Do you also find knockdowns ridiculous?

[SkyLine03LT]

Those are kind of unrealistic feature to the game (if you dont know what Im talking about- when an offensive player shoots, the defender runs to him with tryina contest the shot, and bumps into him as he just released the shot, knocking him on the ground). I played against Kings today, and I knocked down Donte Greene. He got injured, but there was no foul, and there never is for such a thing.

well they happen way too much that is for sure.

and on a few of em even back in the day there would be a foul called, hell now days there would be fouls on every one of those bumps.

injuries i turn them off, after 2k10 when our mod jordan with 99 durability got injured in the first game of the season in franchise mode on some silly foul going to the hoop i was ok f this. that injury would have kept him out like 2 months to boot. even turning injuries down it seemed there was way to many major injuries that happened way too often. something that most nba games just overdo imo yea you get sprained ankles and wrists and bad backs and gimpy knees and broken fingers and toes, but really major injuries are damn rare, and the major superstars would rather crawl onto a court and play than miss a damn game.

hence injroies are off until some day sports games learn to simulate minor injuries and treatments and tone down the season ruining injuries.

I know what you mean In that game vs Kings there were 4 injuries: Evans achilles out 2 weeks, greene something with his back out 2 weeks, Garcia broken wrist out 2 months, JR smith also hurt his wrist. So far 3 games played and 6 injuries occurred.

yea it is silly especially when your superstar that barely has missed any game in their entire career goes down. really most injuries in basketball you tape up and play. maybe a bad back you sit out a few games, or you get cortizone injections and heat treatments, electrolisis and play at some dimished capacity depending on the player.

be really nice of we got the tape ups, and face, wrist, knee guards as players went thru the seasons and got those nagging injuries that pile up over the course of the year. even players having ratings for specific types of injuries and severity and how much they effect play.

but that is one thing all sport game makers need to take a look at and overhaul badly to make a true nba sim.
