The lack of on/off ball contact on defense is something I'm disappointed didn't get addressed more for this patch. I'm hoping for the next patch Visual Concept developers can work on this a little bit. I would really hate to have to wait untill 2k14 to actually have good contact on defense.
Inside the paint off-ball trying to defend bigs, there is almost no body contact at all so people can easily get right under the basket.
The off-ball bumping/bouncing animations are so annoying when you run into someone. On defense when this bumping animation happens it wont let you jump/move at all.
On-ball defense there isn't enough body contact and ball handlers can simply slide off your defenders body or just keep trying to ram their way into the paint with little consequences, such as lossing the ball or picking up their dribble more. I would like to see the on-ball defense attribute raised like it was in 2k11.
Dunks and on some layups there should be some contact/collision animations with the defender, with the possibility of being able to block some dunks without your hand morphing through the ball. On-ball defenders on dunks and some layups shouldn't be simply getting moved/pushed out of the way so easily. I don't expect this to be addressed however untill 2k14 probably, since they need to work alot more on their contact/collision physics system and add more animations.
