Re: NBA 2K14 Patch Available Now For Xbox One - Post Your Impressions
This games ****ing cheese and poorly implemented features is making it utterly unplayable. Get blocked once, your player is ICE cold forever, so have fun if a key player gets blocked on the first possession! Speaking of blocks, way more than half of them end up in the hands of the opponent, who then either magically make a difficult shot or get an easy one thanks to idiotic AI. The AI instantly picks blocked shots of the ground and converts them for easy buckets, in a manner of about half a second, which really isn't crappy defensive AI as they're usually going for the ball. Get a steal, the player WILL screw up the pass on the fastbreak and turn it right back over.
The bounce pass, and therefore the fastbreak, is dead, I don't know why they bothered putting it in if every single time it gets intercepted by a defender. It's ridiculous that every single fastbreak I end up having to pull the ball up, unless I have 0 defenders on my way to the hoop. Most passes are the absolute worst type, i.e. trying to get passes to a posted up big man are hardly ever high and floaty like they need to be. It's funny how when you pass the ball to good shooters they like to move about 3 steps beyond the arc while getting the pass, or they'll go inside the moment I go to pass and the ball gets turned over. The ball has ZERO life in it; its like a big sphere of lead. The only time it moves with any kind of speed is sometimes when its blocked.
The AI sinking difficult, over-the-contesting-defender and long distance 3s? The norm. Rollerskating is absolutely ridiculous, I have very little control of my player on either side of the ball.
They seem to have removed the floater, as every time I try one with a penetrating guard, rather than flip the ball up, he takes two steps to the side and attempts a stupid, hard to convert running jumpshot. Which, of course, gets blocked the majority of the time. Players with crappy shooting animations are routinely blocked on their jumpers, even while fading away.
I'm able to steal the ball at a ridiculous rate, but this is basically the only weapon I have against this CRAP. I'm playing on Pro difficulty! If I wanted to overcome the AI's bull****, I'd play on the HOF level! And it's not like the AI does this only in the 4th quarter - in my experience, this crap is happening from the tip, and in all but one game I've had to play from a 10 point deficit in the beginning, which is fine when its not happening against the 76ers. And every single time I play.
I am so incredibly frustrated with the gameplay of this game right now. Maybe I need to try out some sliders. I'm not normally one that believes in AI cheating, or at least not that often, but I'm starting to believe it in this game. It's a new build, and given the short development time of the game, I'm sure AI isn't as good as it is as current gen, or not as good as it should be on next gen. It wouldn't be surprising that the developers put in a bunch of bullcrap so that you don't end up winning every game. This really is something outside of everybody's control; we demand a new game every year, and that gives them less than a year's time to make the game. Now I'm not sure how long in advance they made the next gen versions, but I'm sure it still wasn't long enough. It may very well be unavoidable, and we may have to deal with the artificial difficulty that permeates this game's gameplay.
