Yeah rebounding seems to have been "fixed". Your guy gets the rebounds you expect him to, guys no longer jump straight up in the air and get hit in the head with the ball, AI big men no longer teleport around/over you if they get a lucky roll on the rebounding RNG check, and the computer seems to be pretty good about letting you get the rebound if you're clearly in position and are obviously the one who's going to get it as opposed to fighting you for it. Seems much easier to have decent games as a big man now than in 2k14, where you'd end up with like 3 rebounds in a game because your PG managed to out-jump you for every other rebound. I've noticed players also don't give away whether a shot is a make or miss now by actually attempting to box out on every shot rather than just misses like they did in 2k14. I still wish they'd figure out a way to have off-ball player movement feel less rigid and not be so animation-dependent, but all in all this year's version seems to feel really good.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Tried a bit of myTeam tonight. loving awful. Defense is impossible. Scrublords like Nemanja Nedovic shooting 80% from 3. Pablo Prigioni dropping 35 on 80% shooting from the field (6 minute quarters). The second game I played, the opposing team shot 70% from the field. poo poo is infuriating. I'm mad at video games for how bad I am in MyTeam. I played the first game against the Jazz in Domination mode with 4 silvers and a gold player and still lost. Was up 10 in the 1st Q and thought it was easy. Up 5 at the half and then down 5 half way through the 3rd. Missed a game tying 3 at the buzzer, not that I would have won in OT anyway.

Two of the 3 people I've played in myTeam have Kevin Durant in the middle of all their bronze scrubs which essentially makes them unbeatable for an actual bronze scrub team like mine. Was there some bullshit preorder promotion or something?

Anyone notice missing info in MyCareer mode during games? Commentators saying things like "let's take a look at the best 3-point shooters over the last 10 games...Lillard at 5th" but the chart doesn't show on screen like last year.

peer posted:I'm finding rebounding to be massively easier this time around. Positioning seems to be the key (as it should be), and I rarely see opposing players magically snatch rebounds out of my guy's hands anymore. Usually your guy is also smart enough to jump slightly towards the ball to catch it, rather than straight up. I must be the only one who is a little worse at rebounding this year. (of course playing MyPlayer and focusing on being a big man probably would make me better at it.) Several times I've had players grab/drop a rebound or have the ball just roll off their arm. Which mode do people here like more, MyGM or MyLeague? I still can't decide which one I like more. Both are pretty fun, being able to stack the NBA in MyLeague with classic teams is great. I also like being able to change the number of games in a season and in a playoff series. In the first MyLeague season, less playoff games needed to win a series caused the 95-96 Bulls (with Ray Allen) to be upset by the current Bulls. (Gasol came back right in time for the series.) If you play MyLeague, don't make the mistake I did the first time and forget to set it to multiple seasons. Having my team lose in the Finals and realizing I don't get to do next year stinks.

Why do some people show up as --- on the stats page for previous years? Like one of the league mvp is listed that way. Why is not in the game? Also Phil Jackson isn't listed for any coach records.

Ok maybe im an idiot but I need help here because ive just completed two long rear end challenges only to not qualify. Where do I find what I actually need to do to complete the challenges? For example under win requirements for the Big Man challenge it just tells you who youre facing, not whatever the objective is. Lineup restrictions are not to include centers and Im assuming Power Forwards arent counting as centers so how did I fail?

Caved in & bought a PS4 for this game (well, and the potential that other good games may eventually be released)...I might be an idiot. But this game is pretty great. PSN: bigblindG No server issues (yet??) for me, just playing MyPlayer. But I'd be interested in checking out the Park mode if anyone wants to get wrecked

What happens when your rookie season/contract ends in myCareer? Can you pick what team you go to/signs you, or do you only have a handful of options again?

VDay posted:What happens when your rookie season/contract ends in myCareer? Can you pick what team you go to/signs you, or do you only have a handful of options again? Your agent asks you for three teams that you want him to try and get you a contract with. You get 3 visits during the offseason - by the mentor of one of those teams in your top 3 as well as for one team that wasn't a top choice and your current team's mentor. They all try and convince you to go to their team. You then get a listing by your agent of how much you'll be paid per game with each of your top 3 choices, assuming they offered you a contract, as well as for any other teams in the NBA. I actually got offers from every NBA team, so I'm assuming that it's basically your choice of what team to go to. For whatever team you choose, Doc Rivers becomes your team's coach and you have a press conference together.
