    Let's talk rims

    IMO rim and net physics have stalled, where pretty much everything else has improved.

    There's not enough missed shot animations, and certainly not enough made shot animations. The sound is pretty meek aswell.

    Sometimes the net physics are off aswell. A soft shot that dribbles through the net will make a dramatic swish animation trigger when it shouldnt.

    Hopefully, this is one of the small things the team has nailed.

    And no Im not saying this is anything near a game breaker or anything like that. Im just saying it would be good if this was one of the pile of small things that go in to making an awesome game ever more awesome.

    What do you all think?

    Also, fix Dirk's hair.

    Ok, Im done.

    It's crazy how a team hasn't gotten the physics or looks right for a rim and net yet. I think last years live did a pretty good job with it, hopefully 2K has improved upon it since then. I'd like to see someone get it right.

      Re: Let's talk rims

      I like this thread.


      I agree - not a game breaker, but something I look forward to seeing every year for the first time.


      For some reason it means a lot to me that they are as close to the real thing as possible. It adds to the realism when a ball misses or makes as it would in real life.


      One key I think is that the net may move ok (not perfect) but is definitely moving too slow....video game slow.


      Also hate the look and sound of dunks.


      But yes, rim/net physics, animations and sounds, definitely agree, important and not quite where they need to be.


      Ok - I too am done. Haha..

        One thing 2k can learn from the EA FIFA team is how the latter lets us choose the type of goal & net to play on, which in turn shows different net animations when scoring goals. You can choose from tight/loose nets and they look different in their own way. I wish 2k would just implement different net mechanics and let us choose

          Like.... net physics sliders? Never thought of that. I agree.

            rim/net physics and sound updates are definitely overdue.

              One of the devs need to head on over to NLSC and download the net physics mod and copy the sequence used in that file. The net actually moves like a net and not some strings flapping in the wind.
              They could also take a page out of their own book and use the sounds from actual arenas for the baskets. They've had the same floor squeak, ball bouncing, and rim sounds since Dreamcast smh. If I can overlay youtube vids sound over gameplay, why can't they take actual basket recordings and have them replace the old ones

                I totally agree. It's one of those small things that seems to get overlooked every year but now that we're on a new gen of consoles, it really should be addressed at this point.

                  I know here in Philly (especially at the game in the stands) the rim has a mic on it and when a shot swishes or someone dunks it's a lot more I guess you'd say over-dramatic.

                  I mean I don't expect arena-specific sound...even though they kinda do with the different music and chants and the way certain players names are said. But yes I agree..

                  There needs to be more missed shot animations, better rim sounds, and the dunks sound the same since like 2K8 lol
                  I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.
                  I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.

                    I reckon those rims in the 2k15 vids are new.

                    Will have to wait on more to see if there's more physics/sounds

                      In the first KD reveal little video the sound they had on the dunk was def different from years past.

                      And the size of ball to the rim is off. You can fit 2 basketballs side by side through a regulation rim, if you go to replays on 2k14 where the ball is rolling in off the side rim, you can see maybe 1 and 1/3 balls could fit through there.

                      It looked like the NBA was using a longer net last season, wish that would get in.



                      Also, the size of the ball in players hands is way off.

                        I don't think i've ever seen a long rebound that bounced back out towards midcourt in 2k14, idk if it's not able to happen but it's been like 400 mycareer games for me

                          i was just about to post something similar.. ball trajectory needs work. seems like too many missed shots end up out of bounds too.

                            Im convinced these 2K15 rims look different. The net looks to react differently aswell. I havent heard any sound.
