Why is Offensive Rebounding and Why Does 2K Refuse To Fix It?

[thedude]

I don't get it. It was already hard to get an o-reb against the cpu last year and in previous versions and its even worse this year. Especially after the latest patch, it's practically impossible. I played 10 association games with the Bulls(best offensive rebounding team in NBA) and I could hardly get 5 a game. Jakim Noah almost averages 5 by himself in real life. I've put all the sliders all the way up, put crash boards all the way up but nothing works. I can't even count the number of times I've seen some 6'1" guard rip the ball outta Noah's hands. Or Noah having the ball go right through his hands. It's pretty ridiculous and I dont understand why 2k does it this way.

Box out and position yourself better.

I agree with the repliers....rebounding actually feels really good, and the players actually box out.

Come on guys, if you haven't noticed that offensive rebounding is broken against the computer then you must be playing another game. I play 12 minute quarters with the Bulls and barely get 5 or 6, and this is with all the sliders at 100. You guys are telling me I'm that bad at this game? I intentionnaly throw up shots when I see a man in position to grab the rebound, and the ball either goes right through his hands or some 6 foot guard goes over him to snatch it from him. And the cpu never gets a good amount of offensive boards against me either, they get more than me, but I've never seen them get over 10....again on 12 minute quarters. I know I'm not the only one seeing this, I've seen numerous threads about this. But I just don't understand wht 2K won't address it, or at least give an explanaition as to why its like this.

Honestly, I feel as though I sometimes get too many offensive rebounds in a game. But more often than not, it feels just about right. And, I am not saying you are bad at the game, because you are likely better than me.

Try sticking with one player. I play 6min quarters with my player PF and avg ~6 OFF reb a game. Its all about position and timing. Even with a 60 off reb rating
superstar diff. btw

Rebounding feels good, but its lop-sided towards the defensive-side

teams often get as many as 15-20 offensive boards in a game... never on 2k11
