Me too. I'm not one of those 2K Black Belts, and I'm having blast playing on Pro. I've only blown out the CPU a few times, and lost a few as well. Seems a good level for me at the moment.

I hope this question is suitable for this thread. I've really only been an mlb the show gamer the last few years on the PS3. I always buy nba2k and every time i wind up disappointed in the game play. controls feel clunky. it's just awful.

the videos for this game look awesome and i want to buy it. I will also be buying a new console. What's the best console to play this game on, XBoxOne or PS4, and why? If i could be convinced that the game play is exactly the same on both i'd lean PS4, but if it's clearly better on XBoxONe then i'll go that direction...

can anyone offer up some help/advice/opinions on this topic?

thanks

It's about the same on both consoles. Controller preference and friends/online is your deciding factor.

But, I will say, if you thought 2k in the past had clunky controls, I'm not sure this game changes that.

I have no confidence in my guys hitting open jumpers. I'm not entirely happy about the CPU Point guards having this insane ability to zip passes from the perimeter to a well-guarded big man under the basket with ease. It's impossible to stop. It's just an easy two points for the CPU. Maybe it's just an AS and above problem. I don't know but to Pro I go before that thing frustrates me to the point I don't care about the good in the game.

Yeah, I noticed this on AS too, PG's passing beyond the 3 pt line and zipping to a big man cutting under the hoop always open.

Back to pro for me, too.

I've tried points in the paint emphasis and that doesn't seem to help.

Also, lots of "jumping for a layup, perfect behind the back pass to a big after his defender left him for a block attempt" passing in the game.

Pro isn't easy. You have to stop CPU runs and adjust

Am I the only one realizing that the three-ball is nearly impossible online? I'm wide open plenty of times with good three shooters and can't get a single bucket. Literally like 20 percent from the three point line. Not just me, my opponent as well.

Right now, I love the mechanics, but the 2K15 gameplay is much more better. Hopefully they can fix this with a patch... can't get a three to save my life.

I've played about 15 games. All with different teams. And it didn't occur to me that I was playing on Pro. Because all the games were really close at one point. that turned into a blow out or I was blown out. I've had every single kind of game expect a buzzer beater game winner.
