IT has to be said, NBA2K 5 vs 5 Online is HORRIBLE .
so my question is. when if ever will they fix it?
to all those that play it or have played it alot and think its not that bad. thats because of few reasons.
#1 you have never seen a decent online basketball game where someones connection doesnt completely dictate the game.
This is the curse to 2k using so many animations vs using say real physics. There are so many animations being triggered. That the moment you run into people with shaky connections. Your animations will not trigger properly causing all sorts of glitches(blown layups with your guy getting cracked for no calls and the ball just drops on your head and bounces off of you. Or wild late errant passes that you made 2 minutes prior finally coming out of your hand. or the ice skating on defense.
#2 you are the one with the super bad connection so you think you're actually good because you blow by your man often. thinking its the dribble moves when its really just that super lag.
and last but not least. lets address the strategies that people use to win on 2k online 5vs 5.
It's 100% non basketball style play. They will shoot a ton of wild threes. not just dribble drive kick out, or dump it into the post then kick out, or the occasionally call the screen up to they go under you pull up for 3. They shoot running 3's. where the guys' momentum has him fading to the side or away. knowing good and well thats a horrible shot taken in real life.
Defensively its 3 ways to do it. and non of them are legit basketball either.
#1. have your entire team on denial. to deny all passes. praying that the other guy will not be able to pass properly due to your bad laggy connection . this is how you're getting most of your steals, its not skill. But because the AI doesnt work well with a laggy connect. the guy wont even back door you.
#2 running around with both of your hands up. as if anyone does that in real life. running around with both of their hands up the entire time. . just like above. due to the laggy connection you cant even blow by the guy by getting lower then his shoulders(since his hands are up)>
#3 more lag and packing the paint with all of your players so the other guy will just blow layup after layup just because your defenders are standing by the rim. they could be out of bounds slightly beneath it. doesnt matter. you will blow layups like crazy.
and before someone says the "you must suck" No. my connection doesnt suck. so i have to play vs these dudes with bad connections or(true lag glitchers with lag switches and what not) and pray the AI moves correctly and pray my passes are not super delayed.
So i wonder when 2k16 drops with all its new stuff. will its new stuff be a much better 5 vs 5?

...i'll never forget the fukkery I witnessed...the other nikka picked okc against my nikkas heat and dropped 75 on him with westbrook...ALONE. The nikka did every cheese in the book on those default online settings and cooked this nikka to death with one player. How the fukk do yall play basketball this way?
