Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

[Jesus]

See I think the problem is the word "bumping"...what we are all are looking for in actuality is appropriate contact.

There needs to be just as many variations of defender/ballhandler collisions as there is crossovers, spins and layups. Now I know this may be asking a lot considering the number of animations in the game, but I believe with animation blending, the minds at visual concepts can create a short cut.

That is a huge undertaking, so in the mean time, I would just take more hip-riding animations (the patch made a couple more prevelant) and more 2-player animations (collision and evasive) in the paint. Also, they HAVE to implement the collision part of the canned hopstep and spin animations from last year.

As of now, you can hop into a crowd like last year, but worse. Why? Because in 2k12 there is no contact and your defenders are more likely to jump on their own taking them out of position and creating oppurtunities to draw fouls

maybe a little OT....
I'm on PC (NBA 2k12) so unfortunately I have to wait for the PC patch.

I've both 2K11 and 2K12 installed on my home PC.
I still enjoy 2k11 (post patch) more for few reason:

1) Passing game in 2k11 is almoust perfect while in 2k12 is too slow
2) Physical plays / Contact animation in 2k11 are nicely done
3) Double teams / defense play really a challenging game in 2k11

Does the 1.04 patch make 2k12 a better game than 2k11 post patch??
Thanks in advance for response

2k developers always give the people what they want.
Last year there was so much complaining about the suffocating defense/bumping / having to pick up your dribble, etc ..so much so that they toned it down to much this year.
blame the gamers not the developers. Im sure next year there will be a proper balance, maybe a new slider for this exact thing.
love 2k12 more than 2k11, but I do miss the defense in2k11. tried going back to 2k11 and really couldnt get into it.
regardless, 2k12 is so fluid this year, compared to last

sad think is you are correct about the cry babies but now its auto layups without contact in the paint 90% of the especially with star players

This is the first time in years where no matter what defense you play the offense player can just turbo though you with 0 contact and hit a layup . Online has failed me this year

It was much easier to score in the paint in last year's game compared to this year...

Also, I wish people wouldn't give Boston so much credit. They're a dirty basketball team. Their entire "defense" is borderline illegal by NBA rules but they do it so often that it just never gets called or else their entire team would foul out by the 3rd quarter.

if you talking about offline then yes but online it was hard which is why people had to hopstep all game to get their points in the paint. Play the heat online and watch lebron and wade just score off layups with 0 contact or a highlight reel dunk on 3 defenders. I played 2k11 for over 100 hours and the defense was 100X better. Simplified shooting + lack of contact on perimeter and paint = easy scoring with star player regardless if you know how to use him or not

boston?

also gotta add if you double team a center with low dribble/hands ratings while in the post, he can split the dblteam like a guard SMH
