Offball needs to actually have a consequence

I find the animation takes over because you have an open lane to the basket but for some reason your player SLOWS down allowing the off ball player to make the block or get a bump animation causing no foul but a miss layup or bucket. 2K17 needs to make some changes going forward with playing off ball because there's a lot of non calls like def 3 in the key.

Best way to beat offball is to know your plays.

Most of the time when i play an off baller i just go 4 out 1 in, call iso, put my back into the defender about 20 feet out and abuse the hell out of the post drive. Works almost every time. I have zero respect for someone who off balls me all game and will treat them accordingly.

To be clear, i don't mind people switching when necessary to make up for the poor ai. I'll usually do it myself once people abuse something over and over, mostly just the PnR.

There are the few who are playing legit defense rotating players and defending off screens, fighting for post position, etc then there are the majority who just hide in the corner avoiding actually playing the game.

On Xbox some are so good at hiding off ball you don't even know who they're controlling since they don't have their gamertags under their players on defense.

I still have no idea why that feature is never on the Xbox consoles.

I turn off all indicators when i play. So i never know if anyone is on or off ball. Its easier to play offense and enjoy the game without that distraction.

I'm going to post video of an offball game I had last night. And your going to see how quickly the game turned once I kept scoring on him. And got out to a big lead.

If there was a way for them to separate the game mechanics of offline/online then yeah this would be fine but as it stands right now the only "consequence" for off ball needs to be if the defender sucks or you catch him out of position he gets worked. That's it.

In MC and my player locked ML, I get tired of watch good defenders on my team get burned on crappy shots by bad shooters because I'm not the one contesting them.

Have you guys played road to the playoffs or a kid who only uses off ball a whole game. It's obnoxious...... And you can say it's not meant for the whole game all you want but that is ALL kids are doing and it's just ****ing boring. I know how to make my guy manually cut and I know which plays kill off ball and I've beaten seed 1 gotten to greatest of all time but I play this game to have fun... Having to figure out which player he's off balling with and making them cut or calling plays to that person just isn't fun.... There needs to be a steeper penalty for long term off ball. It's absolute garbage.
