Why does the ball get knocked loose so often in 2K17?

I'm basically wondering why I drop so many passes right after I catch it.

There's also the grope-steal animation that I've mentioned (which happens while you're driving for a layup).

These are professional basketball players with a very good feel for the ball. They shouldn't be dropping the ball so often.

Can 2K remove this crazy idea that the ball needs to be dropped for steals/turnovers?

It's how 2K plays defense.

Bump animations and strip animations.

It was worse last year.

I was just about to make a thread about this

Ball security is absolutely horrific in this game

I'll just be dribbling up the court and bounce it off my foot

Did they buff steals in the paint? In pro am my bigs can hardly hold onto the ball anymore. It's like an instant loose ball. I've seen them pump fake, try to go back up only to get caught in an animation that makes their player freeze and lose the ball.

Yeah I have no clue what's going on with my game, but I'm seeing tons of bobbled and dropped passes. Everything is out of sync and laggy for me in PNO.

Lol the ball is selectively live. Opposing cpu players can dribble recklessly into the paint and through my players but my CPU players make 1 or 2 dribbles into the paint and the ball is bouncing around and my guys are flailing around like idiots trying to find the ball.
