NBA 2K15: The Park's Scoring Needs To Change

10:32 AM - February 11, 2015 by RaychelSnr

Five feet, ten inches has been my height since junior high. To make up for my lack of size, one trick I often employed in pickup games was to ask the other players if we could score the contest with one-point and two-point shots, instead of the standard two-point and three-point shots. Most people would accept that rule change without any pushback, not realizing that they'd just agreed to give a smaller, perimeter-oriented player like myself a statistical advantage.

I wish 2k would bring back the clear out/elbow swing from the old dreamcast days. Back then, you could swing your arms after rebounds to clear space and avoid rips. I don't know how many times I have gotten a timely defensive/offensive rebound and 2-3 defenders reach in spamming the steal button repeatedly before I can even gather myself after coming back down to pass. They would have to balance that with animations. You don't want great offensive rebounders in the game to be able to automatically move you out of the way to pull off easy dunks at the rim and you don't want guys being able to reach in at will and not suffer any consequences..

Believe me, we've broken it down many times with the dev. team. They're very aware and I'm confident this should be the last year you see this type of thing.

I hope the an in-detail explanation of the changes will be made available for the public; how the system has changed, how caps will work, consequences of different choices, what are the limitations, etc.

It is very frustrating than getting 100+ hours into something only to find out it doesn't work how you thought it did and it's because the game creators were vague on the explanation. To be clear that's not meant to be accusatory, it's just a concern I have as a historically loyal consumer.

Completely agreed, I get a lot of rebounds and I kick almost all of them because safe putbacks aren't always as safe as they should be.

Like KD said to Wade, "You're too small!"

If you play defense well you won't have to worry about those outside shots...

im glad 2k is addressing 7fts for 2k16. They are pretty ridiculous this year

Why does 2K make stuff that is so simple be so hard? Whoever came up with the waiting in the rec should be fired right now. The wait times are ridiculous! And if you do wait for that 30-40 minutes, the team on the court usually gets off and you're STILL waiting. The charge cheese is still on the game, just not backcourt. You get to half court and you're sucked into a charge even if you're going the opposite way. No one should be 7ft and moving like a two guard. The rebounding sucks. The playing for upgrades suck. The shooting sucks. I can't make a wide open jumper in a hotspot, yet someone else can make one fading away or hopping behind the line in the corner? Step inside the 3 point line it's an excellent release, behind it it's always slightly early, slightly late. It's so much BS in that game. Soooooo much animation. Every year the same thing. Corny my player story. Buying vc shouldn't even exist. I get you want extra money. And who wants to play as a mascot? Putting stuff like that in a game is why 2K is what it is. Focuse on gameplay and not stuff like that. And why isn't standing out of bounds in the paint 3 seconds? It is in the NBA. People just abuse it. I don't even know why I typed this, none of it will change.
