This. That "recover" animation is ridiculous, players are looking like they are drunk and on ice. It may take two seconds, but it feels like minutes when you try to get the ball back asap, considering the fact that you shouldn't have lost the ball because of some random collision.

That is something I kind of touched on with this comment in the first post

"you can't possibly see all the excessive bumping (animation stopped for like 2 seconds) as realistic"

Excessive bumping in the game gets you caught in animations like that as well, but its even more frustrating when it happens on a move with a great ball handler, and the bump dislodges the ball, and you as the offensive player are stuck in that animation for a solid 1-2 seconds, and the defender easily gets to the ball and is way ahead before you can catch up.

The excessive bumping in the game really ruins the flow.

Although, I do want to point something out.

I put one of the original .EXE's in the game, and turned body up sensitivity to 0 for user and computer, and it SOMEWHAT helps. It isn't as bad... but its still there.

Interestingly enough I tried the game speed at 60 and for some reason I feel like I'm seeing a lot of new things - new animations, players playing better...

I am playing at game speed 53.

60 felt a bit too fast, and the clock moves so much faster... I might try it again when I get home though.

I tried 70 as well and that felt too fast for me.

I'd love if someone from the dev team did dev blog/diary explaining some of these settings. It has interesting effects on the game and that would be great to explain in-depth.

It speeds up the WHOLE GAME, that's why the clock will move faster and faster as you up the game speed. It sucks, because lets say you think you have a second left, and you think of it in real time, you are not even going to get close to getting off the shot, because the clock is so much faster.

Its why I don't like upping the game speed.

I had an enjoyable game last night, with only a couple frustrations. Old .EXE, Speed at 53, Hall of Fame settings as a base with the following adjustments (User/CPU mirrored):

Off Reb: 40
Def Reb: 65
Body up Sensitivity: 0
Fatigue Rate: 40
Ball Security: 65
Def Shot (gather and Release): 25

I also mirrored the shooting for CPU/USER (With CPU as the base for shooting, the default HOF CPU shooting).

FG% for both teams were right around 49%, Realistic rebounds (One team had 13 Off Reb, the other team had 11).

You guys can give that a try, it was pretty solid.

Iam actually going to trade in my copy of 2k17 tomorrow before the price drops right down, it's not that it's a bad game or anything it's just for me I feel like I am playing the same game that they released 3 years ago and all the annoying stupid stuff is still there today which just kills it for me, I still have 2k16 on the ps4 hard drive so that's basically the same but I think I need to see a lot of gameplay changes for offline play before I buy my next 2k game.

It plays better than 2K16 with the old .EXE. but yes, all of those legacy issues still exist. And MANY of the annoyances I mentioned in the first post still exist.

Well it was a day later than I said but today I sold my copy of 2k17 while the trade in price was reasonable.

Playing offline there was just too much cheese for me and so many issues with cpu teammates bad defensive AI adding to dumb slow motion passes, two man mocapped animations that drag you in, cpu chasing you down either to block or foul you on the break when your clearly wayyyy ahead and something else that has always bugged me is that I run a lot of plays in my league games and so many times either the play on court display didn't show up so you had to call it again or the fact that your teammates would just stop running it and you end up having to take a bad shot. It didn't used to be like this till about 2k15 I first noticed it and it's still there today just like my biggest pet hate LOSING THE BALL OFF YOUR GOD DAMM OFF YOUR ASS among other things when your dribbling just makes me rage quit.

In my eyes 2k is starting to make some of the same mistakes that lead to nba live falling off the top, some would disagree but I myself switched from Live to 2k fully in 2008 and I never thought that EA would let things slip like they did with such loyal fans but they did when they knew that no matter what they put out they had people's money and I see that happening again.

2k figures there is no competition right now so people will continue to put outs large chunks of $ for their game, even though it gets worse and worse. I am really pulling for EA to get back in the game.

if you increase the game speed, decrease both speed and acceleration in the sliders that will take away some of the turbo feel from the game and set a nicer pace. i set game speed at 65 with speed and acceleration at 5 and have noticed better gameplay and some new animations. scoring also went down by quarter from high 20's to high 30's to 17 to 26 range which finally gave me the realistic scores i've been looking for.

give it a try and see if it works for you.

Again, this doesn't fix the unrealistic slow animations compared to other animations. A lot of the speeds of certain animations are just out of whack, plain and simple. For example, no matter how much you turn up the game speed, it doesn't change the slow motion dunk and layup animations, they are still far too slow compared to the defender coming over, making you get blocked even if you have MANY steps on the defenders. Just because you up the game speed doesn't change things like that.

It also doesn't change the body steals/body blocks, which is a huge problem. The ball being so loose in players hands is so unrealistic, players drop and lose the ball ALL THE TIME for no reason. Again, the speed does nothing to fix this.

It also doesn't fix the passing. The players still throw ridiculously slow lob passes for no reason that are easily picked off. Another issue with the passing is: I use icon passing most of the time, but when I don't, Ill have the guy I am passing to about 10 feet from me, and ill pass in that direction, and for some unknown reason the ball sails over his head to my other offensive player on the other side of the floor, and it gets picked off. If I want to avoid this, I basically have to use ICON passing 100% of the time. Again, the game speed doesn't change that.

It also doesn't fix the delay when calling a play. A few plays the players go into motion realistically, but most plays it takes forever for the players to get setup because they are getting stuck on eachother and stuck in animations all over the floor.

You guys seems to be stuck on the game speed thing, you guys need to see the big picture. Adjusting the games speed doesn't fix any of the issues I just stated above. In fact, it speeds up the game clock a lot which creates unrealistic seconds.

I only play mycareer so I don't know how the other modes play.

So, I got accused of "allowing an offensive rebound". I watched the instant replay, backward, forward, slow motion, etc. What I saw was the offensive player behind me and my teammate. My teammate and I were shoulder to shoulder. We had our back to the offensive player and the ball was in front of me. Suddenly I saw two arms come through my body and grab the ball. How is this me "allowing an offensive rebound?"

Everyone should watch a lot more replays to see just how bad the animations, foul calls, and plays, such as rebounds, really are. Also check out the ball physics on baskets. I have seen balls hit the lower outside part of the rim, which physics say should cause the ball to leave the rim at a downward trajectory. But, I get under the basket for the rebound and suddenly the ball goes UP and in. Anything to keep me from getting a rebound. And this is not an event that happens rarely. It is pretty constant. I even wait a bit to see if the ball is going to be a miss, then I'll go under for the rebound and HA...it changes and goes in the basket. BS. It decides ahead of time what the ball will do in reaction to what the human's reaction is. If you're not a good rebounder the ball will either go in or bounce off the rim, way over your head to someone behind you. That does happen IRL, but not with the types of shots I attempt to rebound. Most people can get a pretty good idea where a shot will go if it doesn't go in. It's not rocket science.

I've also noticed how much better opponents shoot when I'm on the floor compared to when I'm not, even when none of the shots are from the player I am defending. On the other hand I have noticed how my teammates, suddenly, can't hit even the easiest open shots when I'm on the floor, especially when I, as a HOF dimer, passes it to them. A way for the game to keep assists numbers down. In the mean time, opponents make 3-pointers with me and two of my teammates all in their face as if there was no defense there at all.

And again, I saw a teammate get a charging call when the defender was sidestepping into him. A little later I was set to draw a charge and lo and behold, I get the foul.

The foul calling in this version is atrocious.

Next, when I am doing a great job of avoiding turnovers, at some point the game takes over and causes 3 or 4 quick turnovers on my part by running my player out of bounds or having him continue to step backwards for a back court call even though I have my stick pointing in the direction of the basket the entire time, and of course, the famous getting called for a charge against a moving (and sometimes in the air) opponent, or the other famous thing, when passing the ball it goes the opposite direction from where you have your stick pointing. What kind of garbage is that? BS.

If I leave an opponent open, regardless of how crappy he is, they hit the shot around 90% of the time. But me and my teammates can't hit open shots half the time. Right.

Of course, the human player can't keep up with the AI players so the game plan is always to attack the human defender regardless of how good a defender he is supposed to be. I haven't seen where defensive ratings make any difference.

Speaking of defense. Watching Isaiah Thomas leap way WAY up in the air to intercept alley-oops passes. And he's not even at the basket. He's between half way and 3/4 of the way there. But many players can intercept those. Not me or my teammates, of course, but opponents are supermen.

I see opponents passes cut right through me or teammates. I've seen a pass get to an opponent under the basket when me and two of my teammates were right there in front of him. Do you think that happens when we have the ball? Of course not.

Also with passing and turnovers. I recently got charged with a turnover when a pass was thrown to me in the paint but somehow the ball ended off in the hand of the defender who was behind me. Huh?

We don't have the magic ability to reach from long distance and somehow have the ball land in our hand. But then, they throw passes that are faster than the ones me or my teammates can throw.

Next, how is it the me, a 6'5", 240 lb player can't move anyone, even players like Isaiah Thomas? Guys who are 50 lbs lighter than me, strength ratings in the 30's compared to mine in the 80's, can stand there and I can't budge them at all. Never. BS.

Teammate passing. What a freaking joke. They don't know how to throw lob or bounce passes. They will throw a pass right into the chest of a guy standing in front of them.

The turbo button is useless now. Try to use it and your player freezes briefly and/or runs into someone and can't get unstuck or runs a different direction from where you are trying to go.

You get sucked into animations from across the court, literally. I have seen my player run from the corner to the top of the key only to wrap his arms around a player for a foul. Cute, especially since I wasn't even holding the controller at the time.

My teammates are the ones who keep knocking me off the player I'm supposed to be defending. I get around opponent screens just fine but only long enough for one of my teammates to block me instead.

What has happened, in an effort to keep human players from cheating, the programmers have built a cheating AI. Cheating is cheating no matter who or what does it. You are not playing basketball. Not really. What you are playing is the developers idea of what basketball is but it bears little resemblance to the real thing.

The developers have determined what you can and can't do and allows the opposing team to do things you and your teammates are not allowed to do.

Any number of things that real life players can do have been eliminated or drastically changed in the game in an effort to prevent people from "cheesing". So it's the "game", and I use that term loosely, that is full of cheese.

This game is really trash. It sure isn't fun.

They need to get the some programmers who are older than 12 years old and know what basketball is. This current bunch has no clue.

Please EA, get NBA Live up to par so we have a legitimate option to this joke of a "game".

I can certainly relate to a lot of those issues. The grading logic lacks context, no question; the "Allow Offensive Rebound" penalty is definitely a good example of that.

Been hearing this a lot lately from him but Clark Kellogg seems to be under the impression that Vince Carter led the Nets to a pair of NBA Finals.

Speaking of the commentary the fact that it wasn't recorded together is more obvious than ever. And stuff like having Doris Burke list her best point guards or Chris Webber talk about big guys every game doesn't really make things seem more realistic. Though I do like how Kevin Harlan's response is to basically say "great" and pretend the conversation never happened. And it's funny when a guy will completely disappear for a while, it often feels like Brent Barry or Steve Smith left and then came back suddenly that I forget they were there.

Earlier in the thread mentioned the highlights, I like how they aren't of the quarter listed, and sometimes the player of the game highlights are completely nonsensical of guys standing, guys running without the ball, etc. It's been like this for a while. I miss the last gen SIGNATURE HIGHLIGHTS where you actually could see every assist and baskets and crap. Now it's more likely to camera zoom all over the stadium as some steal happens somewhere else then dump you back to the menu.

Also my new favorite crowd call is no longer the woman going FREE! THROWS! but when a fan yells out "GO HOME [TEAM}!" and it's the home team.

I wonder if it happens on the consoles, but sometimes the intro with Ernie and Shaq and Kenny where it displays the teams and their star player, sometimes it'll just fly through these in like half a second. It appears to be tied to how long the loading takes.

Lastly, how do I fine all my players for doing that "keep going" hand motion after they score a basket. It's even spread backwards in time and Bill Russell does it. An epidemic!
