Is the ball morph issue going to finally be looked at?

[-DaVe-]

I hope so!

Here's a videos explaining the issue very well

I see two problems which will keep them from fixing this issue.

1. Canned Animations - these are killing the game if you ask me. Yeah, it looks pretty, but when this happens, the game physics just go out the window, and that's when you see the morphing of the ball, it's when Lebron or Kobe does their fancy canned animations and the ball basically becomes part of them.

2. Actual ball physics would cause a ton of unwanted and uncontrolled turnovers. It would constantly be getting hit by someone's knee or hand or shoulder or whatever. Now, you think, well, that's how it is in real life. You're right about that, but in real life, I can angle my pass just another inch to the left in order to avoid it getting deflected. I can't do that kind of precision in a game. So it has to become a bit more of a calculation rather than the actual physics. Also, more turnovers would frustrate those players that want action. If the ball is getting turned over 18 times a game, and deflected out of bounds 10 times a game, the game will be slowed down and the action junkies will complain. Of course it's good for the similation fans, but game developers don't like catering to one audience.

Anyway, that's my input. I hope it made sense. If not, you can call me a moron. I don't really care.

Either way, I bet it won't be fixed for a couple more years.

I LOL'd hard the entire beginning he was talkin about molecules and whatnot and just rambling about other random stuff. LMAO

Anyways, to Boge, I think canned animations are needed in the game. You can't have realistic offense/defense interaction without canned animations, as players would never appear to touch one another.

I thought the ball morphing in 2k8 was bad, the ball morphing in 2k9 is just absolutely ridiculous. Glitches and errors like that Kinda make the game unplayable.

bump hoping a dev looks at the topic

[Pared]

These are the worst possible videos someone could use to help out the developers.

If you can post a video where someone isn't rambling on for 10 minutes and instead states their point and cuts it off, I'm sure it would get a look.

If they don't know by now it is a MAJOR issue, then they will never know. I am pretty sure they know

BUMP To see if this issue will finally be addressed.
