WHy is passing so difficult?

[HighFlyinkilla]

Even the simplest of passes always seem to get picked off or knocked out bounds. Fasts break are almost impossible unless you are the Heat. Almost every time I have a open man cutting to the basket the it either goes to the wrong guy or the pass is deliberately thrown into a defender. There is no option for a quick pass its either a slow lob are useless bounce pass into a defenders foot. Icon passing is even worse its always so slow it lets the defender pick it off every time.

Im beginning to really get frustrated with this damn game.

its called line of site.
i was having issues with passing, until I started realizing that line of site is key. errant passes are caused by throwing the worng type of pass. you have to take into account not only the player you are passing to but the other players and whta they are doing or intend to do.

problem solved.

Playing on 2K cam might help with this I think.

The AI can definitely mess with you sometimes (you throw a bounce pass to a 7-footer being fronted by a guard) but players IRL do dumb stuff like that sometimes too. If you keep the ball in the hands of the better rated passers you will see it less.

But overall when I hear these complaints I think people tend to underestimate the difficulty of throwing any kind of pass against NBA defense -- there are many NBA players who can barely do it. Watch Brandon Bass try to make a pass in traffic some time.

And when I review my own game footage on gametrack it sometimes surprises me how many questionable passes don't get picked off because the AI saved me from myself.

2k cam helps. Also the passing has never been good in NBA 2k. After playing awhile you will get better and passing wont be so bad.

Im playing a season with 10 min quarters and Damian Lillard is my PG and Im putting up 14ppg and 10 assists with him. I also have Even Turner and hes getting 5 apg. But he gets some minutes at back up point too.
