NBA 2K9 Video: Lakers vs. Celtics

I don't see why people are complaining about the last couple seconds of the game where Pierce takes long for the play to progress. Do you think thats gonna happen every time? No, the guy got caught up in a screen. It's not gonna happen EVERY TIME.

It doesn't happen EVERY TIME in 2k8 either but it's still a problem. Games don't freeze up EVERY TIME you play them either, but that's also still a problem. The "it doesn't happen every time" is just a cop out. Fact is, that when a player gets caught up like that, they should be trying even harder to get to their spot to get the play going.

^lol. so you are saying it makes sense for an offensive player to run into a screen?

No, but there should be a sense of urgency when you're caught behind one. This is where hustle and effort should come into play.

I think bateman11 was directing that towards ryanm1058123.

But it would be great if hustle and effort was directly correlated to HOW they fight through or around the screens.

I was hoping that maybe after a finals mvp award and more exposure that 2k would stop shafting Pierce on his sig shot... maybe when he's 32 then...

That's only half the point, even when he doesn't get stuck and walk, he goes through the motion way too slowly. They need to get players to bust it off screens and catch the ball aggressively, squaring up into a triple threat position. I've said it a bunch, but it looks like they're going through a play in a pre-game walk through.
