    Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

    It's great the way it is. In real life you don't see players constantly trying to steal, important thing on defense is to stay between the rim and the ball. Learn basketball stop crying cheesers. End of story. Now let's talk about Online Association!!!! Pay attention to Online Association 2k! So many things to be added...

      I think it's fine online. I really don't understand why this had to be patched. It was a online problem, so I don't understand why 2k couldn't just adjust the sliders or increase the difficulty. But whatever.

      I've never been a "reacher" so it hasn't effected my career experience. But I have noticed that since the patch a lot of players online are adjusting and playing off ball defense. One of the advantages of being on the PS3 is you know the exact player being controlled off the ball on defense.

        Man the reach in fouls are crazy now that the patch came back its good to see people hardly reach online now but in my career i swipe once because i have pick pocket and its a foul it gets very frustrating thats why now when i play my career i dont even think of pressing the steal button. I think it really needs to be lowered.

            I understand why some people like the new patch as some of us were abusing the swipe steal system. But now it is just impossible to get a steal by stripping the ball off your opponent. In Myplayer career mode, as a #1 draft pick PG for the Hornets, I have 95 steal attribute and pickpocket level 3, but I keep getting reach-in fouls every time I strip the ball of my opponent. Even against poor ball handlers. Example in my last game against Phoenix, I got reach in fouls for stripping the from Marcin Gortat and Markieff Morris. With the new patch the Pickpocket Signature Skill is USELESS!! All I'm saying is; 2K needs to find a middle ground/balance between the easy steals before the patch and the ridiculous amount of reach-in fouls after the patch.

              Well that's on you. In no way is that kind of defense realistic. IRL, you can't just make players take a step back whenever you want to, when they are bringing up the ball, ON EVERY SINGLE POSSESSION. Play with your feet, not your hands, and that GOES FOR THE REST of you "yes, it's too much" people.

                I don't care what the online dudes say...

                In MyCAREER, a foul should NOT be called e.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. time I reach. There are legitimate times to go for the ball. I don't ever play NBA 2K online so I was not affected by the spam stealing.

                I'm an offline-exclusive player and now my game is screwed-up because there are no sliders in the mode I play. I suggest 2K put out two discs of future NBA games Disc 1: (offline MyPLAYER/MyCAREER) and Disc 2: (Every-other-game-mode).

                Patch 1.02 has caused me to not be able to go for a legitimate steal when one presents itself. I guess it is what it is.

                  The patch is completely justified. The only people who are complaining are the talentless hacks that continuously press the X button when they are on Defense. This actually forces people to play defense or risk fouling out.

                    Damn. My crib must be tapped by the NSA. Dude found out about my duct-tape-down-the-steal-button-cheese-glitch that I use. I've never gotten more than 3 fouls in any MyCAREER game. I've got about 13 steals through 50 games. Patch 1.02 has given me a foul on every steal attempt. Get off the horse bro. Everyone who presses the steal button is not a hack. In fact, when used properly, it's very effective. This is why I don't play online. Dudes thinking their way is the only way. Please... Sad thing is, us offline dudes probably got better game than any online scrub crying about the steal spam.

                        I absolutely hate when a guard stands at the top of the key dribbling with his right hand completely unprotected and I can press steal 10 times with my guy reaching nowhere even close to the hand the ball is in..

                        After about 10 steal attempts a foul is called.. I'm sorry but if a player is too stupid to keep the ball always from the defender it should be stolen.. Just fix it to where players protect the ball and create separation and you won't have the stupid reach in foul being called too often or not often enough..

                        Problem solved
                        Exactly! THe thing that irks me about the reach-in calls is that it's totally random. In real life if you touch only the ball you don't get called. You have complete control over WHERE you reach, and the more accessible the ball is, the easier it is to steal.

                        In the video game you don't control where or how the defender's steal is attempted, you are at the mercy of the game to decide whether or not you are "reaching in."

                        Neither option is very optimal, but I rather have the onus placed on the offensive player to not be a moron and stand there and allow the ball to be plucked away. Taking away a defensive option completely is definitely not my preferred choice.

                        And yeah I only play offline, but sliders can't be used in MyCareer mode.

                          people stopping me in the middle of my plays and making me take steps backwards by reaching was one of most annoying things in the game, thank goodness its gone!!

                              Because in real life the offensive player protects the ball... If constantly stealing was possible, people would do it. There's a reason it's not.

                                They need to fix the animations. In the NBA its rare you see a player stand and dribble the ball in a way that both feet and the ball are all in a straight line or directly in front of them. That should be punishable
