I understand 2K is trying to get you to feel more immersed in the game by adding these celebratory animations after big buckets and what not but after a while they just become annoying and can cost you games. I was down 4 way late in a game against the CPU and had just gotten a quick dunk with Towns and was playing full court press to try and get a steal. Towns decided to spend 2 entire seconds flexing his muscles for the camera while I desperately tried to get him to defend the inbounder. The CPU quickly inbounded the ball and ran the clock out. Would I have gotten the steal? Probably not, but I didn't even get the chance to since my player was stuck in a programmed animation that I couldn't stop. They should give us the option to at least break out of them immediately or disable them completely.

Re: Celebration Animations
You need to be able to break out of any and every real time celebration.
Some of these happen in the most crucial moments of the game. You hit a big basket and you cant get back on defense because you're celebrating.Comment

he said "Towns decided to spend 2 entire seconds flexing his muscles for the camera", that's the "cut after basket"...Comment

Re: Celebration Animations
For the most part since I play offline these things dont bother me too much except for end of the game etc but there is one thing that bothers me.
When a player runs into the crowd they take their sweet time getting up then shake their hands and just chill for a bit. Thats very nice of them but when its the last minute of a game or an important point of the game wait till there is a stoppage in play its not realistic at all to have my star player chilling in the crowd while the offense waits for him to get past half court."Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion!"

When he was doing the flexing animation the camera had already switched to the default view (in my case 2K cam), He just stood by the baseline flexing"If you ain't dead, you're alive" - Javale McGeeComment

Re: Celebration Animations
Can anyone show me an video example of what we are talking about? Because I thought they changed it after last years problems. You could break out of celebration animations. Last year for 2k16 it was realllllly bad. But I trutly haven't felt that off or online.Hands Down....Man Down - 2k9 memories

Re: Celebration Animations
I dont have video evidence unfortunately but I know what he is talking about at least for offline. Harden for me will do his cooking animation in the default view and he is just kind of aimlessly walking back on defense. Sometimes you can cancel it other times you cant."Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion!"

I'm not sure what Paul George is doing here. Fixing his tights? Stuffing his virtual shoelace back into his shoes? Seriously 2K?

People have been begging for this stuff to be removed from the game for years. I don't know one person that actually likes these animations.Comment

Re: Celebration Animations
Well, the animation itself isn't the problem in my opinion. The problem is the situation and time it is happening. Stuff like that should only play out on a real dead ball not on a regular inbound after a basket.Comment

I still don't think that's as bad as when I got a last second steal with Curry, had a wide open layup, and he goes into this extremely long layup animation rather than trying to get it out of his hand quick and didn't get the shot off in time. I've always thought 2K had too many animations that were over exaggerated and actually make the gameplay feel like realistic.
