2K Add a 6 foul limit system PLEASE! *Rant*

[Mackiaveliko]

I am a post scorer, I play in MyPark mostly for now. It's extremely frustrating for people to be SPAMMING square everytime I touch the damn ball! My opponents be having 11-12 fouls when they're not my height (PG,SG,SF etc). 2K Needs to add a system to penalize these type of players, it's annoying that I created a post scorer and I can't execute nothing because when people spam the square/steal button it gives me a stupid animation resulting in a foul!

Agree - to be fair it does decrease their teammate grade - but it's still very spammable and should be toned down. What they should so is either when a player reaches 4fouls - you get 2free throws for each foul that occurs after. Or they should increase the stamina drain for stealing attempts.

I don't know if it was 2k15 or 16. But after 6 fouls, they kicked you out.. they need this immediately! Most people don't care about their average grade. That won't stop the hacking

This. You're not getting no free buckets without getting hacked.

You could hack all you want, they still need to add a 6 foul limit.. it gets annoying, not being able to pull any moves because my opponent is busy tapping that square button

I don't even think he's being petty. His beef is legit.

Maybe I'm whining because I have a Post Scorer too. But it can be ridiculous. I played a game of 21 the other day in rivet and was fouled 25 times in total. TWENTY FIVE FOULS, one had 12, the other 13.

They have no reason to not foul you. There's no threat of being punished for a reckless steal attempt, and there is no reason to avoid racking up a ridiculous number of fouls if you're looking for the win.

I liked it better last year. The same thing would happen but after 4 or 5 fouls the guys would start to chill out. They didn't want to get kicked out of the game and it created a situation where you could tell they were trying to avoid fouling, which opened up things for my game. It made it easier to recognize who could actually play defense and who couldn't.

Right now these guys don't have to actually defend me. They just spam square without consequence and my only chance is to pass the ball out before the double team of swatting hands gets to me.

I am cool w/ it but maybe I am biased being w 6' PG that usually doesn't have a big man out there w/ me.

Being undersized and not being able to commit a foul or strip the bigs would make them even more dominant because they already getting the boards. So being able to easily execute post moves would be too much IMO. All I can think of is to make your move quick. I am cool w/ them leaving it the way it is.

Make better movements and cuts. Try pump faking and being more patient before trying to go up and score. Most C's get stripped because think they can just go straight up due to their size. Expect people to do everything they can to stop you when you're in the paint. The post scorer I run with rarely ever turn the ball over in the paint, most of the turnovers comes from passing down the court and the pass flying out of bounds. Pump faking works miracles in park.

Even when you get a guy isolated and post him up in good position, You literally cannot make a move before they foul you.

The better players in the park have this timed very well. They start spamming the button the second your player catches the ball. If you try to pump fake, spin, shimmy, or just protect the ball - you will get ripped or fouled. You can make a decision as fast as you want, as long as the defender is in position and spams square he'll get the best outcome because he will never be truly punished for fouling. Most of the time I'll catch the ball and I'll get fouled before I can even trigger one of my inputs.

I do think balance is important. And I think there is credence to the line of thinking that suggests maybe this is necessary to keep the game on an even playing field. I just think it's lame that I made a guy to score in the post with an archetype that 2K specifically made to score in the post, and I'm handicapped in the park because nobody has to respect the fouls.

This is a non issue in Pro-Am. If my opponent plays reckless he gets punished and eventually I'll finish the game against a neutered AI opponent.

THIS X1000!

It doesn't matter what I try to do, I consider my self an excellent post scorer I know all my moves. Yet they start spamming before I even get the ball. I made this character to post up, and get buckets and that is impossible. This game is all about "balance" and competitive gaming, well.. This needs to be addressed asap.

My solutions: Like in previous games, after 6 fouls they should be kicked out. (When they get 4-5 fouls they will be extremely careful, opening my game up.. I like this element of the game)

Or 1 free throw per foul after 6!

as a sf it's funny as hell when people try this bs with me . it's to the point where I'm yelling , I'M A SF ,FFS. STOP IT.

breaking your square button isn't defense. it's a bailout just like in real life. keep slapping up someone in a park game and unless he's tim Duncan , watch how fast **** gets real.

yes they lose grade for this but it's honestly not enough. I seen a team of 3 combine for more fouls than they had points one day ( 10 to 6) . bs like that extends a 6 min game to a 16 minute game. it's also part of the reason why I like it when they do the free throws house rules.

Someone from 2K seriously needs to see this. Us post scorers who have grinded to have everything HOF and grand badge are being hacked in the park. This needs to be looked at, balance is needed!

This. Anyone who says to react faster is completely missing the point. This is an issue. I don't see any downside to adding a limit to fouls. 11-12 fouls even in a real life pick-up game is ridiculous.

Like the post above said, this is a non-issue in Pro-Am, and there seems to be no opposition to that.

But OTOH, yes, that is good strategy to keep swiping if there's no consequence.

Re: 2K Add a 6 foul limit system PLEASE! *Rant*

I personally feel bad for you. I have encountered many times where I would be guarding a C 7'3 dominate me ( a sf 6'8) and I would purposely foul him if they came like completely under the rim. I don't think it's right for me to foul, but how is it fair for me to get bullied when they do a post dunk, That is completely unstoppable even when I time the block right or hold L2 and they still yam on me? Do I feel like they're should be a foul limit? Yes.
