mouthing 2k. I just want them to fix a great game for us Online Gamers thats my biggest problem with 2k for years.

                      Exactly. Online is the worst out of all the years of 2K. This is the first year they don't have laggy online issues during the first month of release, yet they mess it up by making it like NBA JAM where it's easy to make 3's and dunk in everybody's face like it's nothing.

                        I agree it isn't 100 pct sim, but they never will be. 2k will never do that, because the casual crowd would not like that. Sad, but true...

                        I don't know why people play quick ranked games and expect this. That being said I think some people are exaggerating on the matter. I usually shoot 40-50 pct and I have held opponents to under 40 pct. 3's go in around 30 pct against me and if they shoot better it is usually my own fault. My scores are usually in the 40s and 50's too, so that isn't that farfetched considering everyone likes to play up tempo. You just have to realize there are a lot of bad players out there and if you know the game you'll always have an advantage over them.

                        But don't play online and expect people to run plays, slow the game down, shoot 90 pct mid range, etc. These are younger kids playing and people who have never played in their lives probably. They don't know any better. Every game isn't like that, but take it for what it is worth. You probably hopped into a game knowing you wouldn't like it anyways. It doesn't matter what sports title you play online matches will result in people trying to do cheap things. However this year every thing so far seems to be countered. 2 years ago you could just hop step, hop step, hop step, etc. I don't see that anymore.

                          Im pretty sure that "Causal" gamers can read. So, 2K would it kill you to have a lobby labeled "Pro" "Allstar" Superstar" "HOF" etc, and tell the "Causal" gamers to select "Pro" as their lobby so we can then go to our lobbies??

                          The ironic thing about this whole ordeal is, the damn 3 on 3 Blacktop is more fun than playing a Quick ranked match...

                            I think its just as well at this point. Their already having problems maintaining the online system they have in place. Adding even more on top of the current system would probably cause the whole thing to implode. Just find friends with similar playing styles to yours for now. Leave the ranked match garbage to the cheesers.

                              I loved the lobbies they had before. You could check people's records and challenge them. Even talk trash to them in the lobby. 2K killed this for whatever reason. I'd like to know the reason if somebody knows.

                                Now your records really doesn't mean anything.. I mean when you do quick games you will see the other person's stats and kind of know what's his playstyle is gonna be.. but that also eliminates whatever incentives for people to cheese to win every game.. I mean even if you got 100-0, who really cares? no one except you can see it and show it off.
