Hack-a-Whoever in a basketball video game

[jeebs9]

How do you guys feel about this ever being in a basketball video game? Could you imagine someone hack-a- Someone on your team every single time down the floor. Just to watch you struggle to make a free throw. Or like Pop did vs the Clippers last year to change the momentum of a game. I could hear people yelling cheese from here to 2k's offices.

A few years ago I didn't want the actually rule of the 20 second timeout one sub rule. I actually never knew about it. Until I argued with someone on this forum about it. But I've always felt how real is too real. I would never want to watch someone hack-a-me all game just to watch a free throw game. That would be boring! lol

Iv actually done this in 2k13. Kid was just killing me with dwight howard. Would just post up and hit every hook shot. He was like 12-14 on just hook shots. Not counting his 5 offensive rebound slams.So i subbed in kwame and Royal ivey. And hacked the **** out of dwight everytime he touched the ball. Kid went 5-20. One of my goons fouled out but it was worth it. The kid got fustrated and started trying to fastbreak everything witch resulted in a bunch of turnovers. And i made a 20 point comeback in the 3 and 4th quaters.

Guy sent me a messege calling me a noob.

Responded and said its just good strategy.

And you see... I wouldn't have problem with that. I think it's on the user to change it up. But I could see how people would call it a cheese. I remember in 2k8 where they didn't have clear path foul. My friend would foul on any fastbreak. Just so you didn't get any free buckets. Hacking a bad free throw shooter is a different story.

Up by 4 with 45 sec left, keep fouling sending the other team to the line, trade baskets until the time runs out.

I think I once did this in a close game against the clippers when I was winning by 2 or 3.This guy was cheesing the hell out of me so I don't care. He passes the ball to Reggie Evans go figure, he missed all of his free throws.

Man, I'd love to hack-a-Biedrins. If you even shoot 20% with him on this game, you're superhuman.

You can't foul off the ball though can you?

on 50 difficulty it's too easy to really make hacking a player a strategy. Either way, i think its just that, strategy, the same as leaving players who can't shoot open.
