Maximum jumping height, and jumping speed need to change

Czar's taking questions for upcoming sim nation shows where they will be discussing 2K mechanics. We should tweet him about this issue to get his thoughts.

Its unrealistic too when defenders are jumping the millisecond you leave your feet for the layup, the reaction times are insane.

The cpu defenders jump as you gather and get off the floor before you can go up for the layup. Additionally, the same thing happens on passes. Cpu is reading that controller input.

If only 2K could program defenders to react to actual game movements and not controller movements.

Zydrunas came dangerously close to smacking his head on the basket support beam in my last game.

Before we get all uppity about the animations you should realize that Kevin Love has a 70 Vertical rating.

Athleticism ratings go years and years without getting updated by 2K, so if you're wondering why Kevin Love is jumping like he's a young man, it's because his rating reflects what he had as a 20-year old in 2009.

Kevin Love's Max Vert at the Draft Combine was 35. By 2K's scale, that converts to a 70. 2K implemented Combine data not too long after Mike Stauffer took the 2K job. Clearly the implementation was flawed because all they did was plug and play, rather than follow-up with a case-by-case evaluation.

In 2016 Love did not deserve the Vertical rating earned by his teenage self. At 29-years old, he obviously doesn't deserve it now.

IIRC the only effect Vertical has on Dunking is ability to "Poster" a defender. The lower the rating the more likely they are to miss the dunk attempt.
