This year's programming is broken in so many area's it's not even funny at this point, and zero attention to gameplay in this patch just reinforces that 2K don't care.

EXACTLY! Sagging off should be a viable strategy for inconsistent shooters. We assumed he had 55-65 3 pt, but that still doesn't warrant him making 8 3's like he's Ray Allen in his prime.

Tbh, if this game was SIM as it constantly declares, that man would of at most made 2-3 3's out of 10. And of course, defending that, we could've lived with that.

No, the PROBLEM is people whining all year long about every other freakin' archetype until 2k had to come up with all these patches and shooting adjustments. Which is one of the reasons why I knew this archetype crap would be a failure to begin with. You ever think Dimer is helping him out, along with all of the appropriate measures to ensure he can spread the floor a bit?

A 60 rated three is serviceable. If he hits ONE three, then guess what? Close the darn gap. Why is that such a hard concept? I HAVE a LDD, and I can tell you that they aren't always consistent from 3 every freakin' game. But guess what? If I'm open in the corner with the appropriate badges and hotspots, then if you choose to leave me open, that's YOUR problem, not MINE.

So what, a Slasher should be able to do literally nothing but go to the rim? A LDD should be able to do literally nothing but play defense? A Glass Cleaner should be able to do literally nothing but rebound? Come on.

Your argument will start making sense as soon as my Playmaker starts grabbing 8 boards over the top of a glass cleaner every game.

8 Patches in, over half way through the season, half way through this games life cycle, and 2k hasn't fixed a single game play issue!
They made attempts at fixing shooting and it failed. Shooting is still broken along with hundreds of other things.

Every time 2k puts out a patch, something gets broken. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but since this patch came out I have been unable to join friends in park or get put in the same pro am walk on game with friends.
I'm still receiving upgrades from practice after I'm a 95. 2k claims that I'm the problem, that I'm in some way cheating or violating a terms of service agreement.
Your game is broken, your servers are garbage, and you have no idea how to fix your unfinished and broken in almost every way game.

Edit: The joining friends in park or getting into pro am with friends went back to normal, meaning that it works, sometimes.
So, so far, I haven't found what this patch broke. This might be the first patch that didn't break something else that 2k has put out this year.

Bro you're wrong. A player with 60 shooting rating should not be hitting shots from distance like that. You can leave Rondo open all day from 3, he's going to miss in real life. Go play my GM and see how fast your tune changes when you realize EVERYBODY is a threat to hit a 3.

I've outboarded Glass Cleaners before with my LDD. Not always, but I've done it more than quite a few times. I run with a Paint Protector/Post Scorer/6'8" Point Forward who, a lot of times, outboards Glass Cleaners. It's called possessing the skill to do it.

Yeah, and I learned in this 2k, even before all the shooting patches, that a 60 three can hit. How? By playing HOF MyCareer and having Thaddeus Young hit threes for me.

And even early in the year, I think it was either Mike or Zimmerman who specifically stated that a 60ish three point rating means their shot is "effective", but not always consistent. So you should've seen this a mile away WHEN THE GAME WAS IN ITS EARLY STAGES.

And just like I said in the video, as soon as a defender breathed on him, he threw up a tire iron.

Yo has anyone else played any games since 8 and 9?

I can't say anything for MyCareer, but I played a MyTeam Domination against the Magic, and I might be imagining this, but the defensive rotations, switches, offensive ball movement and overall flow was insane..from both me and AI. Insane in a good way. Plays were snapping to start quick and one possesion thej just seamlessly snapped into screen and movement like i ahev never seen in this game.

Only 1 game, so doesn't mean anything...but yo this was drastically noticeable to me, and on Pro difficulty. Just yesterday I was able to pick out 5 idiotic plays in a quarter and a half...to today's.

Someone play something not on Pro or AllStar and take notice and of the D. Is this all in my head eh?
