The "Y" (or triangle) button on defense...

Yeah I figured that. But I wish I could make the offense pay for reckless passes a bit more . A lot of friends paint pass all game and the big men catch it every time . Unless I'm in a zone

I can understand that mechanic. This year it seems to be happening even if the offensive player is at least two steps away…and it also happens on jump shot’s

Haven't experienced this on jumpshots yet then again I only use hands up on the perimeter .

I can also confirm that I've had this happen before. It was offline and I've seen it a few times. Seems to always be with driving to the hoop animations when I'm the defender.

Not to get too far off subject but they neutered one of the best shot blocking systems I've seen in a basketball game...

It had its flaws but man was help defense fun last year...

I also have this issue. I been playing 2k basketball since 2k10 and I think this year more then the previous 4 has the most delay with the Y button. I actually wouldn't even call it a delay. It's more of a no response. So many times a smaller PG or SG will take the ball right in the paint and my small forward will be unable to contest the shot at all due to no response from the Y button.

Happens to me everytime the animation starts. I thought I was going crazy but it happens way to often. Cost me a couple games.

Definitely had this issue. Feels like I'm wearing cement shoes.
