    1. anyone with the "poster" sig skill or whatever it's called, can run around for 21 seconds and run to the paint and dunk on ANYONE. doesn't matter if it's Tyson or freakin Dikembe Mutumbo.

    2. 1-3-1 zone.
    3. how you can put "scrapper" sig skill on ANY player no matter how bad they are and they will be playing lockdown D on lebron freakin james.
    4. everything about Blacktop.
    5. taking charges before the opposing player crosses the half court line.

    i could make a list numbered up to 100. the point is it's a VIDEO GAME. it's not made to be 100% realistic. there are people who buy this game that don't know a damn thing about basketball, they just play it to have fun. so they have to alter the gameplay to fit even the most casual gamers.

    there is a ton that could be fixed to make it "realistic", but they aren't going to ever do that. so stop freaking out about it. if you want **** to be so realistic go pick up a basketball and play a real game.
    This is the problem with not just NBA 2k games with most competitive games are ruined.

      I don't have that much of an issue with open shots besides how efficient mediocre shooters can be. A lot of players can shoot, but most dont get on the court b/c they can't shoot in game open shots.

      Defensive options half court press used with pressure shooters can be effective. As well as turning up your coach defensive pressure (this is very important)..b/c most shooters can't beat u off the dribble. There are things like stamina, consistency, game situation, earlier game performance, touches, etc. that aren't taken into account, also.

      I'm just trying to talk about gamer perspective. B/c gamers tend to think because a players is named Adrian Peterson he should rush for 100+. They don't take into account the play calling, the vision, etc.....People get caught up in reputation sometimes.

      If you remember Mo Williams in NBA Live 10, this is how u feel sometimes...even with good contest....and the player playiing wayyyy out of character....its still basket. This is just too easy sometimes. I'll never get mad @ players making open shots b/c of poor d.

        Just wish that 2KSports could find the median. Wide open shots not falling at a high rate was a bit of an issue with the last update, but I enjoyed that type of gameplay a lot more than what we have now.

        Do the avatars for all players online have anything to do with why we don't see anymore lobbies? Because thinking beyond the notion of just giving us two different slider sets for online play seems preposterous right now.

          It was good when it lasted now Black Top is a three point contest again. Had a guy just chucking up threes after we scored and making almost all of them with a hand in his face.

            I dont understand this 75+ ppg stuff. I see people with that average and higher all the time, and I routinely hold them to below 50. Hell, I think I've only given up more than 70 twice in 140 games or so. I don't understand how anyone scores that much, or how anyone gives up that much. I don't even bother to play zone. When you only give up an average of 43ppg, it seems unnecessary.

              its all about defense, rebounding, getting good shots and not turning the ball over


              u guys just dont get basketball

              I am 49-12 and I clearly understand basketball. I coach, played, watch it all the time, etc. This game online is nothing like real basketball and now with the 3 point back to the way it was...it just simply isn't fun. Bad players can now compete by jacking up 3's, regardless if I have a hand in their face. They may only shoot 30% from 3, but that will be all mainly contested shots and that is too high IMO.

                ugh...it was actually getting more competitive when the 3 point shot was nerfed in blacktop mode...

                I hate to see a regular online game where they will just sprint to the 3 point line and shoot...yay the chuck up and play is back....

                    And what about the other changes that are WORSE with the reset back to the old settings?!?!?!

                    Or do people even CARE...??

                    I guess for some people it's all about "I can sprint and DUNK...and chuck 35 3's!!!!! Yippeee!!!!"

                    This game has been dumbed down...and I don't like it.

                      Played my first online game with MyTeam and alls the other guy did was come down and chuck 3s! I hadnt been to the forums for the online play yet (just sliders and rosters for my offline ***), so didnt know this was an issue but by the end of the third I had to do the same to stay in the game. I mean i woudl litteraly block his 3, he would get the blocked shot in the same area and just chuck it up again and it would go in! Unbelievable. That said, I did win on a last second long 2.

                        Black top is different, seems more causal which mean contested shot fall in almost at the same rate as open ones.

                          So was this updated for the Christmas season and to cater to the casuals? Holidays are over 2k! Get some realism back to blacktop. Sick of these dudes just camping by the line cuz they know 3's are like FT's now. Fade away 3's going in should be the exception not the norm.

                            Wow. Now I know why I had both the best and worst experiences in blacktop within a week. I had a blacktop session right before Christmas with my buddy and it was actually fun with 3s not being overpowered. Threes would still go down but not at an absurdly high level where that became the main point of the mode.

                            Then last week we had another session and it was honestly the least fun we had in the mode since the game came out. My player is a center, so guarding players that are quicker than me is already putting me at a disadvantage, but i learned to deal with it by using the right stick to contest shots and anticipate any penetration into the paint. However, all I had to deal with were idiots who run back and forth outside the 3 point line until my center can't catch up and then shoot a 3. No screens, no nothing. Even when I got help they would still shoot a 3 and make it most of the time. Not to mention the contested 3 pointers off the dribble and overall dominance of the 3 in that mode. I mean, what's the point of passing it to the big man down low if the other team (and your own team for that matter) can just shoot a 3 every time down and score over half the time?

                            What irked me even more was the few times when right off the inbound, a particular player shot it off the check and made about 2/3 shots. Absolutely ridiculous considering that they moved the check point back just to combat that issue. That's when you know that something isn't right. Oh, and my center was rated around 60 at 3 pointers. I thought "what the hell" and started shooting them when games were out of hand. I made them at a 1/3 clip with bad releases half the time. Sorry about the rant, but something has to be done. It was so much better for that short period of time.

                              Ya, everyone is making 3s. 2K needs to make it more harder, it is becoming to easy for casual gamers
