What team do you feel 2K Can't Represent Well

[JJJones135]

What team do you think 2k can't accurately represent? I am tired of playing with teams on 2k or even playing against them and they don't play like they feel in real life. I've used really good sliders and rosters but I still can't get close to the real thing for example and the biggest one.


Memphis Grizzlies: zach Randolph never plays clutch like he does in real life he's not a banging force down low like he usually is. That team doesn't feel like a defensive monster like it is in real life. I love watching them play and I appreciate this type of basketball but I can't in the nba.

San Antonio Spurs: I never get the clutch Duncan who makes his simple medium range jumpers. Manu never gets hot like he does in real life. I just don't get the veteran feel where experience matters idk maybe a roster can't do that.

your problems have more to do with the ratings/sig skills themselves not gameplay

I don't think it is just teams but certain game mechanics are not represented well. Some players don't have sig shots, layups, hooks, dribbling etc. This takes away from some of the realism

• Physical play defense in the paint doesn't exist. Memphis is a team that plays a little more physical than most and not having that takes a little from Zbo
• Up and under moves do not initiate contact like they should and most of the players performing the moves can't perform them that well in real life. Example Denver's best post player according to George Karl is Andre Miller. Most of the teams in the NBA don't or can't even dump the ball in the post because they don't have a post scorer.
• Way too easy to initate a dunk animation over multiple defenders even without gaining a running start. Mostly a physics thing or contact problem, or rating related issue. Example Dwight Howard will sometimes force your defender to slide out of the way to let his dunk animation work.
• Momentum/physics impact everything but a certain few things just bug me when playing the computer. The CPU plays the pick/roll/pop too perfectly too often. They are sliding around picks too well and it is like the pick game is a scripted sequence. What I notice watching basketball is a team like San Antoinio with Parker and Duncan use the pick so well that the defense more than likely packs the paint to stop Parker's penetration and Duncan is open for a jumper. It is the same with Rondo and KG. Rondo would get KG so many open jumpers from the pick because he draws the defense.
• Momentum/Physics: The reaction time and contest speed needs to be lowered for contesting shots from a stand still. There is no foot planting

I find most teams to be accurate !

Re: What team do you feel 2K Can't Represent Well

Bulls , Grizzlies, and pacers

These would def be my top 3. It's like they never stress the importance of defense

The way the Miami Heat plays a team defense isn't represented well

I don't think it's the Miami heat defense they don't represent I think it's Lebron James's defense. Don't get me wrong Shane Battier is a defensive monster himself but I think Lebron just needs to be better equipped with some sig skills or ratings on defense in the game.

Yeah. Their Pick and roll defense is Top notch. Crazy how good they are at it

The T'Wolves are like probably overpowered. Roy an 80 rating??! They always finish 2-5 seed in association.

The Celtics have a lot of flaws in 2K, may be a bit biased due to the fact that I am a Celtics fan.

nah,

its 2k's lack of "team" concept. its all about the individual in 2k

In MyCareer, on HOF, any player that can shoot 3's even at a 70 rating kills my team. JR Smith scored 72 points... 15-19 3pt. I think that says enough. Klay Thompson and Steph Curry always score 40 against me every time I play, even on simulation sliders.
