I haven't played yet, but I love the fact that you can't dominate people by backing down. It's something I always complained about. In real life they can only back down 1 or 2 steps and then you need to make a move instead of constantly push people back down into the paint.

now you won't be able to do 1 or 2 steps either, let alone a quarter of an inch.

I play with the Hornets and I abuse people in the block with West. I don't see the problems that you guys are seeing. I'm loving the patch. Especially, since I just bought the game so I play the game with all the problems for too long.

For the short time I was playing, I wasn't having any problems backing down smaller guys(mismatches)in the post. Definitely noticed some improvements in this. Good job 2K.

I think now we might have to learn the low post moves rather than backing the opposing player down - which is probably a good thing.

Maybe you guys can increase or decrease the Strength Slider and/or increase or decrease the On-ball Defense in order to see ppl being backed down?

If you are controlling a Big man down in the low post and want to back down, can't you just post up and and spin either right or left of your defender by slightly pushing your left analog stick to the direction of the roll?

3 seconds in the lane is still not called. Seems like the easiest thing to fix. Online is still a camp in the lane fest.

play with default sliders..I'm having a blast..no issues for me
