Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I love it. I only reach when I play with someone who has pickpocket anyway. Keep it. Just needs to be implemented into Blacktop. So if they do change it, make it for Blacktop.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

You said "We know what you want,you want it all and we are going to give it to you." in the tv spot, i call b.s! It only takes 3 swips to get called for a foul and anything after that is way to hard to get away with. When i play i like to feel i can do anything and get away with it, if i wanna get 10 steals in a game so be it! what harm does it do,its called escapism. If i wanna play with "realistic" setting then i will put it on hall of fame mode, or play like a beast and kill it ever game i will go pro., it should be up to me and not you. I hope nbalive comes back soon to give us gamers more options and you competition. You did better with a rival... and get over yourself 2k its just a Game JUST LET US PLAY!

Realistic steals and fouls are what I wanted. 2K gave it to me.

Posts like this just scream for the need to split online into Arcade and Sim lobbies. They can give the Arcade guys steal spamming and 360 dunks all game and won't have to be afraid of making the game too difficult for casuals by amping up the realism in every facet of the game instead of compromising.

Sim should have guys with Pickpocket and 95 steal averaging only 2.5 steals in a 48 minute game.

Arcade can play like NBA Jam. Or at least play a bit more loose with the realism.

The poll being this close suggests this might be a good idea. Then again, the ones voting "No" might still want a fair amount of realism, just not for it to be quite as punishing.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

i dont really play online this year but as far as hof default or sim its a one reach foul call even if u just give a basic lil swing at the ball so i would say you guys went a lil to far. but if you guys could separate the offline adjustments and the online adjustment separated there will never be so much disagreement on gameplay issues do to the diffculty being different online to what people use to playing offline because the balance will never pan out right most of the time.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

MyCareer mode reach-in fouls are all that needs to be changed, they're fine in quick match and online.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I'm noticing that a number of people who are seeing too many fouls mentioned they are playing on HOF. I play superstar/sim for myplayer and all-star with adjusted sliders (reach in penalty slider at 80) for offline association and I don't have a problem with how it is now. I'm guess reach ins happen more on HOF, so if those of you who play HOF really feel you can't move down a level because it's too easy, I can see your frustration.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I'm talking about MyCareer where there are no sliders! 2K SUCKS! I miss NBA LIVE where everything is perfect!

Let's be reasonable here...

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

They don't call reach in fouls on the perimeter because players don't REACH in real life like these sorry kids that play this game.. I use to play organized ball and coaching basketball 101 is "Play defense with you feet , Not with your hands". I seriously believe a lot of people that play this game have never played real ball in there lives to even complain about reach in fouls. #Sadness.

Truth. The fact that the real ballers are winning the poll by a small margin scares me. Don't change it. And it should stay this way EVERY year. You know 2K you could just make 2 online lobbies available for casual/simulation players. Stop making things so difficult and just give us options.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

For those of u that play on HOF u are never going to get the game to play the way u feel it should play. HOF means u have to play just like they do IRL where u rarely go for on the ball steals, that also means your window for getting these steals are even smaller. I can beat the computer on HOF but u have to play legitimate D and steals aren't going to happen regularly. That's why I now play on SS with MK'S sliders and I can get steals at a realistic rate cause u have a little bit bigger window to go for the steal. If u can play good on ball D u can get your steals!!!

Reach in fouls rate is perfect.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Everyone can adjust the slider in order to tone it down if needed. I don't see any reason to complain of the reach-in-foul rate pre- or post-patch...

MYCAREER PLAYERS CAN'T CHANGE A SINGLE THING

Noobs on these forums, seriously.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

I play HOF Online, and the post patch steals are fine. I still get more than enough steals, and there is no reason to change it back. I didn't have a problem with steals before the patch, because I always protect the ball when I dribble. However, I am always an advocate of more fouls being called in 2k. It slows the game down and makes it more strategic. I hate seeing people fly around the court to block, contest, and swipe every play down. I would even say bump up fouls on jump shooters to match the fouls for steal attempts. Good job 2k.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Even before the patch i hardly went for on ball steals. Its allows the game to play more realistic with both sides being able to run plays and have skill actually determine the outcome.

Some people like to play nba 2k games like its a fighting game just repeatedely hitting the steal button, or using the steal button often and were spoiled by being rewarded for that nonsense. Im glad things have been changed and like it the way it is now.

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

It needs to be tuned for the CPU. I play offline and a majority of the calls by the CPU are Reach Ins. Nikola Vuceciv reaching in on D-Will, serious?

The tendency sliders for the CPU on Simulation is at 40 Go For On Ball Steals. Might need to be lowered to 5 (NBA 2K11/2K12 esque)

Re: Poll: Reach in fouls rate

Let me guess, the kids are whining about not being able to play "defense"?

I played one game online and this guy had 5 fouls in the first quarter with Tyson Chandler because his idea of defense was spamming the steal button.

I like where it's at. People will adjust.
