Ya but last year broadcast cam was almost unplayable because the fps were so bad due to the floors being so “busy”

You can override ACE subs so I just put Davion Mitchell in and he gave Fox a significant rest. 2k also fixed how the game handles foul trouble. Players with 2 fouls in the first quarter now sub out. Players with 3 fouls in the 2nd quarter now sub out.

I don't like you right now lol. I was holding off buying but this might change my mind.

I was so hyped for ERAs on PC then was so let down when it didn't happen.

Didn’t it get fixed? Mine never stutters on series S. If it does it’s very rare. Some guys are reporting the flickering issues is still happening in 24 on broadcast.

Didn’t ACE always sub players out after 2 fouls in the first? In 23 it always does for me or cpu. I think every 2K I’ve played has done that.

Not for me. I always had ace on and they would let a player stay in to foul out even if in the first quarter.

As aholbert said how the game handles foul trouble is fixed. Sounds like I wasn’t the only one with that problem.

Not an impression but thought I'd share this stoey. Haven't played yet, disc is installing now, but man not preordering was riskier than I thought. Went to one GameStop and it was sold out besides the preorder copies and the person at the desk indicated that that was the case for all GameStops near by. Went to another one and got lucky. The clerks friend preordered a copy but ended up going digital instead because their son wanted the game right away.

As I was checking out the person behind was like "damn is that the last copy? I came in for the same game." He said he tried another GameStop and a Best Buy and they were both sold out too.

I usually go digital these days besides sports games or really good sales but I can't remember the last time I saw a game sold out like this. The guy behind me made a good point that it might be because Kobe is on the cover.

This made my weekend though. My mother in law is taking my daughter tomorrow morning until Sunday, wife is working all day tomorrow. Got all day to play 2k. It's rare that the stars align like this.

Good luck to those of you that didn't preorder and are hoping to grab a physical copy. Hopefully you have an easier time finding a copy than I did.

Does anybody feel like the framerate isn't as stable as it could be? Wish we had the option to play at 120fps

First Walmart I went to at about 3PM had 30 plus copies and a ton of the $100 edition too.
