It's harder to score in the post. That's for sure. But, I've had more success by being patient. If you just try to spin move and hook, you're going to miss the shot or have it rejected.

Gotta get the big men to commit or get yourself into a dominant position.

Also mismatches seem to be huge. Remember, defense matters more this year so if you're up against a good defensive big man, you're probably going to lose the battle more times than not.

I think the improvements to the gameplay are noticeable, but there are some things that still need adjustments: the spacing is still off at times and I had some players right under the basket trying to pass the ball outside. The thing I really don't like is the Spike Lee story: it's a lot of useless cutscenes that don't lead to anything and we have no option to make our own choices (I really wanted to play college at least 2 years). If you create an Asian or white player they should've changed the family as a whole...it's really weird having a black sister when you are a completely different skin color. Some of the dialogues are really cheesy. In general I liked the feel of last year's MC. It's also a pain to have to play online 8 games in your first season and being not able to interact with your agent or owner (I really wanna tell Vic to go **** himself, but you don't have any decisional power over the story).

Love, love, loving this game!

Played four games so far:

Lost as Kings to the Lakers (just learning new controls)

Won as 2002 Mavs vs 2001 Sixers (Iverson went off, Dirk hit a couple of post up fadeaways to seal it)

Won as Old Timerwolves (Garnett and Cassell) vs Old Pistons (Billups, Hamilton, etc)

As the Warriors, Lost in Double-OT @ the Blazers. Lillard went off with a double-double.

The game plays terrifically, there were very, very, few head-scratching moments. Great game though, they deserve a lot of praise.

I'm playing as the cavs against the warriors, was down 12 in the second battled back and finally tied it in the third midway through. I feel like I'm really slowing curry down with shump and delly, I hid kyrie on Harrison barnes seems to work so far. I took a break from the game to take a phone call and I wsa jus looking through the stats, and like I said 2 mins lift in the 3rd tied 70-70 feeling like I took steph out, he only has 6 points, buttttttt 15 assists. All my pressure on him has led to him tearing me up in another way. Have to appreciate that I'm trying to take away his scoring and like a true star is finding another way to stay competitive and hurt me

I wholeheartedly disagree with those that don't like the new OTF Sub Menu. I think it's great, and after a week or 2 of getting used to it, I think a majority will come to the same conclusion. I'm pretty sure the players location in regards to the RS is fixed, so once you get comfortable with it and learn which player is where, you'll be able to sub players in without even looking at the menu.

Also, with it moved from the D-Pad to the RS, you never have to take your thumb off the LS, so your player isn't standing around looking like an idiot while you're trying to find who you wanna sub out/in. This is just that disease of new, where something has been the same for so long, that we're so used to it, and a change is met with negativity. Give it some time, and I bet ppl are gonna love it in the end.

So second game again pro sim and I lost by 31. I was only down by 4 at half time but got killed in the second half and Thunder ended the game with 76 points in the paint. Yes 76 you heard me! Also having a hard time figuring out the Pick and rule controls this year. I have always felt like the controls in 2k are overly complex and this year no different.

I hate it but I also remember hating last years too at first. Most of us just got used to it so change generally is met with some uneasiness.

All of that customization that you have in creating a team, court, and layering tattoos did not rub off on CAP. Still can't add tattoos. Once you add a CAP to a roster and start say MyGM or MyLeague you can't edit his face or his facial and hair style (this would be great to do to correct the alien looking players in the incoming draft classes). Plus, adding weight to a player in CAP should be noticeable. It still isn't. Should be able to choose different body types in CAP, still can't. Actually they removed the ability to choose "ripped", "average", and so forth. More body adjusting sliders like 2K1 or 2K2 had. Should also be able to choose uniform fit. Basically, if you don't play MyPlayer, then 2K doesn't really care about you. Should be able to create a team and court/arena outside of a game mode also. Something is still weird about the player models. I don't think they are as good as they can be. Can't quite put my finger on it. Still improved though. How do you select the team colored Stance socks, or they randomly select them for you?

Yeah I've noticed they really don't care about CAP, I end up just sorta creating myself through draft classes, at least I can have a couple tattoos.
