Take smart shots. I can still finish layups with small guards....but if ur going into heavy traffic what do u expect?

LOL...touche...I guess I am a glutton for punishment. League pass has greatly improved with the gametime app on xbox 360. Atleast the NBA has been responsive about improving league pass. 2k on the other hand serves online league heads platitudes of "we are providing feedback to the devs." When you do ask the devs direct questions about how gimped the OLs are this year...crickets.

Right on. And that's the thing — I'm not much of an online player either.

But especially when large parts of the supposed "offline" experience rely on server connectivity ... this experience isn't okay.

You're right. League Pass is improving. But I couldn't resist pointing it out.

I guess in a way I may be lucky that they don't have Online MyLeague. As a strictly offline player, this is the greatest basketball game ever.

It's too bad that people are having such problems online and with the servers. They are really missing out.

I'm not buying this game until I play it at my boy's house this weekend. I mainly play the CPU and the game would drive me crazy with the CPU shooting. They hardly ever miss, and I'm done with spending weeks moving sliders to get what I think is a good shooting percentage from the CPU. I see he commented on passing being better, but that's not saying much when the passing was garbage. My biggest beef is with my CPU controlled players playing like brain dead zombies. They display none of the skills that the CPU guys show. I know the game will never be like a real game, but it shouldn't feel like the winner was predetermined the minute I hit start. We shall see. I'm hoping I can go to best buy and get some rewards for this game.

Awesome review z, don't let any pressure from this forum change the way you look at reviews. Yes, I think we all get to wrapped up in scores ....especially when they don't match your own feelings on a game. When dealing with subjective analysis as long as you can clearly explain why you scored the game the rating you gave you are golden in my book. I played a whole lot of 2K14, felt it was the best sports game on the PS4. Was extremely frustrated by the servers and the VC last year ... so I was not hyped for this game, until face scan was announced. Your review has helped me stay patient and not purchase the game until the bugs are worked out. As you stated in your replies that is part of a reviewer to help people weigh their purchasing decisions. I mostly game offline but still want a game that works. I will wait until holiday sales before I buy, thanks!
