Why does the rim/net look and feel so off??

[MustangMan]

I just can't get over how the rim and net don't look and feel right on next gen. Yes, im picky but that changes the feel and look of basketball in a videogame that is supposed to replicate the true sport. For instance look at how the net and rim looks and reacts in NBA 2k12 and highlights of real NBA compared to how 2k16 looks. Next gen should look more realistic, feel more realistic and not cartoony. The rim doesn't really look like the right color and the net looks odd. I do like the looks of other things in this game but I don't understand why this this should go so unnoticed.

Personally from what I've seen, I think the rim/net are better in 2K16 than they were in 2K15.


How the net animates is important to me and I think it's solid from what I've seen.


The rim physics also look better in 2K16 aswell.


Sounds are a different story...... but can't say I agree with you on this one man.

I don't like how net looks too, especially when ball just slowly rolls into basket it swishes too much when it should barely move at all. Also the shape of net does look ugly, I dislike similar looking irl nets .

And their rims look red instead of orange can we bring some attention to thus so it can be patched.

The rim/net and animations look better this year, but wont be able to tell until we all play the game.

I wouldn't say "Insane"

But I feel like it's an improvement over 2K15.

Go watch the vid with Clippers at Sixers. Late in that vid CP3 gets a break away layup. He puts it up nice and high and the net barely moves at all. Looks very realistic.

The key to this is, 2K have nailed the net physics. At no point does the ball clip through the net (I've done pause/zooms and haven't seen it once.....yet) and if the ball pushes through the net at one point, it's pulled from another point so at no time does it expand beyond it's physical capacity.

Although this sounds complex (and a lot of words) it's actually quite simple and it just comes down to 2K having solid net physics.
