Make fast breaks possible again. Also, if I block a CPU jumpshot one more time to only see it roll off their face for another jumper or fly perfectly to a teammate for an open shot I'll lose it.

I just hope this last patch dont break things, they have a habit of making things worse at times with last patches for gameplay. Im just leary they will break something that will make the game useless, so you have to go buy nexr yrs game, with it being so late into the season now. Im really surprised that as late as it is, they would put out another patch. I hope it improves the game, and if it does hats off to them, but I do have my doubts with them doing this, that it will end up being a good thing for the game.

Remove the shot-aiming feature if you want to nerf shooting.

I would be happy with making 50/50 balls somewhat realistic. So many good defensive plays result in the offense getting the ball back with an even better shot than the original one. Also, please fix the AI ability to matchup after made baskets. It is so infuriating to have to sprint back like a moron after made baskets and switch to 3 different players to keep the turbo abusers from getting a wide open shot. Those 2 fixes would satisfy me.

I play mostly MyLeague this year.
After so many patches, the most annoying bugs for me are still (not gameplay-relatet though):

1. Substitutions are often not performed as I said they should, so I have to waste another timeout to make the game get it right. Hard to believe that a bug like this would still be in at this point.

2. Everything takes too long during a game. Why do I have to wait untill some commentator finishes his sentence before I can inbound the ball or shoot a free-throw? Or why can't i skip a timeout completely, immediatly, if I do not want to make any changes? I find myself spamming buttons all the time, to try and skip so many things.
I don't have a lot of time, so if i want to play I want to PLAY. Not watch scenes and be forced to wait, wait, wait.

I might think of more later.

Edit (just adding what others have mentioned and I forgot to, but totally agree):
3. Of course, how could i forget the frequent step back jumpers with no defender around by the AI. Good point.

4. Oh yes, and the automatic "covering the basket" on opponent fast breaks, especially usefull when matched up against an all time great 3pt-shooter.

Defense:

On fastbreaks or any transition defense stop dropping the PG in the middle of the paint to stop the layup, he is playing defense on an area not a man . This is destroying my defense, open threes and is messes up my defense rotation.

Fix loss of momentum animations. Examples:

-chase down blocks
-outlet passes (feels like the pass has to complete before I can begin movement)
-close outs

# 68 cthurt @ 04/03/17 12:23 PM

I just want to be able to drive past my defender without an auto post up animation happening not sure why it hasnt been patched out the game yet

And add another 20 minutes to loading the game?

Player movement on D. Player should be able to stop and not feel like a "semi truck" with sluggish controls.

When running back on Defence that ridiculous "trot" and 180 degree at half speed has got to go. Turing around shouldn't feel so robotic these are NBA players.

CPU double teams. you really should remove the red circles under the players because player shouldn't know its coming! Player should be aware and make a decision based on the players playing D, not a bright circle warning them it's coming.

I believe another member brought up the player running under the hoop to prevent the layup/dunk...leaving player B open to 3pts/mid ranges all day long. and with CPU logic not picking up that assignment makes transition D very stressful.

If these issues are fixed you're on the way to a beautiful basketball game.
Thanks for looking into another patch BTW.

WHY ON EARTH! IS DEANDRE JORDAN SPRINTING to the corner 3

on a 2 on 1 Fastbreak!!!

This is what happens when you watch GSW Highlights, You get Deandre Ready to pop 3s, you get Bigs doing step back three animations from the mid to the 3 point line.

^^^This X1000!

And I think to balance it out they made the fastbreak DEFENSE just as bad. Everybody runs to the paint. Man, looking through this list there's A LOT wrong with this game because I couldn't agree more with all of it.

# 72 jackzagal @ 04/03/17 02:04 PM

- Stupid and pointless double teams when a player hasn't even taken a shot in minutes. And along with that, improve the rotations of team mates so one can be open, instead of all of them "magically" making cuts that make no sense so you can't pass it to them properly.

- Unnecessary step-back jumpers by a CPU player whe he is WIDE OPEN for an easy shot. It's especially infuriating when it happens with players that are only catch-and-shoot shooters, but it happens with almost everyone. Even more stupid than double teams.

- Improve the AI defensive logic, especially on (supposedly) good defensive players. It's so frustrating to see people like Jimmy Butler or Justice Young ( 90+ defensive attributes) inexplicably go to the paint and leave players completely open; a few days ago while playing MC, Anthony Morrow nailed at least 3 wide-open threes on that kind of situations

- That stupid play when you make a steal and half a second later the opposite player magically recovers it, usually ending up in a foul and/or a basket. It started to happen really often since last few patches.

need to patch AI unnecessary step backs.

I stopped playing this game due to kicking it out to a wide open AI shooter, only to have them take a slow clumsy step back, allowing the defender to close in, and then taking a much worse contested long ball after turning down an open jumper. its maddening.

need to patch AI forcing the ball into the paint.

if the AI detects a foot of space separating the defender in the paint it will throw what looks like an ill advised pass into the paint for the easy score. no time to press x for a steal, its like the AI is trolling the user. We play against the AI to avoid human cheese, not have to suffer through it offline too. until proper automatic (depending on D awareness) defensive deny and deflect pass animations are programmed into this game on cutters etc then the forcing the ball into the paint needs to be dialed down to only when they are sound basketball passes to open players in the paint.

Please fix the load of the game! I am staring at logos for too long. I don't care if you fix anything else.

# 75 hanzsomehanz @ 04/03/17 02:48 PM

Fouling out (on 3rd foul) in Park

It'd put more importance and value on defensive builds and defensive skilled players. 3 strikes and you're out. The game is to 21 so 3 is reasonable.

Disable inbound steals / interference on 21 in Park

Why this is permitted still is beyond my understanding. It's terrible sportsmanship and is clearly cheating. Both defenders should be disabled from moving until the ball is clearly unbounded. VC and record is on the line and this cheating is still allowed.

Allow us to freely use intense D in 21

At random moments your player is disabled from using intense defense. I only experience this in 21 where my player is unable to assume the intense defensive stance.

The animation that has the defender fall forward after the drop and seal?

If this is it, I've seen non post scorers get this animation including builds with base strength.

Great idea. 2kTv could poll us - they already have trivia in there that keeps a poll on the stats.

Dude...if it's taking 15-30 minutes to start your game then you need to get a new console as something must be wrong with yours.

It's something with the game. Back in December I could not get past team logo screen most days. Then it was fixed sometime around late December early January. Now, I'm stuck staring at the Paul George home screen while the little basketball thing loads up, sometimes even returning an error of not being able to connect to the 2K servers or something. It's the game.

^ I have the same problem and frequently have to uninstall or clear reserved space.

With respect to Park, I am having an issue as of late where I load into the park but I cannot see players for almost 10 minutes. Players are literally invisible. Games are actively going on because I see basketballs moving on each court. If that could be addressed that would be great.

Please fix walk-on so that each and every one of your squad members makes it to the pro am.

Do something about the responsiveness of defensive movement to controller input. As others have mentioned it's too sluggish. Right now defense doesn't have all of the tools to compete fairly with the offense. Some of this can be changed if the game mechanics are changed. What happened to being able to "hold" on defense to help with cutting sharpshooters?
