Dribble drives are almost next to impossible

Body sensitivity at 0, contact sliders at 0, on ball defense? 0. It does not matter because there literally exist this weird sort of forcefield that will impede your path to the hole no matter the ballhandler or defender. Don't even begin with that stick skills nonsense. Lebron James should need next to no controller wizardry to blow past nearly anyone on planet earth, period. Whatever happens when he gets to the hoop is whatever happens, but he will, should, and MUST be able to effortlessly get to the hole if we want 'sim'.

Thoughts?

Using less turbo lets you slither past people more easily.

Still not easily enough. Ive heard this before and it still leads to halted drives and sometimes, your guy entering an untriggered post animation. All I'm saying is if help d negatively alters my shot, so be it, but I should, with a half way decent player anyway, be able to get past defenders.

Still not as much driving as there should be. Its like the defense is this brick wall that you can't get passed no matter what.

I turned lateral quickness down to like 15 or 20 and it seems to work a little better but hopefully this is addressed in 2k18

Also try turning the "driving contact shot" slider down but turn the layup defensive strength sliders up. There's less contact on the drive itself but more contact when the player actually goes up for the shot

The absolute most frustrating thing about all of this is that there is no slider or ratings fix at all for it. Quite literally, nothing solves this issue. This is bull****, quite frankly.

I dropped the sliders, and in combination with using screens and plays, the game opens up.The on ball D is still too sticky, but it can be improved.

A million likes to this thread. Hoping this, and defensive rotations are top gameplay priorities for 2K18.

They need to add a TON of defensive animation to improve these issues.

Re: Dribble drives are almost next to impossible

I was playing around with the 1 v 1 game yesterday. It needs work.

It's decent this year but you are "glued" to the defender or "magnetized"into a player at times. Not as free as I would like.

The triple threat game such as jab steps and pump fakes seem too slow.
