WOW....................... I just went and bought a PS4 and of course I grab 2k knowing the CPU should play a lil better than they did on last gen systems........................ Hell Naw, I cant believe that this issue carried over to the brand new systems. For 3 of the last 5 years I have posted about this issue to no avail (it was finally right in 2k13, and it was good in 2k11 also) and I think its something that NEEDS attention from more OS members.
Dont get me wrong, I think for the last 2 years the CPU has played amazing as far as scoring realistically, (the way they attack off the dribble, the way bigs play in the post, the ball movement, ect). So I think its just flat out lazy for 2k to ignore the fact that the CPU NEVER just pulls up to take a contested jumper (ya know, since this is something that EVERY great perimeter player does very often). Playing against MJ is not fun, playing against Melo is not fun, playing against Durant is not fun, why??????????? Cause its hard coded in this game for the CPU to NEVER even consider taking a jumper if a defender is close to them, not even from the triple threat after a jab step which happens at least 15 times in every game every night. It forces everybody to try to muscle to the basket on some Lebron type ****. The CPU will just keep running into the defender until they have a lane insted of using the created space for a jumper.
How the hell did this carry over to next gen??????? Especially since there has been patches since release. Do the devs even play the game at all??????? Did they just not ever see anyone mention this issue???????? Or did they notice it, but not think it was important enough to change????????? I mean, this has been going on for years on and off........ How can you be a basketball fan who is a developer for the GOAT sports franchise and not care if the best players in the world actually plays to their stregnths?????????
Crazy part is, I know the cycle will repeat itself. They will probably get it right next year then completely forget about it as always. Why 2k, why do us offline players like that?????
