    Online difficulty has been lowered

    It is no doubt in my mind that 2k has lowered the difficulty online. I purchased this game on the first day and out of the box online was a thing a beauty. If you defended well and you were upon shooters it was a great chance your defense paid off no matter who it was.

    I ran into multiple Knick users and they could do nothing with Melo or anyone else for that matter. Their was a fight in the paint. No longer could you just go back up after an offensive rebound with scrubs and get easy putbacks. If you played good defense and bodied them they would have a difficult time making those shots, especially non offensive oriented players.

    Now its back to 2k13 all over again. Users just jacking up 3's from anywhere no matter whos in their face and making them. Crazy shots in the paint falling that wasn't falling when the game came out. Game just looks and feels so unrealistic all over again. It's like a big joke. Some of the shots I see that go in I just shake my head. Fake is the best word I can come up with. No skill at all. Just seems percentage based because many of the shots are crazy low percentage shots.

    Not to mention the constant swiping at the ball with no penalty, along with still being able to recover at the same time and be in good defensive position. It's like swipe.....ok I didn't get it that time........swipe again...swipe. All awhile their swipes dictator how my offensive players moves.

    I gave it a shot cause they preached defense defense defense along with the difficulty being raised but I believe they cracked. I definitely have to see something within the next couple of weeks that's gonna really draw me to next-gen cause if it's the same engine ported over I just can't do it.

    But as of now I gotta throw in the towel on this current gen.

            I've been ultra competitive with my Sixers online. I haven't lost by more than 6 points or so with 2 losses at the horn. I've made a couple of guys rage quit (Blazers and the Warriors) with the GS game being played today.

              All I can say is find a sim league. Playing ranked matches will always be a joke on 2K.

                did they really raise the difficulty, or are people now just adjusted to the game.

                You said it was good on the first day, but now its not. Remember there was no demo and people had to get used to new controls.

                  I understand your frustration... Sometimes it seems like it's changed I have problems with the Knicks and twice B.Jennings has made 10threes on me. But all in all I think it's just people adjusting. Zone isn't as effective people are always going to swipe like crazy just try to take advantage of it.

                    Every single one of the games I've played were close so far online. I'm 3-0 right now and my largest victory was only by 7 points.

                        I see some of the most ridiculous go in at a high volume not that wasn't going in when the game first dropped.

                        Explain to me what exactly is considered a good shot and a bad shot in this game. Some of these shots I shake my head when they go in it's just unbelievable and looks real arcadish. These same shots would not fall in 2k11. That game implemented good shot to bad shot percentages better than 2k game that has dropped since.

                        Are shots percentage based no matter the shot TYPE, defense, or location on the court??? Not everybody can do a running hook but you have many non offensive oriented bigs making shots like that ala joel anthony and etc far too many times. Just looks bad and moreso like the user is getting help more than using stick skills. And I admit I'll put of bad shots time to time myself and I know shouldn't fall but they do and I just shake my head. Takes away from the competitiveness of the game.

                          Yeah I think cheesers have just adjusted to the game a bit. Instead of making all the stupid turnovers when it first came out, they figured out which cheese works and which doesnt. You can still ball out on them with real basketball though.
                          Lineup:
                          PG) Gary Payton
                          SG) '95-'96 Michael Jordan
                          SF) Sapphire Scottie Pippen
                          PF) '95-'96 Dennis Rodman
                          C) Hakeem Olajuwon

                            Regardless if the difficulty changed or not. 3pt CHEESE is still alive and well online and it gets ridiculous cause it keeps people in the game when they shouldn't be. Shooting fouls in the paint is pretty silly too, you breath on someone trying to force it into the paint for a layup and its a foul.

                              Thats what im saying. Its playing like 2k13 with updated defense and a lot of swiping for steals with no fouls being called.

                              Either they lowered the difficulty or messed with some sliders cause I got the game at midnight release and some of these same shots that im making now and my opponent's are making didn't fall when the game first released I can promise you that. People couldn't just come down and stop and shoot 3's. They really had to pass the ball around and try to get a good shot.

                              It was difficult to make layups in the paint when the defense was present, now it doesn't matter just like in 2k13. I know when I go back up for a putback or layup its going in. I wasnt able to tell whether it was going in or not when the game first came out.

                              Anyone saying they're not seeing ridiculous shots go in now just doesn't want to admit it.
