And the Double Team setting is hilariously broken.
2k21 mt xbox one Game begins, I set up 10 points and team for the game doubles. Even if we're up by 30 points with 6 seconds left in the conclusion of the game and I'm just hoping to hold the ball to run the clock to end the game... they double team me as if I'm trying to score? Realism seems like it has been completely thrown in the garbage. The AI looks as though it was developed to make things harder for the shooting badge grinders that do not take care of NBA Career and just use it to improve badges for Rec/Park by chucking up shots all game. Don't punish the men and women who actually enjoy NBA Career and wish to play how their character was built. It's like we're not allowed to have fun anymore.
Make the courtroom bigger or decrease stride length. In due to game design although court spacing has been an issue for years due to playerbase. Turning the corner against the protector almost always puts you at the direct route of a bump steal or dig unless you are baseline/sideline. It also is far too quick to go sideline to sideline and simple to clog driving lanes.
It always feels as though the game forces you to dribble into or shoot in certain spots of the courtroom, I feel this has existed in past 2k's too. Career would profit although this suggestion applies more so to MyPark. This should allow people to be more effective driving to the basket and provide big men with better place up opportunities. It would vastly make offense and defense more fluid and dynamic. More space to dodge screens, play mid size, place up, drive to the basket,etc.. We would not need to play with game after game.
This is way more prominent in MyCareer but occurs in Park as well with defenders who are overcome without momentum moves along with loose balls/rebounding. I really don't see reason behind this exist in any way, if the AI is getting ruined then it is getting destroyed. Don't alter the game's mechanisms to refuse or score points, it is built cheating.
Reduce chunk magnetism on cubes and loose balls. In my experience across multiple years of 2k including this one, the
buy 2k21 mt vast majority of balls poked lose or blocked (70%+) return into the offense either to the culprit or just like magic directly to another teammate like it was a pass. It is unrealistic to always have a sneak and that is perfectly fine but the disparity is pretty huge and it transforms to the previous suggestion of game breaking physics. You go just to have the crime get it and you are in bad position. An intermediate alternative maybe is to decrease the frequency of balls poked and rather give the body up cartoon.
