For those that say there are TOO MANY fouls, start making note of how many fouls there are by the end of the game.

Then compare those numbers to the real NBA.

So are there

A. Too many fouls
B. Too many fouls compared to what we are used to in a basketball video game

If I Miss ONE MORE Layup...... : http://www.operationsports.com/forums/nba-2k-basketball/891519-if-i-miss-one-more-layup.html

Folks crying

Like I said before

I always say this and PLEASE don't take it personally.

For over 20 years, layups have been basically been guaranteed makes in video game basketball.

A few years ago, that changed but I don't think our expectations ever changed.

We EXPECT too many layups to go in as gamers, so we always feel as though we miss too many.

Also, I don't think any of us truly TRACK how many we are missing. (Contested Layups). Since we already have our minds made up that we are missing alot, guess what we are going to "see" when we play? Missed layups.

1. Lower your expectations
2. Track exactly what is happening (Record if anything to have PROOF)
3. Think about what types of shots you are taking. Momentum, defensive awareness ratings of those in the area. Fatigue level of the shooter.

I don't really have a issue with the amount (still a lot) it's the type of fouls are for the most part all the same. In the post 95% of the time. Players don't get slapped on the wrist on jumpers like they do in the NBA. Feels like lazy coding

I like how they foul jump shooters if you run at them too aggressively. I always see those dumb fouls in the post - especially when I let the CPU guard the post up.

Still wish you could set defensive settings before online games. Wouldn't mind having a switch everything defense saved, a pressure blitzing/trapping defense saved, etc. Would be dope to scroll through that like freelance offenses.

Anyway around the subs not registering during TOs? I tried to do offense-defense subs in crunch time and it worked out in the perfectly opposite way.

Sign with Nike or JB? I want to wear Brons, Kobes, etc., but they finally added low tops for JB. Those IXs

That is cool.

I wish they add in more "Undercutting" animations and context. Even on layups, I can take my man and RUN right into your man, while he is airborne, and there isn't an animation to capture that collision.

Just in general, I can take my man, and run INTO your stationary ball handler, and no foul is called.

Maybe they think that is too much?

I saw a flagrant animation yesterday that had me dude literally was pissed and pushed my guy out the air on a layup attempt. They were down like 25 in the fourth and immediately u see the reactions from my player and him and of course the commentators spoke on it as well. Can't imagine how realistic 2K20 is gonna be on these "pro" systems

I think they do have that animation, i went up for a dunk yesterday and dud undercut my player and it threw his dunk off and made him change his shot and he fell to the floor. plus no foul. smh.

Good runnin xxpizzo

2K was on that bs tho...

You already know. We had some great games in the park

last few were deff some bs tho

it annoys me a lot when i get that horrible lag delay with waiting for opponent every few seconds hard to keep up with my defender.. Its like the game will slow down then speed up to real time as if my frame rates were all off

Yeah probably just trying to balance realism vs fun and offense vs defense. They do reward you for playing smart controlled defense. But they don't REALLY punish you for flying around and turboing everywhere. You'll get beat occasionally but nowhere near as much as real basketball. Itd be easy to turn all those collisions into fouls.

 

[xxpizzo]

Yo fellas. Something fishy going on. My last 10 games, 6 of them have been auto quits. Meaning right after tip they intentionally foul and quit. Or foul repeatedly until it asks me if I want to quit. Or pause and let the time run out.

I'm 36-4 but would like to earn my w's.

it a way for people to earn QUICK VC. its all over reddit of people doing it. i wont be stepping foot into online now for awhile

I was in your park, i saw your little streak, but i had my own streak on court 8.

I was telling my boys lets go take that streak but we didnt want to get off

I'm seeing all types of fouls shooting blocking charges every game it's very realistic for once IMO

 

[mchunudon]

I played my man for the first time yesterday and I was beyond frustrated and stopped playing after the 2nd game even tho I won both. I just browsed the thread and saw both of these issues talked about. The missed layups, I feel like with playing more this can be mastered. But the fouls :x how do you play d? My man was in the penalty not even half way through the 3rd quarter. Patty Mills on my team had 5 fouls in the 2nd quarter and I had to manually sub him out because they just left him in there racking up charging calls

Huh the CPU ran into my stationary player last night and a foul was called I've seen it a lot and also if you run into a player while shooting a jumper they call a foul now

ahh damn i didnt even see your GT, i normally hit back button and browse to see whose in the park

would of been dope to see yall 3 hop on the court to play us lol maybe next time. 

they need a way for us to get our FT rating up to, im a stretch big and im at a damn 65 **** so hard to hit Fts. I goto the line in practice but that +1 is only temp

 

[glennvagmire]

Anyone on ps4 think they're nice?

Once they allow cross platforms, its a wrap.

I think they do have this it just may be sporadic. I ran at a 3 point shooter last night and just made body contact, i didn't actually press any buttons and the refs called foul. I was kind of annoyed, but also impressed.

thanks for this. its looks like my shot creator was the best position for pg. the most all around

 

[ronaldo nazario]

Has anyone else had a problem actually starting their MyCareer? Every time I try it just says that there is a problem with my connection and it gives me two different error codes before exiting the mode and taking me back to the main menu again. All of the other online modes work fine though.

I did a SG shot creator and I'm pretty happy with the archetype. Everything I really need for my style of play

How tall you make your pg?
