I feel you, what you probably want is "zone up" scheme with Hibbert if they have it. He wouldn't come that far out of the paint but he will always be way under the pick. Yall really don't have very good perimeter defenders and Randall is mobile but hasn't shown that on defense yet. So I would say ICE with Black, Sacre, Randall.

If Bob or Larry plays the game chucking up 3 point shots religiously almost at the half court every single chance he walks the ball across or stuff that isn't realistic per se, appropriate referee'd calls are not going to come to fruition. Obviously chucking up 3's every single time is a bad example. Just using an extreme example. Somewhere I read (or was it a video I watched or podcast I heard) about this. And then a light bulb clicked in my head. Statistics should be dictated by the way the gamer plays. Don't want to manipulate the game just to give realistic stats if it'll make the gameplay artificially rigged so to speak. Let organic player interactions on the court dictate the final statistics.

I know what you mean. Not The case here.. I really try to play basketball, spread the ball, try the mismatches. I Play with the Bulls, so i use some pick n roll, feed the post, and shoot some 3's. I try to don't force shots, looking for the best man open, with time to shoot, and some isos, attacking the basket. But sometimes i think the cpu doesn't commit a lot of turnovers, not so many reach in are called.

THANK YOU! It gets a little irritating when all ppl care about is how the stat screen looks at the end of the game. I know sometimes numbers are really jacked up, but games aren't supposed to follow a guideline, which I think ppl tend to forget at times. Nice to read a post like this, as how a game plays is more important than how stats look at the end of the game.

Off topic, but 69 page thread......look what you did OG! Haha......


Don't want to offend Czar, but this could have been the best blog in NBA 2K history!


I read it at 11pm Australia time. Didn't get to sleep til 3am because I had to read it twice, watch the vids 204 times and then the kicker, I was waiting for Prez's blog to drop......

If the game plays realistically and (this is KEY), the USER plays realistically (Sim ball) then realistic numbers should be a bi-product (or close to)....


I care about numbers, but I care more about a real playing game.


That said, I am interested in whether the stats have been close to real when Czar or OG play (12 min quarters?)? Or if there is something glaring that is happening statistically that's a little off?

He means that he wants to steal their scheme to use for the Lakers.
