You needed to go into coach's settings and mess around with the numbers. Has that beeen addressed? Thank you.

Offensive Rebounds are much better on default. They arent non existant but they dont feel cheap like they did in 2k13.

Not seeing an issue with the CPU running plays at all this year.

Anything new Aholbert in the postgame?

I know they've redone the up and unders. The one you do near the rim while not in a backing down position. In 2K12 - 2K13 if you where to pumpfake near the rim you would get the pumpfake and the start of the under animation that that would make the whole thing look glitchy (also looked like a travel). Hard to explain for me though. But from the gameplays I have seen it looked way better.

This is the third time you've posted this. Spamming a thread isnt the way to get your question answered. I was planning to look into this but you took the wrong approach.

Also if you don't mind can you share Mid Range & 3pt rating for Ryan Anderson?

Nope. Players do a decent job of holding their ground. It also lowers the chance of a made shot as the defender is still their to defend the shot.

Yes on default. Last year, through slider changes you could make them faster. This year on default, I can use Westbrook to blow by defenders.

I've tried but I suck at setting charges so Ive failed at it.

Thanks for the Impression first and foremost

Only 2 questions

1. Are leaning/momentum shots still very successful this year ? Last year leaning shots were just as effective as a spot up jumper

2. This may be too early to ask but do you think this could clearly be the best 2k simulation wise out the box ?

Revising my earlier post, thanks for answering all these!

1. Any new courts for Blacktop Mode (2K13 was Rooftop and Daytime Rucker)? Do players still wear their own uniforms in Blacktop?
2. Can we upload/download sliders from 2KShare? And does 2KShare still do Rosters/Teams/CAPs?

Thank you again!

Don't know if asked but are there still insane closeouts on shooters by guys like Lebron--flying out of nowhere to block what should have been an open shot?

I had a big problem with forcing organic turnovers last year against the computer (i.e. not just relying on stealing the inbounds passes). Does 2K14 seem to produce more realistic turnover opportunities via the reading of passing lanes, on-ball strips, helpside tips, and player error (computer/human dribbling into a crowd, losing control)?
