Comeback Feature/Momentum swings are making me throw this game into the dumpster

[IUxHOOSIERS]

I know it has been mentioned on here countless times. So if you are tired of hearing about it, just leave now.

I am seriously thinking about doing some sort of experiment/research with the biggest flaw of NBA 2k14. I noticed the momentum swings right away when I first started playing this game and a lot of people on here thought I was crazy for believing in such a thing. A few of you noticed it too, I will say.

I play exclusively online (for money actually). I can't even count how many total games I have played. The 2k developers can say what they want, but I know for a fact there is such a thing as a comeback feature. And if you've played enough, you should notice it.

Now I understand comebacks and momentum swings happen in real life, I GET IT. I've watched enough basketball to realize that, and I know this is just a video game. But when I say I would rather be down by 5 with 2min left than be up by 5, you know something is wrong.

This also may sound crazy, but I am 99% confident that the sliders CHANGE on their own during these momentum swings. For example, if I am in a comeback feature against a guy online, instead of the sliders being on 50 (or whatever the default is), they will automatically go up to a number like 70 or 75 and allow me to hit more shots, get lucky strip steals, blocks, etc. so I can comeback. I know I'm going out on a limb saying that, but I'm a big believer that is the case when it comes to momentum swings.

I haven't played the next gen version yet, but I really hope this type of B.S isn't on there. The developers of 2k14 can say whatever they want about how there is no such thing as a comeback feature or huge momentum swings. But I've played this game enough to realize there are.

But you won't be able to do "some sort of experiment/research" if you "throw this game into the dumpster".

It happens in blacktop also, if you are down 6-8 points just throw up 3s (2pointers in blacktop) and they WILL go in. Also playing online I use the Mavs and I will be up 12-15 points heading into the 4th quarter and all of sudden I cant make a lay up, I "pass" the ball out of bounds. miss wide open jumpers, meanwhile some no named bench player for the other guy is hitting contested 3 pointers...I feel your pain...

yeah its pretty bad, I can already tell when im goona lose. For example I can be down 8-10 going in the 4th quarter but I am always able to rally to a 4-6 point lead. Then everything just goes downhill from there, lol. Easy missed shots, opponent making all the shots in the world, etc. However, I think the worst part is the defense, idk if its just me but wow the team defense just goes full stupid when the opponent has the momentum. I on ball so sometimes I get beat by those zig zag animation BS and my bigs refuse to rotate, instead they just watch him go by why stick to the center they're guarding whose usually in the perimeter. I mean come on, what's a center going to do on the perimeter? Not to mention my wing players sag off like crazy, Not getting back on defense which equals = FB points galore.. it's really frustrating sometimes

yeah im finding it ridiculous also that I make a lot more contested jumpers than I make wide open. I blow wide open lay ups. my team doesn't react to grab rebounds or loose balls. it kills me

Pretty sure this happened to me last night in a Game 7 in the playoffs. I had a 7 point lead with 2:30 to go as the Spurs and the Blazers came back and send the game to OT with a Nic Batum near 3/4 court shot. This was after I missed 2 free throws with my PG despite getting A- grades on both of them. I ended up losing by 3 in OT.

Not to mention randomly losing the ball or playing good defense just to get a bs kick ball within the last second of the shot clock
