Turnover Issues

[baseballguy]

Has it been confirmed that there's a glitch with turnovers in the demo? More specifically, I'm talking about when slashing to the basket, and the defender puts a body on you, it seems like you always turn the ball over.

That's why you have the Right stick called Ankle Breaker 2.0...learn when and how to use it. No glitch....

I don't look at it as a glitch but, the animations for losing the ball are quite predictable and once you start the animation it's too late and there's nothing you can do about it. So like the poster above me said, avoid dribbling in to traffic. Also, try out the sliders, that might make it easier.

Re: Turnover Issues

What i'm saying is once u see the animation that the defender initiate the contact, stop pushing foward with the Left stick and press down, left, right, up on the right stick and ur player will make a counter dribble out of it. It's like manual dribbling because in real life when u drive straight into someone your gonna trip them or trip yourself if u dont change your moves.

Re: Turnover Issues

Yep the key is not to drive into traffic unless you know you are going to be able get something out of it.

I've had the out-of-bounds animation on the sidelines numerous times, and can't seem to pass out of it or anything. Very annoying.

Re: Turnover Issues

I noticed this, too, the first time I played it. I went to the Sliders and turned down CPU Steals. It hasn't been an issue since.

Re: Turnover Issues

About how much did you turn down the CPU Steal Slider?

Re: Turnover Issues

Has anyone been able to implement as many turnovers as the cpu has caused them within a game or do the turnover ratio seem really bias towards the opposition?

Looks like people need to get out of those bad VIDEOGAME BASKETBALL HABITS and start developing some SIMULATION BASKETBALL HABITS.

Re: Turnover Issues

good point dat swag and jano

I love the way the game when forcing the dribbling into the paint. Great work by EA. It looks like it will prevent people from pushing and pushing looking for an easy dunk.

Re: Turnover Issues

When the animation kicks in, you don't necessarily lose the ball. For instance, I've Kobe or Jameer Nelson escaping from these type of situations.

Calling it a glitch makes no sense at all. I think it is one of the better things happened to basketball games. Game forces you to play clever, force you to move the ball on offense, and most importantly it's kind of a risk reward situation when you strictly go to the hoop.

In real life, 20ppg+ players roughly average around 3TO's per game. So you can drop 30 with Kobe, but you gotta take the risk of turning the ball over numerous times.
