Ranked games set to EASY mode now???

[thugnificant]

today i noticed something when i got demolished by the heat with mostly dunks!!!!! i tried to play the same way with the nuggets and it worked!!! 2k what did you guys do the the ranked settings?? peoples FG% are going into the 60% range and paint scoring is easier. . you guys trying fix your servers and in the process reset online to default regular instead of sim? Anyone noticed this as well. Its been noticed by people on the 2k forums also

You didn't just play the Jazz did you?

This is definitely true. My friend and I were play a custom match on HOF with Chicago vs. Celtics and he dunking all over me with Nate Robinson!!!??? Don't get me wrong he can dunk but only in transition. Too little to go up against the trees consistently.Your not the only one that notice this checkout this link.

I swore mike wang posted that the online difficulty settings would not change this year. I see it only took less than a week for them to go to easier level .

They have a great Find a Player feature in Association mode, why can they use that in online play.

You just enter:
Gamestyle: Simulation
Quarter length: 8 minutes or higher
NBA rules: on or off
Allow classic teams: yes or no
Ranked: Yes or no

Something like that.

I hope this is NOT true !!!!

I loved the difficulty of ranked games..........

This would really sucked if it was dumbed down.

This shouldnt come a surprise to anyone.

Ranked game settings have always been tuned for the greatest common denominator.

Playing online vs someone on default all star, and playing someone offline on all star is different.

The sliders arent the same.
