NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #9 - Defense

I wonder how successful the wrap up foul is. I can see it being exploited online during laggy games where free throws are difficult.

In NBA 2K12, we have addressed this by creating vulnerability windows during all shots. During the gather, from the moment the shooter starts the shot and before he leaves the ground, he is vulnerable. During that window, a defender can strip the ball away by timing the steal command properly. This applies to hop step layups, euro layups, spin layups, spin dunks, etc. These moves are no longer overpowering once you learn and detect their vulnerable windows. Player skill also factors in as well.

This is my only concern, that strips will become rampant once people learn the windows.

With the lack of fouls called in online play it could become a new part of a cheesers arsenal. I would hope it is extremely hard to consistently disrupt these shots.

I wish i would have thought about this when the thread was still fresh but i have a vid of me playing the bulls and im playing off ball d. You can see in it that im not just standing around and im very active.


Not so good quality but it was my first vid and i didnt know how to change anything. But you can see that im actually guarding people and trying to stay with people coming off screens. Not just standing around and camping in the paint.
