Offensive speed boost on loose balls ?

[Rockie_Fresh88]

Is this just a glitch in my game or are others experiencing this as well ?

It's almost comical. I don't even get mad anymore when I see it. I just laugh it off and remind myself I only have 6 more months to deal with this crap until 2K17 comes out.

EDIT: This is all assuming you can even tip the pass. 9 times out of 10 the ball just glitches through your body as if you're Casper the Friendly ghost.

A speed boost for the CPU on any loose ball actually. It's highly annoying because it almost regularly results in an easy bucket for them.

I saw it happen before as well, wasn't sure if the player I was using was just slow or what but if other people are seeing it, I guess there is something to it and it must be a glitch.

I find it funny though that when the a.i. wants to cheat the user, you see some of the weirdest animations that you didn't even know are in the game. It's like you hear users talk about how 2k has animations you can't break out of and a lack of control, but then you see the A.I., usually on higher difficulties seem to break animations and do things you didn't even know are programmed in the game.

I see this online. I see it happen to me and to other people as well. It is absolutely ridiculous.

I've learned to block it out. I'm with Hustle Westbrook, I just laugh out loud. Grabbing a loose ball or a defensive rebound sometimes is a chore.

You laugh to keep from crying is the term.

The computer has complete control, while the user constantly fighting with the game.

Yeah, If I tip a pass I usually don't bother going for it because the offense will most likely recover it and I'll just be out of position.

Yup. If there was complete collision detection, and 50/50 chance on the loose balls lowered skilled players would throw 20 TO's a game.

Has this been acknowledged from someone at 2k yet ?

Re: Offensive speed boost on loose balls ?

Since 2K14, I've noticed this. The CPU has a clear cut advantage when getting loose balls. When a player gets a physics hiccup and loses the ball off of a player, we get a heavily delayed animation preventing us from moving and picking up the ball. When the CPU gets the exact same scenario, they can literally hop out of the animation most times and launch into the ball. It's pretty annoying watching those situations play out, especially when you're using a fast PG against a slow Center

This happens often online. It's fact not fiction. 9 out of 10 loose balls go back to the offense. Like others, I've gotten use to it by now.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem

Theres speed boosts for chasedown blocks, passing lanes steal attempts, loose ball recovery by the offense and especially on cpu defensive recovery.
