What animations do you feel need to be added and removed to and from the game?

[VAWereWolf65]

A couple I'd like to see added are:
-Fake passes on drive (ones where you don't throw the ball away)
-More layup animations and shot animations inside the paint (you don't really see players setting up to do jumpshots while inside the paint. A lot of times it's more of push shots or floaters)
-Crisper passing animations (No more slow lobs)

A couple I'd like to see removed:
-Automatic Strip steal in the post or in the triple threat positions (players almost never get stripped in these positions)
-Less celebrations off of simple stuff like assists (Maybe an option to turn them off or keep them on, but i personally don't like them. Some people might be fine with them)
-Players hanging on the rim after missed/blocked alley oops or dunks
-Fake pass out of bounds
-Throwing the ball out of bounds while passing downcourt to an open teammate
-Missing reverse layups and throwing the ball into the underside of the rim (players are a lot more aware then to chuck the ball right into the rim on a layup attempt)
-Faster dunk animations
-Players going in for dunks, but since the dunk animations are so slow, another player has time to step in front of you and forces you to do this animation where you almost fall down in mid air and just toss the ball lightly at the rim (which usually results in a missed layup, when it really should be a blocking foul or a charge)

Feel free to add on or make your case on what animations should be added and which ones should be removed

Remove:
-That pick up ball animation after someone tries to steal the ball from you.
-The stumbling animation after someone jumps and falls on top of you. It should really be a foul, I don't know why it's a no-call.
-Animations where players get stuck on the referee. This destroys so many of my fastbreaks. Nothing more frustrating than running a fastbreak and you try to pass to a player and he's stuck on the ref and you do a fake pass animation. The worst is when you're by the half-court line and get called for a back court.

whatever they are, animations mesh poorly and inconsistently.
also speed of animation is inaccurate.
u don't dunk this slow and u don't spin this slow in real life.

current animation system is so old they need a new engine.

get rid of all animations

Get rid of those bobble the ball catch animations.
Overhead out of bounds passes
Slow passes
Unnecessary bounce passes
Losing the ball by dribbling behind the back

Remove all the canned animations and try to make a real physics system again. If madden can do,so can 2k....They have the resources..Make it happen man.

-Better ball recovery animations defensively. Especially after steals and blocks.
-More shot contest animations around the paint that showcases defensive awareness.
- quicker lateral movement animations for the defense
-blocks off the backboard. I rarely see any .

Add:
- more jab step animations, it's almost impossible to play KAT in the game like he plays in real life because you can't link jab steps together like that in-game.
- more high lay-ups and floater animations for players not named steph curry. IT4 and cp3 are trash in 2k because their layups get blocked super easily.

Remove:
- that eurostep fake pass animation where you throw the ball out of bounds, I don't even know why that's in the game
- that stun animation you sometimes get when someone strips you. I get that it's probably there to allow the defender some time to chase after it (since most people who play 2k probably don't have the reaction time of an NBA player), but there has to be a better solution that doesn't look clunky.

I don't really have a problem with most of the passing animations though, the floaty ones usually happen (at least in my experience) if there isn't a clean look for a chest pass, or if it's a long cross court pass. Not everyone can be LBJ or CP3 and just whip the ball from sideline to sideline, and I kind of like how that's reflected

Remove

- Every canned animation.
- Slow, Non-urgent animation in the middle of the paint. If you're cutting through the paint make the cut then stop slowing down.
- Slow, non-urgent animations outside of the paint causing Plays to never set up on time.

- Throwing the ball over the rim animations where you then proceed to fall.
- Posterizer animations that keep you on the floor for like 10 seconds even if you miss, pointing to the sky like an idiot as the defense goes by.

- Stutter animations after dribble moves PLEASE NEVER PATCH DRIBBLING AGAIN 2K. You stay messing it up. No reason I just dropped someone and am now waiting for him to get back up.

Animations that are based off of how fast the player is moving. I see 7'3 centers with 34 speed get a speedboost animation from blocking at the free throw line just to block me.

Hate this animation so much. If you're gonna give me a contact dunk, give me a contact dunk. If you're gonna make me do a layup, make me do a layup. Don't give me this half-assed animation that leaves you and the opponent sprawled out on the floor for 5+ seconds, often resulting in a 3 second violation.

I cant recall which dunk package it is in, but there is one dunk animation where the player comes almost to a dead stop right in front of the rim and then jumps straight up vertically and slams it one handed. It looks very robotic and not fluid at all.

In fact I'd say many more dunk animations are simply not satisfying or indeed realistic.

Yea that's actually D-Wades signature dunk package (even on his historic player) and it's a really ugly and boring animation, especially for someone like Dwayne Wade to be using

No animations and you won't have a game. Not sure if your joking or not. Some of y'all are asking to take out bobbled passes and loss of ball animations. That's like asking to take out dropped passes from Madden. I don't think some of you guys understand a lot of the animations are necessary especially for a Basketball game. I agree some of the animations don't make sense are too slow at times.

They should make getting the speeds and situations right a priority instead of adding 1000 more. I've tweeted the devs a few times about some dunks that look very slow and stupid looking in certain situations.

You can chain jab steps together already. I agree about adding more layups and floaters. I don't know how many times I've shot the stupid jumper they make you do or a super slow animation where you jump back putting up the ball off the backboard.
