You don't have to be in the play are circle for the play to be activated just the general vicinity.

Sometimes I think I'm close enough, but then it doesn't start and I have to move up another "6 inches" and by then I've wasted some precious seconds. I want a giant circle where there is no ambiguity.

Great game overall...Here are some things I've found that I don't like in H2H:

1) The strange assistance coach dude that you see from time to time in the huddle. Bad voice acting too.

2) Too many blocked dunks.

3) Alot of blocks/strips where peoples elbows, backs etc somehow jar the ball loose. Very unrealistic.

4) NBA players, even ones rated a 70 or lower, are completely capable of laying the ball in the basket when given a little space.
This isn't reflected well in this game. Alot of missed layups with minimal contest.

5) Blatant bumping and grabbing animations that aren't called fouls on the perimiter.

6) Psychic defense (eyes in the back of their heads) by the CPU players. Legacy issue.

7) Is it just me, or is it impossible to know where these off-ball players are on the court defensively?

8) Not really a fan of the new substitution, POE on the fly controls.

9) Still takes WAAY too long to inbound the ball most of the time.

10) Animations that cause my defender to head the wrong direction (momentarily) when a fast break is initiated by the other team. Legacy issue.

11) Online input lag. I guess this will always be a problem.

12) Animations where the recipient of a pass tends to slide behind the defender while the pass is in progress. Resulting in a turnover. Very unrealistic.

13) Alot of out of context overhead passes that have no zip.

14) A drunken master animation that plays out too often when a guard loses the ball.

15) Alot of the lower rated players move WAAAAY too slow. Otto Porter Jr and Gortat defy the laws of physics with how slow his steps are.
Don't move anything like their real life counterparts (speedwise).

16) I've seen dudes in the paint for 6 secs+ with no 3 sec call on them. The 3 second rule application tends to be tied to momentum. Again, unrealistic.

Still the best 2K ever. Alot of this stuff, I would assume, is patchable.

Good list. Most of the stuff is minor at best, but enough to be annoying at times. I'm with you one of the most annoying thing is how long it takes the ball to come inbounds in the delay time between timeouts and cut stri in the delay time between timeouts and cut screens

I agree...Some of it is minor...But, it all adds up. Especially the gameplay ones.

New Orleans seriously might be the toughest team I play. Now granted I play with the Celtics and they're not very good but the fact that Davis can come out and cover my guards very quickly makes it pretty complicated.
