Well that's probably more of a factor than you having the PC version, as a wired connection will always be faster than bluetooth and most console players use wireless controllers.

It's just too big of an issue, and while the game has a lot of qualities, I don't think it's unfair to call it a bad game just for that.

You are one person who can't move your player right yet I can. NBA 2k11 was full of exploits and certain things you couldn't do then that you can do, like block dunks for example.

That's not a solid foundation. Not with the exploits it had. The online thing solid were the online lobbies.

No. I was specifically talking about AI behaviors. There's nothing in place to handicap the BEHAVIORS of your teammates. Shot %s is a completely different subject. There are absolutely handicaps in place to make your teammates shoot at a lower % than the opposing AI players when you raise the difficulty level. Pro and All-Star they're more or less equal but the divide grows when you go up to Superstar and HoF. That's also being refined in the patch

When you ask to form a big 3 does it actually work? If so can you give a step-by-step process of how to form a big 3?

Not really...I use an old wireless one...I can stay in front of my guy easily but as I said the gameplay changes after each roster updates. I may cover the guy like a glue in one week then the next week it feels like I'm sliding with barely touching the sticks.

I stopped trying to figure out if they do ninja updates through roster updates. Just enjoy it for what it is when it plays awesome....

I feel like in this day and age, there's gotta be a better less heavy handed way to make the game more challenging than stat nerfs. Hell, i've seen other games do it. Instead of just lowering stats, why not make the opposing team just play a little smarter? Also, still remember back in the day when people said the opponent AI would get unfair advantages and people tried their hardest to deny it lol.

Completely agree and we're getting there. The attribute and shot % "stat nerfs" are almost gone already, as we've been able to shift more difficulty level tuning to logic based factors in just about every aspect of Gameplay
