Just copped this on sale …not going to lie ..this might be one of the worst 2K’s I’ve ever played when it comes to player movement and animations …everything feels extremely delayed and automated ….passing to a player coming off a screen and half the time he does some baked in animation before I can control when he shoots …same thing when driving …dudes will miss their open look because they have to do some long canned gather animation THEN get into the shot attempt… attacking the lane guys walk instead of running …getting up and down the court my team walks instead of jogging ….its just terribly slow and static ….not responsive at all sadly

Also why can’t you use the D pad to make on the fly defensive adjustments anymore? Did they just remove that feature or is this shyt glitched out

Ima give it a week and see, but man this shyt is ruffff.... Defense is also a joke....CPU can literally morph through you due to canned animations not being able to be interrupted....shyt is sad man... I thought they'd at least improve on that from '24....'23 Played so much smoother than this as well.... I just don't get what they were trying to do here

When did you play it? They literally just patched the game yesterday and that hitch between shooting on the catch is gone.

At launch, I felt like the game played as well as any 2k game I’ve ever played. At some point tho, it became harder to drive to the paint with elite slashers in one on one situations. Like if I had MJ and Mark Price was on me, he would wall me up when before that never happened. Also, started seeing some trailing defenders force me into a layup after I had them beat. Before, it would be a clear dunk because the lane was wide open.

The patch seemed to have reverted it back to how it was (so far) as far as driving, but my main thing is layups missing that shouldn’t and hook shots being harder to make than 3s. It has nothing to do with my skills either. Even the CPU is missing bunnies.

Also y'all ain't out here using rosters from creators?

It's like 5 guys who completely fully edited each players attributes and tendencies for them to play as better and real as possible, I been talking about this, but y'all n-gga's wanna be on some James Evans shyt and be proud.

The default roster has nothing to do with what I’m talking about. Like with the hook shots for example, Kareem has a 99 hook shot rating and a 94 close shot rating. I can make standing close shots automatically in practice mode (no defenders), but when I attempt a hook shot from 4ft away, they don’t go in consistently. Those should be automatic, especially when there’s no defense. He’s an all time great who has an unstoppable move, but 2k makes this shot more difficult than it needs to be. Even on real player %, those shots miss. If I’m missing these shots that SHOULD be automatic in practice, what’s going to happen when he’s being defended by another 7fter? It wasn’t like this in 2k24 at all. If you attempted a hook shot with someone of Kareem’s caliber from close range, the window was so wide that it was damn near impossible to miss. And I emphasize…a hook shot from 4ft away with no defenders shouldn’t be a challenge whatsoever. Regular shots from that range are automatic, but ONLY the hook shots are difficult.

There's no frustration with play now. The frustration comes in with MyCareer, Jordan Rec, Mypark, Pro Am, and Myteam.

Those other game modes will have your hairline receding 20 years early.
I don’t fukk with the paint defense at all in PlayNow. Getting mashed by soft nikkas like Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen all game :scust: . I’m 16-0 and still won’t load this up until they fix paint d

The game is totally unbalanced now, and I praised it at launch. This patch made it so almost every open 3 goes in now. As far as scoring in the paint, it might be easy to make layups and drop step dunks, even fade aways. I'm finding it difficult to use centers like Kareem and Olajuwon because they made the hook shot window so narrow. Even if you have a mismatch and the shot registers as open, there's no guarantee you'll make a simple 4ft hook shot. You can't even make them in practice with no defender.
