Re: Loose balls always favor the offense.

its not 100% but definitely too much for my liking. These should be recovered less by offensive players to reward good defensive play.

Re: Loose balls always favor the offense.

I dont think the actual design is for the ball to be recovered by the offense the majority of the time..

The physics of the ball are off when it comes to it being tipped though, almost like a baloon instead of a basketball. You tip a thrown ball and it floats right back in front of you about 85% of the time.

In reality it could spin in a variety of directions

My reaction rating is at 90 right now and I find I get more of those loose balls than I ever did before in my career.

if it's my career I suggest doing the reaction time drill to improve your rating and it also greatly helps in park as well.

I'm guessing you play on a lower difficulty, because the reaction time attribute (I have 99) does absolutely nothing when zac randolph is already diving across the floor for a ball that isn't really loose yet. It doesn't help that you can tap the ball loose and the court can turn into an air hockey table as the ball zips away at impossible speed.

Re: Loose balls always favor the offense.

It definitely seems to favor players on offense.



I see this happen online too but offline against the CPU is 10x worse.

Happens in park way too often too.

Offensive boards and loose balls always miraculously bounce towards the offense like a magnet.

Happens so much I'm convinced it's not random.

Re: Loose balls always favor the offense.

I play offline, and it favours the CPU 90% of the time.

I think the animations for getting loose balls need to be updated, they've been the same for about 5 years. At the moment its spam the X button and hope he times his full length dive perfectly.
