I'm gonna catch hell for saying this, but...well played, 2K.

So the only way for us to get some VC is buying it, well played 2K.





I'm trying out the coach mode right now on 6 minutes, I better get some VC. I don't get any VC playing MyCareer so how the hell can I even upgrade my player?

I stopped playing ranked matches altogether because of the cheese and knowing it was set on the PRO difficulty and just focused on our sim league just to get a good clean game in. I recently started playing ranked matches again bc my subs liked seeing me beat the 95% of cheese heads you come across in quick matches, and I wanted to get a feel of the bs in the gameplay before the patch dropped so I can really feel the difference after they released the patch. The Good: The spamming of the steal button is NO MORE! They upped the foul calls so on almost every steal attempt you will get the foul call. What I don't like about this however is if you're not the type that pounds the X button (or square for ps3) and stay disciplined on D, you still get fouls called against you because the damn cpu will do all the reaching for you! And sorry to say but this is all that's good about the patch... The UGLY!!! 1. 3's are back with a vengeance and it seems like it's gotten WORSE. I have played with almost every different type of team and play style from the Lakers to the Bobkittens and it's all the same! Jamal Crawford, Barganini, Terrance Ross, Harrison Barnes all the way down to Steve Blake just to name a few are RayAllenReggieMillerSteveKerrMarkPrice all rolled in to one DEADLY type shooters. It's just sad. 2. Offensive Rebounding is just...I played against the Celtics using the Pacers and I swear Jason Terry kept tipping the ball in the air over Hibbert grabbing 4 offensive rebounds in ONE possession and I will just leave it at that. 3. You are damn near helpless going against Lebron, Kobe, Melo (who is worst than Kobe) ect. so don't bother giving yourself a headache going against any of these superstars because if you don't know how to play the most effective defense using different adjustments and strategies as you go, don't even bother. 4. The sh!t is STILL on PRO!!! Ronnie2k said the game starts off on pro to cater to the casuals but one of the changes they make when working on the patch is upping the difficulty but this clearly hasn't happened. If you play online and a Sim head like myself your best bet is to do what I've done and start or join a sim league that caters best to your play style and leave the ranked matches to the virgin money tourney players because it's rare you get a decent game...im jus sayin. Check out my video on my thoughts on the patch so far...you aint doing sh!t else: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCNnLLtMDLU

I disagree. I'm noticing some good changes if you play your own defense and DON'T run and gun. The slower game pace actually favors the Pacers more.

I wish we could choose to have a nickname or not, I definitely DO NOT want to have one. Especially if they are all lame sounding nicknames. Get rid of it 2K, please...

I'm using mkarsh's sliders and made thelorn's team tendency changes. Here are the shot totals for the CPU's Suns team: Brown- 8 Scola- 7 Dragic -5 Gortat-3 Dudley -4 Not unrealistic for me and they arent quickshotting. If I miss, they push the ball but if they dont have numbers they are resetting.

I can not tell a lie, I must admit that those sliders greatly improved the gameplay (and the fast break issue as well). I still can't find Thelorn's team tendencies to save my life, but I made a few changes based on some other 2K threads on OS and the 76ers played much differently. Andrew Bynum was a terror in the post (he was fed the ball often) and the crazy shooting numbers by the other players fell more in line with what I would expect. There are still a few things that need to be ironed out (such as CPU substitution patterns), but I may just keep this game and finally be able to get a decent experience from playing against the CPU. Thanks for the info sir.

I wanted to report back and amend my previous statement somewhat. After playing the game some more with these sliders (which I love) and numerous roster sets, I don't know what is going on. When I played the game against the 76ers that I talked about above, things played out much better, with a lot less "basket spamming" after User misses. Then I played games against the Knicks and Nets, and while the shot distribution was much better and much more true to life (a very good thing), Deron Williams and Raymond Felton would still continue to spam drives to the hole/take quick shots on User rebounded shots (a very bad thing), even when I "stopped the ball" numerous times. This whole thing is really frustrating and inexcusable, because A: There seems to no clear cut solution to completely stop this mess, and B: If it were totally fixed I could really see myself enjoying this game, but sadly I just don't see it happening.

Maybe some of the current roster-makers will be able to find a solution during their editing process, or even better, maybe 2K will finally address this in a 3rd update of some kind.

Lets just say Dwight Howard as the years progress think he has a little Reggie Miller in him.

I have waited over a month for the patch to fix the All-Star DLC simming issue with MyCareer and I finally go to play and it freezes every single time I try to start a game... thank you 2K for taking millions of our dollars and giving us crap.
