The worst online game ever?

[trauma]

Is it even debatable?

- Wide open miss after wide open miss with good shooters

- Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol picking PGs on ball

- Having a PG on a PF in the low post and getting that pathetically stupid "contact layup" that misses 90% of the time

- Layups consistently missed simply because of the presence of the player

- Non stop blocks when driving

- Players do everything in their power to make an easy dunk/layup blocked (pulling the ball back with 3 people around)

- Being able to jack up 50 threes (yes, that's an actual number...not exaggerated) and making 25 of them, about 20 of which were contested and about 10 makes being contested while fading away

- LeBron and Wade being able to hit three after three after three

Just to name about 0.05% of the hilariously pathetic things wrong with the online experience. Anything worse? Because this makes Madden's online games look absolutely flawless.

Re: The worst online game ever?

Lol, I agree with most of what u wrote. I hate that when u have an WIDE OPEN lay up attempt all somebody have to do is run at u and it force's some type of double pump animation. Smh, they all reward the steal button pushers this year. TOO many reaches and not too many fouls called. I had Spencer hawes lol rip Darren collison off twice. He just ran up and just swiped the ball SMH

Re: The worst online game ever?

That's what I'm saying. I mean, I wouldn't post this if I was legitimately bad. If I have a wide open mid-range shot with Kevin Durant or Melo or Curry, I should be able to make it most of the time. It's unfortunate because I can do a nice crossover to a wide open 14 footer with Stephen Curry and miss while homie can pop a fading three with Jason Richardson as David Lee sits has a hand right in his face.

The layup BS is ridiculous though. Seeing a guy like Dwight Howard or Kevin Durant get lightly contacted and missing every layup. Or my personal favorite, James Harden completely flying over a helpless Dwight Howard as if he were Pau Gasol on D.

Shouldn't this post just be worst game ever? Not like 3pointers aren't easier to hit than close/mid range jumpers in offline mode.

10 + 20 = 25 hmmmmm

10 + 20 = 25 hmmmmm

it makes sense. 20 total makes were contested, 10 of which being contested fade aways.

Re: The worst online game ever?

a good way folks are cheesing now is to dribble in semi circles around the perimeter, they get a little breathing room and jack a three. Nick Young, Jameer Nelson, Jason Richardson, JR Smith, Melo, CP3and Durant are their weapons of choice.

Something is wrong when guys use the Magic (and they do a lot in my experience because of all the 3pt shooters) and they don't use Howard at all. It's because of what you describe- it is very hard to score inside.

Worst ever? I don't know. But pretty frustrating that's for sure.

You are crazy Durant rarely misses and run over people. Just slightly less powered than James. You are right over bigs doing nothing about the drives sometime but if Nate Robison is in the paint, watch out.

Durant is only good for driving. I have his stroke down perfectly and he can't hit wide open 10 footers.

1. Go play UFC Undisputed 3 for a few hours online. THAT is the worst online game ever.

2. Almost all of the things you're complaining about are a result of people like you complaining about certain things in past games. "Wah wah X aspect of the game is too hard, 2k sucks!" So 2k changes what people were complaining about, and then everyone goes "Wah wah X aspect of the game is too easy, 2k sucks!".

Online gamers and their constant complaining, instead of learning the game, getting better, and adapting, are the biggest reason games never have good gameplay. One year the game has X aspect right, but because it's not easy enough for some people and they get sick of losing to it online they complain about how it's "broke". So, developers change it and make it either worthless to use or make it too easy.

What! Durant players I play against don't miss and he is deadly from the 3pt line.

I own UFC 3 and while it's flawed in many ways, you actually need some skill to beat people. When I lose, I feel like I seriously got outmatched. You don't got something that equates to jacking up 50 three pointers where most of them are contested and winning because guys like Durant and Harden can't hit wide open mid range shots that were actually created by running plays/seeing mismatches.

Which part of my post has anything to do with the "hardness" of the game? If you believe centers with an F rating on perimeter defense picking a PG on ball 3 times in one game or missing wide open shots with perfect releases fine, that's you. If I can get myself an open shot with a great sure, I should be able to make it 8/10 times, not 3/10 times. If I have a 6'2 PG on my 6'9 PF I should be able to go straight up, not have that horrendous contact layup that misses practically every time. I shouldn't have guys like Harden and Westbrook flying over Dwight Howard who is made to look like Pau getting dunked on by Griffin. That's nothing to do with the game being hard or easy. That's just BASIC stuff that you think the idiots who made this game would realize have realized make absolutely no sense.

I honestly cant believe people complain at all about online gameplay after that junk

Re: The worst online game ever?

Dude if someone made 20 3 pointers on you, I think all of these complaints have got to be just your gameplay.

Except for the fact that all but around 5 of them were contested. Read, son, read.
