I made a video documentation some of 2K14's rebounding issues for taller centers.

There is another line of thought that Trail Blazer fans clashed on. Based on advanced stats Lopez was a good rebounder. His team outrebounded the opponent while he was on the court.

I'm a realist and while I know they needed a 'real' center I prefer actual stats to advanced "I box out stats". So I wasnt as big on Lopez though I knew Aldrdige would make him a better rebounder because Aldridge boxes out but I was not banking on osmosis rebounds. I'm happy to say I was right and wrong. He is a better rebounder with Aldridge and the team is a better rebounding team with him on the floor.

So I am now all in favor of using advanced rebound stats and adding a boxout sig skill.

Nothing on HOF can be taken seriously.

I don't know why people insist on playing on a mode that artificially boosts the CPU massively then complain about the results.

That said sometimes rebounding is whack and your players can't find or grab the ball that's in front of them. It's like they get an artificial shot of dumb and expect you to make up for it.

Totally agree with this. Box out needs to be separated from effort in the tenacious rebounder sig skill. That way we can properly rate players like David Lee who hustle for boards but hardly ever box out.

Yeah HOF on 2k just never made sense to me and why people bothered with it then complained about cheesing by the CPU...well they have 10+ everything basically

Anyway like you said sometimes the rebounding is off but what people complained about is not being able to grab a lot of boards on a 7 footer when they can

Haha. Can we drop the Hall of Fame sliders point? I've already shown that the same effects apply to Superstar sliders.

If you can grab 10+ "easily", why are there so many people around 2K14 forums around the Internet complaining that they run into the exact same rebounding issues? When you pair the fact that it has become a common albeit subsidiary complaint throughout the fanbase with the fact that I have provided video evidence that there are multiple occasions in which rebounds are missed despite any semblance of poor timing or positioning, it's frankly a little immature or even stubborn to maintain the explanation of "everyone just sucks and they need to stop crying and get better."

What's more is that I can reproduce this evidence, it isn't isolated to simply one occasion. The MyCareer games in my videos were one after the other, and I have 100% confidence that I can play the next game, and the next, and the next with whatever combination of sliders that are recommended in order to present similar videos showing the same degree of flaws.

And you're absolutely right, 2K isn't perfect and should not expected to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination; however, my complaint and the complaint of many who share the same opinion that I do, is that as far as these particular issues are concerned, 2K does not even meet bare minimum standards. I don't want to be a rebound/ball magnet, as that would be unrealistic. I do, however, think that when issues get as stupidly bad as evidence clearly displays, that they are flaws and should be corrected. Especially when the flaws are not a rarity isolated to myself.

When I play with or against the Pacers, David West gets 10+ boards while Hibbert frequently gets something like two. He's often in great position but does some stupid animation of catching the ball near the ground and gets beat because of that. This issue has existed previously. I remember passing on guys like Tyson Chandler and Hibbert when playing a fantasy draft OA because I knew they wouldn't be getting any boards.

I should probably make a video too.

Just went on HOF i had a 10 , 12 , 9 rebound game with a 7'2 no problems...im pretty sure if you guys would actually focus and quit thinking you should grab everything but you're maxed out and bought all these sigs you would do the same.

Video evidence? Or at least a box score?
