Can they please get rid of the animation where players ball fake in the post?

[lilteapot]

You know, that animation where a guy pump fakes, shows the balls away from the hoop, then pump fakes again, and basically travels and 9/10 times gets blocked.

I've had lots of good passes ruined because the cpu teammate decided to do this crap and has to take a contested shot or gets blocked because he wanted to be like hakeem.

and the shuffling of the feet during the animation should be a travel but it isn't called, like a lot of other travels in the game.

Lilteapot, Could you post an example? Is it when you pull fake while under the rim?

In this example they actually shoot the ball but more often than not they do another fake instead of shooting and just wastes their time. My main issue is that the fakes never result in the defender reacting or jumping. it never works.

Why remove that?

That's how you do the dream fake. But the problem is the user pointing the left stick. And tapping square. I think this is user input error. Not a problem with the move. I will say it probably could be mapped better.

I don't get that fake unless input that move. I usually do it with Hakeem or Rondo trying to get my defender in the air. But it's input move. You just don't randomly get when driving to the rim.

hate the move. so slow & clunky. looks more like some cult ceremony.

I believe he's talking about the CPU doing it.

But, no....there's no need to remove it...just correct the CPUs tendency in that context...

It'd be like taking away the ability to take away the catch and step back because the CPU did it in the wrong situation last year..

It's not a player move, it's a CPU move and like I mentioned before it ruins great assists because the animation triggers.

@24: what's the point of the animation if it never results in a defender reacting at all? I have never, ever seen it result in a defender biting even the slightest bit. It doesn't seem to serve any specific purpose other than to show people that the animation exists.

I'm yet to see a big that doesn't do this, so I doubt it can be a tendency issue, unless they're just ridiculously high on every big that's in at the start of the game, and is generated.

I was going to start a thread about this a while back. It completely destroys offence at times. I can give the ball to a wide open KAT under the rim and he starts doing this nonsense until he has to take a heavily contested layup after the defence gets back and smothers him.

It's 2k18's version of 2k17's stepback 3.
