Also does anyone know how to set player roles and rotation minutes in MyLeague without having a player get injured first while simming offdays?

I'm thinking of playing myPark for PC. Is there a specific level that I should get to in order to not be terrible (I'm a center). I also picked the Rivet City as it seems to go well with my character. Any advice?

PC Getting this patch about the same time is a huge loving increase in how they are supporting PC players, that's pretty rad.The Glumslinger posted:Speaking of the PC patch, are people still seeing crashes on PC? Can you post your specs if you are? Reposting this, if you are on PC and seeing problems help the man out and make the game better. Doltos posted:Yeah my bench is almost always Nash/Allen/Garnett. Doesn't make a lot of sense considering these guys have reasonably cheap expiring contracts that the CPU won't even think about touching. On the flip side you can't hope to get Embiid or Wiggins in the latter half of the second round which makes team building kind of interesting if you're planning on a young corps of players. I took Lillard 1 and got Wiggins in the 2nd. I really wanted Anthony Davis but he goes like 4th overall and myGM won't let me set draft order.

I haven't had any issues with crashes, thankfully, but there's a number of guys on the steam forums for the game who've made pretty detailed posts about their hardware and stuff. One poor guy can't get the game to launch at all, and he sounds normal enough and has a perfectly decent computer and has done basically everything on the planet to get the game running. I'm just relieved we're getting the patch, playing PG is ok but I miss my large angry dunking man and don't want to start over.

I got Lillard/T. Allen/Wiggins/Noel/Sanders as my starting lineup and Lin/Carter/Barnes/Teletovic/Anderson as my bench. The squad made the playoffs so I'm pretty happy with it. Also I don't really like Anthony Davis in this game. He's a beast on the boards but bigs that can shoot turnaround jumpers and fadeaways are scoring gods. I haven't met a single person online that can stop it or the CPU for that matter.

Occassionally this has crashed to the desktop for me mid game (has only happened maybe 3 or 4 times in my 35 hours of playing).

I just had Wiggins do this dopey superman dunk over a guy where he came up completely short and the front of the basketball hit the front of the rim. Then right after that I held my shot for too long on a wide open down the paint layup with Lillard and he loving airballed.

I'm having a lot of fun with MyTeam's Domination mode. I'm up to the point where I have to have pretty good games to get all the 3 stars - just finished with the Nets. My favorite player has easily been Oladipo. Dude is a monster on the offensive end of the floor and is pretty good defensively as well. Using him to cheese is pretty much the best way to get enough myteam points you need to get the requirements for the stars in Domination. Even cheesing, I'm finding it pretty tough go get over the 750MTP mark consistently. Edit: I got impatient with all my saved up MTP and because it's under maintenance, instead of using them on the auction house on one of the affordable gold players, I bought my first VIP pack and drew James Harden. I used him for the first time against the Suns and he dropped 43 on them - earning me 827MTP.  Looks like Oladipo is going to be coming off the bench from now on so that my offense doesn't drop off when Harden gets rest.

People online basically just crossover 5 times at the top of the key with him then scorch you the second you bite to one side. Dieng is awesome too. I just wish he was a better rebounder. Offense is so much better if you have a great rebounding matchup. Also what's cool is that we can actually identify good players in this version. Matchups really matter between slow and fast guards/small forwards, or big defensive rebounds vs offensive minded power forwards/centers. Like MyLeague has a tandem of Noel and Sanders which absolutely dominates the boards, but they both got scorched by Blake Griffin in a playoff matchup. But, they're both good versus tall shooting PF's like Gasol and Novitzki. Similarly MyPlayer is a 6'5 210 lbs point guard and get's destroyed by really quick guys like Lillard, Rose, and Westbrook, but dominates slower, bigger PGs and really small PGs. It's neat that they made that noticeable now where instead of just coming out a few boards ahead you can absolutely dominate human players and rubber banding AI by having smart matchups.

The more points you're up, the worse the rubberbanding gets. When you're up by more than 50 (50 seems to be the breakpoint but I'm honestly not sure), the computer follows to the logical extreme and dumpsters your shooting while missing very few of its own shots. In normal game situations, it might affect you in more unnoticeable ways, such as changing your shot quality from a B to a C+, to simulate the defense covering you harder, and it can obviously tweak how well the opposing team is going to shoot as well. When you change the sliders to never miss, it's glaringly obvious that something's loving with your ability to shoot since, y'know, you're missing shots.

However, it does make it so that even the worst release possible still goes in about 50% of the time in a game. You're incredibly unlikely to miss any reasonable shot you take if you aren't shooting through a double team. If you put all of the sliders to max, it's very easy to shoot 90% from the field. When that suddenly drops to, say, zero, it's really, really noticeable.

Whether or not there is some sort of rubber-banding, runs in basketball happen a lot. That is in the game and years ago they talked about how they worked on tweaking factors to have games replicate real life: frequent runs and droughts. I believe they also said they didn't hard-code in any make/miss adjustments, though I can't recall. Either way, in real and video-game basketball it's very realistic for the same lineup to get up by 20 points, and then give 16 of it back in a short amount of time.

Yeah what's funny is when both the cpu and my team are brick in shots and I say to myself "if I could have just taken advantage" like I would watching a real basketball game. When I first started I played patiently but now I push the ball as much as possible, set picks a bunch and drive into the paint.

To me, it's felt pretty consistent for the past few years of 2K: the game has to do some rubber-banding, to try and simulate that very real possibility in actual basketball of a team going on a run. Unfortunately this seems to have the effect of just making your shots worse/miss for no real reason (I think Emery's slider test is a pretty good indicator of that, it sounds about right). I feel like it's especially noticeable in MyPlayer since if you play like me your guy takes approximately 90% of the team's shots

I'm really just pushing the game to see how it works underneath. Honestly, I like the fact that it's got some underlying workings to keep games more competitive, and in normal gameplay situations it feels very realistic. It's only when you force the game into arcade mode that the computer AI lets on what it's doing, which is pretty great. Assuming shooter fatigue is the cause of the dry spells, you might expect teams to go on 14-20 point runs, but what actually ends up happening are 24-30 point runs, or more if you're against a decent scoring team. It really has to work that way or it would be incredibly easy to win every single game you play handily.

Personally I've never noticed any rubber banding in the game because I'm too busy trying to figure out how on earth you're supposed to stop the AI from scoring 80% of its points in the paint. Even if I let my computer teammate play defense in one on one situations down low they still get scored on. The really frustrating part about this year's game is that when I do manage to play good defense, the computer gets an insane number of offensive rebounds. I don't know if it's a bug or what but I'm not sure I've even seen one of teammates box out before, even after making crashing the boards a point of emphasis.

Defense in general seems to really be all-or-nothing in this year's version, at least on Superstar difficulty. If I'm not right up in the shooter's face when he lets the shot go then I might as well have given up a layup. I even turned down the AI's contested shot success in myGM and they still managed to constantly drain short/mid-range jumpers in my and my center/PF's faces because apparently my help defender charging straight at them and me jumping at them from a foot away from the side or behind doesn't count as contesting a shot. It's ok when Chris Paul or Curry torch me for 40, but I've seen even lovely backup PGs drive into the paint, fumble the ball so that they're forced to stop and pick it up, and then cooly drain a fadeaway 180 jumper over the helpless hands of my center. Considering how many of my open shots get bumped down in quality to like a B- or C+ if a defender even looks at me, it's kind of ridiculous how many supposedly contested shots the AI knocks down.

Also the player rotations when you simulate games in myGM seem really, really hosed sometimes. I jumped into a game recently and on my custom rostered team the AI coach decided to play Durant at PG, (6'10") Ed Davis at SG, and Julius Randle at SF. With Westbrook, Beverley, Lavine, and Wesley Johnson sitting on the bench, none of whom were in foul trouble or had less than 90 energy. I even have their minutes properly set and everything, but the game apparently decided to give Ed Davis his 4 minutes during the middle of the 4th quarter in a 4 point game. Thanks, coach! PS you're fired into the loving sun.

Yeah, early on in your career there really isn't poo poo you can do about this since you only play a few minutes here and there. Later on once you're starting it doesn't really happen though, since you're playing 36+ minutes a game pretty quickly once you become a starter.

Yeah, my second myplayer was told after his first game after signing for the year he was getting more minutes. After the 2nd game they told him he was starting. He's 68 OVR starting ahead of 79 Kevin Martin. Now it's no fun to play 5 minutes a game for months, but I think that's still a bit early to start. I'd have been okay with being the 6th or 7th man for a bit longer.
