Nba2k12= lack of physical play.

[thugnificant]

Watching the knicks /celtics game i am noticing alot of physical play by starters and rookies. Mello doesnt have the freedom to run to a open spot onf the court for a easy jumper because defenders are bodying him up. Amare has to shoot long range because KG wont physically let him get in post position due to pushing with forearm and hand checking.

This was represented well in 2k11 but we all remember peoples "stop bumping me " complaints but i see ALOT of that in the game i am watching now. 2k12 is so free flowing that none of the physical contact that we had in 2k11 is there. ITs to easy to "AND-1" your way to a open shot on the perimeter or float to lane for a layup without any contact or do continuous successful pull up jumpers with below average shooters regardless of their "abilities". Tony allen can hit pullups in this game and EVERYONE knows he cant shoot if his life depended on it .

My question is what happened to 2k bball? I the lack of physical play due to people complaints or because the devs wanted to make it easier for people to do what they want on the court?

everyones fav move in 2k11 online was hopstep because it was only way to get to basket due to physical defense but now you just do dunks over 3 defenders with ease.

what happened with 2k12?

It's better than players suctioning into defenders and not being able to get off.

not valid comment. THe lack of physial play allows for people to score to easy on offense especially in paint off of post moves. I would rather have defense than streetball . nba scrimages are the non physical , show boat games not the regular season games. When you can easily score from layups in crowded paint without being touched there is a problem. All that complaining about to much contact is because people prefer to go star player 1 on 1 isolation instead of team ball. Watch the knicks game and put in 2k11 and see how similar they are. Now go put in 2k12 and score 80 point with one player online or watch durant dunk over gasol, bynum, kobe, and artest with ease.

If you dont like a challenge thats your problem but the sim nation is supposed to want it as realistic as possible , I am watching mello right now and he is getting bumped offball and on ball by defenders but his skill gets him a high % shot.

My biggest complaint with 2K12 easily..While it's an upgrade presentation wise it took a complete backwards step as far as the "physicality" being represented in the game..The hard fouls , contact in the pain, hard layup and shooting fouls have been completely nurfed in 2k12..2k11 had it right ..

Agree, 2k11 was much better and more realistic in terms of its physical play. 2k12 seems like it got dummy downed.

2k12 lacks phyical play but the reason was people complained about it last year.People dont remember complaining about it.There was contact but i was mad unrealistic (ex Nate robinson triggering an animation against a C like Howard to make an easy under the hoop score into a contest shot).Im assuming they couldnt fix many of them so they just got rid of them.

thats the problem they removed something vital to the defense and now its just turbo into defenders and trigger layup animation without contact. Hopefully they get in right in 2k13 because 2k12 is pitiful in this aspect. Its more like streetball now. I can take terrance williams in the paint and score with ease over dwight because i will do a highlight dunk on him every time. 2k11 had it right and you are correct. THey didnt take the time to fix it so the contact is dependent on the players involved but now we have a layup drill with arcade dunks over proven shot blockers. the ease of getting by for open jumper on the perimenter is even worse. Its all pullup jumpers by people who rarely even attempt them IRL.
