Double teams are terribly implemented.

[SPRINGS03]

Another broken canned animation in this game. Has anyone noticed how terrible the double teams are? It's laughable. I'm playing my career mode and i get doubled constantly. Now i have no problem with it being harder to pass out of the double team, the problem is that when the animation kicks in it like locks your player in place. Even if the double team isn't in good position, not being able to move when there is clearly open space in front of you just because of the animation is stupid. And why the hell is it that you're not allowed to call a timeout when the canimation locks in? Does 2k have ANY concept of how double teams actually work? Apparently not. . .

IDK they're not to bad man, I mean just last night I spun out of one with Kobe, hung them up on a screen from Dwight and took hard to the hoop.

In agreement on the timeout thing, however don't think I've ever even tried to call one during a double though.

Weird, I honestly think double teams are weak as hell in this game!

Another thing I noticed is that once a double team is triggered, all help side defense concepts are thrown out the window.

It's easy to abuse for one. 7 out if ten times will result in a turnover for the opponent.

Honestly I really never use them on D, however I will agree it can be fairly easy to abuse them with the CPU calls them.

They are not nba style doubles. very disappointing

All you do is press double, come with your hands up, and if you're a tall player they just pass off your hands and turn it over.

Haven't really run into too many problems with double team abusers online, but last night I entertained this kid with a match for a little bit and the double teams were really powerful. He used the Clippers and set Double Team to "Always" for all my players. When Chris Paul would come with a double against one of my ballhandlers, if I were to escape the double team, Paul would poke the ball loose for a turnover. It happened numerous times. It was strange because there was like a magnetic force to the doubles, I'd see it coming, but couldn't get away if I tried.

Just a rare occasion though.
