For the record I've changed my stance. There isn't really much else to say other than that I was wrong, and that stealing still works fine, you just have to not be stupid about it. I've adapted and I can't even remember the last reach-in called against me. It definitely takes some getting used to, but I think now that what 2K did was the right move.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
2k tweaked the reach-in's. I played 4 online games yesterday and dudes were reaching all game with no calls. IN ALL 4 GAMES!!!! There were no calls even after rebounds.
Off topic: They also tweaked 3 pointers. They don't go in as frequently. So basically I played 4 players online who sat in a 1-3-1 zone that was able to reach all game with no call. And I wasn't able to consistently make a 3 with great 3 point shooters wide open and perfect release. I lost 2 games and won 2, but it was hard because noobs where reaching all game without being punished.Comment

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
Omg the reach ins are sooo annoying. I play my career on hall of fame simulation and idk if it has anything to do with the level but the CPU has a very HIGH tendency of reaching in, and ever since the patch it results in fouls, so both teams are usually in the bonus every quarter. I have no problem with reaching in resulting as a foul but the fact that they tend to reach in so much is just frustrating.GT: assassinK24Comment

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
I've interrupted My career for a month, waiting for another patch. I tried again yesterday, but it's very annoying. I'm scared to push the Steal button. I've increased to the top level the ability of My Player in steals, and I'm considering to change the signature skill, because it's unusable.
Hope it'll be fixed soon.Comment

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
DEAR LD2K !!!!
PICK POCKET SIGNATURE SKILL IS NOW USELESS! this patch made things worse, I actually play D and when guarding a player who can't dribble. I usually steal with X ( I play on xbox360) but now that this patch is out I see nearly 1 - 3 strips per WEEEK! as in real life weeks not 2K weeks. like thats BS! so far just 2 this week. I hate that fouls are being constantly called for reaching, I understand that about the game but in real life they aren't called that often..they should just do hit detection with the ball. and stop going for the harder way of forcing your opponent to play good Defense considering this patch ALSO made it so if you do a particular move where you kinda fumble the ball between your legs you slide in front the defender (USUALLY THE CPU DOES THIS!!!! mind you). Smh, steals we're fine before, maybe a bit less with pickpocket which I said before... but fouls are called too much now. I don't care what everyone else is saying. I played real life basketball before and never had a reach called on me. I don't reach often but when I Do I usually hit ball. same in 2k, i'm starting to hate it. I get SO frustrated when they call a foul after one reachComment

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
no im not and no it hasnt been tweaked.
im suprised this thread is even still going.
anyone who is still pissed about the online whiners ruining mycarreer games just simply make your mycareer offline (after getting a heap of vc) delete the extra content and nba2k13 file from your ps3 and play the way it was on the release date.
i have and even made 7 new myplayers with it, so much better than the unrealistic reach in debarkle we have post patch and its even more responsive offline.
the only drama is the stats showing up over gameplay and occasional overpowered offensive rebounds.
i can live with that over not being able to use my sig skills, not being able to steal the ball while the dribbler is standing there for 24 seconds doing nothing and the game responding 2 secs after i press a button.
and have you all noticed as well, reguarding stealers, youre either a noob, un-user or a spammer.
there is no inbetween which most of us are, hell, i dont even think there would be spammers/cheesers in the forums.
in conclusion, if you want a game that has everything nerfed/removed except the players and the ball, play online post patch.
if you want a game thats FAR better responsively and plays closer to real, delete the additional data and play offline.We live in a world with smart phones and stupid peopleComment

I've seen both sides. But I think it's better than watching someone reach every 3- 5 seconds. It's not realistic to me.
My brothers have complained but they have learned not press it like crazy. Steals are actually worked for.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
You know, I've been playing my brother head to head this past week and the steal alteration has felt pretty darn good in that manner of play. Whereas in one player mode it had felt way oversensitive for a while (before subsiding a little), it felt on the mark in our matchups. He's usually made a habit of mindlessly reaching all the time, hoping to luck into a reward, and he's still been doing that but now I'm going to the line for it. Nice payoff.Comment

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
Yeah man I'm loving this change more and more. Totally agree with it and support it.
My only qualm has been brought up already, but I think it's really worth noting: The AI doesn't seem to be aware of the increased sensitivity. It's too easy to lure the CPU into reaching in (and my CPU teammates do it also), and the total number of fouls per game are inflated as a result.
If they could just reduce the number of steal attempts by a CPU-controlled player, I think this aspect of the game would be perfect.Comment

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate
Eve now that I've actually tried the patch now since I'm an offline user, it is making me very angry that there is absolutely no reaching ability because every single one is a foul... Real talk next patch seriously needs it tuned down
Sorry for the bump.Comment
