I figured I'd make a thread for patch suggestions. I know there's already a 2k15 wishlist thread, but this is more for immediate fixes that can be addressed in a patch.


1. I think the main thing that bothers me right now is the shot success logic. Too many difficult or contested shots are going in.

Lower the success rate of post-up turn-around fades...and lower the success rate even more when these are contested. It seems like the game does not register contests against those shot types. Those post-up turn-around fade aways and hooks are driving me nuts. They go in at a crazy percentage. You can time your contest well, get a hand in their face - the game doesn't seem to recognize the contest at all. The Knicks are the cheesiest in this area. They get so many points off of posting up and shooting contested turn-arounds.

Contact layups go in way too much. success on all contact shots should be lowered. The game favors the offensive player too much right now. On defense, if you are able to get in front of the ball handler, get your hands up, and force contact, then the shot should miss most of the time...but it's crazy how often your opponent can lean into you in the paint, toss up a leaning prayer contact shot and sink it.

Basically, defense (contests, contact) doesn't seem to lower shot percentage enough. Shot difficulty also doesn't seem to make much difference in shot success (turn-around fade aways seem to go in just as much as regular jumpers).

On the other hand, good old-fashioned open shots don't seem to go in enough.

2. Foul calls in the paint feel arbitrary. I'll be standing there doing the "hands up" move with the right stick, the shooter will shoot into me yet I'll be called for a foul. Standing with your hands up is not a foul, that's just good defense. Stop calling fouls on defenders just for standing there. if you get your hands up and don't leave your feet, you should not pick up a foul call.

NOTE: this is all while playing on Sim/Allstar settings.
