Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Way too much.
I used pickpocket, tony Parker does some fancy dribble moves and I press steal, ONCE, and it's a reach in call.

I used active hands, ginobily comes in for a layup, I press steal to strip the ball. Instant reach in call.

Double teaming, get to the position to tap the ball away. Reach in foul.

Same as fast breaking, come from behind to steal, the easiest steal possible, reach in foul.

Fouls too easy
Some sig skills basically useless.

Offensive rebounding, was it even touched? My first couple of games seemed fine, last 3 games were terrible.
9 offensive rebounds in 1 possession the spurs got against me.
My teams AI is too low, they still don't box out or get pushed out on the
rebound by a scrawny guard.

Hopefully was just them few games.

So, you're trying to rip the ball from one of the elite PGs in the game and you're surprised a foul is called?

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

They clearly need to fix reach in fouls. Everytime you press the steal button is gonna be foul even if you dont spam it. Just the first time you press it is gonna be a foul, and so on.
In my personal opinion they should be the same before the patch.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Tone it down a bit. keep it the way it is for online though. just tone it down for mycareer. but if u can't lower it just for mycareer only then I still say lower it

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I like it where it is at. Steal spamming has plagued the 2k series for TOO LONG.

That is why there are alot of complaints because for almost the entire 2k series you could reach-in freely with little to no consequences. Once players learn to adjust and STOP steal spamming, learn that reaching in is a RISK and learn to play defense with their good positioning and good anticipation the complaints about it will gradually calm down.

Alot of causal players and cheesers never learned how to play defense and only know how to steal spam. For the good of the game just leave the way it is.

Alot of good aspects have been taken out of 2k in its history simply because people dont want to adjust. For the good of the game dont change this.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Anything you can do about it for blacktop? I am tired of seeing defensive rebounds getting stolen 20% of the time.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

The bigger ? is y cant u LDK make a poll for Online Difficulty Rank games etc? It def should not be on pro/allstar and also on default. It should at least be on Superstar/Sim. Also what about the 3's? it needs to be toned down yet it still is at a crazy rate..

Reaching fouls are great right now for the spam stealers.. Is reaching fouls at a high rate now?? Yes it is.. But for Online it is great because every1 online all they do is spam steal.

If 2k lowers it then it shows they dont care at all.


Also when is 2k going to fix the euro 3pt step glitch??

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

i love it personally and i love that if you reach you will get called for a foul. but i think for the guys having issues with sig skills.... the sig skills dont necessarily guarantee you the steal you know that right? each skill has a set of rules and will activate for a specific situation.

for instance, i always use the pacers. granger sig skill is deadeye... the rules for deadeye are as follows "Late arriving defenders have less impact on this type of shooter than most. When we determine the final outcome of a shot, part of the calculation comes from how well a shooter is defended at both the start and release of the shot. When a Deadeye shoots and the defender is more heavily guarding the Deadeye when he releases the shot than when he started it, we reduce the impact of the release up to 100% depending on how heavily guarded he is at the beginning (the more heavily guarded, the more we reduce). A couple more things to keep in mind:
In order to ensure that closing out on a Deadeye matters, there must be some sort of defense applied at the start of the shot.
The shooter must not be smothered by the defender at both the start and release of the shot or the skill will not trigger." and i run set plays...

so if i run "fist" with george hill i know for a fact that if i penetrate after the screen set by hibbert and if the defender helps on the drive thats guarding danny granger he'll be open every time or if im playing against a zone and i force the zone to shift to the opposite baseline 3pt area where paul george... once the zone shifts or the defender helps ill have granger wide open right? so that means it should be money right? no...

i can run the play to perfection... and with grangers sig skill theres no guarantee he'll make it... but the sig skill ups my percentage of succession of the jumpshot. you guys should dive into the sig skills and ask yourself if your absolutely using it correctly.. i cant complain that danny granger doesnt make every shot that i set him up with... what i can do is adjust... i think these complaints of steals after patch are coming without guys changing their gameplay style.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I have to admit. I BEGGED for the patch and I know it sounds bad to go against what I begged for but the calls are a little too sensitive. In ALL modes too. Just played a MC game where my cpu controlled PG fouled out in the 3rd with me and another player in foul trouble by the time the game ended. I very rarely reach btw.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Whether it's My Career or a Quick Game, whenever I attempt a steal, regardless of whether or not the ball handler can actually handle the ball, it's a foul. However, the computer seems to be able to commit steals with little to no problem at all. I just played a game in My Career against the Raptors and Kyle Lowry was somehow able to rip the ball from me nearly every time I touched it. Yes, it needs to be lowered.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I think the increase was definitely warranted and has improved game-play immensely, as it forces players to focus on playing defense and allows for more plays to play out. However, I do think 2K went a little too far with it. It's pretty much a foul EVERY TIME I push the steal button, and even my CPU teammates get several reach in fouls called against them a game. If they toned it back slightly, BUT NOT TO THE POINT IT WAS, it would be great.

bruh you are not lying I played a online game not knowing about the new "reach and foul rule. I could not attempt to make a steat without it being a foul

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

But honestly I'm glad they realized that you could reach to much without their being a foul called becasue I used to hate whenever I grab a rebound with a big and as soon as he is down with the ball a guard had poked it lose. But this patch has made it so that if i attempt to steal the ball its a foul. And I know its bad becasue when someone "fouls" me becasue of reach I laugh because it is not a foul. 2k needs a patch for this in a hurry, becasue I'm tired of playing online games and people quitting in the 3rd quater becasue CP3 or melo, or Westbrook has fouled out of the game.
