NBA 2K Tidbits: Necessary Improvements

[Boilerbuzz]

Outside of the back and forth bickering of an opinion , this is a fantastic thread. I also agree with most, if not all, of the gripes. The FT boxout gripe is a huge one for me. I've been bone so many times because of that garbage. I figure it's a hard one to get perfect, but as long as I see some improvement I'm happy. I'm sure they'd acknowledge it as a problem.

to be totally honest... they did give u the chance to make buzzer beaters more in the last 2 installments.. i sim alot and build a team and let the computer play with them and it happen just enough times to say to yourself "hmm i got a chance" i dont know if that is good or bad but it is what it is... i would agree with dc that it was lowered slightly from 08 to 09

So when will we see a necessary improvements for NBA live then?

Agree. Thats what geeks do in mlb 09 is sit and bum hunt in the lobby. When i play online i just want to play i dont care if your record is 100 and 1 or 1 and 100 i expect to win regardless. If 2k can do something about the full court pressers, the steal button mashers, and the Lebron and Kobe whores im good ! It will be a smart move for them to not even show your record like 2k8 no rank nothing . After the game you find out you just beat number 1 ranked.

Ummmm........gotta disagree with you there partner...

Hes a perfect example !!!

Ahmen!!! if i play a full court presser who presses me all quarter and i dont see gatorade bottle markers under all his players at the 1min mark the game is going back to where i rented it from not bought because i dont trust 2k anymore.

Thats a good question, but they put that their if you decide to simulate your players career. That canned **** has got to go man.
