NBA 2K15 In Real Life Video (FUNNY)

The post up hook shot off the side of the backboard at 1:08... so damn annoying since 2k8.

This video is why I laugh at the idea that the movement in 2k is realistic.

2k needs way more context sensitive animations on the perimeter and driving. They're really only present in the paint for different dunks, layups, and fouls. This video was spot on with all the cheese. They've got fixed defending on the perimeter as well, so annoying. And even then, the gameplay overall is very good. Just so many nagging issues.

But this is 100% on the user though. If you're that deep by the baseline, why would you ask for that shot over the baseline shoulder? And you do have control over which shoulder you shoot over, btw. There is a lot in the video that for better or worse, makes for fewer exploits in the game.

With that said, these kids are hilarious. Can't wait to see the next one.

There's been a lot of times where an overplay by the defender has closed off the middle of the paint and there's a clear touch of breathing room to the baseline (in real life, more than enough room to squeeze and finish with a hook off glass, just in a tighter proximity). However, the overly elaborate steps taken and the drawn out process of the hook in 2K has historically led a solid number of accidental bizarro hooks to the wrong side of the board.

In short, there have been a ton of times where I found myself in a position where I could easily execute a jump hook if it were real life but in the game, it leads to drawn out glitch shots off the back of the backboard. If nothing else, I always thought some context animations there would greatly help, like the player at least trying to not shoot it into the back of the backboard.

I will admit this though: sometimes I've tried to execute a drop step but my right stick use was too close to calling for a jump hook, so then a jump hook happens by accident and the backboard animation plays out in slow motion, to my horror. Truly would be nice if a "hook" command in tight quarters resulted in a leaning, trying-to-make-it-work-in-a-tough-spot animation instead of blindly going through standard hook procedure all the way to doomsville.

But you hit it right on the head. The game's shot system gives you much more choice in the type of shots you take. There's so much, that, sometimes, it's tougher to get the exact one you want, but the ability is there at least. My point was that the game provide the user with the control to NOT get that. Can it be less error prone? Absolutely.

They did this last year and 2K says they fixed everything that was in the video.

Hopefully they do the same this year. In fact I hope they make one of these videos every year.

I don't know about them fixing everything in last year's video. But I'm sure the effort to fix them was there, I guess.

This video? I HOPE they don't fix SOME of those. Like I said, things like the alley oop block prevents people from cheesing alley-oops. And makes double-team actually useful. The RL impact of doubles is that you restrict the vision of the ballhandler. But in the game, he has God-view and a LOT of what makes them effective is killed. So, they chuck the pass. If they "fix" some of these, the impact would not necessarily be good overall.


But I hear what you're saying.

Yes but this video is almost exactly the same video that last year.

Ps: they could do the same video about legend player with a whi for Larry Bird.

On point. Has me thinking about what else they might be able to do to properly mirror real life double teams, since it's not just a broad loss of vision, but a loss of options and personal space, which can induce rushed decisions and difficult executions.

Asking honestly since I don't have 2K15 but, does a defense rotate in the game to take away first pass when a double team is triggered and executed? If the defense at least attempted to do so, perhaps that could lead to more organic over-the-top-of-double-team lazy pass attempts that gets picked off in stride as a result of the compensating help. Then, perhaps it'd be the pass attempts to players who are two passes away that'd lead to some possibly highly inaccurate passes. If that's already how it is, then 2K's ahead of the game.

Re: NBA 2K15 In Real Life Video (FUNNY)

i hate the magnetism of the double teams plus the inability to split them or dribble away from it. Also need more organic animations other than the jumping two hand overhead pass.

they kill the enjoyment of the park. if im on a team with a zig zagger, i will jsut sit there and do nothing because we all know the guy wont ever pass the ball. so no point in me wasting time trying to move into a good position when i know the ball wont ever come to me.

At least for me personally, it doesn't really bother me that alley oops can be defended or double teams cause turnover, it is the actual way that scenario plays via some pretty impossible looking animations that rubs me the wrong way.

Alley oop slapped or snatched as it comes out of the passers hand? Sure.

Ball deflected away as it is reaching the alley oop finisher?Sure.

Poorly thought out passes grabbed or knocked away by help defenders on a double? I could deal with that too.

Random players with a magical Dwight Howard 13 foot vertical leap to smack the ball at the apex? Not so much.

Clean pass out of the double team to a teammate 7 feet away with clear passing lane inexplicably flies 10 feet over his head due to the most unlikely pass selection possible? Not so much either.

Obviously there should be defensive techniques to prevent certain plays from happening,just as there is in real basketball; I would simply much prefer if it happened in a more realistic looking fashion.
