Catch & Shoot

Doesn't it bother you when it seems like it takes a guy 3 or 4 seconds to do anything after catching the ball. It's almost like if they don't go through the full animation they can't do it. Sometimes I'm able to shoot quick but not too often.

The crap gets annoying as heck. You will be trying to shoot and the man taking forever. Then man just standing there like he don't know what to do. You're in perfect position and can't get a shot off or then the double team or 3 seconds comes.

It makes it hard to do last second shots, the players seem to have to gather themselves afte catching the ball

I wasn't really going to say anything about this bug, until just now I could have won the game. :\ Down by one I inbound the ball and find KVH wide open for 3, but I can't get it off as I only have 0.8 seconds left. It swished too D:

That could be worse. KVH can't get off a shot in .8 seconds in real life either.

lol

i hate it wen u press a button and nothing happens. there r diff kinds of bugs that screw me over in the end of games. i hate it wen a guy catches it downlow and they hav to hop to catch it, that wastes a good tick or tock of the clock ...

also i hate it wen i press shoot and nothing happens. i keep jamming my finger on the shoot button so i start stomping it madly wen i need to get a shot off. then unexpectly on my 5th try the guy shoots and does an early release... because i hadnt expected the shot to go off.

also wen i try to pass it in bounds a lot of times i hav to press the pass button like 10 times b4 it gets passed in... no big deal but weird and pointless

Not to sound sort of obnoxious here, but if he really had to hoist it up (allbeit with bad form) I'm sure he could. But my point being it's the same with all players, it just happened to me with Van Horn.

I hate that. Press the button and nothing. Yeah the hopping from posts sucks. I hate that. You send up not getting shot off in time or getting stolen

i hate it when.. players have to jump to receive the passes...
and when they landed .. it took them 1-2 secs to do somethingelse..
this also applies to last second shot.. unless u call timeout..

It's not the game... It's the keyboard... Your keyboard can only handle like 3-4 commands at a time... Pressing a single key like 'a' causes one command to be sent to the cpu from the keyboard. But pressing keys like 'space', 'alt', 'ctrl', you know the special keys, causes two commands to be sent to your cpu. The bandwidth was something like 20 commands in the eighties, but someone thought that 4 commands should do just fine.

I am using these keys and they work very well, I notice very little key jamming:

Movement - arrow keys
Shoot - space
pass/switch - c
turbo - x
dunk/steal - z
pro-hop/block - left shift
cross-over - left ctrl
direct pass - s
alley-oop - v
back down - d

Try to change your keys... Also some really sorry keyboards jam the keys easier than others. This is probably a good chunk of the problem you guys are having.

But there is that thing with the animations like when a player jumps in the post to catch the ball and switching ball from his weak hand to his stronger hand when dribbling... These animations just suck... But I never have problems with a key not working except when the player is going through the animations...

That's not the problem. It's that jumping animation when a player catches a lob pass (especially in the post or when you go up for a shot and then pass the ball). The animation cannot be cancelled and it takes the receiving player waaay too long to recover so that he can be controlled again. It's totally unrealistic that a player who gets the ball in the zone is jumping to catch the pass, which takes him about 1 1/2 seconds! If he was standing there for, let us say, one second, he has .5 seconds to get a shot at the basket. Which is hard to time, because the game will not exactly show you if the player is ready to take new commands. It just sucks!

Well I don't play on PC. I play on X-Box, and even then sometimes it takes too long for you to be able to get the ball off. Seems like doing a tip-in is the only way to get the ball up quick. Sometimes it just won't get that shot off as quickly as it could.
