Anybody playing on Hall of Fame, you're pretty much throwing "fairness" and "sim" out the window and the sooner people realize this, the better off they'll be.

My pet peeve with this is that when I set my POE before the game start but yet it resets everything back to auto once the game actually starts up.

What's the point of setting it up only for it to reset anyway?

This dude Isaiah Thomas...is there anything he can't do on Offense when controlled by the CPU? Lol

You should not have to pull off dribble moves all the time, especially to get past a bad defender.


If I'm Westbrook, and a scrub defender is guarding me, I should be able to blow past him without having to set him up with dribble moves. Too bad the defender always bumps you and sucks you in.

Played a lot of my career tonight, and let's just say, please don't bring back Spike Lee story mode.. Not only is it just weird to me, I just wanna play basketball and not have drama overload.

Honestly, this is the best basketball game ever made by so far it is not even close.

I am happy paying $60 just for such an incredibly in depth season mode...that is basically all I want. A full season with total control over all teams where I can replicate trades, play whatever games I want, edit away, load sliders easily, customise rosters, and enjoy a full season. Season mode is perfect. Well done Leftos.

But then we get a ridiculously deep franchise mode also if you want to be a GM.

An insanely addictive pro am...

My career / Spike Lee etc...boring, but that is just a bonus mode / not a factor in why I buy it. So, cannot criticise something 'extra'.

And I am yet to even go anywhere near My Park.

Really looking forward to the day one rosters and getting a season going...

Just amazing depth.

After playing a bunch of games in MyLeague....

MyLeague: Probably the greatest Franchise mode ever. I love being able to semi control teams to do things that i feel they should do. The level of customization is amazing, and the sim engine is probably the best one I have seen besides some Text Simulators. Add in Custom Draft classes, Coaches affecting teams, and the ability to affect each players peak/decline, its just a redone deep mode. The UI is also vastly improved over last year. Just amazing

Gameplay: Im having issues. I play on Pro with, at this point, heavily modified sliders (Rockets). I have major issues with getting past people without doing a stupid amount of stick flicking. And sometimes I'll do a custom size-up, and the guy guarding will just suddenly fall, even though Harden is just kinda doing a smooth start setup. Its like the guy was shot. I MUCH prefer last years on man defense. Good players should be at least get a half step on terrible/mismatched defenders. For whatever reason, I just don't like it. BTW, I have On-Ball D slider at 0. I always set this lower than most (last year I kept it around 20 for Man/CPU).

I also have trouble really getting the freelance offense's going. It just seems to take a long time, and I seem to run the same sets over and over (For rockets, a lot of these dribble handoffs). Im sure this is something I will get better at though.

Really it seems like I just can't get in a "rhythm" this year. Its kinda frustrating honestly because I really want to enjoy this game, and I just love what they have done with MyLeague.


Small Notes:
-Crowd for sure needs some tuning (I don't have patch yet).

-The FA bug where guys sign for small amounts is a real issue.
Once again though MyLeague comes to the rescue to some degree with editable contracts.

-In game PGs seems to to possibly get to many assists due to the quick passes in the post.

How do you defend alley oops? Every year I find it impossible

I haven't settled into a sweet spot with this game yet, either. Didn't help that I went 2 weeks without playing it due to work, but still, in the time I have spent with the game I haven't been able to kick back and just enjoy the game like I did with 2K15.

Learning a new control scheme, how players move on the court, how your AI teammates react on D, what the CPU is doing offensively, where to be to initiate freelance offensive sets ... it is a lot to take in. I know I'll get there, but having limited time to play is not helping the learning curve.
