    I thought zig zagging was fixed?

    I just lost 6,000 VC (2 games) because one guy zig zagged all game and hit threes every time. Due to his buffoonery, I wasn't able to stay completely in front of him, but I was close enough to get good shot defense from putting my hands up. I also never jumped so it's not like I was trying to recover from jumping and trying to come here to claim I played good defense.

    How did you lose VC? The stage?

    And they lied. Zig zag cheese is smellier than ever.

      Just played The Stage yesterday and lost my motivation after one minute 2 vs 2. Got the ball stealed first try in one millisecond, pass, three point made, next possession got the ball stealed first try in one millisecond, pass, three point made. It's like you play against aliens. What do these people do? Fiber optic cables plus 19 defense with a +5 boost and 19 shooting with a +5 boost or what is it?

          It's disappointing that all the anti-cheese and sim adjustments/settings year to year rarely work online. Not sure if it's by design or some other directive to keep the game "fun" for people who prefer something that doesn't actually resemble basketball. The problem is that it isn't fun for those who do.

            The added weight shift penalty on defense made it worse honestly ...

              I honestly don't think they can stop the zig zag because it is already hard to move on defense offline and online is like rollerblading. 2k will probably be dead online within the next couple of years because nothing will ever change. Not in the next patch or the one after that or the 2K16 title after the 4th patch on that. I honestly don't know why I still try to play this online.
              Playing NBA 2K feels like a job that pays minimum wage and then cuts your pay when you get your Bill's right to make it even harder to succeed. I do not like this game but it's the only one in town.

              At cheese, I'm trash. At basketball, I'm great!

                Can confirm the next patch will address this further.

                  Zig zag was introduced by the momentum aspect 2k introduced. There has always been some type of input lag in online games, albeit more so in this year's 2k15. But without the momentum, we will only have to worry about input lag, which in itself would eliminate zig zag. Since people have both, they can take advantage and that is why zig zag is so prominent in this year's game.

                      Does this patch fix online lag as well?

                        Nice! Really hopeful it addresses the remaining Swiss holes. Any chance behind the back dribbles got balanced?

                          That's good to hear.

                          However, if it doesn't "fix" the issues...is there any way 2K would consider completely removing TURBO from the game?

                          Maybe replacing it with a "burst" button instead?

                          The idea that someone can hold turbo all the way up and down the court is pretty arcade-ish and a little outdated...in my opinion. Just a thought...

                            ...

                            Sticky thread?

                            In other news. I was hoping someone made this thread because I was going to. Hopefully it's really fixed. As in stopped completey lol...

                            Needs to be impossible for the guy to make that shot like you guys said. That's total cheese man. Not even sure why not using the isostick lets you crossover that fast but please. The defensive sliding is horrible too, but one or the other has to be fixed.

                            Either better/elite rated defenders should be quicker or these guys just shouldn't be rewared for zig zaging. Their stamina should drain dramatically or something logical other than just "they'll get a smaller shooting window"...

                            If they zig zag back and forth for even one play, it should hurt their stamina for the next play. Should give them the Gatorade G for at least a couple possessions to create the same disadvantage that does if they make the 2 pointer. Especially seeing as how the game is only to 15 now so 7 zig zags and game over.

                            Don't even get me started on the 2 on 2. Still make it take it, when it should be shoot for possesion and at least make it take until a certain amount OR none at all the make the 2 on 2 REALLY COMPETITIVE.

                            Pretty please with sugar sprinkles on top?? Lol

                              I'm all for 2k removing TURBO all together and have it stick sensitive!
