Rebounding in 2k12 needs to be fixed

Wouldn't that affect dunks as well?

I have only seen over the back fouls called on me, none of them deserved.

And that happens to me all the time. Classic example was in greatest mode, 71-72 Knicks vs 71-72 Lakers where the opposing Pg frequently outrebounded Wilt Chamberlain.

I was like, "I can't see how THIS guy was the NBA's leading rebounder."

I don't really have a gripe about the rebounding as much as I do the 3 point shooting.....

Definitely seeing the stiff jump reaching, and the issue of Vertical mattering way too much in rebounding from previous years remains. The result is that Cs, which are typically the least athletic of the 5 positions and so their shiny rebounding stats aren't really worth anything when the athletic young PG jumps out of nowhere to push the C aside and grab the rock.

Big Men can't get no love.

Really? I think the rebounding in 2k12 is 1308528645 times better than it was in 11. It seems that the position actually matters now, and big players can still grab rebounds over small players if the ball is between them.

See, this was (along with fouls) my number 1 issue with 2K11, and the reason I still haven't bought 2K12 yet. I simply want to see if the issue is fixed first.

Having to put Off Reb at 100 and Def Reb to 0 is just not right. And even then they were often too low (and like never too high).

In 2K11 I think the main issue was Offensive players not breaking to the basket upon a shot, or ideally in a set play upon anticipation of a scripted shot opportunity. That and the daft suction blocks helping the player in the best position way too much, even if they only had the end of their arm in contact.

Seems now it's more about idiotic AI though (than Def-Off imbalance). Which is actually even worse.

If this doesn't get improved in a patch there's a good chance I won't even buy it.

I think there needs to be more room for user timing error on rebounds. I get killed by the cpu on the offensive glass because whenever I try to grab a defensive rebound myself and I miss-time my jump - even slightly - it's an automatic gather and put-back for the cpu. The timing is a bit too tight imo.

I don't understand 2K12's rebounding model at all. Sometimes the ball just falls through your hands and the CPU seems predetermined to get it. Other times, the ball is very live and there are multiple tips and jumps as you scrabble for the ball. I've noticed that the scripted rebounds that slips through your fingers to a CPU player in a worse position seems to happen more on the offensive end.
