Go into your points of emphasis and choose limit transition. The cost is you wont get many offensive rebound chances

All they wear are generic black or white ones and in some case teams are wearing same sock colors. The home team was wearing white and the away team was wearing white socks never seen that in an actually NBA game where that takes place. If anyone has answers please let me know, do they need to unlock maybe

I had the stance socks the first two games. Since then just generic socks.

Not sure why.

I love just about everything about this game. The only thing that needs a very slight adjustment is the contested shot percentages and grading on shots. I feel that the contested shots need a very slight boost, and that moves which create space on shots shouldn't have such low grades. I would use someone like K.D and create space on the shot while somehow his contested shot animation plays out and he ends up with like a D grade. Go into replay mode and it's clear space was created. I've even lost defenders on the spin and have a clear open mid-range shot and get a C. Open shots off of the catch and shoot on screens is lovely though. When you have the forms down it's just about automatic and feels well worth it. The contested shot percentage is so low that I could care less who i'm letting Mike Dunleavy guard on defense lol. Almost everyone feels like a stopper and I play on Hof sim. If contested shots go in slightly more, then I will have to make more of an adjustment. So please give this a slight increase 2k.

Player likeness is amazing this yr! I love playing with deandre jordan. The life-like replication is incredible! my favorite big man to play with thus far.

Offensive rebounds.... That will make players run back on defense as soon as the shot goes up.


But first things I want to say is thank god 2k change the buttons. It feels like I'm playing FIFA. Where I control the passes.. but as well as the type of pass. It helps out in every part of passing which type of pass. I drove down the middle of the court. And my offball weak side player slide down the baseline with me. Old school baseline drive baseline drift. But I was able to give a nice bounce pass to the other side of the court. I played with LeBron James (Kyrie got hurt in the second quarter). So the defense started fronting/denying everything. In old 2k's. You couldn't even throw a pass to that player. I still catch myself pressing triangle for the post lol

Speaking of post..... The post game is so unscripted. I love it so much. It really feels I contest shots on the defensive end. But I'm also give it and changing it on the other end. I love seeing the computer go for my fakes in the post.

I enjoy the My Career mode and everything on an annual basis, but my BIGGEST complaint is, if I'm a top 10 NBA Draft Talent, why in the heck is my overall just a 55?? It baffles me every year that they have the overall that low if we're being drafted that high (save for last year, going undrafted makes sense.) That is a point of frustration for me that I do NOT understand.

That aside, this game feels GREAT on defense. For the first time, I feel like I've got a chance to defend dribble moves this year. Shooting seems a bit more concise in terms of release points than before. The passing game also feels much more refined. I can run a fast break with less awkwardness than before. Still getting used to some of the new control tweaks, but overall, its a really good game.
