Offball needs to actually have a consequence

I want the game mechanics to impact you in such a way that your ability to win by doing those things is lost. So yup. You don't lose anything by playing like a casual. Until all you get are casuals.

This. You can play how you want. Just don't try to say you're not being a scared child who's trying to win by taking advantage of a poor mechanic. If everyone played off ball why the fuxk would anyone want to play online?

And I've stopped that sprint iso strategy on ball. Not hard. Learn to move with your opponent diagonally. Just like real ball.


You're in a literal forum for this game dude. You're not some 7 year old who just got this game on ps+. Time to man up bezos....


Also dying about someone saying off ball takes more skill. Yeah that's why everyone does it on matchmaking hahahahaa

I played ball man all my life and through high school and stil do just a lot slower and my knees need ice forever after.

But that's just how I grew up. Someone beats me and they outsmarted my defensive movement. I guessed the wrong way or they deceived me. Why shouldn't an online basketball simulation the same way. As fun as playing ****ing find the off baller on the Xbox is and as easy as it is I'd prefer someone to have a pair of testicles and play on ball

As you can see, the people who care a lot about this issue come completely unglued and lose their **** when it is suggested that playing off the ball is fine. There really isn't any reconciliation for the competing ideologies.

Playing in modes or games that don't allow any CPU players would seem like the best for them because the developers are never going force people to play on-ball. What's funny is that even if they did have some sort of penalty(which they won't) people would still play off the ball anyway, so the people complaining might win even more easily, but they still wouldn't get what they really want in terms of forcing User vs User guarding onto others.

It's funny because I only play on ball, because it's more fun to me, and the mechanics of playing off ball aren't that good, IMO, but to think that playing off the ball is some kind of crime against humanity is quite hilarious.

The amount of love that you must not be getting and the lack of the ability to actual provide constructive debate to a conversation is severely lacking.

Guys, the tone of this thread needs to change - now. It's not optional.

So you think if a majority of people who play single game online are using off ball and it's usually the same ones sprinting straight with Westbrook aren't doing it because it's easier than on ball?

It's ironic though, the CPU has the defensive instincts of prime Scottie Pippen when it comes to defending you on-ball but when it comes to defending a fastbreak, proper rotations off the pick and roll, stealing passes, not biting for every pump fake, or picking up the nearest defender after a failed fastbreak the CPU is as clueless as can be.

Agree with this. Hope these issues are fixed in 2K17
