Let's talk about rebounding in 2K16

[EarvGotti]

This is one aspect of the game that 2K seems to overlook year after year. Here's what I see in the rebounding system as it stands:

Athleticism and vertical matters the most. Height comes 2nd. And good positioning skills, body control and hustle/nose for the ball(ratings) barely matters at all.

Blake Griffin seems to always outrebound guys like Zach Randolph. When in real life we all saw how Zbo dominated that matchup in the playoffs in recent years. Boxing out is not as effective as it should be and the box out battle needs to be improved.

Dennis Rodman is pretty much useless in 2K. He has all the intangibles for great rebounding but the problem is 2K doesn't factor in the intangibles.

I think the priority factor should be: Rebound ratings->Height->Athleticism & Vert.

Thoughts?

Yeah the rebound stat doesn't matter. With your MyPlayer you can grab 20+ rebounds easily without increasing a single rebound stat.

On the PS3 version of 2K14, I was grabbing 14-16 boards a game in MyCareer with near-maxed Rebounding attributes. Still a lot, but quite realistic.

PS4 2K15? I'm averaging THIRTY. One game, I got FORTY-EIGHT.

How did this happen?

Oh, when player-locking Nikola Vucevic, I was still pulling down at least 20 a game.

Oh, and that 48-rebound game? That was with NOTHING put into the Rebounding attributes. None.

The cpu needs a upgrade in boxing out. Sometimes atheletic wings can just crash the boards and out rebound the center.

Rebounding stats should also matter more over atheletic and vertical ratings. Guys like Rodman and Reggie Evans should be able to get you more rebounds than what they currently get in 2k15

Rebounding is just like defense. It's all about positioning in 2k. Doesn't matter how low your rebounding attributes are. I'd like to see that changed and for the attributes to matter.

the boxing out and rebounding system needs to be more fluid.

- you should be able to move as you box out and if you're too slow a quicker, Rodman-type could outwork you to the ball.

- the floating to the ball should be removed i feel like this aspect was dont better on 2k13/14 ps3.

- certain player should have the ability (badge) to be able to jump quickly a second time to battle for the boards.
