It's better than players suctioning into defenders and not being able to get off.

not valid comment. THe lack of physial play allows for people to score to easy on offense especially in paint off of post moves. I would rather have defense than streetball . nba scrimages are the non physical , show boat games not the regular season games. When you can easily score from layups in crowded paint without being touched there is a problem. All that complaining about to much contact is because people prefer to go star player 1 on 1 isolation instead of team ball. Watch the knicks game and put in 2k11 and see how similar they are. Now go put in 2k12 and score 80 point with one player online or watch durant dunk over gasol, bynum, kobe, and artest with ease.

If you dont like a challenge thats your problem but the sim nation is supposed to want it as realistic as possible , I am watching mello right now and he is getting bumped offball and on ball by defenders but his skill gets him a high % shot.

Watching the knicks /celtics game i am noticing alot of physical play by starters and rookies. Mello doesnt have the freedom to run to a open spot onf the court for a easy jumper because defenders are bodying him up. Amare has to shoot long range because KG wont physically let him get in post position due to pushing with forearm and hand checking.

This was represented well in 2k11 but we all remember peoples "stop bumping me " complaints but i see ALOT of that in the game i am watching now. 2k12 is so free flowing that none of the physical contact that we had in 2k11 is there. ITs to easy to "AND-1" your way to a open shot on the perimeter or float to lane for a layup without any contact or do continuous successful pull up jumpers with below average shooters regardless of their "abilities". Tony allen can hit pullups in this game and EVERYONE knows he cant shoot if his life depended on it .

My question is what happened to 2k bball? I the lack of physical play due to people complaints or because the devs wanted to make it easier for people to do what they want on the court?

everyones fav move in 2k11 online was hopstep because it was only way to get to basket due to physical defense but now you just do dunks over 3 defenders with ease.

what happened with 2k12?

My biggest complaint with 2K12 easily..While it's an upgrade presentation wise it took a complete backwards step as far as the "physicality" being represented in the game..The hard fouls , contact in the pain, hard layup and shooting fouls have been completely nurfed in 2k12..2k11 had it right ..

Agree, 2k11 was much better and more realistic in terms of its physical play. 2k12 seems like it got dummy downed.

2k12 lacks phyical play but the reason was people complained about it last year.People dont remember complaining about it.There was contact but i was mad unrealistic (ex Nate robinson triggering an animation against a C like Howard to make an easy under the hoop score into a contest shot).Im assuming they couldnt fix many of them so they just got rid of them.

thats the problem they removed something vital to the defense and now its just turbo into defenders and trigger layup animation without contact. Hopefully they get in right in 2k13 because 2k12 is pitiful in this aspect. Its more like streetball now. I can take terrance williams in the paint and score with ease over dwight because i will do a highlight dunk on him every time. 2k11 had it right and you are correct. THey didnt take the time to fix it so the contact is dependent on the players involved but now we have a layup drill with arcade dunks over proven shot blockers. the ease of getting by for open jumper on the perimenter is even worse. Its all pullup jumpers by people who rarely even attempt them IRL.

this wasnt an option in 2k11 but i do it all the time in 2k12 and its worse online where 2k refuses to put the game on a challenging level

Re: Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

The bumps on the perimeter in 2K11 are flat out illegal. They need to implement on ball defense that changes your angle to the basket rather than just a bump. Maybe the inside game could be more physical as well-- not sure and I think it depends on the teams playing. Have you tried turning inside shot contact sliders up?

Re: Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

The bumping that does exist is still flawed. A 6'0" 180lb PG can get the exact same bumping animations on a 7'0" 250lb C that another C of equal size could get. There's no differentiation between players with extreme size miss matches. I should be able to go where ever I want with a big that size or at least look like the PG is exerting his entire body and getting minimal success while the inverse happens with the C in the low post on switches.

And don't get me started on being boxed out by much smaller players with high effectiveness.

Re: Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

Id like to be able to know the difference between a physical player and a finese player. The problem in 2k11 was that everybody played pyhsical and could initiate these exxagerated bump animations on the perimiter. I have no problem with adding more contact in the paint with physical defenders.

Re: Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

Boston's style of defense is all but obselete. They are by no means the rule when it comes to half court defense in today's NBA. The OP is off base.

Re: Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

2k11 was better on and offline than 2k12. Especially online with the different lobbies. I can only tolerate 12 offline.

Re: Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

i agree with the OP as far as the user trying to bodying up a guy b4 he catches the ball. the LT button has been nerfed to where i wonder if it even works sometimes. unless youre precision perfect with the left stick, your "body up" will fail and the guy will slide right by you like greased lightning. the CPU does a decent job when setting everyone to deny though but your offball help d skills better be on point or else its foul/dunk city.
